Oklahoma City Thunder Rumours

16 Apr 2018 21:12:45
Cavs off-season if Lebron leaves

Trade

The Cavs get Anderson, Noah, Ferguson, Burk, the 9th pick via NY, 2 future Houston 1sts and 2 2nds from the Thunder

The Knicks get Hill, Gordon, and Singler

The Thunder get Courtney Lee

Houston gets Lebron and Patterson

2nd trade

The Cavs get Brooks, Parsons, the 2nd overall pick, the 12th overall pick and the 2021 Memphis pick lottery protected

The Clippers get the 8th pick and Clarkson

The Grizzlies get Love, Lou Williams, and the 13 overall pick

3rd trade

Lakers get Smith (buyout, and Korver(buyout)

The Cavs get Deng and the Lakers 2020 1st lottery protected

4th trade

The Cavs get Dieng, Tyus Jones, and a 2nd

The Timberwolves get Ryan Anderson

Draft Doncic, Young and Knox

Let Hood walk

Pg Young/Jones/Burks
Sg Doncic/ Ferguson
SF Osman/Brooks/Deng
PF Knox/Dieng/Parsons
C Nance/Zizic/Noah

The roster would be at around 106 million, so it would be below the luxury tax and Deng, Parsons, and Noah can all be bought out after. Next season.

The Cavs would have 4 extra future 1sts

17 Apr 2018 00:49:22
Why let Hood walk? Just curious.

17 Apr 2018 21:17:17
I just don't see the Cavs being willing to pay luxury tax to keep him, if they're rebuilding.

16 Apr 2018 02:49:27
SAS-MIN

Leonard, Gasol for

Wiggins, Patton, Dieng, 2018 OKC 1st rd pick, 2020 MIN 1st rd pick

Thoughts?

16 Apr 2018 05:27:47
I think the Spurs would rather Gasol than Dieng.

16 Apr 2018 05:49:41
I just would not invest in Wiggins as the centrepiece of a KL deal.

15 Apr 2018 19:55:59
OKC starts a rebuilt

1) S&T
OKC: Deng+ Ingram
LA P George

2)
Utah: Westbrook
OKC: Mitcchell+ Ingels+Burks

3)
OKC: T Thompson+ JR smith+ 1rnd pick Nets (Bamba)+ future first round pick Cle
Cle: Ingels+Adams

15 Apr 2018 21:15:30
Cavs not giving up brk pick for overpaiad Steven Adams.

15 Apr 2018 21:52:37
chicago, he's not overpaid tho.

15 Apr 2018 21:52:53
but the trade is still stupid.

14 Apr 2018 13:22:48
kawhi leonard trade offer

suns receives: kawhi leonard, patty mills

spurs receives: Josh Jackson, Dragan Bender, Tyler Ulis #15 and #17 pick (via miami and via bucks)

or

timberwolves receives: kawhi leonard, patty mills

spurs receives: tyus jones, justin patton, andrew wiggins and #23 (via thunder)

or

knicks receive: kawhi leonard

spurs receives: courtney lee, lance thomas, frank ntilikina #9 #37 (from knicks) and knicks 2019 1st rd pk lottery protected

what team leonard landed if not to celtics lakers and 76ers what to knicks, wolves and suns

14 Apr 2018 15:17:28
knicks trade can't happen. if the knicks trade the #9 pick this year, they can't trade their #1 next year, lottery protected or not. can't be without a #1 pick in consecutive years according to the rules.

14 Apr 2018 16:07:15
The 1st one is decent if the Suns want to roll the dice on an expiring Kawhi.

The 2nd isn't enough for the Spurs. I don't see the Spurs valuing Wiggins. Especially, now that he's going to be making north of 25 million. The pick and Jones are decent assets, but not enough to get Kawhi

I don't think the third is enough either. I think they would want more than 2 good assets, a future late pick and some savings.

It's funny that on a Kawhi trade I made yesterday giving up 2 Lottery picks, 3 propsects that are only like half a step down from Ntilikina, more savings for the Spurs plus 2 future 1sts, a high 2nd and 2 potetial pick swaps, you said that wasn't enough for Leonard, but then you offer up these trades. The only trade that you could even argue gives more is the Phoenix trade and that's only if you're really high on Jackson.

14 Apr 2018 16:31:42
The pick belongs to the Bucks because it fell into the protection slot for the Bucks.

14 Apr 2018 16:45:24
PHX doesn't have the Bucks pick. It was protected, and stays with the Bucks this season.

14 Apr 2018 19:38:43
What team does Kawhi want to go to because he is just a rental otherwise can’t see him staying in Phoenix.

14 Apr 2018 20:29:50
Chriss, ulis, Miami first, + either bucks future first, or Miami future first.

12 Apr 2018 21:17:37
Making Phoenix monster
Trade 1
Phoenix gets Lamb and Walker

The Hornets get Knight, The Miami 18 and 21 1sts, the Bucks 18 1st plus save 5 million

Trade 2
The Spurs get Chandler(exp), Jackson, Williams, Ullis, the Pheonix likely 1st overall and 2 Suns 2nds plus they save 4 million this year

The Suns get Kawhi and Green

Trade 3
George opts in to be traded

The Thunder get Lamb and Warren

Suns get George

Trade 4

The Pistons get Dudley(expiring), Bender, Daniels, Chris, and a 2020 phx 1st

Resign Peyton

Sign Dedmond for half the MLE and the other half on Kyle Anderson

Sign Illyasova, Calderon, Frye, and Deandre Liggins

Walker/Payton/Calderon
Booker/Green
George/ Anderson/ Liggins
Leonard/ Illyasova
Drummond/Dedmond/Frye

13 Apr 2018 18:31:58
You have the Cavs getting leaned for the 8th pick, yet have Phoenix giving up the 1st overall, plus Jackson and 2 2nds along with ulis. Jackson has more value then anyone on the Cavs besides lebron.

12 Apr 2018 16:20:50
Cavs off-season

Spurs get Lebron and Patterson

Cavs get Gasol, Murray, Singler, Abrines 2 Spurs 1st, the Thunder 22 1st top 5 protected and a 2nd

OKC gets Korver and Danny Green

2nd trade

The Cavs get Turner, Harkless, Leonard, Sabonis, Swanigan, 19 and 21 1sts , and 18 and 20 Pacers 1sts

The Pacers get Love and Hill

Portland gets Thad Young, Clarkson, Bogdonavic and Jefferson

3rd trade
The Knicks get Jr Smith (buyout), Singler and Nance

The Cavs get Noah and the Knicks 18 1st

Cavs New roster

Pg Murray
Sg Hood/ Abrines
Sf Osman/Harkless/Turner
Pf Swanigan/ Gasol
C Sabonis/Zizic/ Leonard/Noah
Payroll approximately 110 million including the 18 picks.
+ 18 Nets, Knicks, Spurs and Pacers 1sts
19 Cavs (if in the top 10), Portland 1sts
20 Cavs, Spurs, Pacers 1sts
21 Cavs, Portland 1sts
22 Cavs, Thunder 1sts

I also think they should be willing to deal Gasol(19-20 is only partially guaranteed), Harkless, Abrines, Hood, and Murray at the deadline for the right price (in that order). Gasol for 1st if someone wants to move a big contract, Harkless and Abrines for a 2nd or 2, a young player with some potential, or a some decent cap relief. Hood for mid 1st round pick and some cap relief and Murray for a potetial top 10 pick. Potentially make a run at Wiggins if the Cavs can get him cheap.

Buyout Turner, Leonard, Noah, and possibly Gasol ans Harkless next summer. Even if they can only save a few million from each, it should keen them out of the luxury tax.

15 Apr 2018 00:37:44
Trades have to work for all parties involved. If you think the Pacers would give up 2 players and 2 first round picks to a division rival along with 2 additional players to another team and then only receive 2 players in return your crazy.

15 Apr 2018 04:49:03
Trades are suppose to work for all party involved. If you think the Pacers would trade 2 young up and coming players and 2 first round draft picks to a division rival and 3 other players for a pg whose best days are behind him, and an overpaid PF you're crazy.

10 Apr 2018 20:46:11
The Cavs get Deandre Jordan, Danny Green, Rudy Gay and Patrick Beverly

Give up the Brooklyn 1st, Clarkson, Zizic Osman, Smith, Korver, and Thompson



The Spurs get Smith(buyout), Gibson(buyout), Maranovich(waive)Cole Aldrich (waive) Thompson, Wiggins, Tyus Jones, Osman, the Brooklyn, Detroit, Clippers, thunder 18 picks, and a Cavs, Timberwolves and Clippers 2nd

Give up Gay, Green, Leonard, Aldridge, Gasol, and Mills



The Timberwolves get Aldridge, Tobias Harris, Korver, and Mills

Give up Wiggins, Aldrich, Gibson, Tyus Jones, and thunder 18 1st


The Clippers get Kawhi, Clarkson, Zizic, and Gasol

The Clippers give Jordan, Harrison, Marnojvic, Beverly, the Detroit 18 and Clippers 18



The Cavs build an elite defense to go with their good offense

The Clippers get Kawhi to build around and get back to the playoffs

Minnesota gets rid of the Wiggins Headache and while they get a little older Harris and Aldridge may be better than Wiggins right now. Plus, they add some much needed depth as long as Thibs is willing to use it.

The Spurs sell off all of their older assets in one trade. They get 3 lottery picks this year, plus 2 more 1sts this year, a 22 year old potential star. And they Open up 40 million extra dollars next year. Plus they get a guy they were interested in over the summer in Osman and Tyus Jones who seems like a guy Pop could build Into something, They can tank next year for another high pick. Then use what would be potentially 70 plus million to get back to winning the year after and with all the young talent they would have the program can flourish even after Pop.

11 Apr 2018 01:16:21
rkenne_16 your trade is super unrealistic i feel bad for spurs giving up their all player gay green leonard aldrigde gasol and mills? for unsense return poor man spurs is in playoffs race and i'm not seeing they need to fully rebuild? haha so funny bro you want to give up their all player? you want to giveup two of their all star leonard and aldrigde and no all star in return funny bro i don't care if i have 3 picks this upcoming draft if i don't have all star in returns and you want to buyout gibson and waive Maranovich i think gibson and maranovich much better to tristan thompson i rather waive or buyout tristan thompson rather than maranovich and gibson spurs don't want to swallow tristan thompson

08 Apr 2018 05:09:06
Lebron leaves

Kevin love to Minnesota for Andrew Wiggins and okc 1st

08 Apr 2018 05:50:03
I'd take my chances with Wiggins. Love is the better player, but Wiggins is 22. Room to improve, and who knows what the pick will return in 4 seasons when Love will be nearly retired.

08 Apr 2018 16:02:37
Why I think ninny will take this trade is because ther in win now mode a Andrew Wiggins hasn’t been that good with jimmy butler.

08 Apr 2018 16:41:39
Jorga, I think the question is if Wiggins will ever become a winning player. He puts up big stats, but he's barely a plus on the offensive end and he's a black hole on defense. It also seems that most of his problems from his rookie year are the same problems he has now. If he ever puts it together he could be good, but 4 years in, I think it's safe to say that he may end up being nothing more than a bulk scorer. He's a poor mans Melo.

08 Apr 2018 18:10:42
Win now mode? They were lottery last season. This is their first year on a winning track. Could still be a lottery team this season. KAT is Young, Wiggins is Young, OKC pick? Love will be done by age 35 likely, maybe hang on for 2 more. MIN because of Butler and Gibson, and Teague need to add more vets? Why not add young guys to a winning culture? Wiggins is 22 could still improve. Bad deal for MIN, great for CLE.

06 Apr 2018 04:23:17
Cavs offseason unrealistic

Trade Jordan Clarkson,Cedi Osman,Ante Zizic,Brooklyn 1st for Kawhi Leonard

Trade Kevin love to the pacers for Corey Joseph,al Jefferson,Ike anibogou,2019 1st,2021 1st top 11 protected

06 Apr 2018 06:18:44
I'm confused I don't know whether to check the believable, or unbelievable box. The heading starts out: CAV's offseason unrealistic. Altman would be GM of the decade. Comparable to hitting the lottery twice in a month. Especially if the draftee's pan out.

06 Apr 2018 09:42:58
Basically he saying this his Cavs pipe dream. I feel bad for his son, but Lebron does not want to play for this owner beyond this yr, unfortunately for us Knicks fans he probably hates Dolan more than us Knicks fans. He could join the Lakers potentially.

06 Apr 2018 13:49:33
You’re a Knicks fan? Why are your trades so awful for the Knicks then?

06 Apr 2018 13:53:28
This Cavs/ Spurs deal has been posted before, and it has not become any more believable now than it was a couple of days ago. Again, Clarkson, bad (not horrible) contract, Zizic and Osman, good but not great prospects, and pick 7, nice, but not enough to entice the Spurs to make the deal based on the players included.

06 Apr 2018 14:33:38
J R Smith and Korver don't get you picks. You might have to give picks to get rid of them.

06 Apr 2018 16:34:58
Triangle O, that is pretty funny. I have seen this trade 3 times minimum already, maybe 4.

04 Apr 2018 12:21:27
I think East are all set now for playoffs..
Raptors, Celtics, Cavaliers, Sixers
Pacers, Wizards, Bucks, and Heat

West lockup teams: Rockets, Warriors and Blazers
Its up to these 7 teams fighting for 5 spots left:
Spurs, Thunder, Wolves, Jazz, Pelicans, Nuggets and Clippers

06 Apr 2018 00:54:19
Thanks, Captain Obvious.

28 Mar 2018 15:52:42
Marc Jackson plan

Hornets get Kanter Hardaway Noah
Pacers get C.Zeller
Knicks get Howard Melo Jefferson
OKC get Batum

Clippers get Lee Thomas Mudiay
Knicks get Beverly Faried Arthur
Magic get Rivers
Nuggets get Ross W.Johnson

Melo retire in class also restore super stars thought process to want to play for NY. Which is important going into next summer. Knicks will have 70 mil in cap space with 35 mil in payroll in 2019 to sign 3 superstars. Mark Jackson smarter Hornicek knows when you have 2 bigs in at same time, you don't run and gun. Draft Mykal Bridges. Beasley 1yr 10mil

Ntilikina/Burke/Beverly
Bridges-9th/Hutchinson-38th/Dotson
Beasley/Diop-43rd/T.Williams
Melo/Faried/Arthur
Porzingis/Howard/Jefferson

28 Mar 2018 17:35:52
Sam Presti would rent a Cadillac Escalade and drive Anthony to Manhattan if the Knicks could be conned into taking him back.

28 Mar 2018 18:15:07
Super, do you really think that Presti would rather have a horribly overpriced oft injured Batum over Melo? Melo also has one less year on his contract.

28 Mar 2018 18:49:56
Mark Jackson? Why? He was fired for Kerr because the players didn't like him. The players today are less tolerant than Curry, and crew. That was a very public disclosure. The owners asked, and the players said he could go, and they wouldn't object. So why hire the guy to build a modern Knicks team.

28 Mar 2018 20:26:08
There Are/ Will be better choices for HC with the Knicks than M. Jackson. I could see a J. Van Gundy, or better yet, D Fizdale, Before having M. Jackson coaching the Knicks.

29 Mar 2018 00:39:45
The news Jackson or doc rivers, those are choices.

29 Mar 2018 00:54:01
2019 Roster

Irving/ Ntilikina
Bridges/ Hutchinson
Lebron/ Dotson
Durant/ Diop
Porzingis/ BolBol.

29 Mar 2018 01:49:24
Bring back Balky (AKA Jeff Van Gundy), I miss that guy.

Actually, with the youth movement the Knicks are trending towards, I think a Brad Stevens type (Jay Wright maybe? ) would be the best fit. Jackson would not work with an emotional guy like Zinger, and while some seem to think he's a great coaching candidate, the Warriors had to let him go and hire Kerr to reach their potential. He would be better than Hornacek, but still not the answer.

29 Mar 2018 02:41:58
If the choice was Jackson, Rivers, Fizdale, JVG, Kidd, Monty Williams, Stackhouse, Top NCAA HC wanting to jump, or another Top NBA assistant wanting to be a coach in NY. I'd pick:
1. Top NBA assistant
2. Top NCAA HC
3. Stackhouse
4. Monty Williams
5. Rivers

If Fizdale benched Lebron the way he did Gasol, he wouldn't coach again in the league. Lue would never think about it, even when Lebron yells in the huddles, essentially what Gasol did. JVG seems retired. He's not even helping his brother in DET. Kidd - MIL, Parker, stories make him sound like a jackass. No Thanks. Jackson - GS, former teammates, and employers, players stories make him sound like a totalitarian. NY needs a player counselor/ manager/ general, not drill sergeant. Same reason for no on Fizdale. Those guys, and Dolan, and Porzingis already establishing he will not be bullied by fake authority. Sounds like a bad idea. Hornacek was rumored to be chippy as a player, but I was surprised that he has had yelling matches with Porzingis, O'Quinn, Noah. A complete opposite guy needs to be there. NY needs a special guy. Rivers has proven he can coach through adversity, and roster deficiencies, and be effective. I doubt he'll be available, could be wrong. Doc is a good player/ personality manager, he doesn't get enough credit for that. In my opinion.

24 Mar 2018 18:00:32
T Wolves - Wizards

TW get: Wall, Morris

W get: Teague, Dieng, Patton, OKC 1st, 2019 or 2020 TW 1st

Wall
Butler
Wiggins
Morris
Towns

Teague
Beal
Porter
Dieng
Patton/Gortat

24 Mar 2018 18:19:24
the wolves would never get this deal across with wall without giving up their super stars, Wall is a top 3 PG in the east when healthy this is a horrible trade for the wizards.

24 Mar 2018 21:22:59
If you find a 3rd team and wiggens.

25 Mar 2018 18:43:58
Wiggins would have to be involved in any deal for a star to minny.

29 Mar 2018 22:26:57
If you still look at Patton (last year's #16 pick) as a 1st, that's three first rounders. And while Gorgui is overpaid, he could start for the Wizards right now, and he would certainly fill a need next year, as Gortat ages out. Dieng was #62 in RPM for the whole NBA last year as a starter. He has been worse this year as a back up, but if he is on a team that starts him, I think his contract looks a lot better. Finally, Dunc'd On recently ranked PG's, and I believe Wall came in about 8th, and Teague was 11-14.

I have always liked John Wall, but the PG position is rich in talent, he is a star - not a superstar, will be paid a lot, and is coming off an injury. With Morris included, I don't think this is so bad for WAS, and I would in fact remove one of those 1st rounders and still do the deal.

How close would Wall + Mahinmi for Teague and Dieng be? One 1st away?

22 Mar 2018 20:30:41
Before they traded Harde to Houston, OKC offered him to GS for K Thompson.

What team would be the better one?

OKC
Ibaka-Durant-Westbrook-Thompson

or
D Green-Barnes-Curry-Harden

22 Mar 2018 22:15:23
Green > Ibaka
Durant > Barnes
Westbrook = Curry (push)
Harden > Thompson

Golden State would still have the edge. Slightly though.

23 Mar 2018 00:24:26
I'd take OKC in this scenario. Durant is the best player in this scenario and all 4 OKC players are good defenders. Curry struggles on the ball, Harden is all around awful on defense and Barnes would probably be the sixth best player among all of the players here.

23 Mar 2018 01:18:49
Stop living in the past enjoy Melo lmao.

23 Mar 2018 12:47:21
Individually, the players on the Warriors would still be better, but I think that OKC might be the better team. Even if they kept Harden, I don't think the chemistry between those three would have worked, but Thompson is the kind of guy that doesn't mind getting his quietly. He takes advantage when he gets his chances, and he doesn't complain about not being a focal point. That's really important to the Warriors' success right now, and I think it would be the swing here as well.

23 Mar 2018 17:49:54
Curry is injury prone. I don't think he is equal to the human triple double, Russell Westbrook. IMO.

23 Mar 2018 18:15:15
I actually think the opposite of soxfan. Individually the talent is probably slightly better in OKC, but I think that the PGs are the tipping point for a championship. I don’t believe in Westbrook being able to be a second option. And curry is an amazing TEAM player.

Also, if you’re factoring in coaching, I think GS has a massive advantage.

20 Mar 2018 10:11:11
clippers: P George+ 2rnd pick 2019 OKC

OKC: K Love+ 1rnd pick Cleveland

20 Mar 2018 14:51:00
What pick is it that the Cavs are giving up? I'm not sure, they would be willing to trade a potential lottery pick for 2 late lottery picks at best and having to take on Gallo's contract.

20 Mar 2018 15:08:13
a future pick, or maye two second round picks.

20 Mar 2018 19:24:59

10 Mar 2018 23:48:08
Neither trade for the Cavs would work. If Lebron comes back they need Love. Without him, they have no 2nd scorer and their big man rotation ends up with 3 guys who can't shoot. Nance can a little, but not enough to offset Jordan. Lebron is at his best surrounded by shooters that can give him space inside. The other trade is just bad value. All of the players you would expect to come in immediately and contribute are gone.

There's no way that Doncic is available at 6. I don't think there is any way he slips past 3 and there is no way Bamba slips to 8. I can't see him falling farther than 6 and that's only if a team falls in love with Porter or Young.

Also, no matter how many ways you package it, the Knicks aren't getting rid of Noah with Hardaway and Lee. Hardaway has no value because of his huge contract and Lee is going to be a 33 year old role player.

11 Mar 2018 00:24:31
No Melo for Barnes.

11 Mar 2018 03:49:38
The Knicks spent years trying to get someone to take Anthony off their hands. Why would they even consider taking him back?

11 Mar 2018 14:33:05
Obviously it for cap purposes with a proper goodbye bc Knicks plan to take Irving from Celtics in 2019, supercollision.

11 Mar 2018 14:43:33
Nbadraft. net say doncic at 6th.

11 Mar 2018 17:54:42
Melo not going back to the Knicks, period.

12 Mar 2018 01:55:29
Shizzee. Everywhere else has Doncic at #1 or #2, spending on how the lottery goes, he won't slip past #3.

12 Mar 2018 05:37:59
Doncic, Bagley, Bamba, Ayton.

07 Mar 2018 09:39:26

Complete the Process!!!!!

Philly 76ers Offseason:

1. Trade: Fultz, Bayless, Lakers 2018 1st, Philly 2018 1st for CJ McCollum

2. Sign Lebron James 2yrs/60M
3. Sign Paul George 2yrs/60M
4. Sign KCP 1yr/12M
5. Sign Corey Joseph 1yr/8M
6. Sign Dedmon and Frye bot 1yr/Min

Team:

PG - Simmons, Joseph, McConell
SG - McCollum, KCP, TLC
SF - George, Covington, Anderson
PF - Lebron, Saric, Frye
C - Embiid, Dedmon, Holmes

Philly complete the process and go all in! Philly could have 5 all-star caliber players in Lebron, George, McCollum, Simmons and Embiid plus a decent bench

Blazers are desperate for cap relief, their payroll for next season is $112 Million guaranteed for only 9 players. McCollum is only realistic trade option for Portland. Sixers send Fultz who is still very talented, Lakers 2018 lottery pick and Philly's own 1st. Philly may need to add Saric to sweeten the deal if Blazers are stubborn. Philly may target Beal or Oladipo with a similar trade package if unable to get McCollum. If unable to get any, sign Avery Bradley.

Philly could also do a S/T involving Covington to OKC for Paul George to get more cap relief if needed.

Philly cap off an amazing summer by adding Corey Joseph, a lock down 3 and D PG who will run the second unit. KCP would be great to offer more shooting and defense off the bench

Just the 3 stars you have coming in put the 76ers close to the cap. They have room for a little over a max and they would have to get rid of Bayless and Covington just to get close to two max contracts. Rather than McCollum, they maybe able to make Lebron and George fit if they traded for Walker, but even then the numbers would be tight and they would probably have to get Lebron or George to sign and then s and t for the other before they traded for Walker.

Yeah, I realize Philly would struggle to pay for all those guys. On second thought maybe the Sixers don't need Paul George if they get McCollum. Covington gives you what you would want from George defensively and McCollum can put up buckets. George would also take shots away from Simmons and Embiid. This team would definitely win the East and trouble Warriors/ Rockets with size and versatility. Starters could easily average about 100 points per game (Lebron 25ppg, McCollum 25ppg, Embiid 20, Simmons 20 and Covington 10)

-melo wants more money
-OKC would never sign Huestis and Grant to multi year contracts
-jonathon Simmons is not a free agent
-dedmon will want more
-Avery Bradley is worth more than two seconds+abrines's bad contract and Bradley will want at least 23 mil.

27 Feb 2018 22:24:26
Bradley will get more than that and Evans won't be signing for the vet min.

27 Feb 2018 23:15:11
Why would OKC want to keep Anthony?

27 Feb 2018 23:37:23
So much bad here. Melo will either find something bigger, or will just opt in. Bradley is worth more in a deal. Simmons is not an FA, but even if he was, he would be worth $8-$10M. Desmond and Evans will want and get more.

Hou: Cunningham+ 2rnd pick Memphis 2021 and 2rnd pick Nets 2023

Memphis: D Carroll+ E Gordon+ R Anderson+ 1rnd pick Hou 2019 and 2021

Nets: C Parsons+ J Green+McLemore+ 1rnd pick Memphis+ 1rnd pick Hou 2023


Houston signs LBJ

Memphis makes another playoffs run. (Boston owns the 2019 pick, so they can't tank)
C:M Gasol
PF:R Anderson
SF:D Carroll
SG:E Gordon
PG:M Conley

The Nets can draft Bamba or T Young.

I can’t tell if those numbers are per season, or total contract.

28 Feb 2018 15:34:17
That Memphis pick is protected 1-8 in 19 and 1-6 in 20 I believe, so while I like your moves for the Grizzlies, I would much rather them be terrible for three straight years haha.

PHI

It really depends on where the LA/ sac pick ends up. They’d know by the time the deal could happen. If it’s this year’s #6 or 7 pick, Portland probably takes it. If it’s #10 or worse, probably not. And if it’s Sacramento’s pick, not sure Portland wants to wait another year.

27 Feb 2018 18:43:08
2 superstars for a bust pick, 2 good players covington and saric, 10 pick. Did I miss something oh yeah bayless.
