NBA rumours 2

20 Oct 2019 17:46:49
OKC collected 6 1st picks. If neither Indiana nor Boston can sign them, OKC should trade for:

OKC: Sabonis, Brown

Boston: Ferguson, 3x 1st

Indiana: Buzley, 3x 1st

Finally they could move Adams for a scorer like Hardaway - maybe. : )

20 Oct 2019 18:14:45
How does OKC resign them? Just resigning one of them to the near max deal will put OKC up against the LUXURY cap next year. The other walks after giving up 3 firsts to get?

20 Oct 2019 20:33:58
By moving Adams to Dallas :)
Take Waiters from Heat beside Dragic and Leonard for Paul.
Next summer they have Adams (or Hardaway : ) and Waiters have only 1y left (nice trade chips) and Gallinari, Leonard and Dragic are gone.

But sry, you have to think a lit bit. Using the brain. You know. , )

21 Oct 2019 00:32:01
So you have essentially have traded Westbrook, Grant, Adams, PG13 and 2 young talents away and to have Sabonis, Brown, SGA and a future 1st from Dallas to show for it. Plus, OKC will still be pushing up against the Luxury tax line.

I don't think that is a good haul at all. At least that is what my brain says.

21 Oct 2019 02:41:38
OKC would be giving up to much. 2 young assets and 6 1sts they are giving up way to much. No way BOS and IND get 3 1sts and a young asset for players they want to move or a player that wants to much money.

21 Oct 2019 08:35:26
I like Sabonis, but receiving 3 picks for him is a rip off. so a big yes for Indy.

J Brown isn't worth more than 80M for 4 years. Even if he has a breakout year, it would only be because it's a money year.

21 Oct 2019 15:54:10
I'd be shocked if Indy or Boston got two firsts for Brown/ Sabonis, let alone 3 and a young player.

20 Oct 2019 17:32:55
Celtics should do a natural move - now, today!

Sabonis is the player they need! The very big FA do not look Boston first!

Indiana: Priorier, 2x 1st 2020

Boston: Sabonis

Boston keep Brown and Sabonis an try to win. If it works they can MAX out both next season, if not they can look for sign and trade deals.

21 Oct 2019 08:42:39
It's a fair price for sabonis, but i believe the duo Sabonis-turner can work. so i would only trade Sabonis for an overpay.

20 Oct 2019 17:16:38
I know 4 teams deal are almost impossible especially one this big but I seen this one and liked it for all the team's.

Boston gets. Adams, Covington,Schroder, Burton and Muscala.

Timberwolves get G.Haward,C.Paul,R.Lanford and Ferguson.

Wizards get Wiggens,Gallinari,Brown and Theis.

OKC gets Teauge,Culver,Dieng,Willams,Wall,Mahinmi,Hachimura a 2020 first from all 3 teams.

20 Oct 2019 18:19:25
Washongton is going to wait on Wall's recovery before giving up young assets and draft picks to unload Wall.

20 Oct 2019 16:40:44
Charlotte get: Sabonis and McDermott

Indiana get: Cody Zeller and future first round pick.

21 Oct 2019 08:43:17
no, you made an Indy fan cry.

21 Oct 2019 17:55:53
You made me laugh so hard. You got to be kidding. Sabonis is 10x better than Cody (and I like Cody) .

19 Oct 2019 22:17:47
IND-ORL-SAC

IND: Gordon, Okeke

ORL: Warren, Hield, Bjelica

SAC: Sabonis, McDermott

20 Oct 2019 01:33:41
Orlando hangs up laughing.

20 Oct 2019 01:50:04
Lol. So if Sacramento isn't giving Hield a max, are they going to offer Sabonis one? This helps them in absolute no way.

21 Oct 2019 08:44:20
big no for Indy and Sacramento.

19 Oct 2019 21:55:02
Pacers - Suns - Thunder

Pacers gets:
Saric
Nader
2020 2nd rd pick (Thunder)
2022 2nd rd pick (Suns)

Suns gets:
Gallinari (expiring)

Thunder gets:
T.Johnson (expiring)
Sabonis

21 Oct 2019 08:45:43
Sabonis is not on the trade block.
We could trade him for a good deal, but he doesn't need to go.

I like Saric, but i value Sabonis higher. so we would want 1 first round pick too.

19 Oct 2019 12:54:47
Since the natural trade Brown for Sabonis will not happen, since neither Boston nor Indiana will MAX out Brown or Sabonis, I see a nice play with OKC and Mavs : ) since OKC can max Sabonis out to have a modern and nice 1 - 5 punch and they will have immediatelly nice shooting on the wing and are out of luxary! Indiana gets a lot of asset and Mavs the force in the middle (and train Adams to take some open looks behind the arc) and a young 3&D that can become a mentor in Lee for some time!

OKC: Sabonis, Hardaway

Indiana: Jackson, 2 x 1 (OKC, Mavs)

Dallas: Adams, Ferguson

A really nice one!

19 Oct 2019 13:23:01
Lmao. Porzingis is 7'4" should be the center.

19 Oct 2019 17:10:00
He is 7'4". But its a soft 7'4". How many season has he averaged 10 rebounds per game?

19 Oct 2019 19:18:12
Only 10 centers averaged 10 boards per game last year, not sure that’s the “is he good enough to play center? ” test.

19 Oct 2019 21:57:17
Is it a metric of what a top 10 center should be?

19 Oct 2019 23:13:59
Whiteside was one of them, Kanter another, so no?

I think a defensive cornerstone is the necessary part of being an effective starting center. Porzingis is definitely an effective defender and rim protector.

20 Oct 2019 01:51:10
So is Whiteside.

20 Oct 2019 17:30:30
Look KPorzee playing. He can be a good defender and block shots, since he is athletic and large. But he is a uniquehorn but neither a post nor a boxout player, since he need a strong force beside, like Nowitzki did - then he can become great - if he stays health.

19 Oct 2019 07:21:35
Rumor has it Sabonis is on the trade block. I want him back in okc! What about this?

Orlando gets Gallinari, Nader

Indy gets Isaac, Denver 1st

Okc gets Sabonis, Fournier

19 Oct 2019 09:31:39
I think it's a fair trade for Indy.

I can't see Orlando doing this.

19 Oct 2019 12:40:42
For Orlando, they are built around their two bigs: Vucevic, Gordon. They now have a super interesting piece in Fultz. They have a few good shooters on the wings, but giving them a big who can spread the floor will make it that much easier to help Fultz be successful. I also think that Isaac will never get his due in Orlando. Gordon and Gallinari are both ideally 4s, but I think their different skill sets will allow them to be on the floor at the same time. But I appreciate the feedback.
