Exclusive 2019 Trade Deadline Thread

Whaaaaat? You crazy. It's obvious that Curry is our best player! He makes everyone around him better.

 

Hooo boy - that's a tricky argument to make. The other side of that coin is that by charging the consumer for journalism only the well-to-do will be informed/educated. It use to be that the cost was paid for (mostly) by the advertisers - and the consumer got free (via library) or heavily subsidized (25 cents - $5 depending on whether it's a daily paper or a weekly magazine) information. With the paywall you're asking for a HUGE (comparatively) upfront payment which essentially removes access to the entire lower class.

 

Getting rid of Love's 30 mil per contract for the next 4 years is huge for Cleveland and their very young team. But I a not sure those numbers add up. If I am Cleveland I would take ET and Aminu plus a young but unproven talent. (i.e Gary Trent)

Portland IMO would be taking a huge gamble paying an often injured player who would be 31, 32, 33, and 34 that kind of money. However I would roll the dice because I think Love's passing, rebounding, and 3 point shooting fits in well next to Nurk.

 

Something I think that is being way undervalued when it comes to KLove is his basketball IQ. He is a very smart player and he's a great stretch 4 along with a great rebounder. He's an NBA champion and would play hard here for his hometown team.
If you can do a deal even close to that....you have to do it.

Unless you can get blake..then go get blake

 

Why mention that B/E has it? Do you want me to go there to discuss it instead of our superior forum? LOL! C'mon man you're a mod.

 

I don't want that Love contract anywhere near Portland.

 

It's not what I want but I still think Love is the most likely trade scenario. It can become a reality in 2 days.

 

Fuck no to Kevin Love. No one is going to trade for him without seeing him play first anyway.

 

Huh? You have it backwards. The B/E article is about the B/R trade, not the other way around.

 

It's still just a meaningless suggestion from a national source like the CJ for Gordon trade though.

 

"I'll trade ya a bucket of horse turds for a bucket of cow turds. As a bonus, I'll screw up your cap space from here to eternity!"

 

Joe. Harris.

 

That's funny, I was literally about to come on here to post the same thing.

Outside of a first though, there's nothing we could offer Brooklyn.

 

Lot of parallels to him and Layman. 4 yr college players. Didn't do anything til yr 3.

You guys want Harris to be our starting SF, or a role player off the bench? I don't see any reason why BK would get rid of him. He's cheap and consistent.

 

He's a better option than anyone we currently have. At worst he plays the sixth man role over Turner. 64% TS%.

 

I agree about his value. I just dont see BK letting him go. Unless they're sure they are getting 2 max FAs, they don't need to clear his meager 8 mil/yr salary. That's a great contract.

 

Joe is perfect for this system.

Klay-lite.
