    Yeah that makes sense. There is no reason for Detroit to dump Grant for a small return now, and I wouldn't want the Blazers to give up a pick or other good asset to get him now either.

    Dunno if Grant necessarily has to be the play. Would the Pels pick be enough to land Christian Wood? How about Harrison Barnes? Are the Knicks or Hawks still possibly interested in moving off Randle or Collins? Is Davis Bertans salvageable?

    I have to imagine there are ways to convert that partially NGC into something that can contribute after Dame's return.

    IMO Toronto could really use a good backup PG, trade Dragic straight across and they can keep him next yr or not, maybe we get a 2nd back or maybe not - either way we chop off another 3.9 mil

    Harden is an absolute ass. Was a baby and forced his way out of Houston to Brooklyn and now is pulling the same shit with them to force his way to Philly.

    And there is 100% tampering going on with Morey

    What a joke

    It might be, but those players mess with the cap space play. (unbalanced trades, not FA'cy) IF they were to do something like that, it would be later this summer from the impression I get.

    His back-to-back '3' are already on perpetual loop on his big screen at home.

    We need more second-round picks.

    Ben McLemore....a Playoff level team could use his shooting off the bench.

    At first I was sad that we won because it’s tanking season baby! But the fact that LeBron and AD were beaten by The Big Nep makes it too sweet to hate.

    If I'm Brooklyn I just might rather have Simmons and Curry than Harden and his pending supermax.

    phila & brooklyn should make a deal, its for the best

    both teams get players that can help them a lot and lose players that dont want to be on ther respective teams anymore

    it all comes down to if daryl morey is ready to include other pieces like maxey or thybulle or curry... i dont think they will give maxey, they will give either thybulle or curry or maybe both, although unlikely

    Yes but I'm more annoyed at the principle. Faking injuries and dogging it to threaten leaving in FA.

    Man am I glad we have Dame

    The issue for BRK doing this, is Simmons (like Kawhi) is a West Coast guy and that is where he wants to be. It is complicated enough to start with, but it might require a 3rd team.

    Simmons is from Australia.

    And he went to HS in Florida.

    He has a mansion in LA but he has 0 ties to the west coast.

    You mean...the cap space intended to be used to bring in a legitimate player? If we can bring in a player by using the contract that we'll cut in order to create cap space to use to bring in a player, why not just make a decent trade now?

    The value in doing it now, of course is that Bledsoe's NGC can't be of value to another team if we still have him 5 hours from now.

    Sure, if it is the right guy. Some of those names that were listed are not close to being under consideration.
