The trade that's been reported is likely not even official yet, it can't be unless we've already waived one of the guys on our current roster.
STOP IT -- JUST STOP IT Stop the Ben Simmons trade idea's he is bad and at this point I would rather go out and sign Westbrick then bring in Simmons and I HATE Westbrick so please just stop it.
He's the ultimate reclamation project. If people think Dame can help turn Reddish around, why couldn't he turn Simmons around?
Just so we're clear Cam can't leave if he wants. If we tender the qualifying offer, then he'll be a RFA. We have control of him if we want it.
Hart went for 1. Poeltl went for 1. OG with 1.5 yrs left has to go for at least 2 + a decent prospect. Honestly, I don't think he's worth all that. Let someone else overbid for this dude
I will say that with the Kyrie trade, then the Lakers trade and then KD moving to Phoenix this may be one of the craziest trade deadlines I've ever seen... especially after the experts were saying it could be a huge let down. In baseball and hockey I don't have a team and it's days like this that I wish I could look at the NBA as just a sports fan and not a dedicated fan of one team (our Portland Trail Blazer). Today has been crazy and I hope the next 12 and a half hours are just as crazy and against logic, I hope somehow we get in the mix in what has quickly become a much wilder Western Conference.
With things going as usual, that is - everybody just ignoring Portland... I mean, Blazers couldn't even land Vanderbilt and "Durant thread" was always a joke. With this, it seems to be good idea not to overpay. That could work at some point. Meanwhile, let's go after Royce O'Neal
Bridges and Grant are the kind of front court you want to play KD defensively in the West. You’d hope Walker and maybe a rookie forward like Jarace Walker can develop into lanky defenders to put on KD too.
