Dame is worth 3 frp on his own. If we are taking on Simmons contract too, we need to be compensated by BK with another frp, Finney smith, or both.
I was listening to Howard Beck on the Nets Locked On podcast and they were talking about how Brooklyn has to be really careful because they have Simmons making a ton of cash for 2 more years, they have Bridges, they have Johnson starting his new contract, and then they have Claxton as a free agent next year. And that's assuming they don't take on Herro.
well, they'd save 21M over the next 2 years in a Herro for Simmons exchange, so they'd probably be happy about that maybe if Portland took back Simmons AND DFS they'd send Portland an extra 1st, but I sure don't like that long term salary. That would also be Portland taking back more salary than they are sending out with Dame; that's bad IMO but I still can't see the Blazers being able to offload Nurk in a PDX/MIA/BKN deal
I don’t want Nurks laziness rubbing off on the new players, send him with a couple 2nds somewhere. SA?
https://www.espn.com/nba/news/story?id=2912075 The proposed trade that would have sent Kevin Garnett to Boston, agreed to in principle by ex-teammates Kevin McHale and Danny Ainge, was taken off the table Thursday after Garnett got word to the Celtics that he doesn't want to play for them. Garnett, according to sources close to the situation, is hoping for a trade to the Phoenix Suns if he has to leave the only team he has ever played for. Kevin Garnett Forward Minnesota Timberwolves Profile "The Boston trade isn't happening," Garnett's agent, Andy Miller, told ESPN.com's Chris Sheridan. "If a trade were to happen, that's not a destination that we're interested in pursuing." Suns general manager Steve Kerr told the Arizona Republic that he has been talking with the Wolves about acquiring Garnett, but said it would be "tough" to pull off. It appears that Wolves management -- McHale and owner Glen Taylor -- is prepared for the first time to make a deal that would end the Garnett Era in Minneapolis after 12 seasons. Taylor, according to Wolves sources, has informed Garnett directly of that change in philosophy.
Here's the deal. Brooklyn cuts a shit ton of long term salary so they can pay guys and gets rid of headaches. We get a shit ton of picks and have the potential ability to flip Simmons, Grant, and DFS at the trade deadline if any of them are playing well. OKC is rumored to want Caleb, unclear if they'd be willing to give up the two picks but they can't use all of those and the Clippers one probably won't be very good. Fuck Miami but they get Dame.
agreed. for me, it's all about Claxton. Scoot/Sharpe/Simmons/Grant/Claxton If, and that a big IF, Simmons regains his form, we're challenging for home court.
Claxton has real value, always figured him to be a long shot if they took Herro. At this point I'd be fine with Jovic + JJ or different young player + picks. If we add Nurk it will definitely tank our return. This could be a career defining moment for Cronin so I hope he has the stones for this. My guess given the things coming outa the Lillard camp is things get ugly soon. Just wonder how long this will drag out...
I hear you. Playing devil's advocate, we've seen an engaged Nurk be good Nurk. I have a strong feeling that with Scoot and the rest of our young core, there will be 10x more "player movement-ball movement," and a much more involved Nurk. At least I hope that's the case, whether Nurk is on the team or not.
Nurk is our only big guy of consequence, and he makes less than $20m a year. There's very little reason to trade him and no reason to give up value to get rid of him.
I’m sure you can find all sorts of stuff on the internet. there is zero indication the heat are offering what many are throwing around. I’ll believe it when I see it—Goodwin is going scorched earth because his client list is aging out and Miami is shrugging and going along with it. if Miami finds a third or fourth team for herro, unlocks their third OKC pick, puts Martin in play for a return and sends us both of their J-men, I’ll come back here and pat you on the back. It’s not happening—they think they can fleece and they have Aaron Goodwin running around flinging dirt for them, this thing is going to (hopefully) drag out.
Why???? Nurk w/o Dame is a very good center. Like this game vs Boston. No Dame. Nurk gets 29 points and 17 rebounds. The Ball Is Moving. Blazers playing Happy.
