This is just stupid. Come on. Those guys are worth going into repeater tax for, obviously. Horford and hill are not.
lol...yeah if it was Dame-Lebron-AD, you trade everybody not on a rookie contract for good cheap players and lots of future picks. Then sit back and wait for the flood of decent older players willing to sign a minimum deal. Then win 2 or 3 championships in a row
Pleased to know you care more about ownership's bottom line than the team succeeding. Are you a fan of the team or the ownership? You KNOW Mark Cuban would sign off on a trade like that if his GM said it would help the team.
Well the rumor mill seems like it's going pretty quiet up to trade deadline. Not saying there won't be any but don't seems like there not going be any big names move. I think the buy outs might be bigger then the trades.
Stein is reporting that the clippers are trying to put together a package for LONZO Ball. My question is, why isn’t olshey? (I know there’s a possibility he might be, but come on, let’s be real, we all know he isn’t)
But...... why? I don't understand you guys wanting to trade for guards. We don't need guards. We need forwards. We already don't want to pay Trent what he's going to command in the offseason. Why would we want another starting caliber guard?
because Lillard is the only guy on the team that can consistently make plays for others. If you put Ball on this team not only could he run the second unit better than CJ, but you can also play Dame off the ball more. That’s worth starter type money. Actually, if I had the choice between Trent and Ball, I would choose Ball. I like Trent, but his lack of ballhandling/playmaking/rebounding caps his minutes in Portland while CJ is around. Ball could legitimately play with dame AND CJ.
That's his trajectory though. Aaron Gordon is athletic but hasn't fulfilled anything of note on the basketball court. Trent would be overpay for Gordon.
I'm pretty sure the company line is if it isn't going to put us in the finals we're not going into the repeater tax. Yeah if we were pairing LeBron or AD with Dame, I think we'd go into the repeater tax for that. Horford and Hill adding depth is hardly LeBron or AD... don't be so hyperbolic.
Yeah so I looked at it and unless there is a pretty damn good wing on the buyout market getting better at back up C and G isn't worth stripping SF down to Gary and Nas. To me it isn't. I'm cool with letting the possible upsides of Ant and Zach go for these two old ass players. I'm cool with replacing Ant and Enes/Giles with huge upgrades and contracts at guard and post. I'm just being pragmatic when I say this kills our defense at a position that is a defensive strength right now, for backups at two positions that we're already pretty solid at.
The guy is 22 if he's hearing that shit then it's got to be playing with him. The good thing is I think other GMs will know that, so it won't hurt his trade value and if he isn't traded then he'll be back to lights out after the deadline which is five and a half days from right now. At the most that effects the next two games.
