It's already started and there are so many of us out there combing different sites, accounts etc. Post whatever you can find. Dwight Howard to the Brooklyn Nets for Timofey Mozgov, this year's #45 pick, a 2021 2nd round pick and cash. https://nypost.com/2018/06/20/nets-...utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_medium=SocialFlow
Beat me to it! Interesting how far Howard has fallen, in terms of how we think of him as a basketball player.
Yeah there were signs of issues in Orlando too, but he was so athletically gifted it was overlooked. I think he rose to stardom too fast and too young. He was great in Orlando, but maybe not as great as he thought?
Dwight can be a beast but maybe not that valuable in the current iteration of the NBA? Don't recall his contract but my last impression was that his contract is bigger than he is.
Good deal for Charlotte who move further away from the luxury tax. Mozgov is worse than Howard but I doubt they care, they are garbage anyway. Good for Nets too as they create cap space for 2020.
They won't bother, they'll keep the cap space for next year. Crabbe will be their only big contract remaining then. Lin, Carroll, Howard all expire in 2019.
Suns no they draft Ayton, Mavericks Maybe draft bamba, Kings Maybe draft Bagley, i only see the hawks
Worst case scenario for Nurkic. The NBA seems to be moving away from classic centers and the year he comes up for a new deal the draft is loaded with classic centers.
The only teams that could pay Nurkic more than we are willing to match are: https://basketball.realgm.com/analy...018-Cap-Space-For-All-30-NBA-Teams-Version-20 Atlanta Indiana Lakers That is the whole list that can offer more than 18 MIL a year. And if you want to go lower and aren't comfortable with 18 then it only adds one more team. Dallas. Atl is rebuilding. Nurkic is young but doubt they have interest in a big contract when they aren't ready to win yet. Indy has Myles Turner already who is good. Lakers want bigger names. Nurkic isn't going anywhere.
It's almost like we facilitated this trade by loaning out players (Batum and Crabbe) on contracts so bad, it would screw up all future transactions for those teams.
Neil's going to pussy out again. Sometime next year you will read a headline that says "The Blazers COULD have done something big but didn't."
Batum deal will cripple Charlotte for years. Crabbe deal won’t hurt Nets because they have tons of cap space anyway. In their situation it makes sense to take a punt on players like that because they aren’t in position to attract any half decent big contract player until 2021 or so. They threw a max deal at Porter last year too and might throw a max at Gordon or Parker this year though I doubt it because they finally have the opportunity to tank.
