    It seems the only reason to do it in June is if there are contract amounts that will change to prevent it being completed in July.

    Otherwise, all teams can leave open the possibility of adding additional pieces.

    I guess in theory the downside is the risk of a team backing out.

    Ha, yeah I like the idea of trading away and receiving back the same pick in a trade.

    It could happen now but maybe they're waiting to see if a better deal comes along before going forward with this one. Dont really see a downside in waiting, so why not

    Or it really is just the Grant extension they're waiting on (which can't be official until July 6th). I don't get why no one else is bringing up this possibility.

    I’m hoping it expands - Gordon to Philly, EBEC to Houston and Thybulle to Portland.

    MLE for Hartenstein/Bamba and suddenly our defense is at least average - which is a ginormous upgrade from the Olshey era.

    If Bledsoe goes to the Pistons, they couldn't take on Walker (unless they renounced Bagley).

    If Bledsoe goes to the Knicks, the only way it would work for their purposes is if we didn't guarantee Bledsoe's contract. To make it work that way, we'd have to use the TPE and not Bledsoe to match Grant. So we wouldn't be able to take on any additional salary since Grant uses up the whole TPE.

    What is Philly giving up to match Gordon's contract?

    Also, if we do that it would be very tough to have the Full-MLE.

    I wonder if they're just waiting to see what Detroit does with its capspace in free agency. If they strike out, they can take on the Bledsoe deal and get Cam as incentive.

    Deal 1: Grant /Duren/Kemba
    To POR:
    - Grant (20.9 mil)
    - #46 pick

    To DET:
    - Kemba (9.5 mil)
    - #13 pick
    - #36 pick
    - future seconds from POR

    To NYK:
    - 2025 Mil first

    Deal 2: Noel + Bledsoe
    To POR:
    - Noel (9.2 mil)
    - 2025 Mil first

    To DET (absorbed by capspace):
    - Bledsoe (19.2 mil)
    - Reddish (5.9 mil)

    To NYK:
    - future second? i dunno, they do all this for capspace.

    Has Philly officially completed the trade with Danny Green? If not then perhaps those could be combined.

    It's official. Even if it wasn't, the math doesn't check out.

    Then maybe they are looking at dumping Tobias Harris, opening up the full MLE, and getting Gordon as a stopgap.

    I still don't see why they give up Thybulle, he's worth more than his small contract and they need depth.

    Thybulle was a huge negative for them last year in the playoffs.

    Why couldn't the extension be official before that?

    If done now, could only be 1/$22 for the extension.

    If done in the new league year, could be 2/$45.

    Weird that it’s not done since Duran was introduced and got his pistons jersey?

    He was a consensus 5 star recruit and was a lottery pick. Who the fuck was doubting him?

    he was also a consensus top 10 pick at one point, so he’s probably referring to that.
