I'd be pretty okay with the Lakers trading for George and still being one of the 5 worst teams in the league anyway because that roster is ass and they traded their best young player for shit nothing.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Lopez, Randle, JC, 27/28. Fine. Do it.

Let the ZuPac era begin.

 

[Setzer]

...I'm ok with this.

But then why wasn't this a 3 team trade then with DLO to Nets, Lopez, 27 28 to Pacers, George to Lakers then?

Yeah doesn't make sense but I wouldn't mind them doing this trade. There is another rumor floating around that its Randle w/ 27 & 28. I hope they don't give up Randle. At that point I would rather wait for PG to become a FA.

Oh for fuck sake, hell no at that. Christ, to go from the Pacers having zero leverage, to the Lakers bidding against themselves.

This truly is the darkest timeline.

Pacers probably didn't want Mozgov

Mozgov would still go to the Nets tho. That part wouldn't change. :/

Larry nance will step up

 

[sf2fanatic]

Did the rockets re sign Sweet Lou? Or did he have another year left?

 

[LyleLanley]

And Clarkson?

Hell, that deal doesn't even match salaries. Lakers giving close to $40 mill salary in that trade.

Oh sorry I misread your post

Why would the Pacers want Bropez?

Pacers need young talent and good draft picks, not cap space.

 

[Cornbread78]

Lol, don't even...

We already know it's Griffen of Hayward if they will budge and come to Boston..

🤗

Emoji incoming..

Didn't see clarkson....nah. I think we need to reconcile with the fact that if your name isn't Ingram... he could be gone.

Lakers back to swinging for the fences.

Gen Z or bust.

If your name isn't Ingram and you're on the Lakers do you even have any value?

Clippers gauge interest in DeAndre Jordan trade, sources say

How would you like Shaun Livingston and an official Spalding basketball autographed by the 2017 NBA champions? Dat team USA starting 5.

Also, Reddit is vicious tonight.

I had to laugh at this, because there is some truth to it. The whole "let's trade/sign greats to get back on top" is....kind of gross.

Woj was speculating about the Dlo trade yesterday

man what the fuck

this went completely under my radar

 

[neptunes]

The way the Raps are never in any conversation makes me sad.

Didn't they swing two big trades mid-season?

Clippers offered them DJ for Chandler and the 4th pick but they were quickly turned down.

 

[Pupperbabysassy]

I just saw a picture of Kawhi Leonard without cornrows! Can anyone confirm this?

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

The way the Raps are never in any conversation makes me sad.

Do the Raptors even have the cap space to make any major moves?

They were thinking, "Wow. Brook Lopez is like a 2017 Travis Knight!".

 

[johancruijff]

wtf is this trade between the Hawks and the Bobcats...

 

[Chase17]

Ainge is sleeping at the wheel. Dwight is the missing piece.

 

[Cornbread78]

Ainge is sleeping at the wheel. Dwight is the missing piece.

While I agree Ainge is sitting on hos hands hoping to screw over another team (which isn't going to happen)

Dwight can stay down there at this point. If he could defend and play solid D still he could be worth the risk, but he's lost it and would not help anything at all and prevent them from signing another max guy without some serious contract work by Danny...

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

I have no idea how that Plumlee contract managed to get moved twice. Such an awful contract.

No idea how the Bucks moved it and no idea how the Hornets moved it again.

 

[Sanjuro]

Dwight Howard is playing for the Hornets. Wendy's 4 for $4 has more value.

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

So Celtics are seriously after Griffin? I thought they were serious about being a contender? ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

they just wanted to move up in the draft

dwight was thrown in as filler

The theory is that in an actual system, rather than Doc's whatever the hell it is he does, Blake will be Actual Good (TM).

 

[StanleyStutters]

IT doing work for Danny. We getting Blake, Hayward, and KP. Danny does it again!

 

[Mass Appeal]

That really hasn't been Blake's problems. It's more about him staying healthy during playoffs where he always seems to get injured.

Kevin O’Connor: .@stephenasmith just said Bulls wanted #3 pick from Philly for Butler, now Celtics angling for Butler then Hayward.

So what did they ask Boston for if it wasn't #3? And why would Philly want Butler, when they need a PG?

 

[Kickz]

Danny's gonna panic and overpay for Butler

 

[StanleyStutters]

So what did they ask Boston for if it wasn't #3? And why would Philly want Butler, when they need a PG?

Looks like it was the #3 pick as well.

From a CSN Chicago article

The Bulls were rebuffed on an offer to the Celtics for the third pick straight-up, but bringing the Cavaliers to the table could increase the quality of offers for Butler, who would be eligible for a deal in the $40 million range annually if he makes another All-NBA team next season.

 

[SwipeLeftHoney]

So what did they ask Boston for if it wasn't #3? And why would Philly want Butler, when they need a PG?

Because Phillies intention had they kept the 3rd pick was to sign Kyle Lowry. Now that they traded to the top spot it kills all that noise.. Trade for Butler with the 3rd overall pick and sign Kyle Lowry was their plan.

 

[Tom Penny]

Blake is better than Hayward "when healthy" that is kind of a big deal though..

 

[Servbot24]

Wait, all Bulls wanted for Butler was the 3 pick? And that was declined?? How do you not give up the 3 for Butler, he's a top 20 player! That seems like an insane deal to turn down.

I think they wanted the 3rd and other pieces to make the deal happen

Josh Jackson sent the Celtics his medical but still not going to workout got them unless he is told he would be picked. Ford says Celtics leaning towards Tatum.
