Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

No idea why Ainge thought the 76ers would even consider that.
Noel is better than Smart and the number 3 pick is better than the 16 and 28 picks. The 76ers come out big time losers in that scenario.

He heard they were serial tankers. Just tryin' to help them out I guess.

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

Yea also that he wants to move up in the draft.

He should be able to. If all the reports of teams looking to trade out are true they C's have plenty of assets to get it done.

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

Per Zack Lowe

the Warriors are trawling for someone to take David Lee, with the 30th pick as a potential sweetener, per sources around the league.

The Warriors almost certainly won’t sacrifice two picks for that financial relief, per league sources.

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

Yeah. I think I'd only be ok with giving up the #2 pick.

I don't like the idea of giving up Randle and/or Clarkson as well.

A little late to the convo, but i agree entirely with what you said here. I really dont wanna give up clarkson or randle, and if either is in the deal, then id just keep the pick and draft okafor.

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

It's kinda hard to lead your team when you've gone through multiple coaches and schemes as well as dealing with constant roster turnover and playing with marginal at best, awful at worst players. This entire time he's playing Sacramento the 2nd and 3rd best players he has played with have been Rudy Gay and Darren Collison.

Is it time for a "Did the Kings Blow the Boogie Era" thread?


Oh wait, they're the Kings so with the exception of a 5-6 year run in the late 90's early 2000's they've pretty much blown every era.

I would do that trade. I don't think we can fill our need at 16 which a presence down low on the offensive and defensive end. Also we have Isaiah who was pretty good last year after we traded for him. And we can't play him at the 2 because we signed Bradley to a 4 year extension last offseason.

I'm pretty sure every Celtics fan would take that trade. It's Danny attempting a classic "trapin". Unfortunately, even the 76ers aren't dumb enough to do that.

At first I read that wrong. I thought they were packages for Cousins. Then re-read and didn't change my opinion because it was the same.

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

LMAO @ that Celtics offer.

George Karl would probably take it for Cousins. Too bad he isn't the GM or owner.

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

Sounds like Sacto wants to trade Rudy Gay too

Gotta love it up there right about now.

They fought to keep the team only for it to get worse in management.

Interesting thought.

How so?

As for this trade, if I'm LA, I'd stand pat Randle and Okafor. High reward/Low Risk right there as far as financially.

His conduct on and off the court. Especially toward his team mates which he's openly acknowledged and since corrected.....as far as I've seen anyway

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

So basically Karl wants to trade Cousins but the owner won't allow it.

Yeah, I don't see how that's going to have a positive outcome. I understand reservations in trading Cousins because he's so talented and still very young, but they need to move on. If they could get Julius Randle and then draft Okafor, that's a good place to start over. I'd pull the trigger if I'm the owner and am committed to George Karl.

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

Send em Cousins and Rudy Gay as someone said and let the theme song out of the tunnel be YOLO

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

Cousins is legit. Not going to pretend I watched the entire Kings season or anything but in the handful of games I did watch he's pretty much the only player I watched this year who could consistently command double teams. He passes well for a big, has a decent jumper for a big, he could IMO be the most impactful/dominant player in the league.

We all know that his head isn't always where he needs to be though. I'd really like to see him land in a good situation rather than another **** storm.

That said I really don't think #2, Clarkson, and Randle is too much from LAL. But then again I think Randle is overrated as a prospect, and Clarkson isn't something that's hard to replace. If Jahlil maximizes his potential completely then it might end up a bad move in the long run. But right now with him being an unknown it's not so bad, I wouldn't take any less if I was SAC.

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

reportedly Karl wants to trade Cousins for Faried and Lawson. Can't blame ownership one second here.. Karl needs to be stopped.

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

The Cavs actually have an overlooked front court dilemma.

Andy V was playing about 25 MPG before getting hurt.
Mozgov was playing 25 MPG
Thompson played 26.8 MPG
Love played 33.8 MPG

Andy got extended and is getting $10 mil per year
Mozgov getting $5 mil

If Love and Thompson both get maxed, how do they manage all of these minutes? Mozgov is a bargain at $5 mil but realistically can they keep him beyond next year? Andy is very overpaid IMO. But how could you max out Thompson and play him less than 30 MPG? Doesn't make sense to me. Someone needs to go IMO. Of course this isn't as much of an issue when Andy inevitably gets injured, but he's the most logical choice to be traded yet least likely to IMO because of his relationship with LeBron. If he does stay healthy though, why are you paying him $10 mil to play 20 MPG? I don't see how he sees the court more than that with Mozgov, Thompson, and Love in the front court.
