Apparently Giannis not to happy with the Thon trade..

He was unhappy that they fired Kidd and half the other moves they've made too. He'll get over it. Thon literally requested the trade; everyone knew it was coming lol

Re: 2018-19 Transaction Thread

Yeah the whole Maker thing has been public for a while. Shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, let alone Bucks players.

Re: 2018-19 Transaction Thread

Apparently the Raptors are one of the more active teams trying to get a deal done and after the Harris deal in Philly the heat is on. It'll be interesting if Masai pulls the trigger on something or not.

Apparently, there was question that Lowry asked for a trade which he's denied.

It begins. Raptors made a trade!

Malachi, 2022 2nd and rights to "Turkish legend" Emir Preldzic for cash.

I don't really get this move unless Raptors have another coming up. Malachi makes 1.5M and his deal is expiring. Did they even need to add on a 2nd rounder to get rid of him?

Re: 2018-19 Transaction Thread

Honestly, I feel like the Laker's hard push to land AD is tied to their concerns on whether other star players want to play alongside LeBron. I'm no so sure they are confident things will break their way in free agency this summer.

I dont buy the whole Lebron is toxic and people dont want to play with him thing he is one of the better teammates. I known people most people dont agree with me but yeah I dont buy it at all its BS. When Kobe was there people like said the same thing about him and for like the 2 years after Kobe left there where so many rumors about how the lakers are supposed to get this star or that superstar and got no body before Lebron. I think it more has to do with the way the team has been ran the last several years and teams not trusting they can bulid a team. I think it has much more to do with Jerry Buss not being there any more back when Jim took over and if Jerry Buss was still alive and building the team or Jerry west was still there or both of them things would be so different.

Presumably just lowering their luxury tax bill at the cost of a hopefully late and future 2nd round pick.

Re: 2018-19 Transaction Thread

Agree with all of this, but they don't even have anything remotely close to the type of assets that would land AD in a trade. In a great position to sign him after his "rental" if the Lakers don't get him in a trade though.

They could be in position to do much more than a rental.

They have I reluctantly say a solid coach as opposed to Luke or Marc Jackson or Tyronn Lue or whatever lame duck

They have Jerry West who has built contenders for multiple teams

They'll have mucho cap space, much more than the Lakers

A rich owner connected to tech space

Management with more experience than the Lakers

Opportunity for the star/stars to be stars not lebrons helper.... Escape goat

They're in LA too about to get a new arena soon

Players to look forward to in the present and future where the Lakers likely now have no future assets to build on if they can't patch it up with this young core


They're more dangerous than Boston to be honest

Giannis already setting up his excuses for why the Bucks aren't loyal

Been a busy day at work so I haven't had a chance to sit down and read up on everything that went down in the midnight hours.

What a friggin move by Jerry West. The stuff of legends...

• The Clippers are now out of playoff contention, allowing the Kings to rise in the standings and devaluing the 1st SAC is sending to Boston. Not by much, but it's something.
• The Clippers's own 2019 1st--which was heading to Boston but is Top 14-protected--will now not convey this year. One less asset for Boston to use in their immediate pursuit of AD, one more for the Clips to use.
• The Clippers added PHI's 2020 1st and the unprotected Miami 2021. Big assets if they choose to pursue AD in a trade.
• If they can move Gallo (Kings have been rumored to a be likely spot) they've got a ton of cap space this summer to pursue the elite FAs. He took on two expirings and got a nice, dirt cheap young player Shamet; he didn't damage their future flexibility at all.
• Improved Philly's roster, adding pressure to Ainge to act now or potentially pay more over the summer to catch up to Philly.

And all West gave up was three expirings they weren't bringing back anyway. You can't hit a trade farther out of the park. Brilliance.

As a Boston fan, I'm actually way upset about the draft pick situation that the 76ers getting Tobias. I mean, Tobias is a fine player but I'm, not sure how their bench is going to look. Also, as seen in Boston, at some point there are diminishing returns. Of course, maybe not having a bench will help with that.

I have to think that they're going all in this year because trading those picks for what could be a half year rental is a big gamble... hell, and so is maxing Harris and Butler. I fully expect this move to blow up in their face... and honestly I can't wait to see it.

Probably not but you never what happens in the lottery. Say they land a Top 5 pick...

SGA
Harrell
'19 Top 5
'20 PHI 1st
'21 Miami 1st unprotected

All I'm saying is there are more possibilities now. If NOP stands pat on preferring a ton of picks over the Lakers underwhelming young players and Boston doesn't include Tatum, things could get interesting.

Of course, you're then entering the territory of completely gutting your team but if it lands you AD & Kawhi then they may consider it.

If they hit the lottery and get a Top 3 or 4 pick maybe.. otherwise, there are just too many unknowns to trade AD for that. If Philly does what they plan on doing then their '20 pick won't be very good. Although, I would bet that the Miami will be good but you just never know, so it's hard to trade a superstar for an unknown that won't payoff for a couple of seasons, especially, when you're a struggling franchise like the Pelicans.

Re: 2018-19 Transaction Thread

I wonder what the status of the Gasol trade is..

I need at least one "we're trying" move on Kemba's behalf before I renew my season tickets next year MJ....

Re: 2018-19 Transaction Thread

I just wanna know if the C’s will be able to trade Jabari Bird at the trade deadline to open up a roster spot. I would imagine his legal trouble could make it difficult.

Re: 2018-19 Transaction Thread

Where have the Lakers moved their focus to since Magic told Demps if he doesn't accept his deal by Wednesday morning the deal is off the table for good.

Malachi Richardson to the Sixers for second pick and right to Emir Preldzic

I've always like Malachi. He's not getting any time up north.

I didn't say they would be a rental, I said they don't have the pieces to trade for him so they would have to wait and sign him once his rental season is up.

The rest about LeBron is just ****ing stupid and Davis isn't worried about it or he wouldn't have asked for a trade there to be honest.

You're thinking Davis, it could be Kawhi and Durant or Kawhi Durant and a Davis rental...

They have so many more options. Point is they're a huge threat no matter what, now and later

It's hilarious to me that people, and maybe even the Pelicans, believe that landing a top 5 pick which has a 50/50 chance of being a bust and not even staying in the league is more valuable than Lonzo (2nd pick) Ingram (2nd pick)and Kuzma (all rookie team) are all proven youth than have ruled out the possibility of being a bust...
