Re: 2018-19 Transaction Thread

Not to be crazy. But the Bucks don't have much. Probably going to need a third team to even it out.


Anyway all this AD talk has already wore me out lol. I don't think it's 48 hours yet lol

lol and we may have another like 100+ hours of this.

Woj on Klay Thompson:

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN while speaking on Sportscenter,*Thompsonmight find himself on the outside looking in on Golden State’s cap plans, and could really consider joining the team his dad played for if the Warriors get cute and don’t offer him the full max right away:

“The best-case scenario for the Lakers is that they add*Anthony Davis*and then Golden State doesn’t offer*Klay Thompson*a max contract. They try to get Klay to take a little bit less than the max. And if that happens, I’m told Klay’s attention will be on the Lakers if they have*Anthony Davis.”

Woj was clear that Golden State wants to retain*Thompson, but do have a few mouths to feed between him,*Draymond Green*and*Kevin Durant’s impending free agency. Of all the*Warriors,*Thompson*has always seemed like the most comfortable in his role, but these things change, as evidenced by Woj’s report

Woj on Klay Thompson:

If something like that were to happen I wonder what the plans for filling out the rest of the roster would be.. Having a big 3 plus a weak 9 (now would be 10) was sometimes difficult to watch with that Miami squad. Now if they are able to retain Hart and Kuz since their deals are so cheap that's a different story, even more so if any of JaVale, Rondo, Lance hang around for the minimum.

But even with LeBron, Klay, Davis if the rest of the roster is very weak that might not even be enough to get to the finals in the West.

Oh I get that, but hopefully, Giannis is different and a man of his word.



Time will tell.

I admire your optimism.

Me? I always assume everyone is full of **** until proven differently, lol.

That's how I am as well... and that's what scares me about Kyrie. I know that he promised to re-sign but he told a group of kids in Cleveland that he wouldn't leave. So yeah, I'm not going to be comfortable until the ink is dry.



If LA or NY get AD, plus they have room for a third star... that's scary to me. I'm sure that's awfully tempting for other star players, especially if Golden State loses two or more of their All-Stars.

Re: 2018-19 Transaction Thread

We'll have a deeper analysis later in the week, but back-of-envelope, our CARMELO projections would have a team with LeBron, Anthony Davis, Josh Hart & 9 replacement level-players as about a 54-win team. Maybe this really is a case where it's worth gutting the roster to do it.

Maybe it would better to just stick with Lebron and AD and try to bulid a deep team around them compared to have 3 stars but very little else. I dont see Klay leaving GS though he seems to love it there and why leave that team with all the winning they have done and have like a few more years of a window when it comes to trying to win more championships.

Yeah you would have to see how the rest of there roster fills out and you really need to have a solid PG in the nba today has there are so many good/great PG today that if you dont have won you are most likely going to get out played very badly at that position. That brings up a good question who are some pretty good PG in the nba who are not paid a lot and still some what young? Yeah if they could keep Hart and Kuz that would help for sure has Hart is a solid shooter and I think Kuz can be an allstar so than you could maybe have a big 4. But yeah I dont want to get ahead of my self when we still dont have AD on lakers yet and even if we do get him we dont known what we are going to lose for him. I have heard some people say that lakers should trade both BI and Kuz, first round pick and Zubac but I think that is to darn much. If you do that you are most likely giving up a all star maybe two all stars if BI gets it together and a draft pick and another young player. AD is great but giving up a first round pick and 2 all stars and another young player sounds like to much.

Feels like a LONG shot.. I know you weren't asking me directly, but I really don't see the Warriors not giving Klay his money. He wants to stay there, he's being saying that all along.

They have a couple hundred million reasons why not to give Klay his money

OddsShark:

Updated odds for what team Anthony Davis will be on for the first game of the 2019-2020 NBA regular season (BetOnline):

Celtics +150
Raptors +300
Lakers +300
Pelicans +500

Celtics we know can't get Davis unless they trade Kyrie (or get Davis after Kyrie is gone), Lakers we know what it's likely gonna cost, but I see less way Raptors get Davis than I did for Kawhi.

They have no 1st, and best offer they can do would be something like JV,Siakam and others. A deal I wouldn't make for a rental player.

Re: 2018-19 Transaction Thread

So for the Lakers fans, which option would you prefer.

1.) Lakers keep everyone and for sure land a big fish this off-season. Kawhi, Klay, Jimmy, Kyrie, Kemba someone.

2.) They trade for AD now and use the extra money to fill out their roster with some decent players/vets but only retain a small portion of their young core.

Kyrie doesn't have to be gone, just under a new contract.
