Re: 2020-21 Transaction Thread

I feel like someone is going to be able to make a better offer for Tucker then the lakers own you mentioned. Like Philly they have salaries for younger type guys like Bradley/Ferguson and several 2nds in this upcoming draft. They also have Mike Scott’s expiring.

But does Philly want to trade that for PJ? I don’t feel like he’s the guy for them. I think teams like Miami or Milwaukee would be more in the hunt. Maybe even the Nets but I don’t think they can get close to matching salaries without Dinwiddie and lol @ that.

We do need a backup stretch 4, who can play small ball 5 in a pinch. Tucker does fit that bill. Scott has dealt with injuries and hasn't been consistent when he is on the court. Tucker would be good for us in a playoff series. You can't really play Dwight a lot in series where opposing team goes small and at least half of Eastern teams are likely to go small in playoffs.

We would would want a more knock down shooting stretch 4, but Tucker would fit. Sixers need a backup PG and a stretch 4 to improve that bench. I knew not having a backup PG would be an issue this year. Shake isn't a PG, he's not going to excel at creating for others. I knew not have that secondary playmaker off the bench could hurt. I don't like the rumors of the Lowry. Way too much money that would have to be matched for deal to work. I would rather have George Hill.

Lakers waive Cook, so something is coming. Likely just adding Boogie?

Something with His contract was coming up I can't remember the exact details. I want to say LA can now sign 1 or two people for the ret of the year now without going over the hard cap or something along those lines.

This is correct. Lakers only had 14 players but because of the contract situation with how they signed Trez they couldn't add a 15th player even on a minimum deal. Cook's contract wasn't fully guaranteed and waiving him actually allows them to sign two buyout players on prorated minimum deals.

I believe that is the case anyway, I'm basing that off of my memory of the news that came out at the time they signed Cook. Not sure if anything has changed since then or if I'm misremembering.

Cap implications of the Quinn Cook waiver in LAL:

Basketball2 roster spots open (must sign 1 player by 3/9)
Money bag$1.75M below the hard cap

The Lakers can sign 1 player to a rest of a season contract and 1 to a 10-Day.

Starting on 2/28, they can sign 2 players to a rest of the season.

Just hoping the Lakers are looking at guard and big options. Saw the Ariza rumors, pass on that as currently constructed.

I would however prefer them to trade Matthews and McKinnie with a 2nd rounder to the Cavs to get back McGee and open up yet another spot to add someone like Ariza if bought out.

Hoping the Lakers are at least somewhat in play for a guy like Blake or Drummond if they become available.

If they can't land another center Drummond would be a good fit. Despite his flaws they aren't going to get worse defensively starting Drummond over Gasol at this stage in his career. His ability to handle the ball a bit outside give them a good option for those Schroder and LeBron dribble handoffs and Drummond is a decent enough rim runner to be better than Gasol, or Davis favoring popping for a 3.

If they find a way to get a decent defensive guy like JaVale, Dedmon, etc then Blake makes more sense. Regardless of what the big man rotation is they will inevitably being going to Davis for heavy minutes at the 5 come playoff time. Blake doesn't help them much with Davis at the 4, fit wise he's actually awful shooting the way he is this season, but the idea of him playing the small ball minutes over Morris is intriguing. I wouldn't be shocked to see a bit of resurgence from him wherever he lands. That first year with Detroit he gave them everything, any contender would want that come playoff time even if he's half his old self.

Re: 2020-21 Transaction Thread

At this point, it’s just signing anyone and hoping for the best. And that goes for any contending team trying to sign or trade guys.

Basically low risk/medium reward

Re: 2020-21 Transaction Thread

Noah Vonleh, Iman Shumpert and Andre Roberson waived by the Nets.

2 of those 3 will be back on 10 day contracts.

Rumors again of Lowry to the 76ers.

I dont see Raptors trading him, but I could see him leaving after this year. Philly for sure will be a top destination for him though.

Green, Bradley, Milton, Scott and a 1st for Lowry I'd do. Although I'd prefer a 3 team deal, and just deal Green and Scott to some other team and Raptors get something back from that 3rd team as well.

Is that what you think the trade market is for him ? It’s kind of hard to gauge his value with his age and contract situation. Philly would be a good fit

I would do that. But, I would want that first to be a future first though. Unless he is willing to take a big paycut, it'll potentially a rental.

I'll like a Lowry-Curry-Harris-Simmons-Embiid lineup. He fits the need of a true PG, secondary playmaker, Shot Creator. He would replace Green as a veteran vocal leader. I think he is still a good enough defender.

I'm not opposed to giving up Milton, but you're making a weak bench even worse. Our bench would mainly be Maxey, Matisse, Furkan, Joe, and Howard. You would still need a backup PG and a Stretch Big after that trade. You're banking on buyout players to improve that bench. Where if you can get a George Hill and a Tucker as buyout guys, that'll complete the team.

Wouldn't be opposed to small moves. While Lowry would fill needs, I wouldn't want to deplete the bench for a near 35 year old PG who can walk in 4 months. As constructed, we need a PG and a knockdown backup Stretch Big.

I think that is what it takes to match salary outside of picks. You can't swap in another player on the Sixers and make it work financially.

I am sure philly will try to take out Shake and add in Isaiah Joe and a 2nd rounder are something like that math works.
