Re: 2020-21 Transaction Thread

I love it. The league desperately needed a shot in the arm given how blah this season has been so far. Drama, drama, drama.

That’s a lot of assets going to Houston.

If Kyrie plays, really no excuse not to win it this year. Should score 130 every night

And give up 150 every night too.

I do not like this.

@BobbyMarks42

With the trade, Houston will go under the luxury tax by $3.65M and hard cap by $9.95M.

Before the deal is consummated, Houston will need to waive a player (had 14 on the roster before the deal and now sending out 1 and taking back 3).

Welp there's always the buyout market so you never know. But yeah Joel and Giannis could be a problem.

Ben Simmons bout to come through with the triple single to show why he needed to be kept.

Re: 2020-21 Transaction Thread

They have enough talent that should be able to go on single runs that win them games with 4 guys like Kyrie, Harden, Harris, KD...

But they have far too many guys that don't play off ball and aren't exceptionally good at getting other players easy looks. The runs they have where say Kyrie and Harden are both in one of their streaky down slumps could be just as lethal in the opposite direction as their hot streaks.

Re: 2020-21 Transaction Thread

I don't understand why Houston picked up Oladipo over keeping LeVert.. Still scratching my head over that one. And if Oladipo is what they wanted why not trade Harden to Indiana for him and try to get back Turner, substantially better than Exum, Kurucs, etc.

I do wonder what this means for guys like PJ Tucker, JaVale McGee. Could be a good year for that buyout market.

Weak, how do you not demand Kyrie?

I can't find where I read it (I think it was in The Athletic and they edited the article without an editorial note), but it seems Houston didn't wanted Kyrie.

Could it be something as simply as Oladipo being on a expiring contract ?

The Cavs arent done making moves they need to get rid of a big somehow.

It could be that simple, but IMO that makes it even worse because if he bounces you basically traded Harden for a chunk of bottom 5 picks and a few swaps that you aren't ever going to actually swap.

MVP level trade value is Kurucs a wasted year of Oladipo and a handful of 25-30 picks? That's a joke lol.

Kyrie was never part of the talks from what I’ve read.

Could be that, isn't the constant drum beat that Tilman Fertitta is highly leveraged and could be in the verge of bankruptcy. Maybe trying to save a penny here, a penny there.

Re: 2020-21 Transaction Thread

For those interested:

James Harden might win a title with the Brooklyn Nets--and the value of that would be "priceless"--but his trade to New York will cost him as much as $13.6 million in new income taxes. @SportsTaxMan and I break down the numbers in a new @Sportico story: https://t.co/RDPgVuL9Yd

Re: 2020-21 Transaction Thread

Glad Sixers didn't make the move. I was starting to accept the the deal mentally lol. I don't like the long term outlook for the Nets. They will have to hit on the 2nd round picks and potential swap picks. Harden and KD will be in mid 30s and I don't see him playing deep in 30s(probably won't be there anyway). I can see them ending up in same situation they just got out of fron the Boston trade

I think Sixers can still upgrade their backup 4 spot. Still like a guy like Saric.
