If that's ACTUALLY the case, they'd be dumb as hell to not engage in trade talks with the Lakers to swap picks. Getting Morant is huge for the Davis negotiations and it gets Memphis extra value to grab their guy at #4
It just doesn't make sense to me
Kyrie's not coming back to the Celtics -- all reports fairly clearly highlight an interest in the Nets. So then now we're going to trade Tatum, Smart, and #14 for Davis? He's not going to want to stay (and has been moderately outspoken on not wanting to stay in...
The question is did New Orleans lose their primary leverage for Davis?
Kyrie's gone, so the Celtics are out of Davis talk.
And if Durant joins Brooklyn, they will probably be situated with their roster and not trade for Davis.
If Durant's in Brooklyn, Knicks are out.
So what do the Lakers...
I didn't say they were better without KD but that they could run the offense like it was in 2016, which I personally preferred. I've said since his MVP that Steph Curry is still the #1 player in the league, and he dropped 47 points last night which even furthers my point
You can't not mention...
im honestly shocked anybody would consider taking culver over RJ
I was not impressed with Culver during that Final 4 run tbh, and RJ's upside is so much better. It's hard to fully showcase yourself when the team is built around a frountcourt player.
Like CC posted above, he balled out when...
Sure they will. It's not the financial number that teams are scared of.
MLB needs to re-structure their FA format. Teams don't want to spend the $$ on the player because then they lose the 1st round draft pick too. Eliminate that policy and no way Dallas or Kimbrel are still available. I can...
When you go from facing Vucevic, Embiid, and Brook Lopez to Jordan Bell and Kevon Looney, you should be more aggressive. Those guys are backups ideally
Over the past 5 years (I didnt feel like tracking it more), Jrue Holiday has zero All Star appearances and has 1 career All-NBA voting point (meaning over a five year span, only one person thought he should make the All-NBA 3rd team).
Nobody is saying he's bad. I'd love to have Jrue on my...
So many things here that its overwhelming me.
1. Jrue is not a star player, at all. He's a good starter, ideal 3rd-4th option. You're surely not winning shit with Jrue as your "star".
2. Why the hell would Tatum (or Ingram, or whoever they get for AD) take a backseat for Jrue Holiday? The...
#17 and #27 and 3 future Nets firsts
or
#14, #20, #22, Grizzlies 1st (Top 6 protected in 2020, unprotected 2021)
Unless those futures have little/no protection, the Grizzlies pick is the only one with true value, and its still questionable.
Get the players with the most upside. That's...
you mean the plan of never getting more young talent because you're not bad enough to tank but not good enough to win a playoff series?
its the new orleans special!!
And you dont build a franchise around Jrue Holiday and MALCOLM BROGDON lol. You build around young guys with star potential.
Zion is that. Tatum likely is that. Jaylen is the next closest to that from anyone in the BKN pkg, memes aside. You dont build around Spencer Dinwiddie smh
Sean Marks gets fired if the Nets trade 5 first round picks for an expiring contract who said he wants to be in LA, lets just start with that. The KG trade set them back 5 years, and to do so for a non-guarantee is ridiculous
