2017 NBA Post-Season

[Paulius]

They trade for Buckets this summer, and would have him locked up for 3 more years for 19/20/20 mill, which is pretty cheap nowadays

 

[Paulius]

Kings having #5 and #10 in this deep draft is sick

Hopefully Fox drops to them at 5

 

[Paulius]

Jesus christ Buckets getting paid as much as Dipo

Kill me smh

 

[buzzy]

Bosox, doesn't it at least make a little bit sense to negotiate again for Butler, IF you already signed Hayward?

I'd be shocked if Fox didn't drop to them
 
1. BOS -- Fultz
2. LAL -- Ball or Tatum
3. PHI -- Jackson or Ball
4. PHX -- Jackson or Tatum or Ball

 

[buzzy]

How is Fox "dropping" to 5?

 

[Paulius]

I was gonna say the same thing, but i think horfords huge contract would get in the way to get both

BUT if its possible, thats exactly what they should do

IT butler hayward [emoji102][emoji91]

To an extent, yes.
 
By signing Hayward, you do lose a lot of space to trade for Butler. While his $18.6M is nothing compared to Hayward's $30.6, Boston doesn't necessarily have the pieces to move.
 
Once officially signed, Fultz will be just a tad over $7M. AB is at $8.8M, Crowder at $6.8M, Jaylen at $4.9M and Marcus at $4.5M. So just for salary matching purposes, it'd be something like Fultz, Jaylen, and Crowder for Butler, and just thats too much in my opinion. You'd have Hayward, Isaiah, Bradley, and Horford -- would you really need to get rid of two huge bench contributors just for an upgrade of a #3 scoring option?
 
In principle I agree if you can get Hayward it makes sense to try to be really good, but at the same time due to the salary structures it makes it really challenging to add another piece like that

This lotto was rigged, but imo the most rigged one ever is not the infamous ewing to the knicks one

Its AD to new orleans

Obviously wont happen though

Glad youre slowly getting this rigged league and how everything is done for some purpose to make the league more popular and get more reviews/$$

I really wouldn't be surprised if Fox went third

 

[Paulius]

But here we are still watching


#FultzToChi

 

[Mexi]

Kyrie/cleve was also very rigged

But AD gets the edge since the nba owned the team. (Don't remember if it was sold or still league owned at the time. Point stands)

Bradley, Smart, and IT are all FAs in 2018. At least one of them will be gone, and its all about the market valuation of the players.
 
The clear worst of the 3 is Marcus, but at the same time you might be able to keep him for $10M while Bradley will command no less than $20M on the open market. With regards to value, Smart may stay.
 
 
Either way, Boston cannot reasonably get Butler and Hayward without severely gutting their bench
