NBA Trade Deadline ‘18

[dez]

So much for my rushed Cleveland trade prediction..

Even though it still feels rushed.. just in a very meticulous way lol

Like the move we made for Mudiay.. just don't understand it with 2 already promising young guards ..

Thunder never made that move ..

Overall though solid trade deadline

Breaking news: the cavs trade for lebrons hairline!,

I saw Larry Nance Sr at a race track once

 

[BNC]

but hes not a top 10

Is that your opinion? Or are you asking me? Because no he’s not

The more i thibk about it the more I like that IT trade for both squads..

As long as IT embraces that off ball guard position.. Ball needs to run the offense tho

Dog, Lakers didnt want IT

Only got him bc hes expiring and cavs actually added a first rounder for a clarkson salary dump(obv cavs were desperate to move IT and get a few young guys too so dont blame them for adding the first rounder)

IT aint going to be in LA next year

And he wont embrace that roll , his agent already said he didnt like the cavs bc of Lebron ball and how he had to play off ball. IT is a bum

 

[dez]

Lakers lack a goto scorer..

that's what IT is.. really all his is.. they addressed a need... I'm not saying he shouldn't start.. which is what his agent was saying... just not at point guard.

It's a flexible move.. they have the option to bring him back alongside the 2 maxes the have..

Good move imo ..

yes that roll is hard for anyone to embrace

 

[Paulius]

Good move on Lakers part bc they moved Clarkson and got an expiring and also a first rounder

Other than that, IT Lonzo backcourt is gross

Cavs also needed a go to scorer and look what happened. Dude cant be a starter in this league if the teams defense isnt built around him like it was in Boston

And also he wont take a ridiculous paycut to stay if PG and Bron are there(to your “bring him back alongside the 2 maxes”) First bc Bron would be there and second bc he wants his money id assume

They have his bird rights don't they? I aint bosox woth the cap work but from what i understand they can offer him anything with 3+yrs bird rights .. even after theyve given out 2 maxes

 

[Paulius]

I truly doubt they’d pay the amount of money he would want just for him to be 6th man

And again, Bron wouldnt want him there id assume

but i am bosox lol
 
they got isaiah's birds because he was traded there (and traded to cleveland). teams retain a FA's birds if they keep their cap hold in the cap space. a player's cap hold iirc is 175% their previous salary, but isaiah makes so little that his cap hold is $9.4M. So if the Lakers currently have $61M in practical space, they can spend $52M and then sign IT

 

[Paulius]

We gotta stop this lol

If pg and bron are in LA , IT is gone

No way he takes little money and no way he accepts a 6th man role

 

[Paulius]

Even if they those two arent there i dont see magic wanting to spend big money on a guy like IT when they have Lonzo

 

[BNC]

you've said all you needed to say.

I'm still not sure what the purpose of your post was
