NBA rumours 2

24 Feb 2021 21:46:54
Celtics get-
K.P.
J. Richardson

Bulls get-
K. Walker
G. Williams

Dallas gets-
M. Smart
L. Markannen
O. Porter
2021 1st via Boston

25 Feb 2021 02:35:12
Looks like a fair trade.

Question is, is the Unicorn going to be healthier than Walker?

24 Feb 2021 20:56:25
Cleveland gets: Terry Rozier and Malik Monk

Charlotte gets: Andre Drummond

Why?

Cleveland gets a solid guard to pair with Sexland and a combo guard with potential.

Charlotte gets out of Rozier's final year, giving the reigns to LaMelo Ball and upgrades their center spot. By trading Rozier, they could have a decent amount of cap space in this upcoming free agency period.

24 Feb 2021 21:16:15
Pretty sure Cleveland has no interest in Monk and Rozier.

24 Feb 2021 21:37:49
hear is problem cavs organization are idiots. let the guy play, by letting him sit, they lose all the leverage in a trade. after stealing Prince Allen, they really messed this up. right now Rozier value is way higher than Drummond. with Allen Love Nance all play with Prince Osman at Sf. 2 deep at ever position they are starting SG away from being dangerous playoff. Get that bum on the court. I'm sick of him as front runner. Cavs management is really bad

Sexton/ Garland
Reddick/ Okoro
Prince/ Osman
Love/ Nance
Drummond/ Allen

7th 8th 9th 10th seed night mare match.

24 Feb 2021 23:36:17
Thanks for your input @shizzee. I watch almost every Cavs game and the bad outweighs the good when it comes to Drummond. I'm glad they sat him and gave all the minutes to Allen. It's the right decision moving forward.

Sixers/Pels

sixers get: Ball

Pels get: Maxey, Ferguson, sixers 2021 #1 pick

Ball, Curry, Simmons, Harris, Embiid

24 Feb 2021 18:15:39
Ball> Maxey. Ferguson is no help and Pels have plenty of picks. Another very late 1st means little. Easy pass.

24 Feb 2021 21:18:17
Actually think that Ball doesn't add that much to the 76ers anyways. Basketball is in Simmons hands and Ball is not that reliable a shooter. I guess Ball can be the backup PG off the bench.

24 Feb 2021 22:06:31
Ball isn’t worth 2 consecutive 1st round picks. Both teams pass.

24 Feb 2021 22:14:56
Ball and Simmons playing together is great in pick up game where it’s run and gun. In a half court game not so much.

24 Feb 2021 12:53:53
TOR-PHI-ORL

TOR:
-Vucevic

ORL:
-Baynes
-Green
-Curry
-Clark
-2 1sts via PHI
-1st via TOR

PHI:
-Lowry
-Clark

Raptors get a centre.
VanVleet-Powell-Anunoby-Siakam-Vucevic

Magic get 3 1sts for Vucevic, which is definitely enough, if not too much.
Curry-Green-Fournier-Gordon-Bamba

Philly gets a PG that can play on or off ball and a backup PF.

Lowry-Korkmaz-Harris-Simmons-Embiid


Sheee this is for you lol

24 Feb 2021 13:00:07
Daryl Morey would be cained in the middle of Broad Street if he traded 2 1st rd picks, Curry and Green for a 34 yr old pg who makes $30 million and will be a FA after this season. This is so bad for the sixers I don't even know where to start.

24 Feb 2021 13:52:12
Magic got last laugh and say yes.

24 Feb 2021 13:55:47
Lowry is a terrific, unselfish player that adds starpower to Harris, SImmons, and Embiid. He'd work well with the bench unit by setting up plays for players like Joe, Thybulle, Milton, and Maxey.

24 Feb 2021 14:15:55
please try to view trades from all sides involved. The sixers are supposed to give up their starting SG AND their starting SF, AND not one but two 1st round picks for an often injured, 34 yr old overpaid free agent to be pg? So the sixers now have to move Korkmaz to the starting SG? He is an ok backup, not a starter. And shuffle the entire starting line up. This weakens philly in more ways today and tomorrow then strengthens them. Lowry is a good player, but not at the cost this trade offers.

24 Feb 2021 14:19:44
Doza. c'mon man. not at the price of 2 starters on great contracts AND two #1 picks. Lowry is all those things you say, but he is also all the things I mentioned. This doesn't work for Philly.

24 Feb 2021 15:19:41
Lowry is not injury prone. Just because he's injured now doesn't mean that he gets injured a lot.
ALso, Korkmaz just wrecked us.

24 Feb 2021 15:31:32
anyway. in this trade sixers taking in $32 million and only sending out $23 million. I am not 100% sure of the salary trading rules when teams like philly are way over the cap, but i don't think this trade with the $9 million trade difference could even happen.

24 Feb 2021 15:40:37
lowry missed 15 games last year, 17 gasmes the year before that, and 22 games in 2017. And he's 34. Sixers already have one key piece in Embiid who needs days off, don't want another at a steep price.

24 Feb 2021 15:50:56
Lowry is a great fit on the Sixers so I get why everyone is trying to trade him here. However, the sixers spent the offseason surrounding Ben and Joel with shooters and it is working so they are not undoing that. Also, ik Korkmaz played well last night but he has no business being a starter lol

24 Feb 2021 17:15:59
If Lowry wants to leave Toronto this year I would think Philadelphia and the Clippers would probably be top of his list to go to, but I don't think the sixers need to be parting with all those assets to get him.
Vucevic is a very good 5, but it would be really difficult to put his salary together with FVV, Siakam and OG's extension and still have money left to fill out a competitive roster. It's not like Toronto is the first choice among players looking for minimum deals to chase a ring.
Basketball wise he's a dubious fit for the Raptors. better than what they have but far from ideal for the style Toronto plays, particularly defensively. But the salary crunch makes him pretty much not viable for the Raptors.

24 Feb 2021 21:20:28
Just because Philly is the top of Lowry's list does not mean that Lowry is the top of Philly's list. Not sold on the "fit" but would be a better perimeter defender than Curry or Green at the moment.

24 Feb 2021 11:01:19
Magic/Nuggets

Magic get Gary Harris JaMychal Green Zeke Nnaji 2021 first round pick(unprotected).via Nuggets

Nuggets get Aaron Gordon Terrance Ross Gary Clark

24 Feb 2021 12:40:12
i need to get me some magic nuggets.

24 Feb 2021 16:43:30
I like this for the Nuggets
Gordon can be a third star in that team.

24 Feb 2021 05:36:58
Any of these KP trades look good? Or have a good fit?

Pels - KP
- great fit next to Zion
Mavs - Lonzo Hayes and Reddick

Hornets - KP
Mavs - Rozier Bridges and Zeller (maybe protected 1st)

Kings - KP and Richardson
Mavs - Bagley Barnes and Bjencia

Bledsoe
Hart
Ingram
Zion
KP
- Trade Adams for SG

Ball
Graham
Hayward
Washington
KP

Fox
Hield
Richardson
KP
Holmes

24 Feb 2021 12:11:53
No they don’t look good

24 Feb 2021 12:41:07
all seem to undervalue KP.

24 Feb 2021 12:56:17
Sheee your last trades are Conley for PG and Giannis for Ariza Collin Simons and 1sts. You can at least give some reasonings to what you would add.

24 Feb 2021 13:16:25
If KP's issue is truly a lack of movement that is impacting his ability to defend, then its not really an "undervalue". The Mavs defensive numbers while KP is on the court is truly horrible.

24 Feb 2021 14:19:31
zinger only issue I'd staying healthy. knicks he would be suffering from giants disease similiar to yao. that's why they dumped him.

24 Feb 2021 14:29:04
I like it for Pels. I think we deserve it after all the ring ring posts. Lol.

24 Feb 2021 15:53:27
Last trade I posted was like 6 months ago really going into the archives NBA16. The only package the Mavs might consider is the Kings I think they’re return for the other is not good. Still think it needs a 1st tho

24 Feb 2021 16:50:52
The Pels can trow in a draft pick (or two) , Dallas need a pick, to trade Porzingis, they gave up two picks to get him

I Like Porzingis is charlotte, but i would like graham in return, if i where Dallas (Rozier+Graham+ 1rnd pick)

I'm not sure about the Kings trade. Can't they better keep him, if that's the return?

24 Feb 2021 17:39:37
King would have to alter the offer. Because of their lack of depth, they can not afford to give up the 3 players that play all the PF minutes. I get that KP will take up those minutes, but if he gets hurt or goes to the bench, the Kings have no one to bring in.

Perhaps something more in the Hield + Bagley + Parker + second rounder for KP and Richardson.

@shizzee. KP's defensive numbers have dropped SIGNIFICANTLY this year in comparison to past years. So to say his only issue is health is just being uninformed (AKA ignorant) .

23 Feb 2021 22:01:38
Dont know much about picks situation or salary but

UTA/ATL

UTA get John Collins

ATL get 2 1st round picks, Georges Niang & Juwan Morgan

We can argue that Collins might not be worth 2 1sts but Utah will be very good for years so losing those picks for a legit championship run is worth it.

Pg Conley/Harrison
Sg Mitchell/Clarkson
Sf Bogdanovic//Oneale
Pf Collins/Oneale
Ce Gobert/Favors

24 Feb 2021 03:24:24
If Atlanta took it, I think this would make Utah the clear favorites. Collins is a great fit with Gobert. The drawback might be that Utah would find it hard to keep that group together financially. But if ownership was ok with that level of luxury tax, they could be a dynasty.

24 Feb 2021 13:17:46
Not sure why Utah would be looking to change anything right now. They are on a winning streak from hell. If it is not broken, don't try to fix it.

24 Feb 2021 13:54:25
Because at some point that winning streak will come to an end and Utah will come back down to Earth (at least a bit) . And adding a 18 and 7 guy for two extended bench players clearly makes them better.

24 Feb 2021 16:53:56
People on this side are overvaluing draft picks.

I realy like this trade for Utah.

24 Feb 2021 17:44:03
Better? Perhaps. But how much better? How much "better" is Collins going to be with less touches in Utah as he is going into his RFA? 2 future first round picks (after they finally give the owed pick to Memphis) better? Not seeing that.

24 Feb 2021 20:47:45
Keep your picks and sorry ass players that you don’t want. The Hawks are straight on that trade.

23 Feb 2021 20:56:47
Wolves get Draymond Green, James Wiseman, their own pick back

Warriors get Karl Anthony-Townes

This is the basis of the deal. It works financially. Maybe they tweak it...

Wolves are a mess. They might lose their pick this year assuming they aren't lucky in the lottery. But what if they did this? Become assured they keep the pick. Add a guy like Wiseman who can grow with the pick and Edwards as a young talented core. Get Green who can either help bridge the gap and honestly needs a change of scenery... or maybe they flip him and add more? This is a serious punt.

Warriors go all in. They are currently the 8th seed and could make a push. Next year with a healthy trio of Steph, Klay, and KAT... they could be the team to beat.

Thoughts?

24 Feb 2021 05:58:58
Feels light for the Wolves. The Warriors would need to add a first or two to make it fair.
