NBA rumours 4

27 Jan 2022 18:59:43
Celtics - Knicks - Nuggets

Celtics get Julius Randle & Monte Morris
- get a third star and a quality guard

Morris/Schroder/Pritchard
Brown/Nesmith
Tatum/Parker
Randle/Williams
Williams/Horford/Freedom

Knicks get Romeo Langford, Michael Porter Jr, 2 1st round picks Boston, 1st round pick Denver, Jamychal Green
- high risk high reward move, they get plenty of 1sts to compensate the risk they take paying Porter Jr without the assurance of him getting healthy

When healthy

Kemba/Rose/Quickley
Barrett/Burks/Langford
Fournier/Reddish
Porter Jr/Toppin/Green
Robinson/Noel

Nuggets get Marcus Smart & Josh Richardson
- traded away Porter who hasn't been healthy for a hard-nosed defenders that fits perfectly with Jokic and Murray

When healthy

Murray/Campazzo/Rivers
Smart/Hyland/Forbes
Barton/Richardson
Gordon/Green
Jokic/Nnaji/Cousins

Sorry, Julius Randle is not worth 3 1st round picks.

27 Jan 2022 20:32:10
Randle is the type of player who should fit on Boston but I don't think he would with his ego.

28 Jan 2022 12:48:08
Yeah. That’s an overpay for a Player who is trending down.

27 Jan 2022 16:24:25
And it appears that there was a lot of truth to those rumors. According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the Los Angeles Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka was ready to pull the trigger on the move to bring Buddy Hield to the Lakers. But the Lakers’ superstars LeBron James and Anthony Davis convinced Pelinka to bring in Russell Westbrook instead.

"Rob Pelinka wanted to and planned to trade for Buddy Hield but James and Davis encouraged him to go after Westbrook. "

27 Jan 2022 16:44:21
Yeah. Terrible decision.

27 Jan 2022 19:41:07
That's why you don't let players be GM's. What a disaster.

27 Jan 2022 15:57:57
76ers get James Harden

Nets get Ben Simmons, Matisse Thybulle, and a 2022 first round pick

I doubt a trade like this happens before the deadline, but I think it makes both teams better. What do you guys think of the value? Who needs more, and what do they need?

27 Jan 2022 16:57:23
because of both thybulle and simmons offensive limitations he wouldn't be what the nets are looking for in an additional asset.

27 Jan 2022 19:42:06
If this is done before the deadline, I think the Nets are getting too much. Harden is a UFA this offseason, 76ers could lose him for nothing.

27 Jan 2022 14:53:40
Cavs trade Love + Rubio

Lakers trade Westbrook.

27 Jan 2022 15:08:15
Cavs should receive a second round pick to do this, maybe two.

Love is playing good.
Westbrook would be a great addition, if he want to play behind Garland and lead that young squad, but i doubt he would take that role.

27 Jan 2022 15:22:18
Rubio is out for the year, so this makes very little sense for the Lakers.

27 Jan 2022 15:30:56
This really feels like a great way to ruin a good fun young team.

27 Jan 2022 16:58:02
cavs gm gets fired. statue is built of rob pelinka.

27 Jan 2022 16:58:21
"redemption rob"

27 Jan 2022 19:42:41
I'd rather have Kevin Love over Russell Westbrook. This is an easy no from Cleveland.

27 Jan 2022 14:16:35
Celtics/Magic/Jazz

Jazz get Terrence Ross E'Twaun Moore

Magic get Aaron Nesmith Eric Paschall 2023 second round pick.via Blazers from Celtics 2026 second round pick.via Grizzlies from Jazz 2027 second round pick.via Thunder,Rockets,Pacers or Heat from Jazz

Celtics get Joe Ingles (use Evan Fournier $17 Million TPE)

27 Jan 2022 14:31:03
Maybe I am not watching enough Jazz games but Ross+Moore>>Ingles?

27 Jan 2022 15:23:30
Ingles fits the Jazz perfectly, no way would they agree to do this.

27 Jan 2022 15:45:07
Utah says yes and Boston says no. Ingles value is very low and Utah is looking to move him for perimeter defense. Given his age, contract, and their situation, Boston would not give up Nesmith for him, nor would they take on the additional salary when they are so close to getting below the tax line.

27 Jan 2022 16:45:19
Nightcap. Ingles has value as an expiring contract.

Moore hasn't played this season and Ross isn't exactly known for his defense.

27 Jan 2022 16:59:54
ingles has value for a team that he fits well on, however to the celtics he does not have value and they're not shedding any salary that they're trying to get off of. your point makes no sense in this context carl. think again.

28 Jan 2022 13:44:16
ingles value limited to an expiring contract? . he's durable and a career 40 from the 3 and 45 from the field and a 2.5 t/ o, if this guy can still put up numbers from last year he could be a vital part to any playoff team. specifically the lakers and raptors.12 points off your bench with a team that already sports 5 players putting up 15? theraptors are only two abench players way from being serious contenders.

27 Jan 2022 13:47:44
Sac:Bamba

Indy:Bagley

orl: Lamb+ 2rnd pick Indy and 2rnd pick Sac

27 Jan 2022 14:21:58
Magic say no 🙅🏾‍♂️😡.

27 Jan 2022 16:45:54
Why would the Magic say no? Lmao. They aren't getting any better than this.

27 Jan 2022 17:25:19
cause MD thinks Bamba has value but i bet you 10 bucks he is not on the Magic roster to start next season even if he is not traded.

27 Jan 2022 11:56:31
POR/BKN/PHI

POR get Ben Simmons, Tobias Harris, Nicolas Claxton & Jevon Carter

Pg Lillard/Carter
Sg Powell/Simons
Sf Simmons/McLemore/Snell
Pf Harris
Ce Claxton/Zeller

BKN get Robert Covington & Jusuf Nurkic

Pg Irving/Mills
Sg Harden/Bembry/Thomas
Sf Durant/Brown
Pf Covington/Griffin
Ce Nurkic/Aldridge

PHI get CJ McCollum, Joe Harris, Larry Nance Jr, 1st round pick POR (I don't know what they have tbh), 2nd round pick BKN

Pg Maxey/Curry
Sg McCollum/Korkmaz
Sf Harris/Thybulle/Green
Pf Nance/Niang
Ce Embiid/Drummond

27 Jan 2022 12:43:46
I don't think the Blazers are going to add 8M plus the tax they'd be paying to the payroll. I would expect that either Nurkic or Covington getting dumped for a future pick to get under the tax line is more likely.

27 Jan 2022 17:02:29
portland takes this in a heartbeat easy no from brooklyn. philly kinda punting on this year by taking this given the injuries so idk about them.

27 Jan 2022 17:04:24
they may want more of a pure stretch 4 than nance.

27 Jan 2022 10:17:30
Magic/Raptors/Pacers

Raptors get Terrence Ross Mo Bamba Michael Carter Williams

Magic get Goran Dragic Chris Boucher Justin Holiday 2022 first round pick(Top 10 protected).via Raptors

Pacers get Malachi Flynn

Magic buyout Goran Dragic contract

Raptors can buyout or keep Michael Carter Williams

27 Jan 2022 11:39:21
You won't get a 1st for Bamba or Ross. Stop it man.

27 Jan 2022 12:46:20
And Toronto is not giving a first to dump him. Raptors hope is to get something minor back for him that doesn't add future payroll. if that isn't available by the deadline they'll buy him out.
