NBA rumours 6

29 May 2020 16:55:36
Alright hear me out bc I know there's a lot of ifs and question marks on this.

Paul to the Knicks makes tons of sense. He can recreate a great culture there and either resign or go sign a minimum deal somewhere to get his ring. If they do well in these next two years, icing on the cake for the Knicks and for Paul.

Okc saw a situation with Paul George where the mutual attraction allowed him to squeeze crazy good assets back for the Thunder. I think he could do it again with the Knicks.

Knicks get Paul, Ferguson, 2020 Denver 1st

Okc gets Randle, Portis (accepting team option), Barrett

OKC gets another rising star with team control for conceivably 10 years if he gets that 5 year extension after his rookie deal. Midsession, Portis can be dealt as an expiring deal for assets or with assets for a Star. One deal that would make sense in my mind is this:

Okc gets Turner

Indy gets Portis, pick

Adams will be on the last year of his deal and struggles to remain healthy all season. Having Turner would be a huge boost and have a plan in case he walks. Indy paid Sabonis big money and will need to free up money for other guys in the next offseason.

Next, I think they target young guys to fill in those holes and have a team that can grow together for 5-8 years. I love Markkanen or Reddish. Then you factor in did they keep Gallo? Idk. But I will say those moves make sense to me. Thoughts?

You’re not getting Barrett in a Paul deal.

29 May 2020 23:51:07
Can do so much better than that for Turner.

30 May 2020 06:32:47
What if the Knicks offer you a late pick, Smith Jr and Randle for Shai Alexander so that he and Barrett will be teammates in NYK? Will you do it? Knicks are Knicks but this kind of deal is really a homer deal for OKC.

30 May 2020 17:04:12
Barrett > SGA.

29 May 2020 06:46:45
Chi:Smith Jr & 2021 first
NY: OPJ & 2021 2nd

29 May 2020 23:52:27
OPJ is not getting Chicago a lottery pick back in return.

29 May 2020 03:26:05
Blazers are at cross road about Damian. Is Portland better as a deeper team for their future vs keeping super star Lillard. For Knicks, its a no brainer, they need star power at all cost to attract other free agents. For suns this also a no brainer, no scenario is booker going to get 6 1st and barrett even ifv1st are not lotto.

Blazers get Booker Robinson Okongwu-6 Ntilikina Smithjr Diallo

Suns get Barrett Randle Ellington 2 dal 2 NY 2 blazers 1st -6 future 1st

Knicks get Lillard Trentjr Okobo 44

55 wins top 3 for 5-10 yrs deepest team in the west hayward 4yr 100mil

Blazers Roster 55 win
McCollum/Ntilikina/Smithjr
Booker/Hood/Simons
Hayward/Ariza/Little
Collins/Okongwu-6th/Diallo
Robinson/Nurkic/Carey-14

Suns 50 wins Harrell 4yr 80mil
Rubio/Lecque/Jerome
Barrett/Bridges/Ellington
Oubre/S.Bey-10/Johnson
Harrell/Randle/Saric
Ayton/Baynes/Kaminsky

Knox to sixers for 35 50
Marcus and C.Woods 4yr 80 mil
Noel & Markieff 4yr 50 mil

Lillard/Terry-35/M.Howard-50
Trentjr/Dotson/Okobo
Marcus/Bullock/Brazdeikas
Woods/Markieff/J.Smith-38
Noel/Nnaji-25/N.Richards-44

29 May 2020 05:11:59
That is horrible for the Blazers. They don't need to give a pick.

29 May 2020 09:00:52
Psiphon, the blazers 1st are late 1st. My blazer roster way better current blazer roster with depth and youth front court. Hayward booker Way better Trentjr Lilliard. Please tell me your not a blazer fan.

29 May 2020 09:03:17
Blazers are set at every position for 4 years, those late 1st bare no value to what great balance and depth they have. So disappointed in you not seeing this as good trade for blazers.

29 May 2020 13:53:01
If lillard is on the table Portland can find better deals than those. They will never trade him.

29 May 2020 14:55:30
Portland wouldn’t have cap space to sign Hayward I don’t believe. Especially with the cap likely to decrease.

And I just hate it. It locks Portland into being a worse team than they are now without much upside. Superstars win in the NBA.

If anything, I’d just take the Knicks haul. Give me 5 firsts and Barret over Booker. If they’re moving Lillard (they’re not) it’s for a full rebuild.

And one last thing. When healthy, Nurkic starts over Robinson. And it’s not that close.

29 May 2020 23:54:18
Laughing that you think that is a 50 win team in Phoenix.

30 May 2020 15:45:55
Yeah, his win expectancy is way off. That Portland team isn’t winning 55 games. Maybe 45. And that Phoenix team is winning 35.

Bagley / Labissiere (RFA) /
Gobert / Davis /Jones(RFA)/Fernando

29 May 2020 16:47:49
Jazz give up a DPOY and get three expensive below average guys. Seems stupid to me.

29 May 2020 23:59:54
So Hield, Barnes, Bagley and a lottery pick for Harris (negative value because of contract, 4yrs remaining at $35+ per year), Richardson (average player) and a second round pick?

Yea, that ain't happening. Divac tells Brand to kiss his a$$.

30 May 2020 00:48:14
Gobert can leave after next year, but yeah probably need more value going to Utah.

30 May 2020 01:56:25
Fredman you forgot DeAndre Hunter.

30 May 2020 04:38:12
Who? (Which is my point. )

30 May 2020 21:53:47
The #4 overall pick in last year's draft. C'mon now.

29 May 2020 00:16:10
NYK-OKC

NYK acquires: Chris Paul

OKC acquires: 2021 DAL 1st round pick, Bobby Portis (T.O), Wayne Ellington (exp), Dennis Smith Jr

Chris Paul's been OKC's leader and took this team to a good record in the West. He is worth atleast a late first or OKC is not trading him. His remaining salaries will be 85mil for 2 years and NY might be willing to take that to get a leader.

Then

NYK-SAS

NYK acquires: Demar Derozan

SAS acquires: 2022 top 12 protected 1st round pick, Julius Randle & Reggie Bullock

The Spurs get Lamarcus Aldridge replacement if ever they let go of him and a pick for Derozan. Although Derozan's value is declining, i think he's still worth a 1st round pick and New York will be a good fit.

NYK-ATL

NYK acquires: John Collins & Dewayne Dedmon

ATL acquires: RJ Barrett & Taj Gibson

ATL get a backcourt partner for Trae Young for the future and the Knicks get a nice young PF and a back up center who can stretch the floor

NYK keep their pick and select Deni Avdija

waive Elfrid Payton
resign sign Kent Bazemore, Dario Saric

NYK new look

Paul/Ntilikina
Derozan/Bazemore
Avdija/Knox
Collins/Saric/Brazdeikas
Robinson/Dedmon

29 May 2020 13:58:43
Why okc pay for ellington and portis. Nyk has cap space. they can decline team option for portis and ellington for 1 million cost. And okc can have trade excepcion.

28 May 2020 15:16:29
TOR-CLE-PHI

TOR:
-Drummond(opt in)
-22nd pick via 76ers

PHI:
-Lowry
-Love

CLE:
-Harris
-Horford

28 May 2020 16:39:33
Cavs won that trade raptors say no sixers not sure why?

29 May 2020 03:53:45
Lowry
Richardson
Simmons
Love
Joel
I think that’s an upgrade and better then horford and harris.

29 May 2020 05:43:39
Darry loves bad trades for his raptors.

28 May 2020 14:33:39

28 May 2020 15:14:10
LOL VanVleet staying in Toronto.

28 May 2020 21:53:14
Let's summarize, Bulls trade Porter, Kornet, Dunn (a free agent), a 2nd a possibly a late 1st (with that roster) and get Dinwiddie, Richardson and Jordan? This is a great example of a homer trade.

29 May 2020 03:37:47
My brother, you have to improve on your ideas, you keep ignoring the cba rules.

28 May 2020 06:09:09
Mavs get Thad, Felicio, Markkanen & 2020 2nd
Bulls get Seth, Powell & 2022 1st

28 May 2020 11:30:59
Mavs can't trade 2022 1st.
