Ha! He’s sign him just to trade his *** again.

I think its not erratic, but quite the opposite. Its the classic grade school math logic. Just add more talent with different position labels and you always get better. F*** stuff like fit, chemistry and strategies.
Like that hasnt been tried before.
Nets (last ones to try that) are right now in the same hole that waits Suns, where they do have some picks from trading away the pieces that didnt fit... but not their own. Thus they cant tank and will only have access to bottom of the first round talent for the next 5+ years, which sucks from rebuilding perspective.

Hoopshype said teams are waiting for OKC to make some cuts because they are going to have to cut some good players. I expect the Suns will try to pick up some cheap depth there, but should the Jazz? I really like Ousmane Dieng so long as we are going for positional size and length. I know others liked TyTy Washington too but I don't know a buttload of crap about the Tyspel.

DL gonna give him a lucrative three year deal in Dallas with player options in years 2 and 3. He'll also somehow send a second round pick to OKC for releasing him.
If Embiid goes to New York and Dame goes to Miami, then I wonder where Donovan would sign when it comes time. I'd imagine NYK/Miami would be off the table if those two trades happen.
Would that make it the Lakers?

Brooklyn?

That was the rumor flying around a few weeks ago was that Brooklyn was not participating in the Dame sweepstakes cuz they saving their firepower for Don.
We have a lot of superstar trade asset stuff... but the next round of "stars" to ask out (or be thrown to market) aren't super intriguing to me. Embiid, KAT, Don, Lavine are the next up...
Still NY
Isnt Cuban still on a short leash by Luka or has that changed? I was under the impression the trade request is coming if Mavs fall short this upcoming season.
Okay, good. Now let’s trade for him next offseason.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised at all if this was the plan for both Boston and Utah. He’s worth a LOT more in return now that he’s signed that contract instead of being on a one year deal.
Plus, he got the full supermax - which is more than he would’ve gotten in Utah (I think - could be wrong on that one.) Obviously, Utah will have to outbid to get him, but sure DA likes the idea of using some of his assets to get a player like Jaylen Brown.
Please tell me you are joking. Brown is a really good player but definitely not a superstar and just signed for superstar money.
Everyone is overpaid. Right now he signed for superstar money, but every year these goalposts move and there are going to be more and more “non-superstars” getting this superstar money.
If George and Hendricks are good starters, then grabbing someone like Brown puts you in a great position to be your contending step.

Brown
Hendricks
Lauri
Walker
I wouldn't love to pay Brown that money, but it's probably fine?
Scoring numbers in the current NBA are inflated. He is also a solid defender but not a great defender. With Lauri we have another couple years to figure him out but I think his upside is higher than Brown.
