If Ace drops I say we leverage the fact that we can trade with Brooklyn to get a free pick from Washington. We still get likely the same guy we would have picked at 5.
Dont want to actually deal with Brooklyn since I want Fears or Tre in that instance (assuming VJ is gone).
There is a chance...
To be fair, Minny package is centered around Rudy who is also out of his prime. They wanna keep Reid and probably have to pay him at least low end starter money so better make him a starter.
I agree about KD and have always found his player-GMing more obnoxious than that of Lebron or some other...
Well KD tries to will himself to Spurs who apparently havent even made an offer. Minnesota apparently has the best bid but KD refuses to go there. Houston is lowballing Suns thinking they have leverage when KD doesnt prefer them and apparently Heat are just too poor.
Thats the situation in a...
By what logic? Trae Young is pretty much one man wrecking crew on offense, and its not like he has had some great group on that end to support him since he arrived in the league.
I dont think Brice belongs in that lineup since you already have a glaring weakness on defense with Trae, but other...
If this turns out to be Svi Michailuk or smth then get a posse rolling and find that guy (BYO pitchforks).
If he teases by saying "not Clarkson" it must be someone who isnt a complete nobody.
I didnt watch Magic a lot last year. Is KCP really that cooked?
Its weird that a dude who has been a starter and key role player for two different championship teams in the past 5 years is suddenly toxic at 22M per year with such a short deal.
People gotta remember that trade return is more than just a representation of a players value.
Its a combination of that plus circumstances plus GM smarts/stupidity. In terms of circumstances the market situation (supply and demand of that players skillset) is what matters the most.
There has been a lot of reporting that this offseason is gonna be crazy, and since there was zero smoke around Bane (afaik) it seems Magic wanted to jump the queue on the markets and do this deal without a bidding war. Cant drive a hard bargain if you arent willing to let competition in on the deal.
I hope its gonna end up being Key or Collier since that would give us a real one.... but I cannot bet against Cody since he set this up so perfectly last year.
I thought Tony proclaimed that basically everyone is for sale but the price tag on Lauri and Walker remains high.
In that case Walker should cost the same or more than whatever pick gets you Maluach just for being NBA-proof elite rim protector and rebounder.
I would be very happy getting him.. but I think he is the most likely of the 3 to be gone by then.
Fits in Philly and Charlotte, albeit I dont think either of those two would plan on maximizing him as an on-ball player.
