Would you trade ...

[NUMBERICA]

Still have to clear a roster spot and can only use it for a player on a one year deal I believe.

What about Naz? Both JJ and Thabo are nice trade chips.

Nevermind, just looked it up.

It's gotta be JJ, then, right? I don't think Thabo is done, and his contract is cool.

Dude, that is awesome news. We could waive JoeJ and sign Skal for a 2nd if we thought that was worth it.

You keep using the term "sign" to refer to trading for someone.

Sorry, lots of typing. I meant trade.

But Skal is not an option anyway. https://basketball.realgm.com/analysis/240416/CBA-Encyclopedia-Disabled-Player-Exception

They can use that exception to trade for a single player in the last year of his contract (no options!), sign a single free agent on a one year deal, or claim a qualifying player off waivers.

The Mavs are going to be the 3rd team to help facilitate the Cavs Kings deal. I bet the Mavs end up getting a solid asset just because they have a roster spot and cap space.

JR Smith tonight for the Cavs - 25 minutes, 0-4, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block.

In his last 10 games, he has averaged 27 minutes per game. He is shooting 34% from the field, 26% from 3, has scored 10 points twice and zero points twice. He has averaged 2apg and 2rpg. The guy gets to play with LeBron, IT and Kevin Love. He is averaging 30mpg and only scoring 7.6ppg on terrible percentages.

If anybody tries to tell me that Rodney Hood couldn't start for the Cavs in place of that bum, they are absolutely out of their mind. The Cavs would welcome Rodney with arms wide open.

Here’s my wacky LoPo:

Favors to WAS
Burks to WAS
Rubio to Orlando
Hood to Orlando

Gortat to Orlando
Porter to Utah

Vucevic to Utah
Fournier to WAS
Hezonja to WAS

 

[infection]

As a side note, I’d be curious what Orlando would want for Vucevic. Wouldn’t mind leasing him for the rest of the deal and have him off the bench and as Gobert insurance. I’d imagine you could put both he and Udoh on the fooor at the same time.

 

[NUMBERICA]

If we're trading with Orlando we're getting Fournier.

I, personally, liked my make belief, fantasy, LARPing trade of Kuzma to be pretty realistic, because, you know, it's my reality.




Hehepeepeecaca

Lopez, Zubac, Kuzma and Laker's first rounder for Gobert and Bradley.


Do it, DL. It works on ESPN draft machine so do it already.

I think I typed my tagline prematurely. Damn. Finally know that feeling though.

@Numerica sucks at reading comprehension.
