2016 NBA Trade Deadline

[Kawhitstorm]

Just ty that they gave up nothing for him. Varejao/Cunningham are irrelevant + a 2nd round pick in the 50s is nothing. Being able to turn those things into a legitimately solid role player like Frye is definitely a win.

Nobody wanted Frye's contract, they were willing to dump him like Tiago during the summer but no takers.

Makes more sense for Portland, but still, is a 2018 1st round pick worth $10+ mil?

[HarlemHeat37]

Dwight to Boston would be the worst off-court fit that I could think of, tbh..the fans would turn on him immediately..

[Kawhitstorm]

Magic are clearing ton of cap space, which I think is a good move, but not sure that they're going to lure a top-tier FA there.. Still the right move imo, just thinking out loud.

All the Magic need is a defensive minded center & Ezeli/Whiteside will be available this summer.

Center
Vuc/Gordon(small ball PF)
Hezonja/Gordon(defensive stopper)
Dipo/Fournier(if they are willing to pay him)
Payton

They could draft an offensive minded PG & they will be set.

atl needs to makes moves.

[Spurs9]

NBA tv has a trade deadline special at 1PM today, probably have some stuff go down during the show.

Source? Not that I don't believe you, just curious 'cause I haven't seen anything about that on my end. Definitely makes more sense though - no way Portland just takes on Varejao for nothing.

They were well below the cap floor this year and are way below the cap next year even with the 9.3M Andy is guaranteed.

[BatManu20]

Sounds like POR is getting a 1st and a 2nd from CLE, so that makes more sense.

So POR is getting the Cavs 1st Rounder in 2017? Cause PHX already owns their 2016 1st round pick.

[timtonymanu]

It took 12 seasons, but Varejao is now no longer a Cavalier.

[Kawhitstorm]

Great Deal for Houston. Looks like they want to get young guys to build around Harden after having a player power struggle w/ Howard.

It is also a great deal for the Piston. A pretty good Stretch PF to play along side Drummond.

The Pistons are probably going to be picking in the late teens or so in a weak draft.

Essentially that means that Portland actually just made $6-plus Million off this trade, rather than spending money. Had they stayed under the floor, they would have had to split the difference with their players. Now, Anderson's cap figure counts even though they didn't actually give him that much money.

[Chinook]

Yeah. So with that and Nelson being moved last year, it's just Kobe, Dirk, Wade, Haslem and the Big Three I believe for guys who are still with the team that first signed them more than a decade earlier.

Paul Coro @paulcoro
P.J. Tucker is among the Suns' better assets but a source said the Suns have told him that he will not be traded before today's deadline.

[spursistan]

Horford has Florida roots and said he want play in market with big Dominican/Latino community ..

Yep. Philly has played that sort of game. The Javale McGee acquisition, for example.

For this season yeah. ( though Blazers players probably dislike this trade lol ) But how about Varejao's next season salary, isn't it almost guaranteed?

Yeah, but no reason to believe that they'll come anywhere near a 92M cap.

True. A lot of teams will have problems with the salary floor next season.

Yeah, and the Granger trade the year before which brought all this to light. I really hope that gets closed in the next CBA discussions.

Hawks suddenly reversing course on blowing it up?..
