NBA Trade Deadline 2018

[cd98]

Why would a team who's tanking sign a useless shooting guard who can't shoot to a 4 years/50M and a 37 year old to 3 years/48M?

Because you can't question RC and Pop because they never make mistakes. Even holding onto TP when his contract is essentially expiring and extremely valuable right now.

Lou Williams only got $8 million a year on his extension

Less than full MLE. I know he's reported as liking LA and not wanting to move after so many different teams, but that's a bad sign for things to come this summer for players

It might be a bloodbath. So little money ...

Wouldn't be surprised if Gay and Green don't opt out, there's so little money above mle that it would be a substantial risk if they aren't on a cap room team's shortlist

Of course, the Spurs might still give that loyalty money anyway.

Yup.

[BatManu20]

Lakers should trade him before another Ball is dropped on the franchise.

That patty contract is the gift that keeps on giving

[Dex]

Spurs should only make a move if it is something that helps them for the future....either shedding a ty contract like Patty's, picking up a cheap deal on a player that could contribute for a year or two, or acquiring picks.

It doesn't make much sense to sacrifice assets for a "win now" move considering that it seems incredibly unlikely there is anything out there that gets them over the hump with the Warriors.

[spursistan]

Looking at what Lou Willimas got; det Paddy contract is officially an absolute abomination ..What an egregious market misreading by PATFO..

It was an abomination before and after it.

When you trade Griffin and Paul, with what's left, that's tanking. They just need to trade Jordan to end their era of compe iveness.

When you get players like Tobias Harris or Avery Bradley that's not what i call tanking.

[TheDoctor]

That patty contract is the thief that keeps on stealing

I agree

[r0drig0lac]

and Gallinari, Deandre, Teodosic, damn, they still have Beverley (injured) and a good sf backup in Wes Johnson, their roster is more versatile than SA.

[BatManu20]

Lol Cavs. Trading their only asset after Lebron leaves for a PG who will not get them over the hump whatsoever. Dwight Howard could potentially be part of the deal as well.

Poor Kemba would be stuck in CLE all alone next year.

Still don't see how the Cavs think they are going to get this done. They are probably selling IT as an "All-Star" even though he has been a total net negative this year... ing midget can't score anymore and is the worst defensive player in the league.

Otherwise, all the Cavs can do is offer to trade the bloated contracts of TT or JR Smith for Batum's or Howard's, which pretty much is a wash and does nothing for either team.

[BatManu20]

Could be: (+ the BKN pick)

That Kyrie Irving trade keeps getting better and better.

[Dex]

Could be:

MJ said they would only trade Kemba for an All-Star, so I'd be surprised if they took that return. IT looks like a s of his former self, and JR's contract is also bloated.

MAYBE if Cleveland throws in the Brooklyn pick...but then they will be ed if Lebron bolts.

[BatManu20]

True, but that BKN pick would be included as well obviously, so MJ might consider it. Otherwise yea, it'd be a horrendous trade for the Hornets.

[BatManu20]

If I'm MJ and I actually trade Kemba to the Cavs, I'm making them take Batum's contract too. Especially if he's taking on Tristan Thompson's already horrendous deal.

Batum could actually be a somewhat useful piece for the Cavs, but RIP their cap situation if they take both Howard and Batum.

[MoSpur02]

Would anyone here trade Kawhi to Orlando for Aaron Gordon and their 1st round draft pick?

[Leetonidas]

Would anyone here trade Kawhi to Orlando for Aaron Gordon and their 1st round draft pick?

no. Anyone who would is re ed and should be banned

[BatManu20]

Woj on ESPN saying Deandre Jordan probably not going to be traded bc the Clipps would rather just keep him and let his deal expire than take on another bad contract just for the sake of a middle-to-late round draft pick.

[Chillen]

If Cavs trade Thomas somewhere Danny Ainge is laughing his ass off, this is why you never make a trade with a rival Boston is if not now an NBA le contender. They also have the pieces to get Anthony Davis. Spurs deal wasn't better than Boston but at least Irving would have been in the West. Never make a rival better.

Dan Gilbert is a moron tbh. David Griffin was about to net them Butler and George and they ended up with Jae Crowded and Isaiah Thomas . Thomas has been absolutely brutal for Cleveland. Ainge straight raw dogged the Cavs franchise

[objective]

Lou Williams will be tradable next year and should be able to get a 1st for sure, as he'll be locked up with multiple years on a cheap deal. No one wanted to give up a first this year because of his looming free agency.

If a team wants a small bench shooter next year, who is better:. The near all-star Lou with 3/24 left or the scrubby Fatty who will have 3/38 left?

: RC
