NBA Trade Deadline 2019

[NASpurs]

I know right, lakers are such a shady franchise. I would love to see them trade all their young players for Davis and then Davis gets hurt per usual

i was about to edit my post and add that part but you beat me to it. It would be hilarious to watch them squirm when he misses his usual 1/4 of the season.

Spurs should try nab mirotic while fire sale going on

read Chris Mannix's tweet, Rich Paul made a fuss at this exact moment to pressure the Pelicans to trade AD. Technically the Pels can just wait for the offseason to make a deal with the Celtics.

Woj just said Knicks gonna be super aggressive adding kristaps to any package. Man I knew it predictable NBA

With regards to BOS being out of it, I don't think so, for example, this:

with of course, several picks from BOS to NOP... (and maybe from SAS).
Obviously, SAS isn't the only team that could play the 3ed man role, but a) Kyrie has at least flirted with us before (and we had interest back), and b) there aren't that many teams with large semi-expirings like Pau...

Any way we can form a hot threesome and get sloppy seconds by trading away Pau?

Nobody wants to play here (they don't know when Pop is retiring and we hit the reset button),and nobody wants what we have to trade (they are eternally afraid that Spurs role players only fit and perform in the Spurs system)

Sometimes you trade for the player and sometimes you trade for a desirable contract. Pau fits the latter for a team wanting to get rid of a player.

LOOK UP!

In before some team that isn't the Spurs trades a bag of chips and 10 bucks for AD.

[GusT15]

Sometimes you trade for the player and sometimes you trade for a desirable contract. Pau fits the latter for a team wanting to get rid of a player.

True but that also means RC would have to wait and see all the pieces falling were they may and try to poke a supplementary trade piece by trading Pau's contract.

And this whole hypothesis starts with the Spurs trading away Gasol and i really don't see that happening.

read somewhere Boston can't do a trade? If so, this is a personal list of where AD can end up:

1. LAL, for Ingram, Kuzma, Ball, and KCP. Salaries match, we know they've been tampering for months now, and we'll be stupid to think Rich Paul didn't have a hand in this. If you noticed, Zubac's been playing audition games, nicely upping his paltry trade value.
2. POR, for McCollum, fillers, and picks. POR can take on some horrible contracts like E'Twaun Moore's.
3. BKN, for Jarrett Allen and Russell along with Carroll/Crabbe and Dudley. BKN has four picks this year if I'm not mistaken.

Davis mentioned he wants to be on a team who can contend. HOU can't offer anything palatable, OKC seems set, and not sure Jokic can coexist with Davis. Out in the East, the top four teams will probably be staying put. Someone on Twitter floated the Sixers but I'm not sure what they can offer since they just dealt for Jimmy Buckets. Miami can probably make a play with all those horrible contracts and a disgruntled Whiteside but that seems too farfetched.

Lol at that Eric Salinas dude lurking here, I won't be surprised to see my trade ideas plagiarized on Twitter.

Houston also has Harden on a DPE deal, and is handcuffed just like Boston.

[NASpurs]

LOOK UP!

LMA would throw a hissy fit if we added Kyrie to play along with DDR. Not enough touches

This is an LA power move all the way. If Davis wants to win, he's not going to NY. And my guess is LeBron is calling the shots, so he's not going to Boston. Let's be honest, LeBron was not going to be patient waiting for superstars to come. People thought the plan was Kawhi, but I think this was the plan all along in LeBron's head.

laker have room for max free agent this summer, hence all the 1 year deals. the plan all along was for brow and kiwi to join him in LA to win les

[exstatic]

He will be a laker by this offseason at latest, when Kiwi signs with them too.

Where will the re s go who said LeGOAT went to LA to retire?

They can't get both Kawhi and Davis. Either via trades, or waiting for this summer, there is only enough salary to trade, or roll off this summer, for one MAX contract. In addition, by being so cute, and signing all of those players to one year deals, EACH player holds veto rights to ANY trade, a side effect of signing a player to a flat one year contract, as opposed to maybe 2 years, with a team option for year two, like a competent GM not named Magic might do.

[BackHome]

It will probably be LA his new agent is Lebrons they went out to dinner after they played a game with each other. Pelicans are going to be just like the Spurs in that if he starts letting teams know he wil only stay with X Team they will get in return.

Houston also has Harden on a DPE deal, and is handcuffed just like Boston.

They signed Harden to that deal, didn't trade for him on the same deal. My understanding is teams cannot trade for two players already on DPE deals but can have more than one.

They could offer Capela, Gordon and Jimmy Butler's 4 picks and it'd be much better than anything Lakers could come up with.

[FireMicoHalili]

Can AD block a trade? If not he has no say

Can’t, obviously. NOP frontcourt can banish him to Toronto like Pop and RC did with Nephew. Only leverage AD has is if he throws a fit and says he won’t re-sign anywhere but a contender, severely lowering his trade value.

Exactly. LeBron is a great player, but his influence in the NBA has started to ruin this league. He's the most influential player in this league and guys wanna do what he's been doing, which is to call all the shots. He's never demanded a trade, but he's demanded coaches to be fired, players to be traded so that this and that player could come play with him.
