NBA Trade Deadline 2019

[GusT15]

Did the Mavs give up any draft picks?

The current report is at "likely a future first round pick".We don't know yet.

Harden is an MVP candidate,unfortunately,cause he is still a ref baiting piece of .

But Curry? Really? Leading a team with Durant,Cousins,Klay and Raymond?

Come on man,who in their right mind will vote for an MVP on this years Warriors?

unfortunately he is still a strong candidate, although it does not deserve (although I believe that regardless of what happens Harden will be the mvp)

[HarlemHeat37]

Harden? Curry?

Harden will probably win it, sadly, but the other 2 are more deserving IMO..it'll be just like Westbrook winning..

[GreekSpursfan]

Lets hope the Lakers get Kidd as their coach based on some reports so we can keep laughing at them moving forward

He is having a great year,don't get me wrong and that forces articles to recognize him in the MVP ladder but when it's actually time to vote they go with the narrative,the story.

If Harden gets Houston in the top3 while scoring like he has been,i give him a 50% chance to repeat.

If Giannis has the Bucks 1st seed in the East i give him a 50% chance.

I'll give Curry a mouthpiece to perform oral on and wish him to twist an ankle in the playoffs so the most unfairly stacked team of all time dissolves overnight.

My guess is that the spurs didn’t have enough expiring contracts to get the deal done. It’s pretty brilliant on the part of the knicks though. Trade away bad contracts plus a broken down KP, take back expiring money plus a young player on a rookie contract, have the potential to land number 1 overall in the draft and entice the pelicans with a high draft pick plus add Kanter and filler for Davis and bring Durant over in the summer. This is what I would guess their mindset is

Knicks traded for Smith, Jordan and Matthews. None of those are expiring contracts.

This made me laugh...

Smith is a rookie contract,Jordan and Matthews are expiring,UFA in the summer.

Pretty sure two of them will be bought out.

What do you mean?

You are right, I stand corrected son.

[GusT15]

Two future firsts going to NYC,Cuban must really think he will get Porzingis to commit.

[exstatic]

I actually like the trade for the Knicks. They opened up a ton of cap space and can kick the tires on Jordan. They sign KD and another max player equals a high contender in the east. I think it’s a good trade for both. Dallas really blew their load on one injury prone guy. He is the unicorn.

Why would KD sign with them? They've been a dumpster fire for the better part of 20 years. If the Spurs are the gold standard for franchise management, Dolan is the standard.

[ceperez]

Appears Mavs owe the Knicks a 1st round pick that they don't currently own.

What can the Spurs get for the Raptors pick?

Carlisle if Pop retires.

Who carees? Knicks will have Kyrie, Durant and Zion to start the 2019-20 season. That's as good a trio as any in the NBA.

Lebron showed the players they have the power not the owners. KD’s team can build the team using DMs recruiting other players in the offseason. MSG is a special place to play and he would be the man there. KD is thirsty for validation and legacy.

Wonder what the Mavs' lineup looks like the rest of the year. I'm assuming Hardaway/Luka/Barnes at SG/SF/PF but who starts at PG, Barea or Burke? And center I'm guessing it'll be Dwight Powell or Maxi Kleber (maybe Mejri/Dirk??)

Brunson/Doncic/Barnes/Kleber/Powell?

Barea is done with an achilles tear,Dirk is done with old age.THJ will start if Carlisle likes him for sure.

[TheGreatYacht]

So the Mavs won't have their next 3 first round picks? Lol sucks to suck...

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs would've probably had to offer Pau and Rudy Gay, cause those are the only big expiring contracts. Something like Pau, Gay, Forbes, Walker and Toronto Pick for Porzingis, Hardaway and Lee. Dallas offer was clearly better and I don't think that trade makes a lot of sense for the Spurs either. They could resign Gay in the offseason, but still. Hardaway and Lee are bad deals

I'd guess they waive Spalding and go with . . .

Barnes/Powell
Lee/Finney-Smith/Broekhoff
Kleber/Nowitzki/Mejri/*Porzingis
Hardaway/Harris
Doncic/Brunson/Burke/*Barea

* Out for season.

Lee and Doncic would cross match defensively.

[exstatic]

Porzingas thinks he's ready to go. It's been a year, and that was one of his points of contention with the NYK. If Dallas holds him out, it may cost them points in 2020.

[RC_Drunkford]

On another note, I think Spurs would've rather offered Poeltl instead of Walker or Murray. If you trade away Pau, Gay, Forbes and Poeltl and do some type of wink-wink deal so that Gay accepts the MLE next season, you would basically replace Forbes and Poeltl with Hardaway and Porzingis and you would have a wing defender in Courtney Lee.

Murray/White/Mills
DeRozan/Hardaway/Walker
Lee/Belinelli/Rookie SF
Gay/Bertans/Metu
LA/Porzingis/Milutinov?

damn that roster looks pretty good...Mavs still had the better package though
