When did Pop piss on his wheaties?
No team is trading a lottery pick for one year of DeRozan.
When did Pop piss on his wheaties?
It’s more likely 2 years vs 1.
Pop's beef was always with Magic, and his tampering/cheating.
If they're getting a 21/6/6 player, and shipping out Ball, and maybe another small asset (Hart?), (and keeping the #4 pick) I think the Lakers might play ball.
More than losing?
I'm not sure how much an owner, even a meddler like Sarver, actually is involved in the process, but he'd be dealing with RC. Pop would approve/disapprove, but wouldn't directly be involved in the process.
Pop is not trading Patty.
He so embarrassingly vouches for him like he’s part of the Big 3 and his “culture.” Pop would rather trade Murray or White at this point.
#6 pick is too high for Hachimura, more like 10-14
Look, it’s going to be tough to get a deal done period. Especially with the Lakers/Suns. The framework makes sense, but there are still a lot of variables and hurdles (namely, LA isnt doing anything until AFTER free agency; DeRozan isn’t good enough, even keeping their pick, to forego free agency)
Ball + Hart is about $10.7 million. DDR is $27.7 mil. It's going to take some juggling.
Just depends on what LA does in free agency. LA has a ton of cap space. If they make DeRozan the priority swapping Ball for DeRozan works easily.
Pretty sure DeRozan won't opt in to play for a lottery team,. He'll get max or close to max on the open market from a contender or an entry level playoff team looking to contend.
LA wouldn’t be a lottery team with him and Lebron. Plus, he will get max just fine whether he opts in or out so no reason to really not take 28M.
LA has cap room to absorb DD's entire contract. Not sure of PHO's situation. They probably have some room, but if not, I'd not be averse to taking on a short contract or two to make the deal work.
PHX has plenty of cap space to absorb Lonzo.
LAL doesn't want him (the article posted awhile back was hypothetical) and they aren't going to jeopardize their chances of trading away assets that could be used to trade for Davis. Three team trades are very tricky and hard to pull off. That's why you see very few of them.
They happen plenty; trades in general are hard to pull off though I agree. But that article while hypothetical was not totally rooted in nothing. Windhorst is plugged into Lebron.
Meh I just don't see the Suns and Spurs doing business together, but hey maybe I'm wrong. The Suns are definitely looking to dump Josh Jackson and TJ Warren too.
DD would be a sure thing, the proverbial bird in the hand. They've had a ty time trying to get FAs to sign there. Playing with LeBron is difficult, and then throw in the fact that they didn't even make the playoffs last year, and it's a tough sell.
They're not getting Davis. The ONLY shot they had at that was winning the lottery, and N.O. won it instead. They just flat don't have the assets to match Boston.
Sure, but that option will still be there even if they strike out. So you don’t give up the attempt at bat.
Suns need a actual PG not a smaller shooting Devin Booker.
Pop
Who says no?
Why do people keep putting Patty in trades where he has positive value?
Because of his play and contract, he legit has negative value....even in a dream world where Pop would actually part with him, we'd have to probably start with attaching the 29th pick to shed his contract ...
Opportunity Knocks!!!!
Either trade Murray or trade DeRozan
Those picks will all be made by then, and not necessarily who the Spurs would want at #6. It's asymetric. You either do it during the draft or not at all.
