NBA Trade Deadline: 2020-21 Season

[exstatic]

If the reach an agreement with Cleveland in the sense of them paying sort of max to DDR and buying out LMA (so everybody is happy, ��) contract, a possible trade could be
LMA and DDR for Love, Drummond and their unprotected 2 pick 2021...

Love and Drummond together cons ute a barrel of radioactive roster death. I would throw up in my mouth just getting Love, but would tolerate it if their unprotected pick for this year came with it. no, under any condition, to Drummond.

Lauri Markkanen anyone? Bulls may not want to pay him. Cost is precious future draft picks.

PF who can't guard the perimeter are being forced to play center nowadays. The transition for him has already began, you would see his value deteriorate from here on out.

Which is why CHI is interested in moving him.

[ragas]

My deadline-wishlist: Trade LMA (Rudy, Patty) and somehow add picks for drafting Kai Jones.

He's a C for me.

Cleveland wanted to get a return on Love, but his calf injury this season has screwed his value to the league. Now they would have to pay just to get rid of his contract. Cleveland has multiple 2nd rd picks from 2023-27 but that's window dressing. The price is the Cavs 2021 1st rd pick, UNPROTECTED. They want to resign Allen, Sexton is entering his extension window, and Drummond's salary coming off their books isn't going to cut it alone. However, you drop Drummond and Love, you could sign those two players and potentially make a run at John Collins in Free Agency.

Right now the Cavs are #5 in Tankathon draft standings. With the lottery odds, the pick could drop between 6-9. But, the pick could also be in the top 3, even 1. If two years of Love's contract is the door to walk through to get a Cunningham, Mobley, Green, or Kuminga or a major return for the draft rights to said players, you have to look into that kind of deal!!

Absolutely. I don’t think the front office has the guts to do it, though.

That’s the issue for me. The pick could be as high as 1, but could be back half of the lottery. I guarantee you they’ll try to top 3 protect it. If that’s the case, they can pay another first or throw in a pick swap to dump Love.

By taking on Love, you’re also effectively ceding Demar - he’s not resigning with a team that’s taking on dead weight. And I don’t see them trading him now. Now if they were to have for sale signs on all of the vets, and maximize the Spurs’ draft capital in the process, that gets more interesting.

Hmm, can the salaries still work without Meyers?

[The Truth #6]

Interesting. I have to wonder if this takes Miami definitely off a potential trade partner list.

[NASpurs]

Hmm, can the salaries still work without Meyers?

I thought the trade with Miami was Iggy, Bradley and Harkless

[Leetonidas]

If they added Ariza, it might because they are going to part with Iggy or Harkless

[Seventyniner]

Hmm, can the salaries still work without Meyers?

Ariza extends his record to 11! Another draft pick for OC too . Probably just a 2nd. I can't imagine Leonard not being cut, and I doubt any team will pick him up.

[Degoat]

Marc stein just tweeted the heat want LMA as a buyout

[duncan2150]

Yes with Iggy, Bradley plus Harkless or Silva that works.

[Rocalcio]

Every team would want him as a buyout, but I hope there is no way that will happen. If teams want him they agree to a trade.

[cd98]

IF LMA is a buyout, I'd put my money on him going to Portland or LA, not Miami. That's far from home and he has better odds winning a le with the Lakers.

[cd98]

I don't know, but it means they don't need Rudy Gay.

[cd98]

Also, is it me or is OKC the only NBA city where Meyers could still have a job?

All facts!! I would do that deal in a heartbeat.

They should draft Kai Jones.

I would expect them to negotiate a buyout with Drummond; I can't see them wanting him back for the money he'd want...So I wouldn't worry about it. Not that the proposed deal will happen. Cleveland plans on keeping that pick.

Then they’re stuck with both players.

[Ditty]

My money is on Aldridge getting bought out at this point.

since Spurs has 0 reasons to do this, it’s probably what they’ll do.

[exstatic]

My money is on Aldridge getting bought out at this point.

I think that will be the ultimate result, but some team, GS,SAC, OKC, is going to want to crawl out from under some contract years. My prediction is a trade, then a buyout.
