NBA Draft - Trades - Free Agents

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Still think Brooklyn is a bottom half (5-8) seed in the East next year but a dangerous team to play come playoff time if Durant is back by then.

 

[Deus Irae]

Clean sweep to disappointment maybe. Cryrie, broken Durant and Jordan. I’d be pissed if the Cs had done the same thing.

For the Nets, it's a one season write off, combined with a hope of full health for Durant. But, if it all works out, that's a title contending team in 2 years.

 

[IcyPatriot]

One sign and trade need is happening.






That's a big enough contract to make the 3 way ST with Brooklyn work.

Man that is obscene money for Rozier ... I love him as a player.
He's a good ball handler with an ultra low turnover stat ... but streaky scorer.
He's better suited to a team that already has their scorers.
Great for Ainge to pull it off ...

 

[RobertWeathers]

They'll never win anything.

That's the spirit ...

Seriously.

~$19m a year for Scary is absurd.

Yes ... if he had stayed here he would be fine ... but they have no scorers.
But good for him to cash in on his hard work - he deserves all of it.

Almost small chance of that. I would NEVER give Durant that deal coming off an achilles. For dude that has an extensive injury history and isn’t getting any younger. The history of NBA players with that injury isn’t very promising at any age.

If and thats a big if, KD is near himself and Kyrie isn’t a cancer then they are contenders. I feel the Cs in a year will be clearly above them though.

 

[borg]

Lol. People saying the Nets are back. Are they forgetting the cancer Kyrie is there for a year by himself and Durant is 32 coming off an achilles.


Lol. I swear most reporters are are dumbest people out there. Kyrie just blew up Boston and Durant isn’t even playing next year.

27 yr old Irving requires load management and has averaged 63 games over last 4 years......and has essentially quit on 2 franchises. Should have stayed in college to develop critical thinking and social skills.

DeAndre Jordan’s game belongs in the 1980s.

How long can Durant last in the NBA with no calves and that frame?

Is Brooklyn a playoff team next year with Flat Earther and a rebounder?

 

[Deus Irae]

Sources: The Boston Celtics are progressing towards a series of sign and trade deals to enable them to re-sign Al Horford, while also maintaining the full MLE.

There are still several hurdles to clear for Boston, but confidence is growing that they will be able to get to where they need to complete a S&T for Kemba Walker, while staying over the cap to re-sign Al Horford, while keeping the full MLE and staying just under the hard cap.

Gotta think the biggest issue is what the Nets are going to demand in return for this.

Nothing wrong with a money grab.

Nope. Not even close. People see names and get excited. That is not how it works, they are a high lottery team next season.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

NBA is all about handing out bad contracts. Happy that rozier can get his.

Shouldn't be much.

 

[Deus Irae]

Steve Bulpett pouring some cold water

Source close to Horford says that even after all the Celtics' cap gymnastics, he will not be winding up back in Boston.

Doesn't mean it's true, but it's certainly a cold water splash.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Shouldn't be much.

Yeah ... just no to the Memphis pick.

 

[ViperGTS]

These sign and trades for Horford coming back is immense. I bet DA said wait I think we can get Kemba. They do and boom....Horfie back. I hope, he is the glue. So same team minus Kyrie, add Horfie.

ECF. Zero doubt.

 

[Deus Irae]

Nope. Not even close. People see names and get excited. That is not how it works, they are a high lottery team next season.

Brooklyn made the playoffs last year, as the #6 seed. There's no reason, as of now, that they shouldn't make it in again next year.

 

[ViperGTS]

Yeah ... just no to the Memphis pick.

Oh hell no. That isn’t happening.
