Having 4 Max players sounds very reasonable

It is if you're winning championships

So according to twitter we are also talking about Evan... If Denver and ORL dont make a trade it will be so disappointing xD

No way is the same, Siakam would be a level above

But if you’re going that far, wouldn’t you take that next step for the far better player ?

Sure, but at what price? Though doubt he'd be available, fine or no fine

I am doubtful the Nuggets would actually do this and would probably try to add Otto Porter Jr instead if he is bought out, but... I think this trade would be decent. Milsap, Harris and Bol to the Bulls for Porter Jr and Garrett Temple. Nuggets get a good fit and get out of the last year of Harris's contract for the price of Bol. Temple adds a little bit of veteran depth. The Bulls probably buy out Milsap and use Gary as veteran leadership for the next year.

Seems that Denver FO is more focused today to find a new guard starter instead of Barton than a new guard starter instead of Harris.

4 max guys on the 25% max deals is still less than 3 on the 35% max like a lot of teams have done over the years.

While Siakam is overpaid, I personally think he is a considerably better player than Gordon.

To me the price that is being reported for Gordon is the same price as a low level all star. 2 1st round picks and a young player has always been the price and Gordon is not a star in my eyes.

Trace this article back and it is Mike Singer reporting that we are also looking at Barnes. I personally prefer Barnes, I think he is a better fit for us so that MPJ can be the PF. I also do not think Barnes is going to cost as much to trade for.

I would do that, but I think the front office is trying to get an upgrade at SF and SG.

I would love to acquire Barnes but I'm not sure we have players they want. Barton + Hampton + Bol works for salary but would they like it?

With Fox and Haliburton, I highly doubt they have any interest in Hampton. Some reports mentioned that Kings were asking for two first round picks and a prospect to trade Barnes, I think this price is too high.

Fournier, Gordon and Barton played yesterday 36 minutes. I doubt all these trade proposals from Nuggets or Celtics were true if they were risking the deals playing heavy minutes in an useless game

It is weird there are 2 sets of rumors out there about what the Kings want to do.

1 rumor is if they trade Barnes they are blowing it up and they are looking for 1 prospect and 2 picks. I can see Barton, Millsap, Bol, with 2 1st round picks, and cash to buy out Millsap for Barnes and Bjelica making sense for both teams in that scenario.

the other rumor is that they are looking for longer term fits on their roster and still want to compete this year, which means they would want a different package. So I could see something like Barton, Green, and NNaji with a 1st for Barnes and Bjelica.

There are also rumors out there that we really want a SG and a SF, so the 2nd option allows us to trade Bol, Millsap, and a future 1st for Ball as the Pelicans reportedly want to clear room for their young guards and want a future 1st and/or good prospect for Ball.

According to The Athletic, ORL do not want Bol and are asking for Hampton (+ Barton + 2021 FRP).

This is as giving away two first round picks for Gordon, he does not worth it.

I am all for staying away from AG, his game last night didn't show well. Here's a guy who has a chance to audition for a contender and really is apothetic IMO

Well, the first time he's dealing with trade rumors, looking at down-grading from a playoff to a lottery team isn't that appealing.

Some like contending, some like minutes, some like money. Well, they probably all like all three. I should have said "Some prioritize ..."
