Free Agency, Rumors, Thoughts in General 2.0

[ThunderBolt]

Or maybe this will be the 2000 NBA Trade Deadline all over again and I'll just be upset the Knicks didn't get Maurice Taylor.

For those of you that are wondering what I'm talking about: https://www.deseret.com/2000/2/25/19492812/deadline-comes-goes-with-one-measly-trade-br-knicks-deal-for-clippers-taylor-falls-through

Kabengele to the Kings being the only move before the deadline would be hysterical.

Well the thunder have already made two trades themselves so it should beat that.

Since there are enough Lowry trade threads already... Combining the rumour about Danny Green being re-routed and Tyrese Maxey and Matisse Thybulle being involved for Kyle Lowry.

Philadelphia Trades
Danny Green
Mike Scott
Tyrese Maxey
Matisse Thybulle
2021 1st Round Pick (PHI)
2021 2nd Round Pick (NYK via PHI)

Philadelphia Receives
Kyle Lowry

Toronto Trades
Kyle Lowry

Toronto Receives
Tyrese Maxey
Matisse Thybulle
Josh Green
James Johnson
2021 1st Round Pick (PHI)
2021 2nd Round Pick (NYK via PHI)
2021 2nd Round Pick (DAL)
2022 2nd Round Pick (DAL)

Dallas Trades
James Johnson
Josh Green
2021 2nd Round Pick (DAL)
2022 2nd Round Pick (DAL)

Dallas Receives
Danny Green

This seems pretty heavy a return for Lowry here to an outsider. 2019 FRP(Thybulle), two 2020 FRP's(Green and Maxey), 2021 FRP, 3 decent second rounders and an expiring Johnson contract. Also Toronto would have to open up three roster spots for such this lopsided move.

Yea this is ridiculous. Sixers aren’t trading for Harden.
Thybulle will not be in the deal.
Maxes and a frp that’s it.

Thought I'd mention that Dallas is happy to be a 3rd team for Danny Green, but it's 2 2nds, not 2 2nds and Josh Green. Toronto gouging everyone a bit on that deal.

[NYG]

Danny Green for '21 Pistons 2nd?

[NYG]

Herro, Olynyk, Iguodala and Harkless for Lowry and Powell?

Miami would use the roster spots on LaMarcus Aldridge and some other useful veteran off the buy out market.

Hartford's guy in Philly talks. Nice.

A George Hill to Philly deal is kinda weird because OKC can’t take back any of Green, Ferguson, or Poirer

Yeah it definitely makes things tougher. I'd guess it'd be something like Mike Scott to OKC, Bradley to someone like Charlotte, and Hill and maybe Muscala to the Sixers. Picks added as necessary.

Danny Green is going to Dallas. No wait, James Johnson can't go back to OKC. Danny Green is going to Miami, oh no Trevor Ariza can't go back to OKC.

Wonder if we could get Maxey by sending a future FRP (GSW pick probably won't be enough, maybe LAC 2022)

I think this would only come up as part of a bigger trade; i.e. Powell to Philly with the pick going to Toronto.

Just spitballing here, but maybe OKC gets Philly 2021 1st (currently 29) and the 76ers get pick OKC 2021 2nd (currently 40)

You'd know better being closer to Philly stuff. Ignore it, sorry everyone!

Listening to Amick's podcast that was recorded Monday late night and had some random notes: (I'm half listening so do not take as a full source, it's on the Athletic NBA Show):

IIRC said Denver really values the young guys.

Gordon's market is weird, Orlando has him assigned a lot of value and doesn't know if he's traded, seemed like it got hung up w/ Houston on him getting an extension w/ a trade.

Kings really value Bagley....like were trying to use him to get Collins.

Houston trying to really value Dipo but teams not following that.

I'm kinda half listening but those were some notes that I gathered.

I read Lowry wants to be paid 25M/y at age 35 and 36.

If I'm not wrong, here is te full list of players earning more than 15M/y at that age:

1. LBJ
2. Chris Paul
3. Al Horford (future cut )
4. LMA expiring (soon to be cut...i'm joking )

I don't think the sixers are going to make the same mistake 2 times in 3 years.

But yeah, if a writer won’t put their actual full name on their Twitter, they’re pretty much guaranteed to be a dung beetle just rolling poop everywhere and seeing where they can leave traces.
