Does DLo for Keldon make sense in offseason?

Spurs could use a PG that can be off ball and Keldon seems to be in the.doghouse amongst Spurs fans.

Does DLo seem like a Spurs/Popovich type of player to you?

Would like Dallas to sign him and fire Kidd. Not that the 2 have anything to do with each other

If LaVine and Dejounte Murray are the best players dealt this off-season... where do they end up?

What do Dallas, Golden State, the Lakers, Miami and Philadelphia do as a result?

I think the Lakers are the most likely team for whichever of the two they prefer.

A little surprised that Otto Porter didn’t get bought out.

Jalen Green + How Many Picks (if one of them is 8th Overall in '24) = Mikal Bridges?
Jock Landale + How Many of Philly's picks = Dorian Finney-Smith?

I'm trying to work on on a 3-team concept that works as 2 trades...

1...

Jalen Green and picks to Brooklyn
Jock Landale to Philadelphia
Mikal Bridges to Houston

2...

Philly sends Landale and picks to Brooklyn for Dorian Finney-Smith

If bronny James can talk at all and has any kind of personality. He should take an NIL deal with WWE go down to Orlando and learn how to wrestle. Dudes good looking, 6'4 and athletic as ****. He could be a young rock.

Even though we have a ways to go in this season, what are your thoughts on Morey/76ers in FA. Both 6er fans and non fans.
I just can't think of any scenario where Morey is going into the off-season without knowing he is getting a prized scalp. He won't be just relying on cap space to get things done right? ie trading with cap space.

There is a wide-range of outcomes for Cap Space as well as possibilities which can happen in the off-season--from Joe Harris for 2nd(s) to Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.

I am excited to see how Morey navigates this situation around Embiid.

Same. I mean they're in the best possible position, I guess other than having a championship roster already signed up.
Got a coach that has been there and done it. An MVP guy, a young superstar in waiting and space to afford anything.
We could be looking at anything next season with the 6ers. But I still get the feeling there is SOMEONE, that is a done deal, otherwise would Morey have been so adamant on keeping the space.

I want to try to do a mock off-season for this off-season, but want to make sure I'm on the right track

Using this model...

https://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2282383&p=105417919&hilit=motivation+motivates#p105417919

1. Move Up/Down in the NBA Draft: I will incorporate this into my mock draft portion

2. Star requested a trade: Just looking over situations right now where a player would be considered a star... I have it as Trae Young and Kevin Durant wanting out

3. Contending team trying to get better: Every team not listed below

4. Rebuilding team trying to add assets: Hawks, Bulls, Raptors, Jazz(ish... basically if Ainge gets a good enough offer, he'll take it) and Wizards.... mayyybbeee the Nets and Trail Blazers, but I see them as mostly status quo.

5. Get value from a fill-in involved in a previous trade: This will play out as the off-season plays out

6. Save money: Trail Blazers are really the only team that will need to make a money-saving move. They could get below the tax without shaking up the core (yes, including the vets) if they do something like RWIII for Nick Richards.

7. Fill a need: These kind of trades usually play out after free agency

Cap Space Teams

Pistons $64 Million == Overpaying front-loaded deals to DeRozan and Tobias to be their forwards

Thunder $28 Million == Signing Nic Claxton then involving themselves in trades they could provide help with for a price

Magic $43 Million == Overpay front-loaded deals to Tyus Jones and Malik Monk

76ers $57 Million == Kevin Durant for Paul Reed and picks then re-sign Buddy Hield

Spurs $23 Million == Trae Young for Keldon Johnson and picks

Raptors $30 Million == Involve themselves in trades they could provide help with for a price then re-sign Immanuel Quickley

Jazz $42 Million == Extend Lauri then involving themselves in trades they could provide help with for a price

Think lakers end up paying Dlo instead of trading him for marginal upgrades.

PG13 extension with Clippers hasn't happened after Kawhi signed an extension like months ago. I think PG had that max deal(or very close) from Morey regardless. Kawhi signed less than 40% of max with only 3 years, so Clippers' offer probably even less than what they offered to Kawhi. Result is no extension yet.

If Clippers knocked up early in the playoffs I suspect there will be an extension offer for PG13 higher than what they presented like a month ago.

So what would he pay for kyrie? Dont really see a way to that.

2 business ideas for Zach..
MPJ for Lavine

Bulls gain the size they need on the wing + a younger player who could flourish at the star level outside of Jokic. Denver gets the best player to win now and in theory with fewer long-term health concerns...

Lavine for M.Bridges ST+Martin?..

They both seem to need a new start... The Hornets select a forward in the Draft and should be competitive.

Who says No?
Which one makes more sense?

Ye, why would mavs trade their 2nd best player for capspace? Think they have to aim at FAs or if a team is tearing it down. This is basicly saying anyone is available if the price is right, without specifing the price
