More likely it's a shump SnT, Gordon, boat load of future picks.

OKC isn't going to take back Paul, might as well keep Russ if that's the case. Younger, cheaper, better, career Thunder player.

Celtics rumored to want Capela. I would look for a 3 team OKC/Hou/Bos

I’d say OKC won’t accept any deal that has them taking on large long term salary, at least not as large or as old as Paul. I could see them taking a freshly extended young player like Winslow.

Taking on Paul serves no purpose for the Thunder- doesn’t help their financials or add young assets- their 2 goals.

They seem to want immediate cap relief, which I don’t think they can get from any of the current suitors without third team involvement. Hence why this is taking so long despite the apparent obviousness of where Russ will land.

From Boston's perspective, I think that's too much. I don't really have any interest in Schroder either.

They're still using last years' salary for Wall. Sportrac and a calculator.

ESPN hasn't updated their data, obviously. That's still using John Wall's salary from last year; his 2019-20 salary is over $37M. It's close to Westbrook's 1 for 1, but adding Beal's max salary to one side and Patterson's sub-MLE deal to the other means it doesn't work.

The trade Machine hasn't been updated yet. They are still using walls old cap figure. His be deal started with the start of the new league year, which is 38 mill. There for , no it does not work and no we are not trading Beal. Until he asks and so far he's told every one he wants to be here in town.

OKC isn’t getting Bam.


I don't think he's being asked for, unless it's just leverage ploy. But I think both teams are aware he's not getting included.

I feel any deal would start adebayo and winslow given the lack of first and second round pick miami has there has to be some backups out there greg monroe, bender,nene, Chandler, old man johnson or trade for feliciano or maker, labissere

Feels like Boston would try to flip Smart for Capela. Smart is a perfect long term fit next to SGA.

I'd love to get my hands on Smart, I was under the impression Boston wasn't willing to part with him.

Do you think Danny would trade Brown? Is he going to try to demand a max contract?

I don’t think it’s likely we move Smart either, big part of why I have no interest in Schroeder. But it’s Danny, so you never know.

I cant think of any realistic way that they’d be involved in a 3 way with OKC for Capela and OKC didnt demand Smart. He’s an easy guy to sell the fanbase on given his fit and OK ties

I think he holds onto Brown
