ATL - Trade Deadline 2/10/22

[DingleJerry]

Wow. To make a trade like that while GTJ is absolutely balling out of his mind in Toronto has to be gutwrenching for Blazer fans.

Nah, someone on here told me a couple playoffs ago that Trent absolutely sucks because he hit the side of the backboard on an open corner 3.

In serious, I thought the same if this was the precursor to a Simmons from Phi deal somehow.

If all they wanted was salary relief you wonder how and if MKE could've got involved somehow. If MKE is supposedly willing to keep and pay DDV wouldn't you rather have Powell at 17ish mil than say DDV at 10-12. Of course it's very difficult for MKE to match up salaries so I get it. Really surprised they couldn't get value of some kind for these guys.

Two pretty useful players for the Clippers. Sure Lue will get the best out of them.

[MartyConlonOnTheRun]

Hopefully that’s the first domino. These are the dog days of the nba season waiting for the trade deadline and watching more and more loads being managed.

ETA: I’m down to bring a bought out Aqua Dagger back as a third point/defensive chess piece.

Wouldn't mind Bledsoe either "break glass in case of injury" type guy. Would be kind of funny to add him to our 2022 Ring Redemption squad with Hill, Matthews, and Robin.

[Perseus1966]

someone wanted to give half of our team for Covigton...

[jakecronus8]

If LeBron is 80% of what he is now, Bronny is going to be drafted high. I don’t think he makes it out of the top 10 even if he is complete trash.

[raferfenix]

It would be very Bucks to trade Donte and bring back Bledsoe.

Then in a few years we bring back Donte.

[Jez2983]

Lebron may be trying to pump up Bronny's value, but in reality if he didn't say anything you'd think the Lakers could get him easily.

Be funny if Bronny was drafted by someone like Minny, or even better someone like the Nets. Would be hilarious to see how that would go.

Trent gets 3 times Allen's money ,i dont think he is so much better than Grayson .
And i am very suspicious with players from Miami and Toronto .

[Fresh_Prince12]

If Bledsoe gets bought out, does that make Donte more likely to be traded for a legit big?

Trent is so much better, and I like Grayson a lot.

Lebron isn't magically going to a team that drafts Bronny. He will only go to a team that satisfies all 3 conditions: 1. He is on a contender 2.He gets the max. 3. They get Bronny. Getting Bronny is the easiest part. It's not like the Pacers drafting Bronny 9th is going to get them Lebron. At most they will get a better than normal haul for the pick, but that is if they are willing to take a huge PR hit of drafting an unworthy kid and hold him hostage only based on a legend wanting to play with his kid? I just don't see it.

But then again, maybe Bronny blows up and is worthy of a 1st around pick and it makes more sense for a non-Lebron contender to snatch him early to move him later.

Unless they change the rule and he can come right out of HS it would be the 24/25 season when Bronny enters the league. LeBron would be turning 40 that December. I know he's a mutant but at that point he might be in a late career Vince Carter type role and not exactly trying to win chips as the guy. It might be LeBrons victory lap where he gets rocking chairs as gifts and **** like that.

Vivek calling in the pick for the Kings in the 1st round, book it.

My bad, thought he was a year older. Either way I don't think Bronny is going high. If LBJ is washed, no one is wasting a pick to get him. If LBJ is still a high level starter, I think Lebron will still want to be on a contender to get another ring. James has always been a have your cake and eat it to kind of guy.
ETA: To answer a question no one asked, I would rather be paying 40 year old lebron max money than 35 year old harden.

[jakecronus8]

I just think Lebron is a good dad and playing with his kid is a high priority before he hangs it up. Even if only for one year

[ReasonablySober]

Hmm.

[jakecronus8]

Why does it feel like Simmons for Harden instantly feels like lose/lose for both teams?

[FrieAaron]

Seems like it improves both to me, although with both players there's probably a chance it blows up.

[tonyreyes123]

76ers are the favorites if the get Harden. They basically get him for free since Ben was AWOL all year
