I'm telling you, Lowry to San An. Blake Griffin follows after they dump LMA.

but who's going to take the LMA dump? Could SA and LAC do a S&T LMA for Blake? give Clippers something if they think Blake is goner? Maybe LAC doesn't want to do it though if they're going full rebuild, or demand more from SA.

i can see the kings taking LMA.

I could too. Wouldn't even be shocked to see them add an asset.

they could have beat it without touching their top 5 assets.

i have to think pritchard didnt want to send him in conference or ainge played hardball and overplayed his hand.

Also, pritchard is know as a guy to hold grudges. not sure if he has one with danny or not though

When you think about George being a rental, the price makes a bit more sense. But man it's a great swing by presti.

Damn, I just looked at Oladipo's contact. That is pretty hefty.

Even if they get Hayward they don't scare me.

I think George and Butler are on another level. Cs needed a player of that caliber to take the next step... next year will be a repeat of last year... 50 plus wins and bounced by the Cavs once again. Maybe even surpassed by the Wiz or Bucks.

yup... its not a negative deal but your hard pressed to win with him as a top 2 options eating 1/5 of your cap. reminds of the monte ellis led teams. good player, worth decent money, but when you pay him as a top 2 option tough to win.

he was from indiana... im sure that helps.

i like sabonis alot. i know its a rental, but you think they would have been able to do better with how many teams were in on him

Ainge bitched about people wanting their good assets in trades....as if people are supposed to just hand over pieces without compensation.

The KG trade to Boston and the Nets trade have warped his thinking. No one is as dumb as Billy King. No one.

I hope Hayward doesn't sign there. **** them. good luck with those assets.

I think it was a fair trade tbh. Oladipo is still a good player and Sabonis just needs some time to develop.

That's two teams now that have dumped salary for good assets (Nets, Pacers). Unbelievable.

George and Butler are aggressive two way players who have worked hard to improve. A tier, alpha dog guys imo.
