I think the answer is simple - we're not.

Brandon Knight is going to be playing basketball for the Phoenix Suns throughout the entirety of his contract.

It's really not that bad. Most teams have a terrible contract right now because no one knew how to deal with the cap blowing up. Brandon is ours. I'd much rather have BKnight than Miles Plumlee/Ian Mahimi/etc. at their respective salaries.

I really think it's just time we make this guy feel comfortable in the Valley. Embrace being our sixth man Brandon - learn from LB.

Good, keep them sweating until the last minute and fleece them.

I don't believe this guy because the Raps trading for Tyson makes no sense. They're going to have to pay Lowry and Ibaka a ton of money, so they need to shed salary not take in a fairly big contract.

Wouldn't be that hard for them to throw Carroll at us for Chandler if they're also getting PJ back.

Carroll, Sully, Poeltl/Bebe, 1st rounder
for
Chandler, Tucker

Maybe they want to get rid of JV in the process. If I remember correctly, they hardly utilize him in the 4th quarter because of his defensive deficiencies, so they could be looking for a more defensive closeout group to finish games.

The Noel pick is top 18 protected? No way it could convey this year if it is Dallas' own pick. :crazy:

Don't you put that evil on me Ricky Bobby.... Knight will not be here forever!!!!

Any trades involving us won't go down until the final 15 minutes. It's a McAuction. That's the McDonough way.

thank you

I haven't gone there yet, but the most active trade board mod is a big sixers fan who was always talking about how much they could/would get for Noel, so I'm sure there are some interesting discussions over there.

I'm' sure it's only top 10-12 protected for next year. The Mavs have cap room this summer. They could spend it very wisely if they wait to resign Noel to his likely 20mil contract.

Is there a +100 button?

King4Day · Post #1660 » by **King4Day** » Thu Feb 23, 2017 5:51 pm

I think Philly wants to ensure they get a high pick in this draft. Seems they waited a year too long to trade Noel though.
