Trade & Free Agency Ideas & Discussion 2

-No to Cousins! He's a cancer.

-It seems bad contracts are like AIDS in the NBA now. Everyone is avoiding it all all costs (Except Magic Johnson...LOL!!!). That means that I think we have a good chance at signing Len to a reasonable deal BUT getting rid of Knight will be almost impossible.

-I hate to waste any time this year with Knight on the floor, but we may need to play him just to move him.

-Jesus Christ I hate Brandon Knight. What the hell did McDonough see in him? The eye test AND advanced stats should have told him that Knight was NOT even CLOSE to being Steph 2.0.

Wow. Cancer and AIDS with a side of hatred and Jesus Christ. Hot takes.

George says he would re-sign in Boston, San Antonio and Cleveland if Lebron commits to re-sign. From all reports if Lebron would have committed to Cleveland earlier Kyrie would be a Sun. Looks like George will get a decent package after all. And after all the Laker talk he's going to wind up in Boston or Cleveland. I know it been brought up and gone over but how many would do Bledsoe/Jackson for Kyrie?

Knicks- Bledsoe, Warren, Bender, Gordon, Houston 1st

Houston- Carmelo

Suns- porzinges, Arizona

Knicks- start over get young talent to rebuild

Houston- gets an elite scorer to create a big 3 of melo, harden, Paul, and boy will that team score some points!

Suns- give up a lot of Youth but get the PF of the future . Will Need to Go sign a pg

Pretty sure the primary reason Phil Jackson was fired was because he wanted to get rid of KP, which would be hugely unpopular for the fanbase. Dolan for once made a good decision.

Not many. But if LeBron wouldn't commit to re-signing there is no way they trade Kyrie who will be their main piece IF LeBron leaves, which is the primary reason they asked that question.

Please try not to use Cancer or Aids to describe players. As people know what you mean, many have lost close ones to such diseases and using them to describe basketball players is not appropriate.

Lol lakers

trading D'Angelo for an expiring... expecting George to be a shoe in.

I HOPE George stays out east and joins Cavs or Celtics.... East needs stars.

I dont mind him joining Kawhi Leonard... as I think Spurs are favorites to beat Warriors with their defense and system.

probably best to wait on cousins to hit free agency than try to sell him on the UK connection with Bledsoe, Booker and ulis

Nooooooo.

(I fully expect this to be the plan btw.)

Cousins can get the supermax from New Orleans but we'll see if they're able to after paying Holiday (assuming he's back). AD is approaching 25+ mil and they have three scrubs in Hill, Asik and Moore on the books for over 100mil.

Our best bet is them underachieving and missing the PS.

[Gorilla Warfare]

Ok, just gonna throw it out there. Do any one of you guys actually think that we are going to pursue any of Iggy, Blake, Hayward, George, Redick, or Millsap? I really don't.

Not me. I would have before the draft.

He can get an extra year from NO but not the super max. You can only get that from the team that drafts you or if traded on your rookie deal.

I fully expect cousins to take meetings next summer and with that dude who knows where he ends up.

Unless it was super cheap i wouldn't have any interest in trading for cousins.

I would expect a headline to pop up that Suns are interested in Blake. Perhaps he visits but if there is any truth to the rumor of him and Paul not getting along I can't see him turning down that five-year deal now that Paul is gone it is now officially his team. I also just read he may be out until December with that toe injury.

[AtheJ415]

I would actually prefer we trade Bledsoe to NO than go after Boogie. I think it was on a Lowe podcast that I heard Holiday doesn't want to stay in NO, so they probably will need a PG soon. Get a couple future firsts, Diallo, maybe Frank Jackson.

Hayward maybe but the rest we really shouldn't. Even Hayward is a borderline call due to age and us now having Warren and Jackson at the 3, so he would stunt somebody's development.

I hope not. I like all those players (except for Griffin and Redick) but I don't think they really fit our focus development

Guys why can't you spell Porzingis correctly? I've seen "Porzinges", "Porzingas", "Porzingus"... Really?

P-O-R-Z-I-N-G-I-S. Not that difficult.
