Lol at: "Proposed trade could look like this" == I just made this up, what you guys think?

[karkinos]

doesn't work in espn's trade machine
but i have to say just peripherally it's not a bad idea *shrug*. just curious as to who the bulls want to trade up for?

Ball + 4 for Zach Lavine ? Tf thats a massive overpay

This should be obvious... but the reason the Lakers (and possibly other teams) value Kuzma over Ingram is simple:

Kuzma is still under contract for 2 more years at roughly 2 million in 19-20 and 3.5 million in 20-21.

Ingram has one year left on his deal at 7.2 million

(at least according to bbref)

I'm waiting for the Woj/Shams: "Pelicans trade Anthony Davis to Lakers in 3 team deal" headline.

Kuzma is still under contract for 2 more years at roughly 2 million in 19-20 and 3.5 million in 20-21.

Ingram has one year left on his deal at 7.2 million

(at least according to bbref)

It doesn’t matter though because the Lakers are going to blow all their cap space if they get Davis. They can go above the cap to resign Ingram. It’s just a negotiating tactic. Pelicans must be scared off by Ingram’s blood clot issue.

Even more importantly, Kuzma is not dealing with a potentially career threatening condition.

See, I think the Lakers really want to dump Ingram's contract and use that money for something else. I think they see Kuzma as super cheap scoring that leaves them money to sign other guys

I'm trying to get a handle on the Celtics situation. If Kyrie really is gonna leave, then what do the Celtics do? Will they keep Al Horford? I am assuming he opts in for his last year. He should go for a longer contract for less money. Instead, go for AD and build around him and ? Celtics would need to get a PG. If Kyrie leaves, then it appears the Celtics are a hot mess.

we're a hot mess with Kyrie, if he gone we good.

That's an interesting take, but I'm not buying it. I think with KD's injury, AD and Kyrie are the combo stars to go after. One or both may require trades (Kyrie if he agrees to S&T). I would think this is what Ainge is going for since Kyrie opted out. He is going for the combo package. If Kyrie is gone, then it could be Kemba but he's more likely to stay for the supermax.

Ball + 4 for Zach Lavine ? Tf thats a massive overpay

That isn't the proposed deal though:
4+Ball for Zach+7

[NatiboyB]

So i guess im the only one who thinks this is a massive overpay.

guys, the source is scoop B

the B stands for bullsh*t

dude literally just makes **** up

[Begley] Some within the Knicks organization want Kevin Durant despite the ruptured Achilles injury. The Knicks remain unwilling to part with all of their assets for Anthony Davis, scared off by the Carmelo Anthony trade

And this is why the Knicks are a joke and apparently are going to remain a joke. FFS

Watch the team bashing.

[spikeslovechild]

If Kuzma is the preferred asset that just shows how little they value Ingram and Ball.

Hard to see any trade go down with Kuzma as the frontliner. David should continue to hold out. They need to offer more and the Knicks need to get involved to have anychance at Kyrie and KD

Never say never. Technically we could still sign Harris and Butler even after trading for AD. I mean we wouldn't but we could lol.

Smith Simmons and Simmons.

[BallSacBounce]

Ball for AD straight up.
