Trade Thread #8: All Gordon things come to an End

[MaxwellSmart]

I really like how the entire league just bends over and does whatever LeBron wants...working like crazy to make HIS teams better...Effing Sad....Nike Cash....China.

[bisme37]

Any young tanking teams out there who want to trade us a competent veteran wing for Ojeleye and Edwards?

[return2glory]

I'm not really feeling Grant as a wing, or, honestly Semi. They can both play there. But neither are wings that are going to do typical wing things that people are saying we're short on - shot creation, penetration, etc. They are at best 3&D, stand in the corner wings.

Except neither can really shoot.

Grant was smoking in the playoffs! But, yeah, "at best'. They're really small ball 4s/5s.

Grant Williams is a player. One of those guys that you can put on the court and he will figure it out. He is going to surprise a lot of people this season and going forward.

Semi is a limited player on the other hand. He hasn’t shown much improvement in 3 years. If not for Boston, I don’t think he would still be in the league.

So if the Kings match can they immediately trade Bogdanovic or is there a waiting period?

Waht are we looking at, for a 20-Man Offseason/Preseason Roster?


Proposed 20-Man Offseason Rotation, 2020-21:
Kemba - Brown - Tatum - (XXXX) - Thompson
Teague - Smart - Nesmith - G.Williams - Theis
Waters - Pritchard - Langford - Ojeleye - R.Williams
Madar - Edwards - Green - (XXXX) - Fall

Maine Red Claws = (Madar - Fall)


We can go into the Season with a Max of 15 NBA players, and 2 x Two-Way Contracts.
I don't see a clear Starting PF. Unless we move Theis over?
Smart remains as the Super 6th-Man. But then again, we don't have a 2nd ball handler on the 1st Unit.

Brown and Tatum could share the Ballhanding, depending upon who comes in as PF.
Though, Brown is 2/3, who is best as a 2 (non-ballhandling). And Tatum is a 3/4, who is best as a 3.

As of now is either:
Kemba - Smart - Brown - Tatum - Thompson

Or:
Kemba - Brown - Tatum - Theis - Thompson

Good for him. He is awful

He was supposed to revolutionize defense and ended up sucking on defense. You never know until you ee them in the league

[Darth Celtic]

Wait, Nesmith has better playmaking ability and handle than Jaylen Brown now?

No. He shoots

The couchgm guy wants to move Brown from SG to SF because of Brown's playmaking and handle deficiences so I thought the implication was that the SG would thus have better playmaking ability and handle.

I have to close my windows every time that dude posts so much hot air comes out

Is it too late to squeeze in a summer league ??

This is Lebron’s league. A lot of people don’t understand how powerful he is. They are seeing it more and more.

Klutch is becoming bigger and bigger. He has a lot to do with that. He is the leader of Klutch.

A few weeks ago Klutch had an event here in CA. A lot of players showed up to the event because out of respect for Lebron.

He came to the Lakers and took over the team. He is like a player/GM.

The Lakers will be repeating this year no matter how strong other teams get. It sucks but that’s what it is. It’s like Lebron is a mob leader of the NBA.

Hahaha.
Preseason starts in 9 days.

[bisme37]

I've done my due diligence and decided we can possibly trade Semi and Carsen for either Jake Layman or Troy Brown Jr. So basically I just wasted 10 minutes.

[rd26]

I've been expecting some proposal to dump JB for Saric, or at least a declaration that we clearly upgraded SG with Teague.

If it we was another second I'm sure danny would trade tpe we already have for him and a second. 4.2m. makes me think even more he has a plan for a large Hayward tpe

Waiting. Was 90 days .. or 60. Probably 30 this year.

Waiting for the Boston TPE? This is a good question

Or CG's idea that I modified to involve us.
Zeller to PHO, S&T Baynes at MLE money to CHA, send us one of the Martin bros and TPE.
CHA doesn't have to stretch Batum. We get $25M TPE.

Baynes & Hayward reunite. We know where Theis goes in the offseason already - CHA signs him with the Batum money.

Grant, yeah, player. Just not wing for me is all.

[GoGreen]

This roster is so underwhelming. Smaller and less talented than last year, not to mention somehow not as deep. I'm just so disappointed in how Danny has totally bungled this offseason. I don't feel at all confident with him at the helm anymore

At this point I am going to assume there will be no S&T and the roster is set. Still think ainge blew the indy trade by trying to bend the pacers over but TT and Teague are decent. Team should definitely be a top 5 team in the east.
