Hope he gets back his touch from 3 like in the second half of last year. Wasn't looking so hot at Rico. That will be huge for him.


His ceiling is OG
I think he's lacking some in between the ears to be as good as OG.

Why would he ever be playing there? What's the connection?. Could he possibly be talking to the Raps?

Can you do a 2 way sign and trade, one free agent for another? Is that possible?

I clicked on this Tweet last night and one of the first comments said that his girlfriend is from Toronto. Don't know how true that is.

I think 2 guys can be S&T-ed for each other but I could be wrong.

But the salaries would probably still have to mostly match though, right? I had the same thought about a double sign and trade, but assuming Fred is looking to get more than $25 million per, and I wouldn't want to pay Russell any more than about $18 million, this kind of trade probably can't really happen because you can't package other players with sign and trades.

You think fvv is worth more than Russell? Russell is also an all star... he's younger. And he's a much more efficient scorer than fvv.... what's the logic behind giving him scrub money?

Yes, I think he'll get a bigger contract this summer.

You said YOU wouldn't wanna pay Russell more than 18 mill. My question is, you'd rather pay fvv what he wants than give a similar contract to Russell?

I always assumed this to be the case, but it doesn't appear to be, at least under the current CBA (since 2018). The restriction doesn't show up in Larry Coon's CBA page.

Because he contributed to a 'chip.

Not sure where you got that from. I've said that I think FVV is a valuable player in a certain role, but wouldn't want to pay him what it seems he'll be asking for.

Ya I always thought the same but have seen plenty of sign and trades recently where guys were part of massive 4 way trades so I'm not really sure how that works.

If you hate FVV on your team you are going to find a new level of vitriol if Russell takes over the PG spot on this team

I asked a question I didn't make a statement, hence, "my question is..." reason I asked that question is I'm not sure how their market values aren't similar.

Why?

10-20% more dribbling and 100% less defence. And yes, regardless of which teams they end up on FVV will be paid more because he has more value in the league. Lakers would be SO much better with Fred.
