Re: Free Agency & Trades Rumours Thread
Ugh...I hope Houston or SA quickly trade for Giannis. These Giannis to Raptors trades are making me vomit, especially talk about us giving up firsts, including our 2025 pick.
We don't even know how Ingram will even mesh with our team.

ingram will mesh fine with our team. he's an all star caliber player. the only question is his health status.
poeltl and quickley and our other 3 point shooters in dick, battle, ochai will feast on the gravity they create. rj is a bit of a question in terms of it but he may have to go out for salary matching anyway.

Re: Free Agency & Trades Rumours Thread
Probably not available but if the Grizzlies decided to completely reset, isn’t Jaren Jackson Jr basically the best imaginable player to pair with Scottie and Ingram in the front court. I’d rather have JJJ than Giannis given the fit and age.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?
Please advise….

He is up for a super max. So he gets traded to the Raptors and he'd be ineligible for the super max but would still command quite a bit of $$.

He’s worth a max but with the state of the Grizzlies maybe they balk at the supermax making him available for trade.

I don't think we could afford him given that we are currently so close to the luxury tax.

Well we’d be sending out Yak(probably to a 3rd team) and one of IQ or RJ plus a number of picks of course, so salary-wise things can be adjusted to make things fit.

Re: Free Agency & Trades Rumours Thread
I think LaRavia would be a good free agency target if we're able to unload RJ's salary in another trade. I would give him the full MLE into his prime years (2-3 years). We could use a PF with stretch ability, finding a true big that can stretch the floor could be hard.
Poeltl / Maluach
Barnes / LaRavia
Ingram / Mogbo
Agbaji / Dick / Walter / Battle
IQ / Shead

Are you mentioning Jake because of this? Also, I've seen Laravia as a SF/SG mostly. Mogbo is more of a PF than him.

Re: Free Agency & Trades Rumours Thread
There has been talk of Boston trying to unload salary this offseason, because of the financial constraints coming. I wonder if they would jump into the Giannis stakes, and offer Brown and White?

They're a dark horse team for sure, though I imagine it would be Tingus Pingus and Brown for Kuzma and Giannis. Picks obviously added from Boston until time ends. Gets them that "keep them afloat All-Star" haul plus draft capital they're allegedly looking for and Tingus is borderline AS when healthy.

Re: Free Agency & Trades Rumours Thread
I like the idea of adding Gafford as a backup rather than drafting for need in the lottery. Ochai makes a lot of sense playing off on AD and KI, so perhaps they bite given that AD and Lively on the same team makes Gafford a little more expendable. Would have to add some cap fodder to make the cap hit a little more manageable.

We gotta find a way to get Lively for Ochai + filler if we don't draft a Center

We should definitely try, but I doubt Mavs move Lively

It's happened a few times recently.
I'd be shocked if they picked up the option. Renegotiating a low rate seems like the logical scenario for both sides since there aren't many teams with cap space this offseason.

Yeah I expect him to resign at a much lower rate.
I just didn't know you could change dates on contract stuff like that.

Yeah that way is to include Scottie in the deal….
