Couldn't Indiana have dumped Matthurin and kept Turner and been clear of the tax? They should have done that instead of letting Turner walk imo

my understanding of the situation is Indy lowball offers Turner & Turner agrees to sign with milwaukee before giving Indy a chance to make other moves/dont give them opportunity to match

Isn't Mathurin solid though. I mean I'd offer Gaff for him in a sec, but Indy would quickly decline

So who will pick up Lillard?

Low cost high upside move

I like Boston or Miami doing it but that’s more with next year in mind.

Not sure if he’s expected to actually be playoff ready this coming year. If so, LAC feels like a good one.

I like the idea of someone getting him, giving him a place to rehab, and then having him on the cheap when he gets back.

I do not rate low feel guards highly personally, Turner much more difficult to replace, think my math may be a hair off tho

Absolite masterclass by the Nuggets, with 2 trades and 2 min signings.

Seems to me they’re having a great offseason. Guys who fit that mold.

Is there anyone out there?

Can you provide an example of a team who would trade a young star and multiple first(s) for LeBron.

I can't find one.

Maybe I over exaggerated the word star.

GSW - Kuminga/Podz (picks)
Rockets - Jabari Smith Jr. / fillers (picks)
NYK - Bridges / Robinson (picks)
CAVS - Garland / fillers (picks)

I’m sure I could think of more. He puts butts in seats and helps teams win.

I dunno, the 2 min signings they could've made without trading their 2032 1st. MPJ for CamJ is a wash on court.

Agree. They seem to be doing the best in the league.

I actually have MPJ as better player than CamJo, but IRL budgets matter and they became very expensive, they are affordable now.

Right so it really comes down to MPJ + 2032 1st for CamJ + JV (so far). I'm okay with it i guess.. don't find it super amazing

What would a Duncan Robinson S&T look like for the Pistons? Seems that Detroit needs this to happen to add some shooting to the roster. Would Miami wake expiring Tek and Sasser?

But Jonas trade could be tied in to it so just would need another vet min from Sac added.. And Sac has a TPE so could take back some of Dallas salaries if you wanted.. And Sac has some extra draft capital..

So Siakam for no salary in return and picks from Sacramento? I guess show me how it works with Indy getting no salary back and you might not get yelled at?

If the Kings trade picks now for Siakam, I may have a full mental breakdown.

We should not be adding more 30 year olds

Does Siakam even turn the Kings into a sure top 6 in the west?

I mean, Siakam is REALLY good. I don’t think he’s as seamless a fit with Sabonis as he was with Myles, but he’d certainly be a great consistent producer every single night.

The Warriors package is pretty light, and Jabari might be nuetral on his extension, but I don't see the Knicks or the Cavs adding draft capital. In fact, I'm pretty sure they'd want some back.

Jazz reporters are saying that the Jazz can't find offers for John Collins and may have to keep him.

Their disaster offseason will conclude by giving Kessler his 5/175 as my guess.
