Is James Ennis any good? Anyone have some info. I know we are looking at low key moves because of Stanley Johnson figuring it out. Don't think Pistons want to trade him now.

Is Ennis any good?

It’s been years since I consistently saw him play on the Heat, but he is a limited 3 and D guy. He has size, athleticism and could hit an open jump shot.

Athletic but struggle to create a shot while he was here in Miami

Cavs could technically still go after Deandre Jordan if they worked out a package involving one of the LAC firsts swapped with the BRK pick. No idea what that package could look like though.

I guess that’s true. Don’t the Clippers have multiple pics from the Blake trade? Gosh - all this is going to be so co confusing ...

Lol at the cavs

Poor IT being bounced around like a $1 prostitute

This reminds me of when the Raps traded expiring Jermaine O'Neal to the Heat. The Heat then signed Chris Bosh in the offseason with the cap space.

They could maybe flip CLarkson to another team hoping to get a 1st or a 3 team where they getta 1st back and trade away the BKN pick but that would have to be a blockbuster trade

I thought the rule was that you just can’t trade your own first round pick in consecutive years. If that’s right then there is nothing preventing them from trading the BKN pick

Yeah - that’s what I thought...

The Ted Stepien Rule, which we described in an updated glossary entry last month, is another complicated rule that is often misinterpreted. The rule prevents a team from leaving itself without first-round picks in back-to-back future seasons. However, a team can still trade its first-round pick every year, if it so desires.

The rule also technically does allow a team to trade away its own first-round picks in consecutive future seasons as long as the team has acquired at least one first-round pick from another club in either of those two years. For instance, the Cavaliers have already traded away their 2019 first-rounder, but they could still trade away their 2018 first-round pick, since they’re owed the Nets‘ first-rounder in 2018. The Stepien rule would only block Cleveland from trading both of its 2018 first-rounders without securing another first-round pick for ’18 or ’19 in the process.

THE BKN PICK CANT BE TRADED NOW UNLESS THEY PICKUP ANOTHER

Interesting! Thanks for the clarification!

Do you guys realize that Lebron traded IT to the Lakers to clear cap space for Lebron. Brilliant.

Bellinelli and Tyreke are probably the biggest names out there who's most likely to get traded.

[High0ctane21]

Do you guys just have twitter open, or looking at a different site to get instant trade updates.
