Around the NBA 2018-2019 (Non-Celtics Talk)

[ViperGTS]

SAS says that CP3 is telling people that Lebron wants to be in LA.

It's honestly getting to the point where it almost seems like it's a given that LeBron will end up in Los Angeles, but we all know he will be an attention whore and drag out the process and act like he doesn't know where he is going before finally announcing his shocking decision to take his talents to Hollywood.

No one is discussing them, they don't have a GM, but I still think he ends up in Philly to complete my local sports nightmare that was the past year.

If CP3 stays in Houston, PG stays in OKC, then its the most likely. Then maybe SA can trade Leonard for Saric, Simmons and filler.

Cs still better.

Memphis or Orlando?

This would cause havoc, and is slightly possible and logical.


To Cleveland

Mike Conley

Chandler Parsons

Marc Gasol

Ivan Rabb



To Memphis

Pick 8

George Hill

Tristan Thompson

JR Smith

Jordan Clarkson

Ante Zizic

Future Cleveland First Rounder



and

To Boston
Vucevic

To Orlando
Rozier, Morris brother, Nader, Yabusele, Clippers first rounder next year




I laugh at 25 of the NBA teams. Not doing anything. Happy keeping and paying malcontents while they lose. Not contending or rebuilding. The biggest official NBA news is Corey Joseph opting-in to his contract?


If everyone in USA For Africa singing We Are The World had a brawl, who would win?

No tag-teams, so The Pointer Sisters or Hall & Oates can't help each other.

I wouldn't be betting on Stevie Wonder.

Tito Jackson, Lionel Richie and Billy Joel might be my picks. Probably go with Tito.

Dwight to nets for Mosgov and 2 2nds. Wow. How the mighty have fallen.

Dwight to nets for Mosgov and 2 2nds. Wow. How the mighty have fallen.

Let the games begin!!!!!!

Strange deal.

[Homerclease]

Nets get out from under that mozgov deal and pick up the perfect tank commander. Howard makes every team he’s on worse. Good move for them

[Moose23]

Dwight to nets for Mosgov and 2 2nds. Wow. How the mighty have fallen.

Dwight looked good last season IMO. certainly a better player than Mozgov.

like what is Jordan doing over there? save 8 mill per season right now, but add another year in long term salary.....

perhaps additional moves to come?

Somebody said tax, but they were under the tax threshold last I checked. Maybe it allows them to use the MLE now? Nets do it to clear space next year. You can be pretty certain Dwight won't be on the Nets after the trade deadline.

[denmuscles]

Hopefully Danny Ainge when he turns 97 yrs old can still rob the Nets cartel style by trading them a 41 yrs old Tatum and 39 yrs old Jaylen Brown for 17 first round draft pick for 17 years

That's if anyone will actually want him. Contenders don't want that potential headache.

[CeltsfanSinceBirth]

Dwight must be happy, finally getting his wish and going to Brooklyn. For all the Celtics fans living in that area - quick, hide your teens!!!

for vet min after a buyout, maybe not a contender, but some team needing rebounding off the bench in the playoffs will pick him up. He did average 16/12 with 2 blocks in 30 mins last year, Per of 20. Take away his lack of perimeter defense and locker room stuff and he isn't a bad option.

definitely, he will be a valuable trade asset come February.

I actually think he won't be. His expiring salary would be the asset. If the nets find a trade for an all star at deadline, they can trade next years pick and expirings for him, and still have money to sign another in the offseason. Kind of like why we gave Zeller 8m a year for 2 years. Odds it happens are low, but odds he is then bought out after are very high and he's a vet ring chaser like Monroe was for us last year.

[TA42]

People are speculating that the Howard deal also allows the Nets to free up $60 million after next year. That puts them in line to make a run at Kyrie and Butler.

I trust Danny will do the right thing but with Kyrie being cryptic with his commitment I wouldn't be surprised if we see Danny look to move him sooner rather than later.

[ConstableGeneva]

I'm old enough to remember that some here preferred Dwight Howard over Al Horford. The former is on his 4th team in 4 years. The latter has led Boston to two consecutive ECFs.

well, a 23.5 million expiring is gonna have some value.

Looking at some teams that are going to start considering tearing down.....nets might end up with a much better player than the package of Mozgov and 2 seconds should have gotten them. I think this is gonna be a great trade for them.

[Roddy]

I was one of them. Too bad Dwight is a cancer in the locker room and act like a 10yo boy. He was very good last season to be fair.

And please, as good as Horford is, he did not led us....Tristan owned him again and again. Still better than Dwight of course.

[Saint Lazarus]

So now instead of dealing with one group of dumbass New Yorkers thinking they're getting a Kyrie now it's the other group in Brooklyn too. Ugh.

In terms of production he's fine, but there is something to be said for the fact that he is hated everywhere he goes. Not sure a contender would want to risk the potential locker room issues.
