2019 Offseason Speculation Thread - Something gonna happen but will you like it?

[robillionaire]

they're trading this year's pick and next years. so they actually have to make the pick for atl and then wait until 30 days after the draft to trade him there. you can't trade two picks in a row otherwise. no ? don't they have to sign the player first so they're technically not trading two picks in a row.

They still have 27 this year and had a first last year as well.

I don’t think this is about Stepien

you're right. they have denver's pick. so it's not that.

I don’t think it matters that they have Denver’s pick the rule is you can’t trade your own

I’ll double check but I thought it’s about having a first at all

God Damnit kemba is like the bootleg version of kyrie. Kyrie and Durant is like a cheat code that should get you to the finals every year. and with the warriors getting old and breaking down you probably win with that duo when you factor in Mitch's progression into an all time great defensive big.

Kemba and Durant, is that even better than siakam and kawhi? Maybe it is or maybe not.

Saw some questions about how much space BKN has now

Read on Twitter

So they’re 6 mil shy of the KD Kyrie max combo.
Dumping Joe Harris does that.

They’re good for two 7-9 maxes though

It would be nice if people could actually read the known salaries instead of quoting bull twitter artists.

It's really not very hard to figure out the Nyets cap - there are a bunch of resources on the net - basketball-insiders, basketball-reference, and many other (espn, .. ) w/e. I'm going to use sportrac: https://www.spotrac.com/nba/brooklyn-nets/cap/2019/

You'll see that Shabb and Trev have non-guaranteed contracts if renounced by 10 July. So, doing that immediately nets the Nyets $1,696,342 in salary cap.

Their "$66m" in 'effective salary cap' is in fact: $66,975,950. So, sticking these together the Nets have $68,672,292 in cap space. The KD+KI combo is $70,850,000. So that leaves them a little less than $2.2m shy of a Kd-Kyrie combo.

It's actually not so hard to dump the remaining salary. Look on https://www.spotrac.com/nba/brooklyn-nets/cap/2019/ to see the options

he’s not some random dude. He’s well respected by a lot of smart media members.

You’re manipulating what they do after this and he didn’t.

Sorry. 71 not 72. Are you being serious with this reaction? Calm the fuq down.

Keith smart is taking knox,tier, and kadeem alan to the final game 4 i guess that means the knicks aren't trading the kids?

Read on Twitter

So the trade is

Mitchell / Frank / #3 / DSJR + mav pics. They letting us keep Knox but not mitchell.

The difference was between >$6m and $2.2m I don't care who the **** the guy is. If he can't calculate and justify his numbers and show his work I don't give a **** who he is or what he says.

"You’re manipulating what they do after this and he didn’t."

I'm manipulating. ??? What does that mean, ffs?

i'm here for the cap space drama

[GnarlsOakley]

If we get Kawhi and draft well at #3, we win the offseason

Let Kyrie and KD team up in BK, who cares

Apologies for not taking >$6m = $2.2m ... but yeah, those later tweets are closely/approximately inline with the exact numbers (as far as I understand them)

But the point is that >$6m is quite a lot of salary to abandon when you have a small pay-roll, whereas $2.2m is actually pretty doable.

To me Kemba> Kyrie.. put Kyrie on the hornets let's see how far they go. Dude was a career loser before Bron came to Cleveland

AD is going to LA...the league gave NO- Zion and put Griffin in NO to ensure Lebron gets AD...And I'm hoping it happens
so Mitch stays where he belongs...

He said they’re at 66 now

He said they can get up to 68 in his follow up tweets

They can get there. He didn’t say they couldn’t. You manipulated their roster moves after the number they are at now to show what they can get to.

I didn’t say you manipulated what he said.

The difference was 6 mil and 5 mil (closer to 4 if you don’t round up to 71)

Not 6 and 2.2 mil

From the 66 they’re at now

Here's a clickbait article from Forbes: https://www.sportscasting.com/nba/underrated-players-nba-2019/

Top 10 underrated players in the league this year. Nah, yeah, the stats they use are biased towards bigs. But, still, read the list.

(Overpaid players list is also fun.) I guess the Knicks have to do it. But it doesn't feel good.

[Richard4444]

I envy Russel 21M Cap Hold. It is a good value for him before capping out. He is younger (23) healthier and less crazy than Irving. I dont think is a good deal let him go.

Read my numbers and weep.

do we include Lance Thomas's non-guaranteed $7.5m in our calculations of salary caps for the Knicks? Of course not.

[Garbagelo]

Let Kyrie go to the Nets

We should have zero interest in him anyway

I'm pretty certain KD is gonna stay in GS at this rate though
