This cracks me up because it's such a classic negotiation tactic. Tell them they can't have something that you're totally fine giving up in hopes they say ok well do it if we get him so you can ok you twisted my arm let's complete the trade.

The Pels will get a decent player at 4

Kuzma is a good fit next to Zion as either a 3 or 4 (with Zion as a 4 or 5).

Ingram will be a stud if he comes back from his blood clot disorder.

Jrue/Ingram/Kuzma/Zion ain't bad, especially when you consider their other talented role players.

Ball is a project or he could always be flipped for another asset. I'd swap JJ for him.

Draft BPA (don't look at position, he'll come of the bench anyway)
Sign Beverley
Trade Jackson and pick (2nd/MIL's/trade down from 6th) for stretch 4
Resign Oubre and Holmes

I'd be totally OK with this.

Ball/Jrue/Ingram/Zion/C with Garland and Kuzma off the bench.

Glad to see Igor land on someone elses coaching staff good bball mind. Sucks he'll be within our division. Should bode well for Bogdan Bogdanovic and D'aaron Fox.

P.s. sorry if its in the wrong thread.

Hypothetical- as a suns fan would you rather have Boston trade for AD knowing there's a chance he just joins the Lakers for free next summer and they still have those young assets to either build or trade for others around him plus the Pels get Tatum and good pieces. Or just have the Lakers get AD know but it takes all the young pieces so their window is basically the next couple years with an aging LeBron?

(First preference is traded to NY or Brooklyn but that's not part of the hypothetical)

It's kind of hard but I think I'd lean towards LA just getting him now because I have like 0 faith he would stay in Boston. Plus him going to LA now sets up what would be the unlikely but absolutely hilarious scenario where he goes there and for whatever reason it doesn't go well and he leave next summer. Basically the Dwight Howard

I would prefer him going anywhere else but the Lakers simply so they can waste another season and see them implode. Lebron would be a year older and the tension between the youngins and Bron would be great to see as a Suns fan.

According to C's fans, Steve Bulpett, is the most reliable reporter for them and just did an article on Kyrie preparing to join the Nets.

If your interested in a Tyler + 32 for Dragic that is now feasible.

LA getting him now. Otherwise you are ultimately just adding another young stud in Tatum to the West...AND the Lakers are tougher keeping their young guys (if they want) AND getting AD. At least in a Lakers trade the net impact of player movement in west is a zero sum move unless the Lakers pick goes east for a really good player...but that 4th pick could be a good player.

On the bright side, AD is 5 yrs older then Ayton. So maybe in 5 yrs he can kick his butt when AD is in his 30s :nonono:

THIs is where Karim @kareezysports got that nugget. He reported Kyrie has agreed with Nets and preparing to move

Agent works for ROC; brother works for Nets - over Moms dinner” Just small talk - a deal happens . Nothing fishy there

They have Love/ Thompson/ Zizic up front and only have one SF on their roster (Osman). Seems like a logical trade to balance out both rosters.

Don't love Nance but certainly more than TT and Love

Not until Tyler opts in. Frankly I have them as about equal players right now so I wouldn't even bother with a straight swap.

Hope the Pels are able to snag some future 1st round picks from the Lakers. I hope nobody joins Lebron and becomes another one of his puppets.

Enjoy.

Rich Paul pulling his string as a de facto LA GM and Anthony Davis' agent.
Sucks that Dell Demps is falling for this trap.

Demps isn't the GM anymore

Who would you rather add to our backcourt this summer?
