Not jus Randle, Mitch also.

Don’t see how they fit long term.

If this FO can't get one additional FRP in this draft, they are officially lame asses

[Capn'O]

not that you're wrong but it just seems out of whack to have 1 guy making nearly half the salary cap

That cap spike money dried up quick though. But here it is - people aren't worried about Anthony Davis' money or LeBron's money. It's when you **** it up with a Mike Conley or declining Paul/Westbrook that all of a sudden the CBA is a problem.

I'll say something wild here... but the Knicks actually kept their dicks in their pants for the cap spike and if they don't **** it up by getting a Westbrook without MAJOR asset compensation they can be positioned to start getting the bargains on lower end star players and continue building the asset base that you need to ultimately bring home the big stars when they get grumpy. The franchise just needs to be committed to three years out instead of six months and I think you're gonna see this franchise turn around hard.

ad is still young and lebron is the rare old guy that makes that much money and lives up to it. but it's like i said, at age 30 your salary is still going up when it should probably start heading down again instead. it's not logical that a 32 year old star makes more than a 28 year old one.

agreed but 3 years is a long time to ask this fanbase to wait. you better somehow make the playoffs during these 3 years.

I think we can get there through development and savvy signings. Just don't drop 30 mil on the FVVs of the world. Like look at Orlando. They ain't **** (their best player wasn't even playing) and they made the playoffs.

We would get Hayes, Bane and Tyler Bey.

Terry, Poku and Woodard would be second-rounders.

I don't think they want one in this draft. No reason to carry 4 rookies from this class on guaranteed deals for the next 4 years. If anything they'll look to consolidate IMO or try to poach a 1st in next year's draft.

Ok. Amend my comment to "this year or next"

An absolute great deal for the Celtics if possible.

Jrue
Smart
Brow
Tatum
Turner

Wow!!!!

I think that team is way worse than what they have now. No pure creator on the roster. That team needs Kemba at full strength because he's their only plus playmaker. Jrue can't be your only above average passer in the starting 5 and expect to make the finals.... Jrue is in that weird space where he's sort of overrated and underrated at the same time.

Wow!!!!

I just can't see (what do I know) how Boston can turn Hayward into Turner?? Makes no sense to me. I'd expect Indy to want more than an oft-injured guy who's no longer a star (never was to me, for the record). Something just doesn't seem right.

Indiana gets more caucasian. Always a big plus for them.

Lol, easier said than done.

[Juco24]

Aaron Gordon anyone?

That would be a no for me...

Yeah, not sure any team would trade any assets for him, although it is the final year on his deal with team option for next so we’ll see.

I think Indiana wants #14 and unloads Lamb/Doug contract. Hayward is expiring. He will not be re-signed if he doesnt work.

IF there is any time to trade Randle it's this year, either now or at the deadline.

He's effectively 14 million expiring, since 4 million is guaranteed the next year.
He's decent, still somewhat young.

It would be in a trade where the other team was getting rid of a somewhat expensive player, I'd assume.

He's pretty trade-able, in certain contexts

[Tron Carter]

Not a good list

And this is the young man Leon Rose is supposedly enamored with, huh?

[Tron Carter]

somebody needs to take Alan Hahn’s twitter privleges away. Dude has been embarrassing himself pushing this westbrook trade nonsense
