Trade Thread #8: All Gordon things come to an End

[Roddy]

Forbes and Craig to Bucks. Very good players for them.

Lots of things work like that. Ainge good as a facilitator. Most teams cooperate because they need people to work with when they need help.

I expect Nesmith to be one of the best SGs in the league, so we have that SG spot covered long term...

He's a natural SG, a Klay type player. Not sure if he'll ever be as good but that's obviously the hope because his game is so similar. Jaylen is a natural SF so he should should be better at the 3 where his limited handle, BBIQ and playmaking is minimized. I see a lot of people worried about Smart starting and I don't get why they think he will. Nesmith should start. If he doesn't eventually start this season it means I'm completely wrong about him.

I saw the Jazz gave Mitchell a "designated rookie" deal worth 5 years $195M.

Is there word on whether Tatum is getting that or just his regular max?

Is this a legit take? I don’t really watch college ball so wondering what his ceiling is

Draft twitter (guys who actually watch a ton of film on these prospects) hated the pick universally. They think his 52% 3pt shooting number is a bit of a mirage based on competition and small sample size. And if that shooting isnt real he doesnt give you much else. If his shooting isnt spectacular, his path to being worth it at the 14th pick is pretty low.

And some of them gave the Celtics a B or a B+ for their draft. Depends where you look.

His college coach said he can be as good as Kris Middleton if not better. And Nesmith knows Kris and they workout together.

Besides that, Nesmith has a great work ethic.

I have no clue if he's any good, but I do know when I hear the words "Draft twitter", I'll dismiss anything they say.

No word at all. The original tweet looked like someone making an educated guess to gain more followers. No confirmation of an extension yet by anyone credible. But I would hope we wouldn’t **** around and we give him the 195 mil. But who knows with danny.

This makes me scared that Bogdanovic is angling to go to LA

Having nesmith start solves an issue of him and Langford playing at the same time. Splits it up when Langford is back

Yeah I want Nesmith or even Grant Williams to start. Preferably Nesmith.

Giles for the minimum to Portland.

Tatum is totally going to end up dating a Kardashian/Jenner now. This sucks.

Sucks for who? That'd be awesome for him.

Everyone on this board has seen Kim K have sex. Lol. I am fine with it.


There are so many better looking exotic women at the Hult International Business School. Same about of money as the Jenners, but without that drama.

Amick has been killing it. Not Woj or Shams level yet, but he's emerged as one of the top news-breakers.

Can a third team like the Knicks go to Bogdan offering a better deal? Or is this "I already called dibs"?

A Jazz fan helped me understand the whole thing. Mitchell basically got a $165M deal that could turn into $195M with incentives like making all-NBA etc. Fox got the same thing with the Kings so I imagine Tatum will get it too (unless there's a way for him to get even more somehow lol).

Bogdan signed the offer sheet. So now it's just a matter of whether Sac matches it or not. No other teams are in play other than the Hawks or Kings

Irs done. Hawks or king's. Kings should match. That's well under twenty. Wait a year and trade him. Give the rookie a year off the bench.

I was into Giles because he's Tatum's bff and still has lots of upside. But oh well.
