Around the NBA - Curse all of the other teams here

lakers and nets i would think want him the most. both teams without much to offer and have a hard time matching the 28 mill. not sure there's any team that can match that easily without giving up players they want to keep. i say he still gets cut.

Anyway the Knicks can get involved to assist the Lakers, get an asset and screw over the Nets?

I'm looking for a trifecta.

are you trading randle so he can start and giving him the max he wants ? he turned down 90 mill. are you giving up ours or the mavs 1st for him too ? i don't see us getting involved.

I think you can't have Randle for les than a hundred mil and collins is younger and better. He's a better athlete and shooter. I'd trade them Obi if I could.

You're right, we're not getting involved. Probably. But it would be a move in the right direction. Him and Mitch would be nice together.

the pieces would fit together better but i just don't see us getting involved for any bigs right now. he's not really better this year either. he might have more room to grow but nobody expected more from randle this year and he grew.

I'd say if the Raptors get Drummond they may have enough to challenge in the East. Coach Nick Nurse is heads above coach Steve Nash/Kyrie Irving.

Gasol and Ibaka proved to be more important to the Raptors success than they realized and now they are scrambling to get better at the 5 but the problem is Drummond doesn't do what they think he will for them. He's very productive and a load down low but his skill set is way more limited than those other guys, he's basically a rim runner that can pass the ball.

What made Gasol and Ibaka so effective is they both could shoot 3s and block shots plus they were pretty good in all facets of defensive skills. Drummond doesn't stretch the floor the way they did and though he may be better than what the Raps have he doesn't make them better than the top teams in the east let alone the west.

i don't think drummond really helps teams that much. he puts up stats but they don't move the needle much as far as wins.

Drummond is making like $28.7MM. There are only a few teams that can feasibly trade for him without damaging their core. Plus, said team would have to have assurances that Drummond was willing to re-sign if they choose. That team would need to send a usable player that is not a Center AND help the team push for the playoffs...if that is their plan. I see that the CHI Bulls could use him/ his download presence to help Lavine & Markkanen.

CHI: Otto Porter ($28.5MM expiring) + SRP for Drummond ($28.7MM expiring) works out in every way for both teams.

MIA: can send Kelly Olynyk ($13.6MM) + Miles Leonard ($9.4MM) + filler.

SAC: can send Harrison Barnes ($22,2MM) + DaQuan Jeffries ($1.5MM) + filler. Harrison Barnes is not an epxiring but could be a good presence for their young players.

I'm not totally against NYK helping a certain team get him by picking up an asset we can flip later in another deal.

Never mind...I see that he may be on his way to TOR.

Guess either Powell or Lowry

They could trade Powell/Baynes/McCaw/Stanley Johnson to get it done or something along those lines. Powell is playing pretty well for them...its tough to see them trade Lowry since he has been like Mr Raptor.

Drummond would be a beast on the Lakers especially during the playoffs against that trash ass fake NY team
