Lillard should go to OKC.

Yup. Portland wins that in a landslide though

Dame is likely done in 2 years, but has 4 years on his contract

Why 2 years? He'll be 33 in a few weeks and I think he can play until 36-38 like Curry.

He seems two steps slower, unlike steph

Leon’s chess moves run deep and many years before fruition

McDaniels split last season with the Charlotte Hornets and Philadelphia 76ers. In 80 total games between the two teams, McDaniels averaged 9.4 points and 4.3 rebounds per game.

Good move for the raps

Toronto has all the PF/SF’s. Siakam OG Barnes McDaniels Boucher ThadYoung Achiuwa GradyD. I count 8.

Something has got to give?

Not for nothing but IQ/Fournier makes sense for them positionally.


I did this one for Siakim rather than OG…probably too much for Siakim


Barrett, IQ, Fournier for Siakim, Achiuwa, Flynn works in checker.

Toronto
IQ/Schroeder
Barrett/Trent/Dick
OG/Fournier
Barnes/McDaniels
Poetl/Boucher

Knicks
Brunson/Flynn/Deuce
Grimes/DiVicenzo
Siakim/Hart
Randle/Achiuwa
Mitch/Hart

Put down the trade machine and step away with your hands where we can see them.

He has 3 years left on his contract.
That contract became a bargain.
Nets are not trading him cross town and playing with your college buddies is nice but there is a limit.
So is the insanity of Jay Wright coaching them.

Anyone else ticked off that Miles Bridges is getting a deal

A little, but what are you going to do? He served out his punishment and he's being forced to take less money. It's on him what he does with his second chance.

Now teams can vie for him

I'll take him and he can compete with Roby. If neither guy impressed trade Evan for a player in his contract range

not sure how many here have been following this guy but he's been tweeting alot of stuff before woj/shams that's turned out to be true (tho he has some misses). he claims he's a former agent with alot of connections.

he was initially this: https://twitter.com/droppingdimes20

then woj actually got him banned so he set up 2 other ones:

https://twitter.com/droppingdimes50 and a backup account: https://twitter.com/droppingdimes55

in terms of knicks and raptors stuff, here's what he has to say:

it's offseason so i figure it's fun to play along...

Offer him the BAE or do a sign and trade using the TPE and two second rounders for a 2 year 16 million deal, second year Player option. He has a one year deal with the opportunity build his value. He may have more time to play behind Randall then Obi did because he is a 3 and D, 4. I would atleast try if not try the same offer for PJ Washington.

I'd love to add Williams but not clear how we would do that considering he won't take that BAE if we can still offer him that and the Celtic's would want some value in return for him.

Say $10M is the range for Williams - maybe that's way low but I don't think it's way high as a starting point for him but who do we trade to Boston in S/T?

Maybe they could see some value in a Fournier return but he makes $18M and don't think Boston would value him as fair return for Williams.
If not Evan - who else can we send or would we want to send for Williams? Can S/T be a 3-team deal?

Evan and Deuce.
They need a "dog" in the back court! Dye his hair green and folks will think its Smart rehabbing on the bench.
I know its sacrilege to even suggest trading deuce, but he is a notch lower on the totem pole unless there is thought to trade one of IQ or Grimes.

Ideally speaking, what do you see as a Siakam return? What is Masai looking for?

And can he play SF?
