all the way up

t'd probably end up being ~85mil for klay + dray + kd + curry which even if the cap goes up to 100m gives them very little room to work
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 17:36 (eight years ago) link
kd to gsw would be such a corny move
― marcos, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 17:37 (eight years ago) link
signing roll players then exceeding the cap by maxing out yr own guys works in this case
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 17:38 (eight years ago) link
oh right they can go over cap to max curry?
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 17:39 (eight years ago) link
i guess that does work then
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 17:40 (eight years ago) link
yeah theres a cap hold for their own players but since both curry and dray are on sub max contracts the hold is well less than the actual contracts will be
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 17:41 (eight years ago) link
not sure how much room thatll give them tho
there was an article abt it iirc
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 17:45 (eight years ago) link
i don't think there's any way it could work
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 17:47 (eight years ago) link
like they can tachnically make it work but i think the resulting team would be worse than this year's
imo adding a perennial mvp candidate is a good idea
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 17:48 (eight years ago) link
although im morally opposed id watch every game of a team with kd/steph/klay on it
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 17:51 (eight years ago) link
wanna talk abt hoistin folks
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 17:52 (eight years ago) link
KD should stay in okc that is best for the league imo

yea
― marcos, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 17:53 (eight years ago) link
going east would make things interesting too
― marcos, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 17:54 (eight years ago) link
the best thing of the league and in fact all of humanity is for kd to go to the celtics
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 17:54 (eight years ago) link
I only say this bc the spurs are 3rd on his list
KD is not going to any of the garbage ass east teams
― 6 god none the richer (m bison), Tuesday, 21 June 2016 17:55 (eight years ago) link
kd is def going to the celtics it might have already happened actually

embiid has been cleared to play basketball too
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 18:00 (eight years ago) link
everyone saying philly promised to take simmons #1 is the only reason he worked out for them so its more of a meet n greet / photo op than anything
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 18:06 (eight years ago) link
yeah its a done deal
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 18:06 (eight years ago) link
philly frontcourt simmons embiid okafor noel saric
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 18:07 (eight years ago) link
something got to give
prob two things
wld make sense for them to move noel since u him and simmons are both non shooters
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 18:10 (eight years ago) link
embiid doesn't exist
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 21 June 2016 18:38 (eight years ago) link
neither does saric
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Tuesday, 21 June 2016 18:38 (eight years ago) link
it would be fair to say that nikola mirotic's peak trade value was before he ever played in the nba right? the sixers should trade saric before he comes over
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 21 June 2016 18:39 (eight years ago) link
i like noel a lot i think he's clearly a valuable NBA player but i would trade any/all of those guys if it helps make simmons better

no one wants that pick lol just pick someone i guess

hayward seems... ambitious
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 03:07 (eight years ago) link
its okay though, the celtics will have high lottery picks the next 2 years too unless the nets build a real team out of nothing

Yeah I will believe embiid is real when he plays 70+ games and gets off of Twitter so this is really Simmons-okafor-Noel which ain't bad but still a long way from doing anything at all
― gis for westbrook shark jump (agent hibachi), Wednesday, 22 June 2016 12:12 (eight years ago) link
It's p lol if steins reporting is correct that philly keeps trying to give okafor to Danny for #3 and getting rebuffed, Danny's probably trying to get them to take some garbage bag full of second rounders and end of bench guys instead to clear some space
― gis for westbrook shark jump (agent hibachi), Wednesday, 22 June 2016 12:14 (eight years ago) link
I've made my peace with that third pick not really being worth much and the most likely outcome is some moderate upgrades to this years squad of fourth and fifth best guys, seems like everyone is all too aware that ainge is trying to shank them for a real player with that third pick and he'll just have to wait and ninja his way into the next harden type situation
― gis for westbrook shark jump (agent hibachi), Wednesday, 22 June 2016 12:16 (eight years ago) link
i'm surprised based danny can't at least get milwaukee interested in dealing middleton. bucks could use another point guard, which they can acquire by drafting dunn at 3, as insurance against both MCW's proven bustitude and the possibility that point giannis may not work as a primary offensive strategy

― if young slothrop don't trust ya i'm gon' rhyme ya (slothroprhymes), Wednesday, 22 June 2016 13:26 (eight years ago) link
the problem is that middleton is really good

yea i wanted the celtics to go after him last year and was surprised that afaik they didn't even try sending him an offer sheet
