"the difference maker"

Essentially a cap neutral trade between Brooklyn and Milwaukee. Tyler Zeller has a .7M cap hit this season and a non-guaranteed .9M salary in 2018-19. Rashad Vaughn is in the last season of his contract with a .89M cap hit.

bucks gave up a 2nd for a 3rd of a season of tyler zeller i dont understand

it's....not what i would have done

agreed. but sometimes just reshuffling the deck helps a player have a brief spurt of improvement. both GMs might be hoping for that.

the bucks acquire a 3rd second string center augmented by 4th stringer marshall plumlee

lol

Asked one of the #Cavs how much DeAndre Jordan could help right now and he said “Montell Jordan could help us right now.”

lmao xp

this is how we do it (play defense)

lol cavs

does cleveland have a single real meaningful asset beyond:

1. the nets pick
2. the increasingly slim chance of isaiah being good again and being a worthwhile rental/potential summer signing?

they have their 2018 1st round pick too, prob mid-late first round

seems like crowder might have some value but he may have played himself out of it

yeah im sure teams wldnt mind taking a look a crowder still, kover wade green even calderon all are tradeable, tho obvs theyre not bringing back any superstars but cld be useful in getting a deal done

love? not sure who wants him

love even with his broken hand cld be moved tho obvs the team wld need to not really care abt this season which narrows it down, but cld be perfect for one that wanted to tank for the rest of the season

if he wasnt injured hed be extremely tradable

anyway doesnt seem like the cavs are really looking to get anything done

if brons leaving anyway might as well try to get out from under that insane repeater tax, makes sense tbh especially since the right to resign isaiah is looking pretty worthless right now

#tradelebron gaining a lot of traction among cle talk radio callers btw

wow

ha nice

feel like if they spin this right it cld really work out for everyone involved

question posed by radio hosts this morning "who do you blame more, dan gilbert or lebron"

"lebron"

fuckin crazy

that seems excessive, though it is undeniably intriguing

the only thing is its pretty hard to trade lebron unless a. youre psyched about getting eric gordon and ryan anderson back b. you find a team thats willing to trade for him without a guarantee hell resign

xxp what the twopenny fuck it's gilbert for sure

tbh bron has totally fucked them with his noncommittal short contract leveraging bs, they prob wldve gotten paul george and maybe someone else if he just agreed to stay

see also various gm bron moves

idk seems like they should just go all in w/ lebron in the here & now and do whatever they can, all these callers saying they are sick of lebron's drama and they want to rebuild and i'm just like uhhhhhhh you've been to the finals for several straight years, everyone here is spoiled. obv lebron brings drama but jfc he is basically michael jordan for our generation you should do whatever to win w/ him now and stop whining about the drama he brings. our shitty brooklyn pick isn't gonna save us, we're gonna be fucked for years anyway imo may as well go #ALLIN right

the thing is they shdve gone allin with lebron this summer with or without a long term commitment but now its prob too late

yea i agree w/ that

btw kyrie kinda did cause this to some extent but hes also looking pretty prescient right now

that third eye man

everyone laughs but has he yet been wrong

a basketball = energy

The Celtics are chasing that extra first-round pick in Marcus Smart trade talks in hopes of flipping it in a deal for either Lou Williams or Tyreke Evans, league sources say

— Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) February 6, 2018

ha yeah they are, unclear why anyone wld be chasing marcus smart tho

if i'm a gm and ainge comes calling i straight up hang up the phone, remove from contact list and change my number, maybe even go as far as to change jobs.

lmao

maybe some super protected pick that will likely turn into 2 2nd rounders in four years cld make this happen idk

kyrie looks like a genius, everyone thought he was crazy

that third eye man

everyone laughs but has he yet been wrong

spiritual alchemy

for kyrie, it's something he's huge in

also seems unlikely anyones looking to move a first for tyreke/lou rentals

who needs to reach the salary floor and are a bunch of morons?

*scrambles through contacts list looking for FORMAN*

jokes aside they prob got most of what they needed in that respect out of attaining asik
