Melo to Atlanta along with a protected 2022 first for Schroder and Mike Muscala.
Man, OKC is building a crazy strong team. Imagine Schroder off the bench behind Russ!
Edit: Apparently, OKC got even more. Rather than Muscala, they got Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot from my Sixers and we also traded Justin Anderson to Atlanta.
So basically, we just traded OKC a player who is better than the centerpiece of what they got for James Harden.... for Mike Muscala.
Can't wait to hear them spin this one.
OKC won this trade going away but the Hawks won too considering they felt the need to get rid of Schroder.
TLC and Schroder for the Melo contract and a protected first rounder 3 years from now. And Atlanta gets a pick and a solid young player in Anderson for a guy who probably wouldn't have played much and a guy they felt they had to move on from.
OKC is building a strong young core around Russ, PG, and Steven Adams. Something they lacked for years after trading away most of their young guys other than Russ, KD, and Ibaka.
Turns out he backed out and signed with the Kings for 2 years and $6.2 million instead.Mavs re-signing Yogi Ferrell to a two year deal for $5 million+. Not bad for a former undrafted free agent.
Good deal fo Lakers. Not sure if there is enough mins to around though.Michael Beasley has agreed to a one year deal with the Lakers worth $3.5 million.
I hope we trade a few pieces during the season. We have a lot of assets but so far only book, when healthy, looks solid. Chriss, bender, even jackson are still potentials. Ayton is a rookie so hard to gauge till regular season. Man, our starting pg is knight. Not an exciting thought. HahahahaSuns trade Jared Dudley to the Nets for Darrell Arthur, who they plan to buy out. Solid move I guess.
Sixers trade Holmes to the Suns for cash considerations. Brett Brown the GM officially sucks. The fact that this opens up a spot for 2017 second round pick Jonah Bolden to sign a four year contract worth $7 million dollars doesn't change that.
Suns also guarantee the contract of 2017 second round pick Davon Reed and make it clear they plan to keep undrafted guard Shaq Harrison.
salary cap will go up next year, he probably think he'll get a better offer from Clips next year. He is good, i dont think he is that good. he should have taken his money but thats me. if things go his way next year, good for him. i just feel like West will use the money to improve the team by adding either a star or 2 and ensure bench is a bit deeper than now.Tobias Harris apparently rejected an extension worth $80 million.
Imo, this was a mistake. He's talented and unique as a scorer but he needs to look around the NBA. The teams who will have the money to sign him don't need him, and unless he averages like 23+ points per game then I don't see how he's getting max money from anybody. I don't think that offer will even be on the table again after this season given the fact that he doesn't play defense and there's going to be a lot of other scorers wanting the ball, like a healthy Gallinari. You know both SGA and Jerome Robinson will get a lot of minutes given how high they were drafted so you can expect both to cut into his attempts per game. Plus a healthy Avery Bradley. The only way this move makes sense for him is if he really doesn't want to be a Clipper.
Yeah. Him and Khris Middleton are extremely similar players when it comes to the level of player they are, except Middleton plays defense and now has a 40+ point game to his name. Avery Bradley is another guy like that but he happens to be a lockdown defender -and a versatile one at that. Then you have guys like Nurkic, Vucevic, Greg Monroe, Thad Young, Galinari, etc. He's going to really have to round himself out as a player to get above those guys and into 100+ million territory. His becoming an accurate three point shooter last season majorly helped but he's going to have to be able to play and more importantly guard both forward spots and just become that genuine star player who is more than just a one-dimensional player who every so often drops thirty plus. This season is really make or break for him in that regard.salary cap will go up next year, he probably think he'll get a better offer from Clips next year.
