2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

How many points do you want on this Lakers-Cavs game, @WiggyRuss?

What's the over/under for flagrant fouls committed against LeBron? 0.5?

 

[flyerhawk]

You might be right, but I hope you aren't!

I would love something like Josh Jackson, Ryan Anderson and a 1st for Wall and Rivers

You never know when a GM is going to lose their minds, but giving up Jackson and a 1st for the right to pay a disgruntled star 47 million dollars in his age 32 year seems more than a little crazy. And that is before you factor in the poisonous environment that currently exists in the locker room.

Maybe it's me, but wouldn't WAS have to throw in their 1st rounder just to get rid of Wall's contract? There's no way they are getting value in return, let alone all-star value. The only way PHX absorbs that contract is if they are getting a 1st round pick in return. At least that's what I would want. Then offer to buy him out.

Line is Lakers -9

From a Cavs player or fan running on court?

Does that work within trade rules? Thought contracts had to match within 75%.....

It works.

Buy him out?

No.

Phoenix needs a PG. they have cap space.

They might not want Wall. But put him on the court with Booker, Ayton, Bridges and Warren and they are. A possible playoff team. They aren't that far off and PG is the missing piece.

The question is whether they are willing to pay Wall. If they trade for him, they keep him.

If I were a Cavs fan I would be trying to get in the owner's box so I could flagrantly foul Gilbert.

No way that any team is going to trade for Wall as a salary dump move. They will want to keep him. But he is VERY expensive.

IMO, Wall might make sense for Phoenix because A) it would let Booker be more of a pure shooter B) it would get them a big time name.

Those are potential positives but there is also the very real issue of Wall getting paid an absurd amount of money over the next 3 years. And there is also the very real concern that he does not play well with others.

Only if both teams are over the cap.

LOL This is US is the best show on TV by far and it is a family show. Not sure why anyone is acting like it is a female show

If you're not a family man then it isn't for you.

I am a family man, but have never actually seen the show. Just messing with you. lol

My wife watches it and says I'd probably like it. This time of year though, between work and all of the sports on tv, I can't even keep up with the shows that I do watch. My dvr is getting pretty full.

 

[DJ Fieri]

It works.

The Suns must be far enough under the cap then to absorb that contract and send out the ones you mentioned.....usually salaries have to match within 75-80% I believe.

They do match anyway.

Wall is only making 19 million this year.

 

[knowyourenemy]

Remember when Washington had all those great prospects? Dejounte Murray, Marquese Chriss, Markelle Fultz...almost snagged Michael Porter too.

And all of them may end up being marginal NBA players.

 

[knowyourenemy]

Man, some Wall haters in here.

 

[Wamu]

So KD got fined 25K for telling a fan to shut the fuck up. He's such a bitch.

That's right, he signed an extension that hasn't kicked in yet....my bad.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Man, some Wall haters in here.

That's what I've been thinking.....he's a great point guard but he signed a huuuuuuge extension and he's apparently the reason the Wiz locker-room is toxic.


I think he could be fine in a new situation.....

 

[WiggyRuss]
