the problem was having to use their full MLE to keep Martin and wanting to reset their tax leaving them without the BAE until later in the season.

Good point.

Hawks' front office has green light to consider trade opportunities involving Trae Young

Only two years removed from a trip to the Eastern Conference finals, the once-promising Atlanta Hawks are now spiraling. A play-in berth last season led to their first-round annihilation by the Hea…

Lotta smoke that Nick Nurse is leaving Toronto

FVV too.

Sounds like Magic will throw him a big bag.

If Toronto low balls him, not a stretch to think he’d take it considering he lives in Orlando during the offseason.

 

[The Q]

Good point.

they basically needed to do one of the following to address the PF spot:

1) turn duncan into a bad contract PF
2) trade duncan for a cheaper, slightly less bad contract (to open up room for BAE)
3) trade their first round pick for a future one
4) Stash their first rounder rather than bring him over
5) pay the damn tax

Yup.

That top 5 pick is getting traded.

Yup.

That top 5 pick is getting traded.

What does Simons Nurcic and the 5 pick bring back? Picks 1 and 2 have immense value in this draft. Then a big drop off 3-5. That’s not bringing back a star.

Simmons, Sharpe and #5 are their best assets.

Define star?

It’s not getting you Luka.

But, Collins, Beal, Lavine etc?

Probably.

Likely get to keep 1 of the 3 assets too if the filler salary isn’t very toxic.

If the Clippers blow it up, George works as well.

Miller is a guy who could.

Some have him over scoot

Them landing #2 would be fascinating to watch

Cool.

Beal for Simons, 5 and whatever salary you want to send Washington‘s way to make the money work.

Beal.

Or at least it should.

You letting Kuz and zinger walk I assume?

So we are looking at Dame Beal and maybe an overpay for Grant to keep him in the fold. Dame can’t win a championship with that and Portland just pushes back a needed rebuild that we all agree already started. This is essentially just running back Dame/McCollum. This kind of move doesn’t help Dame accomplish a goal. It doesn’t help Portland accomplish a goal. The best move for all parties is for Dame to be traded and for Portland to let Grant walk or sign and trade for other assets and continue their rebuild.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Beal.

Or at least it should.

So McCollum/Dame Part Deux.

 

[The Q]

Cool.

If port can do it without sharpe they should run

I think it’s

Simons
Keon
Knox
Little

Gets you very close

Might need watford and or walker too.

Nothing will change until our “leaders” can come together and affect some change on our gun culture.

So, as @msgkings322 always says, this is life in America.

Because people won’t let go of any rights around guns.

I actually agree with most of them!

 

[tlance]

You letting Kuz and zinger walk I assume?

What I would do and what the Wizards will do are 2 very different things.

But yes, I would start almost completely over.

This core not going anywhere.
