Is this a real question? What team in the league doesn't want cap space? They all want it whether they can actually use it or not.


Go back and find where I said Westbrook is all they would get.

A team that can't sign free agents wants to give up a star they drafted, that wants to stay, for cap space they can use to not attract free agents?

Makes sense....said nobody EVER.

I didn't say you inferred Westbrook was all they are getting.

I said they are giving up the most to receive the least.

None of this will matter when Beal rakes the max.

 

[bksballer89]

Hurt my soul?

I wouldn't like it.

But, that's a bit extreme.

I am enjoying the Lakers being down .....bad.

But, that's not why I have this take.

What you are suggesting makes zero sense for the team giving up the most.

My stance is based on logic, not hate.

As for Miami...

You don't think the Heat would love to get off Lowry/Robinson?

Kyrie and Jimmy are good friends.

He's not vaccinated. It is a team rule that you must be vaccinated. No chance they go for him

 

[bksballer89]

Would be a good move

It's not based on logic because you're not actually responding to what I posted.

Jimmy and Kyrie being friends doesn't mean that they can or would even want to play together. What about Kyrie has ever suggested that he would buy into Heat culture? The Heat haven't even been mentioned as being interested and they can get guys for Lowry/Robinson who are more likely to buy into their culture than Kyrie.

I saw a rumor about Collins to the Kings for #4.

That would be a Kings move

Makes sense....said nobody EVER.

And yet, every team wants cap space.

I said they are giving up the most to receive the least.

We don't know what else they would be getting, so you are making an assumption basedon info that no one has. I specifically said that we don't know what else was sugested because I didn't readthe whole article and that I would expect that the Wiz would get more than just Westbrook. You're posting like the Nets wouldn't get anything more than Westbrooks expiring which has not been suggested.

Sorry.

Not sure why you believe your fantasy trade bullshit is anymore realistic than mine.

You are guessing, AND PRAYING, based on rumor too.

You couldn't get John Wall without a sweatner.

But, you can get Kyrie and the Nets can get Beal, who allegedly wants to stay in Washington, for Westbrook, trash and cap space the Wiz can't use?

Did you forget the Wiz still have Zingers contract?

They gonna build around him?

Lmfao

 

[trojanfan12]

Would be a good move

If theyhad him this year, they're in the finals. That would be a great pickup for the Heat.

 

[trojanfan12]

Where did I say he did? I'm discussing a trade possibility with a team that actualy is mentioned in having interest in him, that pundits are talking about as a possible (although long shot) destination and pushed back against you using old quotes rather than more recent ones. I never said that he wants to be a Laker.

If I were to make a guess though, he probably would like to stay in a large market. Therer's a reason that these early rumors are around the Knicks, Lakers and Clippers.

This proves exactly what I'm saying. You haven't responded to a thing that I've actually posted. Just what you want to respond to.

Aren't you making assumptions?

If every team wants to offload guys for cap, why are the Wiz giving Beal a max?

Why did the Kings trade for Sabonis?

Why did Orlando pay Issac and Fultz?

Because they have to build thru the draft or trades.

WHY?

Because free agents don't take their money.

Who has the most cap this Summer, the Spurs?

Think they will land Lavine or Beal?

Doubt it.

So, much for cap space.

I'm just repeating your question back to you.

I never said he wanted the Heat culture.

Yet, you still made that leap.

There are rumors about lots of shit.

Doesn't mean it's true.

You are making assumptions that the Wiz want cap space, that Beal would want to leave the Wiz.

How is that any different in this fantasy discussion?

What in particular do you want answered?

Where did I say every team wants to offload guys. I said that every team wants cap space. Can't really continue this discussion if you can't respond to what I've said.

Why did Orlando pay Issac and Fultz?

Because they have to build thru the draft or trades.

WHY?

Because free agents don't take their money.

lol

Yeah, you're right. This proves that absolutely no one wants cap space.

See, I can respond to things not said too.

 

[bksballer89]

We fighting?

 

[trojanfan12]

I'm just repeating your question back to you.

I never said he wanted the Heat culture.

Yet, you still made that leap.

No I didn't. I never mentioned the Heat until you said that's where he'd go.

So again, you're not responmding to anything I posted.

 

[trojanfan12]

There are rumors about lots of shit.

Doesn't mean it's true.

Where did I say it was true?

The only true thing is that there are rumors.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Where did I say it was true?

Where did I?

You are guessing just like me.

 

[trojanfan12]

Where did I?

You are guessing just like me.

I never said thought anything you said was true.

You are making assumptions that the Wiz want cap space, that Beal would want to leave the Wiz.

How is that any different in this fantasy discussion?

What in particular do you want answered?

Again still not responding to what I actually said. I didn't say Beal would want to leave the Wiz. Although, it was reported this morning that he knows where he would like to go, but won't make it public yet (which I like).

Teams wanting cap space isn't exactly a reach.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

No I didn't. I never mentioned the Heat until you said that's where he'd go.

So again, you're not responmding to anything I posted.

I mentioned the Heat as a possible landing spot.

I said it was more realistic than the Lakers because he actually likes Jimmy.

You asked what makes me think he wants to be part of that culture.

I'm saying the same that makes you think he'd accept a trade to LA.

I'm guessing.

Just like you are saying all teams want cap space.

Who the Hell could the Wiz get with max cap space that's better than Beal?
