2024 NBA Offseason

To get raped by Ainge for a slight upgrade?

No thanks.

What if the rumors are true that they are moving on from Kessler?

Murray is the perceived preferred target, but he had one of his strongest 3pt seasons at 36%. He's been at that level or lower since his rookie year. His defense has faltered since his Spurs days too. I'm fine with either at this point.

Let's just make it all 3: Sexton, Kessler and Markkanen! Take all my picks and swaps, lol.

 

[The Q]

Nope. Maxey cap hold is only 13 and they can bail on Paul Reed’s money. Lauri is only 18 and Bridges 23. Sixers can take on PG13 extension and maintain a cap hold on Maxey and Melton and still take on the trade salary.

Bridges and George are going to be like 70m alone

Embiid over 50

Maxey and Melton 28

They’re over with those

Probably end up with 2 smaller guys than Melton in that case unless the dude gets squeezed out because nba teams are stupid (and they are)

LA will be lucky to get one but you can bank on it not being Lauri!

Well, you’d need to include salary.

Would you rather it be Reaves?

They can’t trade D’lo unless he opts in.

If he’s fully healthy, even with the size difference, I’d prefer Sexton over D Lo, especially at that price point.

If the Lakers are targeting a Center, Rui is probably expendable, even if he’d be a bench luxury.

They are never trading Reaves. I mean he played at Oklahoma.

I understand and embrace the hate for forever Celtic Ainge, but he hasn't really had his fastball of late.

A guy can dream, lol.

They can get one, as it seems Sexton has likely been offered to them.

Not sure what picks you would need to give up for Kessler and Sexton.

But the money works here….

Kessler and Colin for JHS, Rui and Wood.

I don't mind Sexton, depends on what they give up and what they have left for other moves. A DLo trade (if he opts in) would be clean. Maybe just taking protections off of that 2027 pick could substitute for including 17. Maybe it becomes a bigger deal with Kessler (or Lauri - I can hope lol).

Not sure why anyone would mind having him...especially as at best your 3rd-4th best player. still young, efficient shooter and an obscene work ethic.

does need better health.

The money is easy, since all 3 have reasonable or outright cheap contracts. I doubt the Jazz move Lauri regardless of the offer.

They would need to give up #17 and the other tradeable 1st for those two players and Ainge might ask for more lol

Definitely 2 picks.

It's just the persistence of the Murray talk. He's a strong fall-back option, and maybe shouldn't be the fall-back.

Bro,

I’m not even looking at Lauri.

You aren’t getting him…lmfao

Kessler's great, but I don't really like the fit next to AD. Need more of a perimeter threat or he becomes a glorified backup to AD.

Why are you guys discussing Bridges?

I don’t think Philly has enough to trade for Mikal and looks like the Bees are keeping Miles.

Agree.

 

[The Q]

I’d give him that money if Morey can get a deal done with his 4 picks for Lauri or Mikal, Melton cap hold, Batum Lowry resign. Fill
In the rest with minimum guys. I think the hardest piece is the Lauri or Mikal deal. But if they aren’t there, Paul George can’t happen and they need to use the cap better around Maxey Embiid.

Bc in Philly it is like fairytale land. We finally have cap space, we get everyone
