AD narrows it down to two teams

[Gman]

I’m pretty sure One of Hayward or al has to go in a Conley deal to match salaries.

But the trade machines online aren’t updated yet so I can’t be 100% sure.

You may be right:

Is Mike Conley a viable backup plan for C's?

It would be close.

Smart, baynes, gy, big swat bob and semi. I think they’re short.

You plan on keeping Terry?

Or, would he be part of the Davis deal?

Rubio wouldn't be a bad replacement for Smart.

 

[blazer prophet]

^ Right.

This is totally where I'm at, as well.

And the C's have options even if they lose Kyrie. For example, they can go after Mike Conley to fill that slot.

A fab five of Conley / Brown / Hayward / AD / Horford is an instant title contender too.

The only problem I have with this is that the Pelicans demand 2 first round picks: The Pelicans have reportedly set the asking price for Anthony Davis

You plan on keeping Terry?

If the C's convince Kyrie to stay, Rozier is 100% gone.

If Kyrie is gone... Rozier is a possibility... but he it not an ideal starter on a title contender after last season... and frankly, I'm kinda done with him.

the problem is, how are you replacing him. With a MLE point guard?

I mean, I love me some Shabazz, and he proved he could play on a good team during his run in portland, but he's not the ideal starter for a team with a title aspirations.

The choices aren't thrilling, which is why I was pumping the Conley possibility.

Looking at that list, who is realistically taking the MLE?

Maybe Rose?

I love Beverly. But he's gonna get paid. Even if it's a big one year deal JJ Reddick style a few years ago or KCP with the lakers last year to preserve cap space.

Looking at that list and cross-referencing it with who is actually sign-able from a cap stand point, and I'm back to Scary Terry.

Woj says NO wants a deal in place soon.

 

[DJ]

So you think Boston will still offer a package that includes multiple picks and Tatum?

Nope.

WHAT? My source buckalis said he wasn’t getting traded

[DJ]

WHAT? My source buckalis said he wasn’t getting traded

He's the new Dorian.

 

[Black Adam]

WHAT? My source buckalis said he wasn’t getting traded

ah, well if HE said it, take that shiznit to the bank...

 

[Black Adam]

He's the new Dorian.

nah, the old Dorian still drops by...

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Anyway the Pelicans can get multiple teams into the deal and end up with the 3rd and 4th pick???

 

[DJ]

nah, the old Dorian still drops by...

Rarely, because James isn't playing.

The picks are owned by the Knicks and Lakers

Neither team is going to give up their pick to help another team get AD

The unfortunate injury to Durant means he probably exercises his player option and stays with the Warriors next year.

This hurts the Knicks big time who were one of the biggest front runners to sign him.
