Rusell headed to Brooklyn, Brooke Lopez to the Lakers

[The Oldtimer]

Boston and Phoenix have the assets. But I wouldn't do it if I were either of them.

What assets? What players would either Boston or Phoenix offer in a trade for George?

What assets? What players would either Boston or Phoenix offer in a trade for George?

Suns:

* Bledsoe ( realistically off limits )
* Booker ( same as Bledsoe )
* Warren ( I wouldn't do it )
* Knight ( Pacers wouldn't do it )

Celtics:

* Crowder ( I wouldn't do it )
* Bradley ( same as Crowder )
* Smart ( maybe )

 

[The Oldtimer]

Depends on the team that wants to rent him...
IND might be using CLE to up the ante for LAL.

Who does the Cavs have to offer the Pacers for Geroge? Do you really think the Pacers want George in the East?

Suns:

* Bledsoe ( realistically off limits )

* Warren ( I wouldn't do it )
* Knight ( Pacers wouldn't do it )

Celtics:

* Crowder ( I wouldn't do it )
* Bradley ( same as Crowder )
* Smart ( maybe )

IMO, the Celtics wouldn't give up Bradley for a loaner. Also I don't think the Pacers want George in the East.

Yup.

Now if it was for Jimmy Butler, then I might stay on the phone for awhile and hear it out.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

I feel kinda bummed for Lin too. It's always gotta be something that derails him.

To be fair, its usually his own injuries

 

[Black Adam]

* Bledsoe ( realistically off limits )

Celtics:

* Smart ( maybe )

yeah...

i don't see either of those scenarios happening...

sorry, bro...

True. Especially last year. All of those hamstring injuries was ridiculous.

Lol. He asked what assets. I wouldn't give up any of those players either.

 

[LALakersboy24.7]

Thank you. I know Brooklyn don't like snitches though!

 

[Davis_Mike]

And what do those teams have to offer the Pacers, for a guy that will be with them for only a year?

Again, there are no guarantees he stays or leaves, but winning & money tend to change people's initial choices. Plus the Suns have young players & a high draft pick. If the Lakers are not willing to part with the #2 pick, the Celtics & Suns have a lot more assets for a trade.

 

[Davis_Mike]

Suns:

* Bledsoe ( realistically off limits )
* Booker ( same as Bledsoe )
* Warren ( I wouldn't do it )
* Knight ( Pacers wouldn't do it )

Celtics:

* Crowder ( I wouldn't do it )
* Bradley ( same as Crowder )
* Smart ( maybe )

And high draft picks.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

And high draft picks.

Agreed.

But I'm not sure if you dangle picks with Knight the Pacers would take him on. He's so bad.

 

[LogicMan]

Its amazing to me how far down the value chart JLo went since being drafted. The deal IMO seems logical for both teams now. That Mozgov deal will go down as one of the stupidest FA deals.

I like Lopez, and if his contract was cap friendly this would be a great deal by LA. Magic has to be thinking he is getting Lebron. Cavs fans will be the losers here.

Nets will be worse next year without lopez so its all good for the Celtics

 

[Inimical]

Love it!

Brooklyn is not looking to compete apparently?

That pick is a steal imo.

 

[Black Adam]

Agreed.

But I'm not sure if you dangle picks with Knight the Pacers would take him on. He's so bad.

all this armchair GMing makes me wanna play some NBA2K17 now...

 

[Davis_Mike]

Agreed.

He's not bad, just one dimensional. A younger version of Jamal Crawford. They could send the #4 pick, Knight, Len, & Warren. That is a better offer than the gutter trash of failed former first round picks & those late first round picks.

 

[Inimical]

Brooklyn has a habit of trading for players that are solid but not special. Oh wait, @LogicMan Brooklyn did once didnt they?

 

[Vitamike]

Also,

Can't give up Clark when depth is needed at the one with a rookie at the helm.

 

[Four4Four]

it just goes to show you the true value of a top 3 pick is worth not valuing. these dudes come into the NBA not polished, teenage bodies and lacking fundamental skills.
