Trade deadline thread

@megalodon30 Loves it because basketball players meeting his ideological view is way more important than winning games.

Indeed. Kings suck either way. I’d rather suck with players that don’t hate America.

Yea...Harden is 33 years old and wants a mega extension. Not getting the cheap talented core

Honestly, I don't know what is going with Lillard and how serious his injury is but I would wait it out for the summer if there is a slight chance for Lillard. Better option than Harden, plus in general more options in the summer will pop up

Haliburton is the Kings' best player and is only 21 years old. WTF, Kings??

Fox is better than Halliburton. No knock on him though, kid is really good,

Halliburton is better. Fox is so inefficient and doesn't pass the ball as well as Halliburton.

Or maybe I just have a hard on for Haliburton because I am wishing in hindsight that the Warriors would've drafted him instead of James Wiseman. But I really do like him better than Fox.

So you are on Team Haliburton with me over Team Fox? I always knew that we were two of the smarter people here.

The problem is that the teams that are only looking to put butts in the seats probably don't have 40 million dollars worth contracts they could/would deal to get Westbrook.

It could be done, but the Knicks would need to REALLY want cap space in 23/24 lol.

They would give Randle away at this point. It's the only team that makes sense bc they are dumb + they have bad contracts.

The Lakers would have to suffer from taking back two bad contracts but will that make up for Westbrook?

Fournier, Randle, Kemba for RW, Bazemore + 1st(s)

If that isn't enough they would have to throw in THT for another contract

Fox will put up more points by high usage inefficient play. Haliburton is better.

Only need to get to 80% in theory

Lakers need to match or get less salary back to keep from being hard capped I believe.

Yeah that would be tough and big trade like you presented. Not gonna happen but if one team did it, the Knicks would do it for future cap space

 

[shopson67]

True but is Kemba, Fournier and say filler enough to give up on RW. I mean those are better fits but that is another huge risk bc if it fails, upper management is gone

Win/win to many Lakers fans

Probably would be better not to take back that outrageous Randle contract too

Yeah. Obviously you never know with the Knicks but they seem to be acting more responsibly in recent years. Hard to imagine they would shoot the moon on a possible FA in 2 years.

Without Randle and THT in the deal, it's tough to make salaries work. Lakers would have to bring in other teams to unload some depth players.

Agreed. I had seen something similar to that posted trade elsewhere, but it's definitely ridiculous.
