Where will Lilliard get traded to?

[trojanfan12]

Team friendly contract right?

Of course. Everybody wants to be a Laker and everybody eventually is. Sometimes they have to give up a little money for the privilege.

Over/under 1.5 seasons before Embiid becomes a Laker?

 

[The Q]

Simmons doesn't need a mentor. He needs a guy with enough cache to put his foot in Ben's ass and say " nah homeboy you're not going out. You're going to the gym to work on your game or your ass will be buried on the bench "

Unfortunately for Ben there aren't many guys like that in the league

He needs to get sent to the Spurs to work with the best shooting coach of all time

Actually that’s Jimmy Butler and Jimmy already showed the world his opinion on Ben when he bolted for Miami.

Edit: referring to the comment that Ben needs somebody who can put a foot up his ass.

I was gonna say…lol

But yes, however, didn’t philly not offer the max?

Over.

With Simmons and Dame both coming to the Lakers, there won't be room for him until Lebron leaves.

 

[DJ]

Agree. As an example, because the Lakers pick is #22 Lake Show Life on Fansided had an article listing the 5 best #22 picks in NBA history. Here is who they came up with:

5. Kenneth Faried
4. Jared Dudley
3. Mason Plumlee
2. Norm Nixon
1. Truck Robinson

Those are all nice players that will help your team. None of them come close to Lillard or Simmons. That's the level of player you can hope to add picking in the 20's.

I can't believe Faried fell off as much as he did....

He started to decline at the same time players of his skill set were staring to be devalued.

Bad timing.

Nah. Philly was willing to do what it took from the contract perspective. He didn’t want to play with Ben or with Brett Brown

 

[Moab]

Why not ask yourself the real question, is he willing to play 2nd fiddle to win a title? If he is, then he'll go where he should, if he isn't then he'll end up somewhere where he and the team bow out in the 1st or 2nd round.

wow.

didn’t know that. So two teams In season Picked a young kid who couldn’t shoot over butler….

 

[Draft Crazy]

He will stay with Portland.

 

[Ojb81]

Knicks

 

[WiggyRuss]

I agree. I just picked Miami because I can see Riles wanting to make an offer and like them as a WC.

i did see someone thinks Miami could trade for him- Bam, Herro and firsts

but I dont think he gets traded at all.

 

[WiggyRuss]

It wouldn't because the Lakers don't have the kind of 1st round picks that the Blazers would want and picks in the 20's ain't it.

not only that but you still owe 1st rounders too NEw Orleans- I am not even sure if the LAkers COULD trade first round picks-

they would go out till like 2035. lol. not sure if thats even legal

 

[WiggyRuss]

I’m seeing that they have $25 million in cap space. That would be the range of a Lowry John Collins DeRozan Drummond based on who is available in FA. Not sure that Dame Randle plus one of above is better constructed than Dame McCollum Nurkic. But it is in the East. Maybe that would be appealing to him.

plus the players that New York would have to give up to get Dame

which they just dont have any kind of enticing package.

quickly obi knox and like 5 first rounders

The spurs could offer Murray white and 12 to start their Part of the convo.

they even have the cap space to eat Jones’s useless ass

Yeah, based on what I've seen in some of the mock trades, they have a couple they can use (or at least they can use this seasons). But that's the problem. Assuming they stay healthy, this is likely the highest draft pick they'll have for a few years. Picks in the 20's ain't getting anyone a Dame level player. I'm not sure it could get them Dame if the trade involved AD. lol
