  1. Would a team of KD , LBJ, PG13 + vet mins be the favorite to win it all? I would say yes
  2. Pacers can waive/trade Al Jefferson (4 mil guaranteed out of 10 mil) and Collison (2 mil guaranteed out of 10 mil). I'm not saying it is probable (they should keep Collison) but still possible to make room for Gordon.
  3. My wild ass guess before shit goes down this weekend: Mavs - DAJ & Smart Rockets - CP3 & LBJ Spurs - they will just take the bitter pill and trade Kawhi for Ingram & Kuzma. Lakers also get PG13. OKC - dump Melo for another expiring. Westbrook goes for 2nd MVP Cavs - firesale, Love to 76ers/Blazers Warriors - signs Dwight...lol
  4. Lakers - Magic is going for 2 stars, Capela is not that. I think they would just rather keep cap space for next year. Atl - Collins is PF/C; Ind- Myles Turner; 76ers - Emibiid; Kings - WCS, Bagley
  5. If Mavs get DAJ, there shouldn't be any serious suitors left that could offer him more than the MLE right?
  6. I nave a feeling that ESPN wouldnt do this if he is not going to LA
  7. If healthy and not chowing down hot dogs, no reason why he cant be as good as Capela
  8. What are the Cavs fantasy scenarios to help them compete with GSW (if Lebron stays)? Can they get Kawhi with Sexton + extras? Probably not Trade Love back home for Beal, Evan Turner, spare change?
  9. Muhahahaha, would love to see John Wall's reaction to this.
  10. Who will play C for the Wizards? This gives more legs to the Pelicans SnT Cousins for Otto Porter.

    Outside of the tier 1 FA (LBJ, KD, CP3, PG), I would say Gordon is the best available player. Considering that Orlando is not a prime destination and have trouble keeping talent in the past, they should not mess around with a low ball offer . Of the teams with cap space, 76ers/Pacers would have a need at PF and should have interest in AG. While not a max offer, Utah can open up 20 million cap space w/o any trade.

    I just looked at the Magic roster, what a mess. If they sign Gordon to the max (which they should), they are surprisingly close to the luxury tax. Augustin is my fav Longhorn ever but they need a young starting PG. the choices out there arent very appetizing (Schroder, Brandon Knight, who else?)
  13. Good move by the Pacers, they need to go after the $$$ FA or ability to take on big contract for assets. Make sense until they go do something stupid like give Marcus Smart $15 mil/year
  14. They need to airdrop Klose from wherever he is now
  15. Thats pretty much spot on. Jury still out on Uruguay and Russia (playing at home is pretty big) as they have been playing glorified scrimmages. Neymar crying after beating CR tells you everything you need to know about Brazil.
  16. If Melton can just shoot >35% on catch and shoot 3s, he will have a long NBA career. Perfect role next to Harden and should be good in switch everything defense.
  17. I was expecting more trades by now
  18. Great trade by the Mavs, next years draft is weak
  19. If I'm PG and I want the money, I would just ask OKC to do sign and trade. After what happenes with KD, OKC should be glad to get a 1st instead of nothing.
  20. Draymond makes that death lineup work though, maybe KD makes him replaceable but then GSW says that Iggy is THE esential connective tissue, so who the hell knows. If you replace Draymond with PJ Tucker, would they still win 3 championships? If yes, then he is not worth the max.
  21. From Zach Lowe's KD article: Link "In choosing Golden State, Durant (temporarily) forfeited a chance to craft a team in his image. Right now, Durant may be on pace to be the greatest player to never work full-time as the No. 1 option in terms of controlling the ball. (Some Golden State officials and players, including Shaun Livingston, nominated Larry Bird as another tweener forward who fits this description. Others pitched centers -- Shaquille O'Neal, Hakeem Olajuwon -- but even if those guys didn't dribble much, they were indisputably the fulcrums of almost every possession.)" What are they trying to say, he is the best non guard ever? Better than Kareem, Duncan?
  22. I was just reminded that the Mavs helped GSW get KD by taking in Bogut's contract. Because........they needed a center 😆 Reminds me of playing Monopoly and you have that one person that gives up the first color monopoly because he wanted the second utility (Bogut wasn't even that).
  23. How many picks would the Raptors give up just to see Bron goes West?
