Everything Trade Chatter

[c-troop]

Naysayers are quick to play the "lack of chemistry" card .

I really love the Nerlens Noel trade.

The Mavs were dead in the water last year. No young players to be excited about, late 1st rd picks, an aging superstar in Nowitzki. Then bam! they got Harrison Barnes in the summer who's a STUD, been a fan of him since his UNC days. Now they have Noel. They probably would end up drafting in the top 10 this year. All of a sudden they have a new solid, exciting new core of players.

How dare you not mention my man Yogi. But yeah i kinda like what they are doing.

Rare for Masai to trade picks, wonder if he plans on getting some back with cojo/dmc/jv in the offseason.

So we traded Ross, Sullinger, a 1st and two 2nds for Ibaka and Tucker

We traded Greivis, Ross, Sully, 2nds for norm, Tucker, Ibaka.

Is tucker going to supplant Carrol in the starting lineup?

[psrs1]

Pretty good trade.. was hoping for just one 2nd rounder.. but 2nd rounders in the high 50's are typically garbage anyway.

In agreement. Not in love with Tucker but Sullinger gave us nothing.

Is tucker going to supplant Carrol in the starting lineup?

Probably not, but supplant Carroll in crunch time.

Lowry-Derozan-Tucker-Patterson-Ibaka

Good god man DEFENSE, shooting, and 2 all stars.

[JamesNaismith]

I would love if we could now convince Bogut to join us and not the damn Cavs.

They are also going to get deron williams.

We have 7 guys on rookie contracts. The last thing we need is more picks

[Machine]

Probably not, but supplant Carroll in crunch time.

Lowry-Derozan-Tucker-Patterson-Ibaka

Good god man DEFENSE, shooting, and 2 all stars.

That could be a great closing lineup!

[Mindlessness]

Bobby Marks having a boner over the Raps moves. Masai clearly won the trade deadline... and it really wasn't close.

I'd say New Orleans beat him... unexpectedly, but still beat him.

[thead]

This was a great trade deadline for us.

...

Deals we may likely have to sign to keep it together for longer than three months

Lowry 4x30ish
Ibaka 4x 20ish
Patterson 3x12ish
Tucker 3x10ish

We are going into the tax and our window is here.

[Machine]

Any chance Tucker plays tomorrow?

[KeonClark]

This was a great trade deadline for us.

...

Deals we may likely have to sign to keep it together for longer than three months

Lowry 4x30ish
Ibaka 4x 20ish
Patterson 3x12ish
Tucker 3x10ish

We are going into the tax and our window is here.

By my estimation (I'm giving Lowry 30 million, Ibaka 25, Patterson 15), roughly 143 million next year with EVERYBODY except Tucker (assume he's a rental). 122 is the no fly zone tax line? Subtract Joseph and Carroll somehow, shaves 22 million. Boom.

Lowry-Wright
Derozan-Powell
Powell-Caboclo
Ibaka-Patterson
Valanciunas-Bebe

Damnit we still need a small forward

Biggest negotiating advantage Raps have with all 4 guys is ability to offer 5 years. I'd bet any of them that are back get 5 years, and a player option in the 5th, to reduce the annual amount a bit.
