Sixers got weaker.

[GOLDBLUM]

Sixers got weaker.

And may that remain the case...

[The Claw Reborn]

Predictions:

Lebron will probably stay

Magic Johnson will muck his hand in free agency with PG staying with OKC and Spurs not giving away Kawhi and will go somewhere Eastbound

Ujiri is up to something BIG especially you hear a deafening silence

[Scraptor]

If you guys wants some laughs, read what Lakers fans are writing about Paul George. They're saying stuff like he'll never be able to step foot in LA again lol. I can't help but savor the schadenfreude.

[Scraptor]

Also... if the Lakers strike out on all three players (PG, LeBron, Kawhi), I can see Magic making a desperation move for DeMar. KCP is probably walking and if they send us Deng then it doesn't affect their 2019 cap space too much.

[GOLDBLUM]

Wonder whether, now, having seen the fail of not having traded for PG when they could've last year, whether that compels the Lakes to pony up for Kawhi...

[Hotshot]

Sixers got weaker.

Yep both Bellineli and Ilyasova were Colangelo guys, the Colangelo effect will stink for a bit until the Sixers manage to find an adequate replacement.

DD is set to make $27 million next season.
The current roster of LA. Lakers is only at about $30 million with Deng.
We cant have trade with them.

LAC on the other hand.. Tobias, SGA & Boban is a nice get for DD.

They're way under the cap. We could trade DeMar for nothing but picks if we wanted to. But I assume we would try to take back one of their prospects.

Again, I'm not sure why the Clippers would give us almost exactly the same haul they just got for Blake Griffin. If you read Jerry West's rationale for doing that deal I don't think there's much likelihood of him flipping those assets for another non-franchise-level star.

[Scraptor]

Ersan Ilyasova: three years, 21 million with Milwaukee, which is, I think, the worst signing so far.

Ersan Ilyasova, vacationing in Florida, confirms he has reached an agreement with Bucks on three-year, $21 million deal. Ilyasova, who began his career with the Bucks, chose Milwaukee over Philly, the Lakers, Minnesota and Toronto.

Yeah the ideal Clippers trade has already passed.

Now we hope the Lakers strike out on Kawhi, but get LBJ/Cousins, so have pressure to add a third star. Then they swap their assets and Deng for DeMar.

Lakers should be desperate with George signing in OKC and the Spurs seemingly still resistant to a Leonard trade.

After the Lakers, the trade targets get less obvious for either Raptors star. Philly could still make sense for Lowry, especially if they manage to dark horse their way to signing LBJ. Minny for DeMar (Wiggins plus). Maybe PHX for Lowry if they really do want to try to compete and want a PG? Dallas could make a DeMar move but they don't have the assets left after trading their first for Doncic. Memphis is always a possibility for DeMar. Not sure what the offer looks like.

Either way, plan A is definitely to hope the Lakers get desperate. Would be nice to send DeMar to LA if we are going to trade him, too.

[Rudy Bargnani]

Philly has lost a lot of shooting. Will be interesting to see where JJ ends up.

Also if I’m OKC I’m trying to send Carmello to the Lakers for almost nothing in return. Would save them what, $100 million? If the Lakers are desperate a 1 year contract makes a lot of sense.
