Yeah, borderline/all-stars on teams not making the playoffs are automatic targets in the offseason, almost by default. Raps are prolly doing their due-diligence...

[inthepaint]

I think you're right in that with Nurse there will be a "pecking order". There are sad recent precedents for that, and him playing favourites....

[inthepaint]

I joined 4 years ago. I check other boards but this right here is the cream of the crop. That's the only one I actually post. The depth of the insights...

[inthepaint]

i think it would take a lot more to pry Lillard out of Portland than Siakam out of TOR. Doesn't mean we should sell low on Siakam though....

[inthepaint]

I agree, trading pascal now would be selling low. He's not untouchable, but you want the chance to see his value grow back by playing at home again. That...

1. Cade
2. Green
3. Mobley
4. Suggs
5. Bouknight
6. Kuminga
7. Moody
8. Wagner

Who would you give up to move up?...

[inthepaint]

I think the Cavs are getting too much on this one and Raps not enough my man - have the cavs send us a 2022 FRP instead of the other way around and we'll...

[inthepaint]

Fine, I'll play:

To Philly: Kyle Lowry, a FRP from the Raptors and a FRP from Cleveland
To Cleveland: Ben Simmons and Rodney Hood...

[inthepaint]

I don't buy it, but I guess we'll find out soon enough. If true, may as well trade down. I think the Magic would gladly give up 5 and 8 to move up to...

Bouknight>Kuminga>Moody>Wagner>Kispert>Barnes.

Barnes reminds me of Luwawu-Cabarrot....

[inthepaint]

Nobody knows what was offered. All we had was rumors, most of them saying the asking price was high, as it should have been, as Lowry is a starting point...

[inthepaint]

My order of preferred Lowry outcomes this offseason (best to worst):

1. He's the ballast on a trade that includes other assets from us that...

[inthepaint]

I would do this too in this scenario, but if that were to happen, that means one of the consensus top 4 would also be available at #5 for the Magic....

[inthepaint]

Lonzo is alright. He's not a star, but he's a good defender, now has a respectable 3pt shot (spaces the floor), and has good court vision. I think he's...

[inthepaint]

This is it right here. The game has never been more popular worldwide. People are engaged not only during game time, but long after, talking about it...

[inthepaint]

Unfortunately AC, I think we are. Pascal and Fred can both indeed put 23+ like you say, but with the way our team is built, they'll do it inefficiently...

[inthepaint]

Green with enough touches, and Bouknight/Tre Mann later in the draft (all a with some risk to bust though, like everyone in the draft)...

[inthepaint]

True, but with Dame there it's more likely free agents will fall on their laps. Beal, Butler, Lavine are all free agents in 2022, then the year after...

[inthepaint]

Just curious, what player(s) would you guys hypothetically give up to "trade up"? Unless it's one of the guys we're currently waiving anyway...
