They'll make the playoffs this year I think, may even get home court. The team still has 7 rotation players with lots of deep playoff experience, all...

I have no idea what's actually gonna be, this time of year before training camp everything is really up in the air. What I would like to see though (which...

Not gonna lie, that one is a head scratcher. Loyd/Lin role I guess so neither here nor there

[inthepaint]

Actually, I started the thread looking more at other examples/big picture over the past few years. I'm actually with you on this recent Paul George move,...

lol Yeah I saw that too, these reporters man, the cringeness have reached new heights lately. it's like "you had ONE job"... Don't even know...

[inthepaint]

Agree, I think any deal that didn't involve Siakam on our end, or Wall on their end, you do it. Of course that's exactly what the Wizards would be looking...

Pacers and Heat...

3rd to 5th with the roster as is. If one or two out of Lowry/Gasol/Ibaka is out by the trade deadline, 7th to 9th. Either way it will a good re-calibration...

Yeah this type of contracts don't lend themselves well to longer deals, they'd be better suited for shorter 2-3 year deals. 5 years is too long in the...

When a top player asks to be traded out mid-contract to a specific...

Miller really coming out of the shell. Besides the deadly corner 3 and tenacious D he was already known to have, showed some put back dunks, ball handling,...

[inthepaint]

Yeah I could see something like that working. Cap space is really valuable in the NBA, so that could help offset the loss of a top player under contract....

[inthepaint]

That's right, which is why almost every year lately you got either a player being moved against his will, or a top player (non free agent) asking out...

Kid's a pure shooter. Release is very quick and accurate, and the stroke looks the same from his Iowa days all the way through Euro league, which is what...

Here's how you do it:

On tampering: Ignore it.
On contracts: Enforce it.

Nothing can be done about tampering. Nothing...

Here's something to consider too we comparing "team traded player without him wanting it" vs "player asked to be traded out without the...
