2020 nba offseason draft free agency etc

the aldridge to warriors rumors are really bumming me out

hes a bad fit for the woarriors and also bad

hes a good fit and hes still good

hmm

Houston's James Harden remains committed to the Rockets and is "locked in" for the season, sources tell @KellyIkoNBA and me.

he's a ~40% 3 pt shooter who can defend anthony davis. they need size against the lakers or they may never sniff the finals in the splash era.

xp

lma is still good at basketball things. he's not a good 'first option' guy now. GS doesn't need him to be.

right. and his contract expires this year. if they can unload wiggins, theyll save tens of millions of dollars in luxury tax next year.

Harden went off the grid on a spirit quest to perfect the one-legged 3.

haven't seen the rumor, what is the trade construction that gets lamarcus to the warriors?

i like lamarcus still ... he started shooting threes and pretty well last year. i think he still has valuable minutes left as a role player

a role player you say! (checks his contract)

what does LMA bring to the warriors that they lack?

size and stretch 5 skills, pick n pop partner

LA's making $24M with a trade kicker (i think 15%) if he's dealt, so itll be ~$27.5M for 1 year

i mean if the warriors could get him for close to nothing and didn't care about the luxury tax i'd say sure go for it.

i'm w m bison on this one. the problem is what you do w/ him on defense assuming he's not really capable of anchoring an nba defense anymore. but he's a 7 foot multi time all star who shot 39% from three and is on a 1 year deal, if i was a contender i think i would be interested

miami is an interesting landing spot too. olynyk+iggy+#20 works.

i don't think he and bam really fit

its questionable, but think of aldridge as an upgrade over olynyk as a stretch 5. iguodala might be unplayable next year, so you're really giving up the #20 pick to get more talent for a run this season

yeah i am very sorry but that doesn't get me excited

i am not here to excite u, i am the mod, i moderate

well you are proposing very "moderate" trades

Warriors don’t need to be slowing the pace they need wings Wiggins is a way better fit. Warriors best lineup is dray at the 5 so do things that make that lineup the best it can be then fill in the rest

i get that but also they will lose to the lakers and spend over half a billion dollars the next 3 seasons doing that

yeah that's going to happen no matter what the warriors do

Dray guards brow prob as good as anyone

xp if thats the case they need to dump wiggins quickly or they will be paying something like $75M in luxury tax in 21-22

it's not what you want

there cld be a trade for wiggins and #2 that puts them over the top, thats what id be looking for

what if it's...russ lol

i dont think thats it... although i would def watch

doesnt even have to be for a star cld bring back multiple guys to fill out the team

its def not russ who is destined to fill his stat sheet on some terrible team next year

wiggins and #2 for durant lol

i'm still a firm believer in the westbrook--blake--john wall blockbuster depression go-round trade

having a hard time imagining what the rockets can do to keep harden interested in this team

sign a stripper to play center

lol

lmao

that oladipo stuff is a bad look wow

espn talking westbrook to the knicks which seems dumb enough to happen

its destiny

averaging a triple double on a 35 win team seems like Westbrook's calling

luckily the ny media would be very nice to him so it'll be a low stress situation

hopefully the harden and russ era of the nba has made a bunch more folks realize that counting stats don't matter
