2020 nba offseason draft free agency etc

it's a really weird situation. like, lowe and windhorst were talking about it so openly the day before the draft and i think they both just shrugged and said "hey, it's a crazy compressed calendar, i guess we're not really doing tampering this year." it seems like the bucks and kings were operating under that assumption and someone else disagreed?

the people who are getting fucked are irsan ilyasova, who went from a $7M contract for next season to no nba job, and robin lopez, who declined a $5M option because he was probably told he might be in this trade.

Crazy that the thunder got a first round pick for Oubre after hearing that he was actually a negative asset on ILH

lol matt nobody said that

also the warriors have to be a bottom-10 team for that pick to convey which is in play but it's not exactly an ironclad first

Really weird thing I’m seeing is this idea that Dennis Schroeder brings toughness to a team

maybe hes been storing it up

you haven't seen how crazy he gets, man

just send over myles turner and we will all move on with our lives

Indiana continues to explore sign-and-trade pathways to try acquire Gordon Hayward from Boston, league sources say

The Knicks, as covered here yesterday, remain a suitor for Hayward with their salary-cap space

this guy with 78 followers knows whats up

Good possibility that a deal between the Celtics and Pacers gets done tonight. Gordon Hayward for Myles Turner and Doug McDermott, per source.

lol anthony davis just torturing the lakers for sport

ESPN Sources: Anthony Davis is on course to return to the Lakers, but don't expect a formal commitment in the immediate hours and days after free agency opens. Davis will take time to consider the structure and length of a new max contract. https://t.co/nHBQfBGwJq

preferable for the players to newark or louisville or wherever they were talking about.

youre in florida, central florida, but hey the weather is still nice

shdve done seattle

Kansas City!

I feel like the pacers would have to make another move if they trade Turner for hayward. But maybe they make TJ Warren a smallball 4?

everyone is saying their coach is a smallball type, tho mb the celtics cld send a bigman back

enes kanter is good at rebounds and wld look great in yellow!

bigball

getting myles turner for a player who doesn't want to be in boston anyway seems like a real boon for the celtics

i agree that it would be good even if hayward is the clearly better player of the two

i tire of his antics (being injured all the time, having lame vibes)

tho if they do make a trade i could easily see dipo coming back instead as ainge is very much in the dont pay for centers camp, which tbh is reasonable, but dipos injury/contract situation is very dicey, also youd just be adding him to the celtics logjam on the wing which is basically haywards problem

turner's salary is pretty reasonable & he will prob maintain trade value. i also think he can play in the playoffs -- he's not a huge impact player but for a team like boston that has more than enough on offense, his ability to protect the rim and space the floor would be pretty useful. i thought he was pretty good in the first round vs the heat

yeah imo he wld be a great fit and has the celtics mindtype

250 person party, cool cool cool

the ball family remains undefeated

i agree that it would be good even if hayward is the clearly better player of the two

is he tho?

if healthy pretty easily

big if

yeah i mean otherwise prob this deal isnt being talked about

trade agreement involving "Gordon Hayward" and "Myles Turner" sounds like UK politics thread

lol

Portland is acquiring Boston's Enes Kanter in a three-way deal with Memphis, sources tell ESPN. Memphis gets Mario Hezonjia and 30th pick (Desmond Bane) from draft night deal as part of trade too. Celtics get a future Memphis draft consideration.

congratulation portland enes is back

lagoonstradamus, is this a preliminary move to a hayward sign and trade for a big

or just Danny in withdrawal from the old days of overflowing extra draft picks

i suspect they are trying to trade for myles turner but even if they dont get him are prob confident they can get a cheap kanter replacement

"Boston and Indiana have been talking trade for the last couple days." 👀

may it be so

wld be funny if all this buzz around an indy trade was actually about tj warren, which tbh wld make sense if you examine the celtics bench

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EnSSt3EXYAEALZa?format=jpg&name=small

tj could play on any team. just plug n play that dude for 20ppg. bench or starter, position 2-4 doesnt matter

good guy to have around guy
