So basically the most unlikely player to be traded because of his unrelenting power and his iron tight NTC is traded because there was a fake WOJ tweet? So any NTC player was able to be traded then?
Yeah, I have a problem with this too if it was actually allowed as opposed to announced because the Commish couldn’t get online to say “no.” I get trying to be a little lenient to have fun, but as today showed, it’s not like the Cavs were prohibited from making moves for lack of other options.
I guess I should have said Durant was available.
Hey all,
Just want to be crystal clear that I don't expect that Lebron trade to be accepted as final. I expect it to be considered "in review".
I was nervous that the 3pm deadline was approaching and felt with the dead website there was no way that I'd get word back if LBJ would waive his NTC to go to Philly. So I just wanted to put it up there to then be discussed later. Those fake Woj tweets were just me trying to get everybody thinking that maybe he would consider it... I had a planned to unleash a whole arsenal of them before the site crashed.
I figured we'd get some takes out there and then the commish would make a final ruling considering any input from the crowd. I fully accept whatever the commish rules as this was clearly expressed from the beginning of the game. So what are your takes on if LBJ would accept this trade or not?
My honest take is that he would. I think this Philly team is better than his current Cavs team with a better shot to win the title now. Further, Philly will not have the cap space to pursue him as a FA next offseason, but can with his bird rights and this team next year and beyond is certainly more competitive than any team could be which has the cap space to sign him next offseason.
The projected Philly depth chart would be:
Guards: Avery Bradley, JJ Redick, Covington, Luwawu, Calderon
Forwards: Lebron, Simmons (point forward), Covington (super 6th man), Jeff Green, Justin Anderson
Centers: Embiid, Boban, Richaun Holmes
