Something to keep in mind if the NBA doesn't resume this year

Imagine being a team that moved future assets for an expiring deadline addition this year

Ainge playing 4D Chess over here lol.

This is assuming the NBA season is cancelled, which I'm assuming based on the 30 day suspension; seems probable at this point.

I don't recall any team giving up anything of significance at the deadline.

I don't recall any team giving up anything of significance at the deadline. 

There wasn't a lot, but:
Clippers gave up some draft pick compensation for expiring Marcus Morris.
Miami traded away Winslow for a 36-year-old Iguodala for a playoff run.  He will be 37 next season.

Bird rights have their value nevertheless. LaC will try to bring back Morris for example.

Lebron loses a shot Tying lakers title count with Celtics

Lebron getting older

76ers get older. What will happen with embiid and simmons? Their contract situation will need To get resolved. Average Als contract now looks worse because no play offs for him until next year


Also I believe we are still the youngest team. Everyone lost a shot at a title but the older teams are going to be slightly worse and we will be slightly better just due to age

I think the suspension hit with the Lakers emerging as clear favorites to win it all, and can see this influencing the league's decision on whether to resume play at some point, even if the season playoffs bleed into late summer.  Of course will require renegotiation of existing TV deals.

Am I being overly cynical?

There were a couple of teams like the Heat/Clippers, but people were suggesting we could give up our 1st round picks and something of value for expiring contracts.

True. The Clippers will only have Non-Bird Rights for Morris (since he went to the Knicks as a FA), but since he's not gonna be looking for more than $18 million (120% of his current salary), it works out to the same thing

The Iggy deal looks much worse

No idea what Pat Riley was thinking honestly... Is Iggy even worth the 1st round pick, let alone Winslow?

Going be hard for players to get back into rhythm once the league start back up, if they do

kinda looks like an excuse to off load him. ( fire) and pretend to get something worth something in exchange just to save face .  Either they are fed up with his progress and just want to move on ,  or they are mighty stupid.

[SHAQATTACK]

wonder how the players will feel about a play off series in August -sept ....so they are out of practice and rhythm as teams , then start up a new 80 plus game season grind in a couple months .

1 less title for lakers and lebron


Let’s be honest. He had the best chance it looked like on paper at least

Remember the Heat shed about $30 million of deadweight salary next year, not including Winslow, as well.  Given how much the salary cap and luxury tax could contract, it might have saved them quite a tax bill next summer.

Also, Winslow literally didn’t play a minute for Memphis this year, and who knows if we’ll even have a full season next year.  I’m not sure that deal worked for either team, but it’s not hard to envision a world where it actually comes out worse for Memphis.

Not if your an alien like LeBron.

The guy is defying expectations of father time.. I mean how can you be 36 this year and still play like an MVP.

Wade retired at age 38 but I honestly still see LeBron averaging 23ppg at that age.

He doesn't even get injured despite the mileage.. Insane.
