Klay Thompson's Dad says Love to GSW (rumor/offer)

[fairweatherfan]

@Fafnir: I'm aware of what happens on draft day. Draft day deals are different because you are no longer dealing with a future draft.  I'm talking about a team openly leaking reports in advance of the draft talking about how they're going to circumvent a rule preventing them from trading future draft picks.

Not to be overly technical but I believe it's a future draft pick until the moment it's made.  You can't trade those in consecutive years no matter how close it is to when the pick is due, but you can agree in advance - often on draft day but sometimes before - to trade the rights of the player taken with that pick.  It's a bit nitpicky but I believe it's that fine of a difference.  And it's never been problematic from the league's end that I'm aware of.

[D.o.s.]

Firstly, I'm quite aware of what the Stepien Rule is, so don't assume I'm ignorant on that front, thanks.  Secondly, if you actually bothered to look at Minnesota's draft pick status, you'd know that due to protections on the pick they owe to Phoenix, the year it will be conveyed is variable, therefore they cannot trade any future first round draft picks period until they transfer that pick to Phoenix.  The Stepien Rule has nothing to do with this at all.  But good effort.

Yeah that's not actually true, because they're not trading picks, they're trading players. Does that make you the "Good Job..." half of the equation?

Finally: cool, a list of the Lakers trading draft picks in draft day deals.  I'm not sure what that has to do with anything I'm talking about, though.  Unless you're telling me there were reports coming out days in advance of the draft about how the Lakers, knowing they couldn't trade away their first rounder in said draft, were going to pick a player for a specific team and then went on to do just that.

That's exactly what happened, within rational reason. The execution may have been slightly different, but the result was the same.

There's nothing illegal about it. That's what we're telling you.

What is iggy saying no deal?

The plot thickens..

[RJ87]

Aaron Gordon era begins?

Depressing thinking about it.

Isn't it? And then when you think about the image of overweight Sullinger struggling to run up the court in the 4th quarter, it just makes it so much worse. Spectacularly depressing.

Sullinger will lose the weight. Again nothing has happened, let's calm down.

[Smokeeye123]

Wait.

They're giving up the best player in the deal AND a lottery pick.

 

Do you think love is worth thompson and lee alone??

Lee is a pretty good pf.

I can't even take you seriously anymore. Are you really this biased against Love?  You're irrational hatred for him is either terribly misinformed or one of the more impressive pieces of performance art of I've ever seen

then don't.  I know your sad about this but it will turn out for the best.

I wonder if Rondo is on his way out next

If rondo goes the celtics will be horrible to watch for the next 3 years minimum, seriously who would want that?

You should become a Bucks fan.

Are you even a Celtics fan, or just a really dedicated troll?

With Rondo the past 2 seasons the Celtics have been horrible. With him being the main guy

can you stop rolling the highlights from the 2008-2011 playoffs 247 and fast forward to the present

NBA RUMORS: Mychal Thompson hears Kevin Love & Kevin Martin to Golden State for David Lee, Klay Thompson & a future # 1 (on @ESPNLA710)
1:46 PM - 19 Jun 2014

Apparently he has a radio show out there.....

This makes more sense than the #1 some have going to GSW from the Wolves!

Given that he's struggled with weight throughout college career, I highly doubt one offseason is going to transform his body into a carbon copy of David West. But it's cool. The fatter the Sully, the harder the tank.

It'll take time, but it's not like he'll gain even more weight. Though I would like to see him gain weight through muscle.

[LarBrd33]

Good for Golden State.  HOnestly at this point, the best course of action for Boston appears to be...

#1 - Hope that Embiid is out for a season... trade up to secure his services.  Most teams will not want to go the Philly/Noel route, but Boston can.

#2 - Trade Rondo for additional young assets.

#3 - Hang onto the rest of the youth... tank again and see what we have next Summer.

Tanking again, great

There are no quick fixes.  That would be the best plan of action probably.

Draft day deals are done prior to the day of the draft and leaked frequently.

Totally aware.  But I just want to see precedence of a team that couldn't technically do a deal involving a specific pick leaking that beforehand.  Not just deals contingent on the draft, but deals that literally could not be done until a player was selected and that pick was no longer in the future.

Yeah that's not actually true, because they're not trading picks, they're trading players. Does that make you the "Good Job..." half of the equation?

Obviously they're trading players once the player is picked.  That has nothing to do with the fact that the Wolves can't trade their 2014 draft pick.  The Wolves agreeing before draft day to pick someone for the Warriors and then trading him to them is circumventing that.  There is no way at all that is legal.

And so you're telling me around June 20th, 2009, there was a report out of the Lakers camp that they were going to draft Toney Douglas and trade him to the Knicks?  And then that happened five days later?  Yeah, no, neither Google nor Silver Screen and Roll are supporting that assertion.  And the other trades you listed don't apply since those picks were all traded away long before they were actually used in drafts; the Lakers didn't select anyone for those teams.

you don't want to give the current lineup a chance, then you say negative stuff like Sully will never lose weight. 

Sully will come into shape for next season.   You think he is at taco bell right now or something.

If you put in the effort and workout properly your body is going to change

We arent tanking no matter what... DA knows better than anyone that if they dont make the playoffs this year, Rondo will leave in a heartbeat... Love or no Love, Ainge must put together a team ATLEAST capable of the playoffs... Either way to have a chance in the offseason of 2015 we must show that we are capable of putting together a competitive team..
