Can Timelord's blocks on him possibly hurt his feelings?

I think NOP should go after Zion, wait for the lottery and try and trade with whoever get the 1st pick.
Might also be worth it to see if Dallas would do Luka for AD. but Dallas probably says no.

.... umm, what?
....umm, whats the problem?

According to Woj on SportsCenter earlier, Klay would be really interested in the Lakers if LA deals for AD and open up a close-to-max slot in FA. And this is also presuming that GS doesn't offer Klay the full max.

It'd be crazy to think that a hypothetical starting like up could be:

MLE Centre
Davis
James
Thompson
Rondo

You'd have to think the addition by subtraction of Thompson plus Davis would make the Lakers the favourites for the title.
we really should have kept rondo for life

his game has aged fairly well. And he plays great with elite players

I think the main reason he didn't get along with Stevens was the losses. But losses come with any rebuilding team

I am really glad we don't have Rondo anymore. I like Smart and Irving as my starting backcourt just fine. Don't want his "I don't play defense in the regular season" attitude on my team.

New Orleans Pelicans general manager Dell Demps is reportedly not yet ready to engage in trade talks regarding disgruntled star Anthony Davis.

According to ESPN.com's Dave McMenamin, a source said Demps is "not picking up his phone."

Well, this seems to be a good sign that NOLA will make a smart decision and wait until the summer before seriously considering trade offers.

Honestly, I'm expecting an announcement soon that Dell Demps is getting fired. It just makes no sense for NOLA to allow him to execute a trade of such magnitude when it's clear his days there are numbered.

But the Chris Paul trade went so well.

Looking at his transaction history, the man loves three-way trades:

He's done eight trades with 3+ teams since 2010, plus the voided CP3-Lakers-Rockets deal.

Scott Kushner: Anthony Davis is expected to address the media in New Orleans tomorrow afternoon. It will be his first comments since requesting a trade.

My unnamed sources close to the team tell me it's to show off the shamrock tattoo he just got done.

How about Hayward, Tatum, Baynes, Bird all the picks they want for Holiday and Davis?

Irving, Holiday, Brown, Davis, Horford
Smart, Semi, Yabu, Williams

Also, here's a question. Since we can't trade for Davis until after the draft, but say we came to an agreement prior and drafted the players they wanted, would those drafted players' salaries count towards matching purposes now that they are no longer draft picks? If so, that could mean we could possibly keep Smart, correct?

For the drafted players' salaries to count, the C's would have to sign them, wait 30 days, then trade them.

This is what Cleveland did with Andrew Wiggins to get Love (though at the time they drafted him, they were picking Wiggins for themselves and not for a trade).

Rookies can be (and usually always are) signed for 120% of the rookie scale, which you can find here, so just take 120% of whatever number is listed to get the salary for trade purposes.

Would require like a 7-for-1 trade to make it happen (unless the C's luck out and land #2 + #9), so possible yes, likely no.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

They can’t be traded until 30 days after they sign their contract, but otherwise yes.

We may have as few as two first rounders (and as many as four) so the projected outgoing salary varies wildly.

In terms of how those salaries could factor in, here’s a post I made awhile ago, with some pick projections that are currently out of date:

Quote
Tatum:  $7.8 million

11th:  $2.8 million
15th:  $2.3 million
20th:  $1.8 million
25th:  $1.5 million

Total:  $8.4 million

Combined, that's $16.4 million.

Throw in Yabu.  That's another $3.1 million.

So, $19.5 million.  Throw in Williams.  That gets us to $21.4 million.

So, with some variance on the draft picks, we can probably get to where we need to be [$21.6 million]

Under those circumstances, we could get away without including Smart or Jaylen.  But, that’s very unlikely.

I wonder if the best case for the Celtics is that Gordon Hayward comes out of the All Star break on fire, looks great and looks like his old self during the playoffs and a run to the Finals and then becomes an asset that can be directed to a third team, who send more assets to New Orleans along with the Celtics' host of picks.

I know trading Hayward feels weird but that feels like the cleanest move to me on paper.

You're using 2019 rookie scale here instead of 2020.  Plus you didn't gross them up to 120%.   The rookies are actually worth more.  The sun keeps shining here!
