Please.

I’m all for an east version of Portland

 

Charlotte would have to be ecstatic getting rid of Batum's deal AND adding someone of Beal's caliber. Their frontcourt would be a bit of a mess, but maybe they go with three guards to make it work.

I can't see a scenario where Rozier is with Boston next year. That ship sailed when Kyrie declared his desire to stay a Celtic and they paid Smart. Ainge might decide to keep him through the season, though, as I think he helps them more than whoever they'd probably be able to land in a trade. Or maybe he tries to package him with Hayward?

 

Why would the wizards do that? Is the price that low on beal??

 

I think it’s more on what teams feel okay parting with.

If the Lakers called Washington and laid out Kuzma and whatever young player they would take that in a heartbeat.

I don’t think the Hornets could land him without trading some of their young players tbh

 

What young players do the hornets have? Monk? Bridges?

 

You spelled "LeBron" wrong Brian.

 

Yeah that’s about it haha and you’d probably have to part with one of them.

Idk how you even value Beal. He’s a great player though

 

Has monk even been good? I think it probably takes whatever contract they want to unload, bridges, a filler guy and 2 1sts and I still don't think that's enough

 

i could not name a single player on the Hornets outside of Kemba if my life depended on it (before seeing the names mentioned above)

and aside from Dwight last year and whenever they had Kaminksy (is he still there?) i could probably say this since Kemba was drafted lol

 

I think Washington might be inclined to accept less enticing offers, if only to improve their financial outlook. They currently have a total of 6 players under contact for next season (assuming Dwight picks up his player option), but they'd have a payroll that's already over the projected cap. One of those players is Ian Mahinmi. Washington is not in a good position.

 

But does it matter what your financial outlook is next season if you trade your best player? Ernie is the worst gm possible for this situation, he's been known to overpay and been very average at managing the cap. I wonder if Leonsis would throw money at Walsh to have him come in and help, he's only an adviser for the pacers right now.

 

I watched it last night and Monk and Lamb (cause I'm a UConn guy) were the only others I knew. And I completely forgot Tony Parker went there lol

 

awww, damn. i forgot about Parker being there!

 

Monk is only 20 years old and people are ready to call him a bust. It's so dumb. He's shown improvement this year. He's very streaky but he still has plenty of potential. I really like Bridges too. He's way more athletic than I thought and has shown flashes of what he's capable of doing. Also, Jeremy Lamb was been a solid player the last couple seasons.

Not saying it's a great team but it's not horrible. Kemba definitely needs help though. Beal would be a nice addition, but as said above we'll probably have to give up one of Monk or Bridges. If we can somehow keep both and get Beal it'd be a huge upset.

 

Get his ass lmao

 

Lmao, what does OKC even have for trade for their fans to get hyped about this?

 

They'd butcher whatever pieces they have (which is none really). It'd be Beal/Russ/PG playing 3 v 5 every game.

 

Most certainly would have to part with Adams

 

Sometimes I think players just follow other players for the response haha

 

Willie referring to Russ as "Hollywood" and Steve Adams as "Aquaman"
He's feeling himself lol

 

Idk if oladipo and beal could play together, I feel like they could but that trade makes sense to me is Myles Turner plus like other stuff
