Cap Studs: looking for a favor...

I was wondering if one of you guys would start a new thread post-deadline showing the net effect of all of these trades, personnel-wise, pick-wise, and cap-wise.

thanks in advance, The Real Wiz

Top 4 might matter considering the Bucks might be blown to smithereens by then :dunno:

Even then though, the worst 4 teams are usually tanking and the Bucks won't have an incentive to do that since they won't own their own pick.
 
It's weird that NAW/Sato are officially listed on the injury list well after Woj announced the deal. It appears the trade is not yet completed?

 
What if Giannis is starting to decline early, because he relys to much on his athletic and that Bucks pick wont be that bad in 2025 ? A lot of things can happen in 3 years in the NBA

Surely Middleton and Jrue will have taken a step back (if they're on the team at that point).

no....Blazers get Milwaukee's 2025 first round pick; and last I saw it was unprotected but Cronin allowed the Pels to add top-4 protection (not that it matters much)

:biglaugh:Called it!

Actually, I predicted there was some hidden proviso that would turn the "potential lotto pick" into a couple of 2nd rounders. Since the Bucks' pick is more like 1 second rounder, Cronin got hosed even worse than I predicted.

This is downright surreal.

No this is fine and I supported the CJ trade, as did a majority of this board. Its only the Clippers trade that was indefensible, and had 80% of the board against it.

Exactly. That first trade was a fucking joke.

These last two are fine. People gonna have to accept our reaction to the first one and stop bringing it up. Why? Because it fucking sucked and deserved the backlash it got.

Woj confirms we got the MEM pick from this year, which could be the 58th pick or so. lol

I can't wait for someone here to "explain" to us what a valuable asset it is!

I'll say it again - no one is incompetent enough to do all this by accident.

So. Are all the Cronin haters hating this move too?

This move is reasonable and even good. Cap relief and a 2nd rounder. Not amazing, but also strictly good IMO. The CJ trade seems poor to me at best and the RoCo/Powell trade was an unmitigated disaster. Unless/Until we have an All-Star Power Forward who excels at defense to play next to Lillard and Ant, I'm going to remain upset about Cronin.

Yikes so the questionable CJ trade is much, MUCH worse than I thought. We have to get it from the Pels this year or it turns to garbage. WOW!

You sure about that?

I would not pay that much to a guy that comes back from an ACL injury at an advanced age. This smells like a Festus Ezeli idea.

The Blazers seem to be in a mixed mode - give it one more try to build a contender around Dame while keeping some promising bits if it fails for a longer rebuild. That's not the kind of rebuild that calls for a $13m veteran coming of an ACL injury. This is the kind of purchase you make the year after if the quick rebuild around Dame shows signs it can be a contender.

I suspect that if we do not see that quickly next year, Dame will be traded for whatever they can get for him to rebuild around Ant, Nas, Nurk (or whoever they get for him if he is traded) - for a younger team.

1) Ezeli relied on athleticism. Not much subtlety to his game. ACL injuries usually don't linger. Sure, an older guy may take longer to bounce back from one, but once healed, they're a thing of the past in most cases.

2) The money has to be spent on someone. Who else is it going to go to for the next couple years? Over-spending on Simons and Little, or some mediocre free agents? If Ingles is healthy next year and contributing as a starter, his current salary would be a reasonable short-term contract that would have value to contending teams. I see no downside.

Since you won't actually check and risk being exposed, it is in the CJ to NO thread. Post 735.

And for the record, you need help. Your attitude issues are ridiculous.
 
Yeah, what we've really been missing around here is someone bitching and moaning and crying and whining in every thread. Not enough of it
