We get out of the obligation to give up a future first to Chicago. The only other way we get out of that is by missing the playoffs for the next 5 yrs.
Yes it is worth it. Having Ball sit all year is actually a good thing so Ant, Shae, and Scoot get all of the minutes. Next year, he is either an expiring contract or a very valuable guard off the bench. Ball is a huge difference maker on defense and plays the type of ball we should be preaching.
I read it as saying they can't trade their 2028 pick, as their 2029 pick is already coming to us. Ted Stepien rule.
Yeah, the joke is that we trade starting pg's to all of the Heat's rivals
Yes but again, I think Ball is done and just eating up cap space. Taking his contract is worth getting our pick back on its own, isn’t it?
I don't see Chicago willing to send out Williams for Brogdon though, they really like Williams and he's young.
Yeah agreed. Get ball off their books, give them a starting point guard and we get a couple picks.
i don't see much difference in Lonzo's future and Brogdon's future medically. Brogdan can maybe play now.
Everything I have heard is that Brogdon is healthy and ready to play. Last I heard about Ball, he might have to retire. Has there been an update?
This might be true, if other teams are reluctant to trade for Brogdon bring him here to prove he's healthy for 20 games; then flip him.
I don't see it either, but then again I didn't see us getting...
I also think that we can still capitalize on the arms race that we have created.
Nobody could or would have predicted what he's done so far. Maybe pieces of it. But not the whole.
Celtics have a 2028 swap with the Spurs, so Fanspo might think they're missing that pick but theyre not since its a swap.
Best you can hope for is a top 10 protected with a 3 year period to convey, imo. But I’d still take it though.
I don't think Brogdon physical was that bad, there was concerns he might need surgery for an arm ligament issue and the Clippers were not able to complete a thorough physical in time. Celtics pivoted to a different deal as they had a strict deadline to complete the Porzingis trade since his player option had a deadline. Ive heard Brogdon has since recovered without surgery and is available now go start the season.
You’re not trading for him as a player. He might not ever play again. You’re taking his salary and getting some draft capital.
It's not so bad to take on the salary because of how the cap floor is calculated this year and going forward, too.
Oh we might be popular with at least one more because I still think the teams trying to get Jrue will be interested in Malcolm.
Actually could open the market up for Simons.
