NBA trade and Free Agent rumors

Re: NBA trade rumors

Lakers are looking to acquire Klay Thompson in exchange for their #7 pick... That's an interesting way to turn one good team and one bad team into two mediocre teams.

So when Mathews contract is up will he make over 10m a year?

Not completely sure because Mathews will be 28 next year so probably closer to 7-8 a year.

This place is lame these days. Whatever. NegaBlazers have taken over.

Either way, love when you are so wrong when trying to start something

Damian Lillard: Don't sleep on Elfrid Payton... I watched couple of his games . He can hoop Twitter @Dame_Lillard
Is Damion trying to say something between the lines here or just trying to help the kid in the draft?

Interesting. Didn't Lillard tweet about CJ last year? How'd that end up?

Depends on your implication. You might mean he's good at predicting who we draft, or you mean he's a bad judge of PG talent. Maybe you mean both?

I don't even know what that means. Are you saying you don't whine about the moderating here?

Tell us. How did that end up?

Re: NBA trade rumors

Warriors talks for Love stall because some in Warriors organization think Love isn't worth giving up Klay Thompson. Is there a more overrated stat beast in NBA history than Love? Based on his numbers, he should be an MVP candidate. Instead, he hasn't played on even a .500 team in 6 seasons.

Tucker is a player I really like, I think he was more important for the Suns this year than most people realize. Also he's a different type of SF than Batum because he's much more physical but he's also versatile and plays team basketball, like Batum. I think he's a solid rotation player for any team.

From the linked article:

"They also need Meyers Leonard and Will Batum to each take the next step in terms of their development."

Will Batum - lol!

I find myself asking all the time Will Batum be aggressive tonight? Will Batum look to score tonight? Will Batum play good defense tonight?

Will Batum ever take a summer off? Will Batum punch someone in the nuts again? We need answers!

Tucker plays defense. Im in. Morrow is a chucker. Im out

I mean just that he was drafted. Nothing talent meaning

Morrow can be a lights out shooter.how many sharpshooters in the NBA do you know that don't chuck?

Re: NBA trade rumors

We have scorers. We need defenders.

Gotcha. I expect Lillard has a bit of a sway with Olshey. He's a very very good player and we want to keep him happy. But I don't think it's as much as Roy got.

There are too many to count.

Apparently the Nuggets promised Saric with their #11 pick.

Mr. Stotts....er BigGameDamian, WE NEED DEFENSE

That seems contradictory to the reports coming out that they want to move the pick.

Re: NBA trade rumors

If BGD is actually Stotts I want Stotts fired immediately!

I agree, he would fit nicely in Stotts system but I agree with those that say defense is needed.

The name's being rumored are talent one notch up from what they went after last year.

Re: NBA trade rumors

Not a trade rumor. But I'm a lil surprised by this. Not sure after his behavior in the playoffs I would do it.

. Morrow is a chucker. Im out

This is the description from Hoopshype

"Outstanding three-point shooter... One of the best in the league... Nice mid-range jumper... Decent rebounder for his position... Poor ballhandling skills.

I would rather go after Stuckey: "Combo guard with great scoring skills... Knows how to get to the basket... Great leaping skills... Fine mid-range game.

Well if you like a PF who plays a post game, Zach seems to fit that bill.


I remember when Zach was here there was a lot of "Zach is a black hole, ship him out"

Could be.

...or it could be for another team.

Saric would be much higher on teams draft boards if he would just commit to coming over.

He's been going back and forth on that. MN beat writer said the latest he's heard is that Saric wants to stay overseas for two more years.

I never believe it when teams come out after someones had a career threatening/ending/recurring injury and say "we knew it so we didn't want him". Saying shit after its happened means nothing.
