Bronny averaged 4 points a game on 37% shooting. The Lakers are cooked. Portland should pry Austin Reeves away before Showtime implodes.

He was drafted because of his name only, over a more deserving player. What kind of guaranteed money is he gonna get?
 
Blazers want no part of Hardaway so he was never going to be a part of a Mavs / Blazers deal according to a vid I linked yesterday and this trade was mentioned as a rumor in the same vid

Truth is I think the Mavs needed to clear out some cap to even try an add someone like a Grant / Kuzma etc

I would not be surprised for another trade to drop after this and who knows it might be a Grant to Mavs deal we shall see
 
The Nuggets are kind of faltering. It looks like they're about to lose KCP to free agency and they gave away Reggie Jackson. Cheap owner tanking contender?

Or they realize they need an upgrade at those positions. Does dumping those two give them more flexibility?

Didn't Murray just sign a huge deal with them?

The Mavs likely don't have contracts for this to be possible any longer - they only gained flexibility to use their MLE.

Hardaway or a player sent back in his place would have likely been required, even if Hardaway ultimately went to a 3rd team.

No, it just avoids luxury tax.

Jackson is fine to send out but I'd be very disappointed if I was a Nuggets fan. KCP is a title winning starter for two teams now and they have nothing to replace him with except the owner saving cash. Its rare to have a title shot and you need to take advantage of every year possible.

They will need to extend KCP or they are definitely going down in talent. If they lose him, I can see Orlando going after him or even the Sixers. KCP is a good player. The Nuggets can't afford to lose him after they lost Bruce Brown last year.

Philly makes the most sense to me for Grant. Do they have the cap space and picks?

They probably star chase at first but if that doesn't work maybe they explore Grant. I highly doubt they want to give us full salary relief and good picks. Maybe they would give up some of each if we take back a player in sign and trade or such and a pick. Then they can stay over the cap and resign Harris too/use full MLE/etc.
 
Also didn't think of it at first.... But Detroit using cap space on absorbing Hardaway salary could greatly reduce the chance they might be interested in acquiring Grant if there was ever a chance of that. Them absorbing Grant and giving us #5 was a much discussed deal previously.
 
SharpesT -- with all due respect you do not know what your talking about -- I linked a vid yesterday and it can get done w/o Hardaway

I do not think it's a great package but it could work the problem is it might leave the Mavs a little thin since they would have to combine 3 players

Example and it works : Green , Klebler and Prosper plus 2 1st's -- its not a great package but it could work

Is a championship really worth more than draft capital? If true the Nuggets adding George would certainly be the risk worth taking.

Sounds like theyd have to send out MPJ, Id be very hesitant to do that and mortgage draft picks as George is near the end of the road then the Nuggets would be screwed.
 
Sources: Warriors, Chris Paul push deadline, eye trade

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/40452879/sources-warriors-chris-paul-push-deadline-eye-trade

The Golden State Warriors and guard Chris Paul intend to move the date to guarantee the $30 million on his 2024-25 contract to the start of free agency on Sunday, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The deadline to lock in Paul's contract was originally Friday, but this gives the Warriors a small window of time to keep exploring possible trades.

There is also still a possibility that Golden State ultimately will waive Paul, giving the team major cap relief. But sources told ESPN that the Warriors wanted to help ensure Paul had a good landing place on another team -- if they can find the right deal.

Paul's contract would have to be included in any big trade for an All-Star-caliber player.

Paul, who turned 39 in May, averaged 9.2 points, 6.8 assists and 3.9 rebounds in 26.4 minutes per game in 58 games for the Warriors last season, primarily in a bench role.

He was brought to the Warriors last offseason in a trade that dealt Jordan Poole to the Washington Wizards, and Golden State hoped he would be a reliable and trustworthy point guard and floor general on the second unit.

GSW probably trying to trade for Paul George or someone.
 
That's not really a great return for Dejounte but I guess they had no choice.

They're thinking they get an all defensive team PG who has a ton of length. I don't know what they're doing with CJ but if they're keeping him you couldn't ask for a better guy to pair with him in the back court. I know the rumor is that they'll move Ingram but they just added another near all star caliber player to put around Zion.
 
Nance
Daniels
2025 Lakers 1st
2027 lesser of MIL/NOP

vs

Brogdon
2024 14th Pick
2029 Pick
2 Seconds

I think you can argue Avdija went for more than Murray. Which I actually agree with.

Depends if you think Daniels will improve. He's already pretty elite defensively.

The trade packages are very comparable... and close in value. If I were the Wizards or the Hawks, I would prefer the NOP package due to Daniels.

As far as players, go - I'd MUCH rather have Avdija for the Blazers over Murray.
