Where the fuck did SA get that money?

Full MLE.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Full MLE.

Full MLE is 10 mil??

Full MLE in this scenario would be 2 years, $18,954,300

Funny, for years the Clippers and Nets were the epitome of NBA ineptitude, and now had the best off-season to date.

 

[wizenheimer]

I missed it but apparently, Olshey said today during the game that Nurkic could be out till February.

this last season, Portland was 60 games into the season by Feb 25

I don’t believe that.

 

[wizenheimer]

I don’t believe that.

what don't you believe?

that he's coming back in February or that Olshey said it?

Is Jerry West the GOAT of all GM?

I took it as NO is hiding his cards. Nurk ends up having a miraculous, early recovery. (At least that's my hope).....

Him or Walter Brown, if you consider him a GM.

I believe he’ll be back earlier.

Good. That would be the smart thing to do especially with Whiteside in the mix now.

Don’t rush him back.

Don’t pull a GordonHayward and have him play before he is ready.

Honestly, I’d prefer he sat out most of the year.

 

[SIeepwalker]

I'm just gonna set this here...

lmao every god damn year even if we make the wcf

 

[hoopsjock]

So the GM says February but you play a doctor on the internet so you know better?

 

[Wizard Mentor]

In the Lillard press conference, Neil said there was a trade made that couldn't be discussed.

Is this one we already know about?

 

[TBpup]

GM said there would be "No fireworks" days before his most active FA'cy period of his career. His word means nothing.

My Russ trade prediction:

OKC Gets: Mo Bamba, Aaron Gordon, Johnathan Isaac, Markelle Fultz, Future 1st
ORL Gets: Russell Westbrook, Jerami Grant

Bench would need work but this would be the lineup:
Westbrook / Augustin
Ross / Augustin
Fournier / ?
Aminu / Grant
Vucevic / Birch

ORL Gets: Russell Westbrook, Jerami Grant

I don't think that is too far off in terms of a premise. ORL's owner wants to not only make the Playoffs but take the next step. He is tired of where they are. I think it would be smart for OKC as well as they certainly aren't going anywhere but to just a lower level of NBA purgatory.

That’s a whole lot to give for Westbrook, Orlando gets better right away but long term get worse imho.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

I wouldn’t count the Knicks out as a team that could get Westbrook. They have pieces.

 

[BBert]

I'm just gonna set this here...

Jesus Christ are these people geographically impaired? The West Coast is the Left Coast for Pete's sake

 

[BBert]

I'm thinking Knicks too

 

[GhostOfPGA]

I'm thinking Knicks too

They can do something like Barrett, DSJ, Trier, Portis, and a pick. It would have to wait because of Portis but eventually.

 

[LayneStaley]

The best place for Russ is MIA. A 1-3 of Russ/Herro/Butler might be nice. (It could also completely explode which is why I want it to happen)

 

[LayneStaley]

I don’t see them trading RJ. I love the idea of RW a Knick though, I hate the team and the player.

Not enough salary to trade out.

They're gonna wait until December 15th?

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Not enough salary to trade out.

The Knicks still have like 4 million in cap space I think.
