[Hoopguru]

I heard that Atlanta would be interested in JV and some for Collins?

But would Utah want Collins? Not unless they got a couple of picks with him I think.

Good question? At this point not sure what Ainge is doing besides taking calls?

 

[Strenuus]

If talks where very serious something would have happened by now.

You know this is false based on common sense. Failed again.

i'll try to get both.



Dame/ Ant
Ant/ Sharpe / Nas
Grant/ Nas / Vanderbilt
Collins / Vanderbilt / Watford
Nurk / Vanderbilt/ Eubanks

Bring in another third string guard off the waivers if we really feel like it to add depth (Kemba? or the like). Drastically adds size if we move JG to SF and bring in another like-sized player(s) to the front court.

"The Jazz have talked at least to the Hawks, Trail Blazers, and Knicks about trades centered around both Vanderbilt and Beasley as a package deal."

I did not relaize that Beasley made 15 mil. So they want to attach it to Vanderbilt to get rid of it? Seems like a good deal for both Atlanta and the Jazz (for Collins)

 

[Pinwheel1]

The Mavericks are sending Dorian Finney-Smith, Spencer Dinwiddie, a 2027 first-round pick and second round picks to the Nets, sources tell ESPN.

Good deal for the nets

 

[MickZagger]

Irving to the Mavs. Weird

[MickZagger]

I just fail to see how such too ball dominant players are going to make it work.

 

[DDolla]

Lakers fans right now…. lol

 

[Jelloman]

Work as well as Harden and CP3, or Harden and Westbrook

 

[Pinwheel1]

I just fail to see how such too ball dominant players are going to make it work.

yeah, it could go well or very badly. My money/hope is on "badly".
Will Kyrie take a backseat like he did with LBJ? If he does it could work.

 

[wizenheimer]

giant gamble by Cuban. Irving is toxic

 

[illmatic99]

i don't think it will make any difference to their overall prospects this year.

luka's usage was maddeningly high so this will ease his burden a bit, but it will also do very little to address their deficiencies on defense and shooting. hell, I could argue that losing DFS will make them worse

 

[DDolla]

No team wants Russ lol glad he’s still a Lakers

 

[Jelloman]

Culture of Texas is drastically different than NY. I can see him having way less backlash in Texas.

Cuban is the Trader Bob of owners....always tinkering.

Cuban and Balmer

[HoopsFanAZ]

With this icebreaker, speed dating between GMs accelerates.
And good job by Brooklyn.

 

[MickZagger]

but I think Luka’s usage being high is the best way to utilize his skill set. Because he cause so much attention with the ball and is an awesome passer

 

[BigGameDamian]

Cuban has the balls I wish Blazers management had.

 

[illmatic99]

yes, but lessening his burden could mean less fatigue in the playoffs. but ya, i don't this trade will make dallas appreciably better. they lose a lot on defense.

 

[julius]

Cuban has the balls I wish Blazers management had.

You also think Damian drinks like a fish, so....

 

[wizenheimer]

Cuban has the balls I wish Blazers management had.

Cronin traded CJ, Powell, RoCo and Nance within a week and did so mainly for salary and payroll reasons. That took some balls

and it's debatable if trading for Kyrie shows a lot of balls or a lack of common sense

 

[B-Roy]

WOW

 

[wizenheimer]

has a player ever been shopped so hard, by so many teams, to no avail, as Westbrook?

where's the StatMuse box for that?

 

[illmatic99]

Nets landed two starting caliber players, multiple picks, reduced their tax burden by about 30 mil while removing a malcontent.

this is a win for Sean Marks before they even play a minute of bball
