cuz it was as dumb of a move as anything Olshey did?

Now you're catching on!

Being hard capped in a season you couldn't contend is equally as bad a giving up 4 first round picks for two bench players.

 

[B-Roy]

not a pg tho

Ant isn’t either

 

[RR7]

This will be an exciting West Playoffs minus the Dame-no help Blazers

Cool, then you won't be watching and we won't hear from you. Buhbye

 

[blazerkor]

Was he pulled mid game for no reason?

No, he played until 4 minutes left in the game when they pulled him for Hardaway who is a starter while Wood isn't.

 

[Pinwheel1]

We are not getting Bridges from the Nets. He is the prize they got for KD. Maybe someone else, but not him.

 

[OneSport3]

Exciting to see what new, aggressive ownership can do. Some day it'll be our turn!

Literally on the FIRST DAY Mat Ishbia takes over ownership of the Suns, he brings KD to the franchise. That’s amazing.

 

[boredinsalem]

KD to the suns… everyone getting better while Dame gets Reddish…. lol

Call me crazy, I don't know if the suns got better. Paper-thin depth on a team that's going to very injury prone (between Paul, Booker, and KD). I admire the all-in move, but the defense is going to be way worse, they're injury-prone, and relatively old now. I think they go as far as Durant takes them (and have a good supporting cast for him with lots of shooting and room to work).

That's one way to make a splash!

Ant + Sharpe + the NY pick = Bridges + Cam Thomas
I really like Sharpe. And Ant is just hitting his stride. But I'm in on that deal and not looking back. Need another pick?
Ant +2 firsts for Bridges? Yup.

Probably right, but they desperately need some scoring. Defense looks amazing between DFS, Simmons, and Bridges, but they won't be able to buy a bucket. I wonder if we could pry DFS? Not sure what an attractive package would be. Definitely wouldn't trade Ant for him.

 

[wizenheimer]

they have no PG outside of Simmons and Mills.

i dunno.

I don't think they care right now. They are starting over

i'd be pretty damn happy with Johnson as well.

too bad this KD stuff didn't shake loose two days ago when we still had the Roco TPE to simply absorb Cam.

Biggest winner in the KD to PHX trade: The Houston Rockets:

" Rockets will receive Cleveland's Dante Exum and the Nets' Rodions Kurucs in addition to three first-round picks from the Nets (2022, 2024 and 2026) and a 2022 first-round pick from Cleveland (via Milwaukee). Houston will have the right to swap first-round picks with the Nets in the 2021, 2023, 2025 and 2027 drafts."

Isn't 2021 over already?

 

[TBpup]

Blazers gained around $3M in cap room from the proposed trade. It might not be finished though. Might be a 3rd team involved to complete the deal or Portland sends another small contract like GB3 back to NYK.

Isn't 2021 over already?

Correct, as is 2022. Which is why neither of those years are in bold.

 

[bemac]

I'm liking this new Nets team...Will be interesting to watch.

Can't combine players after they were just traded for, can you? I thought an acquired player could only be moved in a 1-for-1 for a while.

 

[blazerfan11]

i said this well before nate.



go get bridges.

I'd do Ant for Bridges straight up.

That would be good for both teams.

hart deal not official yet. can be a modified to a three way

 

[TBpup]

Miami likes Winslow, and he would fit nicely into their Dedman Trade Exception.

If it hasn't been completed you can bring in a third team.

The trade that's been reported is likely not even official yet, it can't be unless we've already waived one of the guys on our current roster.

STOP IT -- JUST STOP IT

Stop the Ben Simmons trade idea's he is bad and at this point I would rather go out and sign Westbrick then bring in Simmons and I HATE Westbrick so please just stop it.

 

[TBpup]

Yes, as I mentioned earlier. I was just responding to that specific trade.

He's the ultimate reclamation project. If people think Dame can help turn Reddish around, why couldn't he turn Simmons around?

Just so we're clear Cam can't leave if he wants. If we tender the qualifying offer, then he'll be a RFA. We have control of him if we want it.
