Trade Deadline: February 6, 2025

[SharpesTriumph]

so charlotte traded both their centers.

ayton destination?

Charlotte would probably prefer Reath or Walker at center. They trying to capture the Flagg.

 

[Quatro44]

LA getting Williams, I think they will move on from Wood

 

[Eastoff]

so charlotte traded both their centers.

ayton destination?

They are second from the bottom in the east. They don't have to play a true center for their goal.

 

[Natebishop3]

Wow...... now I see why we aren't making a trade. Our guys aren't worth shit

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Unless Mark Williams improves to an above average starter that's an overpay from LAL.

I thought they'd be able to get a big and a defensive wing with their FRP.

I understand moving on from Dalton as that's not really an archetype you need with Luka. But that's 3 nice assets they gave up for Mark.

 

[LayneStaley]

So Ant to Orl and Rob to Hou, that’s what we’re thinking now?

 

[Cugel]

That ‘31 pick won’t be that great. Wemby will be a LAL by then. Not kidding.

Joe is a joke. POR is destined for play in ceiling.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

LA getting Williams, I think they will move on from Wood

I assume Woods just stays as a backup like he's been all year.

ayton doesn't really hurt that.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

So Ant to Orl and Rob to Hou, that’s what we’re thinking now?

Probably more likely Joe gives Ant and Ayton extensions than we trade either of them.

We need to keep the Ayton Ant Grant trio all here until at least 2028.

 

[Quatro44]

I assume Woods just stays as a backup like he's been all year.

I was looking at their roster and they are loaded with backup C’s, plus Wood has been injured. I see them dealing him this summer for assets.

...have you seen how well Mark has been playing for the past couple months now? when your team just had the luckiest gift wrap bullshit handed to you on a silver platter, you pay a tiny bit extra for an emerging big like the one they just got. Fuck the Lakers!

Have to admit I'm not watching a lot of Hornets games lately. If he is an average starting center or better then yeah it's worth it.

 

[wizenheimer]

wtf why didn't we do that for rob?

if the Lakers would have offered that unprotected 1st for Timelord, the deal would have been done

but I'm pretty sure they would have never dreamed of offering that, not for an injury magnet like TL. But wait....William is an injury magnet too!

what gives?

 

[LayneStaley]

Yeah

I get the numbers are nice but I feel like he’s always hurt, maybe I’m just not paying attention.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

I was looking at their roster and they are loaded with backup C’s, plus Wood has been injured. I see them dealing him this summer for assets.

He's on a one year minimum salary - any other team that wants him can just sign him.

 

[blazerfan11]

So Ant to Orl and Rob to Hou, that’s what we’re thinking now?

I don't think anyone's going anywhere. Maybe Matisse Thybulle? He has a player option for next season.

 

[Quatro44]

He's on a one year minimum salary - any other team that wants him can just sign him.

Fine then, still doesn’t change much from what I stated and doesn’t help your statement either.

in his first 2 seasons, Williams played in 62 games and missed 102. This season he's played in 22 games and missed 15

so, for his career he's played 84 games and missed 117. That's probably better than Timelord, but not by much. The difference is Williams has a salary of 4M. TL has a salary over 12M and the Lakers are butting up against the 2nd apron

 

[cdub503]

What time on the 6th do we have til? Not that I’m holding my breath very hard.

 

[RR7]

Mavs get one pick for Doncic

Hornets get one pick and one swap for Mark Williams.

And again,in this stupid fucking narrative, Anthony Davis didn't exist

 

[Cugel]

What time on the 6th do we have til? Not that I’m holding my breath very hard.

Noon pst but don’t hold your breath. Nothing is going down. All buyers bought

 

[Quatro44]

What time on the 6th do we have til? Not that I’m holding my breath very hard.

High noon tomorrow

 

[Cugel]

This deadline is exactly why the team should have been tanking. Now the dumb shit gm has them going after a playin spot. Asinine.

 

[Chris Craig]

High noon tomorrow

 

[HailBlazers]

Guess Knect was a bust afterall.

 

[LayneStaley]

So basically Ant/Ayton are big expirings for next years trade deadline? The only real shit contract we are stuck with is Grant long term?

 

[Sheldon Shape]

I can guarantee it won't be that much. There's no teams with projected capspace this off season except the Nets and they're not paying Ingram 50M. There's no threat here. Either Ingram takes less or he takes an MLE deal.

LMAO no. He ain't signing for the MLE. That's delusional. Raptors have already committed to re-signing him.

 

[bemac]

This deadline is exactly why the team should have been tanking. Now the dumb shit gm has them going after a playin spot. Asinine.

Yes, the guy who lives and breathes basketball, has spent nearly 20 years with the organization, and worked his way to General Manager is a dumb shit, and should be paying attention to fan forums for direction.

 

[B-Roy]

LMAO no. He ain't signing for the MLE. That's delusional. Raptors have already committed to re-signing him.

I’m saying he has no leverage to demand 50m. The Raps will not have to max him.
