Rumor Trade Deadline: March 25, 12:00 p.m. Pacific

[UKRAINEFAN]

You listen to it and report back!

 

[blazerkor]

at this time of the NBA season, about 60% of what we hear is spin by agents and teams, and 60% is speculation. Yeah, there's plenty of overlap there

Nope, I agree with your math. There is actually 20% more lying than is even thought to be possible. 120% of what we here in trade rumors is deception. (Not making fun of your great post, making fun of the fact that it seems about right because you here conflicting rumors and all of them are probably smoke screens which in a way adds up to more than 100%)

Their current GM is better than their former Asst GM.

Wow! Kawhi Leonard and Paul George must be relieved.

Yeah, honestly I think as we get closer to the deadline it's more likely that Orlando might take our offer.

Do we know what our offer is? Most of all (within reason) I'd hate something involving Little.

No clue. All we can go off of is supposedly Houston offering Oladipo and picks and Boston supposedly offering Smart and picks. So we have Trent and he's not as good as Oladipo or Smart.

I'm thinking that if Boston was offering Smart and picks, the deal would have been done. Probably the same goes for Oladipo. I don't think we're getting the full story

No, the reason why the Oladipo trade didn't go through supposedly is because Gordon said he didn't want to play there. I think the deal would have been done if Gordon hadn't said no.

Is Oladipo even that much of a trade asset? He's been pretty terrible since 2017-18, including this year. He's not cheap and he wants a big contract in the off-season. I'd view him as a negative trade asset, honestly.

I like Oladipo but I just don't think he'd be happy coming off the bench. I think if true it's more for a 3 team deal sending him to Orlando somehow.

He really has ridden that first all star campaign to having a lot of positive buzz on his name, and like you said, hasn't come near that since.

he's an expiring contract. It gives the Rockets a potential option to resign him him to a reasonable contract and if not, then they clear Gordon's salary off next year's ledger

for all we know, it could be an Oladipo for Fournier swap. See if Gordon sits out tonight too

or maybe the Magic are using the trade to dump Bamba too and clear an additional 7.6M

Durant and Irving have to be healthy for them to win a ring.

Must be his birthday!

Michael Singer: As I just said on @AltitudeSR, I think there’s a strong chance Aaron Gordon gets traded by tomorrow, and if the Nuggets aren’t the frontrunners, then they’ve got as good a chance as any team in the league to land him. Like I’ve said for more than a week, what’s ORL’s price?

Good fuck the lakers they think drummond is theirs. Any think to fuck over the lakers

Question? If Magic are wanting a high price for Gordon you willing to pay it? What in your mind would be good for both teams.
I say, send the Kid home, throw in either little or DJ & Hood. But for Gordon and MCW. I think they will get better offers than that? Not sure id do more though except maybe Trent for DJ.

Orlando also wants to trade Evan Fournier.

Drumond for Ntilikina & Burks makes some sense.

Nope.
Only player I really want from Orlando is Vuc.

You're a front runner, you're a front runner, you're a front runner, EVERY BODY IS FRONT RUNNER IN THE AARON GORDON SWEEPSTAKES!!!

 

[Stevenson]

interesting. Kind of suggests that Dame might not be in sync with Neil? but the context of "go for it" could go a lot of different directions. Personally, I sure don't think Olshey is a 'go for it' GM, and he sure has excuses down to a science. Sems to be what that tweet is implying

I think you really only get one chance to "go for it" when you have a superstar in his prime like Dame. Personally, I'm glad Neil hasn't traded away the moon previously.

And yes, the clock is ticking, but there's no room for error.

Thats why the NBA is FanTastic and we all have invested something into it.
