Harris deal Det did well but their spacing going to suffer some... it will be interesting to see how SVG tweaks his o for him
That Lee deal looks much better if Cha lands D12

By blackace Go To Postnext season 1st?
I'd send that 2016 first. This draft class looks like trash outside the top 3 or so picks (and even then, it's a guy with a broken shot, a guy who's a beanpole, and a foreign guy who could be either be a Porzingis like sensation or a Hezonja like underwhelmer).
Simmons proposed a 3-team deal where Houston gets David Lee's expiring, Boston's own first (in the 20s), and Zeller, Charlotte gets Dwight, and Boston gets Big Al. I'd do that deal in a motherfucking heartbeat.

Guard Michael Carter-Williams has been told by the Bucks that he would not be traded, a source said, but the Sixers told him the same thing.
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojVerticalNBA 37m37 minutes ago
Minnesota has no ongoing trade talks for guard Ricky Rubio now, league sources tell @TheVertical. That may change in the summer, though.
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojVerticalNBA 23m23 minutes ago
Detroit is still probing the market for a veteran guard, league sources tell @TheVertical.

With us on @790TheTicket …. @BobbyMarks42 : "I think Al Horford's gonna get traded."
lol wow the Heat are out of tradeable picks for the next 5 years:
The Heat don't have many draft picks left to facilitate such a trade. This deal took care of their only remaining tradeable picks before 2021. However, Roberts has enough value as a backup point guard that a team might take him into space or a trade exception, while cash would likely be enough to get a team to take Stokes.
By Gabyskra Go To PostWhat do you get from being 12th worst then, rather than going to the playoffs?Considering that the pick moves to top 5 protected and eventually unprotected you get your pick back for better drafts.
Optimally this year we fall to 15 then with everyone healthy and better we go back up to the 20's when we lose protections but I don't think that is likely.
By blackace Go To PostHeat out there like the Knicks… but with ringsEasier said when Bosh was on the team.
I'm optimistic about our unrestricted Heat picks now.

So you'd rather give a 12th pick now, because you expect the team to potentially give a 6th-9th pick the year after?
By Gabyskra Go To PostSo you'd rather give a 12th pick now, because you expect the team to potentially give a 6th-9th pick the year after?Maybe not next year but it seems likely to happen in the next 2-3.
Before today we had no assets a GM that kinda sucks outside of fringe moves, an old core with 2 in their prime and everyone else well past it, and terrible player development so no young people to step into important roles.
By giririsss Go To PostEasier said when Bosh was on the team.Suns could have 3 1st round picks next draft?
I'm optimistic about our unrestricted Heat picks now.
does the Lakers' pick become unprotected in the 2017 draft?
By jjasper Go To PostMaybe not next year but it seems likely to happen in the next 2-3.I understand your sentiment, thanks for explaining and clarifying. It does seem like the team is on a downwards slope. What do you expect Conley to do?

By blackace Go To PostSuns could have 3 1st round picks next draft?Doesn't Philly have the Lakers pick?
does the Lakers' pick become unprotected in the 2017 draft?
By blackace Go To PostIs it Philly?
Thought it was for Nash…
Yeah Philly has it, Suns flipped it in that MCW/Knight debacle trade
2016 first round draft pick from L.A. Lakers
L.A. Lakers' 1st round pick to Philadelphia (via Phoenix) protected for selections 1-3 in 2016 and 1-3 in 2017 and unprotected in 2018 [L.A. Lakers-Phoenix, 7/11/2012; Milwaukee-Philadelphia-Phoenix, 2/19/2015]
By blackace Go To PostSuns could have 3 1st round picks next draft?What others said. Suns traded the lakers pick for Knight, essentially.
does the Lakers' pick become unprotected in the 2017 draft?
So they have their own 2017 and the un-restricted Miami pick.
By blackace Go To Postah! OK it's protected until 2018?
Yeah, top 3 for this season and next, then unprotected thereafter.
By blackace Go To Postah! OK it's protected until 2018?Yes. It becomes unprotected for the 2018 draft.
By giririsss Go To PostWhat others said. Suns traded the lakers pick for Knight, essentially.no, you have our 2018 pick which is protected 1-7. the 2021 pick is unprotected.
So they have their own 2017 and the un-restricted Miami pick.
By PSYCH! Go To Postno, you have our 2018 pick which is protected 1-7. the 2021 pick is unprotected.
Well, kinda:
2018 first round draft pick from Miami
Miami's 1st round pick to Phoenix protected for selections 1-7 in 2018 (conveyable if Miami conveys a 1st round pick to Philadelphia in 2016) and unprotected in 2019 [Miami-New Orleans-Phoenix, 2/19/2015]
If you guys somehow fall into the top 10 (if Bosh is out for the rest of the season?), then you keep the 16 1st, send a 17 1st to Philly, and then send an unprotected 19 1st to Phoenix.
By diehard Go To Postsometimes it would be nice if the Jazz ever leaked any information whatsoeverYour roster is so cheap it actually looks like it would be hard to make a move.
By Gabyskra Go To PostYour roster is so cheap it actually looks like it would be hard to make a move.i dunno what ya mean

Cho working Morey through Woj. Morey'll cave and we'll get a deadline deal done.
Does Dwight Howard like playing with Courtney Lee? They played together in Orlando, so I am wondering if that's a precursor deal.
By reilo Go To PostDoes Dwight Howard like playing with Courtney Lee? They played together in Orlando, so I am wondering if that's a precursor deal.Lee was rumored for a while and we NEEDED a starting 3 and D SG all year.

well he compared james harden to him when he arrived in houston
Despite reports of the Los Angeles Clippers entertaining trade offers for Blake Griffin ahead of the trade deadline, Doc Rivers said Griffin won't be dealt..
"We're not trading Blake," said Rivers.
By DY_nasty Go To PostI've always liked Lee. Shame Kobe destroyed his soul so early into his career.Lee took his soul back a few years later, one of the few guys to reclaim his soul after it was taken by Kobe.
Orlando making room for their younger guys is good. Jennings has no place there and honestly the dude looks done. His first step is bad right now and with out that and the hit to his quickness he just isn't a starter.
