Maybe they are high on Musa. He's still quite young still and was a 1st round quality prospect in 2018, and if you're in a rebuild I think you'd rather take the shot on a guy who might be a scorer than a tough defender who isn't going to do much on offense. Brown is a good fit off the bench for a team with it's scoring set, for the Pistons he's not doing much. Musa is a shot at finding a bucket getter.
That’s true. He’ll at least be able to get minutes. Saw some good stuff from him during a Cs game. Or maybe that was Kurucs.
I’d actually disagree - the constant looking ahead has made the NBA a 24/7/365 sport. If anything, I think it drives more eyeballs to the sport. Harden rumors were getting attention on an NFL weekend while the Masters was on.
If they pick up the option on Temple, and add in Levert and Prince, they are just about there.
The 2020, 8 seed Nets core isn't doing it for you as the return for a top 10 talent? Ha.
I would do the trade I listed if I got a pick 19 (made for me) 1sts in 2021, 23,25,27 and swap options in 22, 24,26,28 and 30
Yeah, the latter not the former. The Lakers gave KCP money he wasn't getting anywhere else as a Klutch solid. Not that KCP owes them anything -- he came through big-time, so carried out his side in spades.
Maybe earlier, but the 1 and 1 he signed last year was below what he had elsewhere. I agree he's probably back, but that deal was definitely made with the idea that they'd take care of him this summer
I mean, the guy that I compare Okoro to, defensively, is Marcus. And from Harden's point of view getting defended Jaylen will be his break. It would be pretty funny.
Damn that’s a good get Gotta try to keep Giannis happy. Maybe Danny was just trying to drive up the price.
It’s so much to give up that I really wonder if that’s what happened. Plus he’s always seemed to have a good relationship with the front office, I wouldn’t be surprised if they know his thinking pretty well. If he stays, those picks won’t be quite the haul. If not, hoo boy. Pelicans are chock full.
And that is the issue. Especially since hes RFA.
It might technically be 2 and 2 swaps for counting purposes so one might be protected. The 5th is the 24th in this year, so they might make the pick for NO then make the trade.
They can make it clear they’ll match any reasonable offer and then trade him for value later.
