2018 NBA Playoffs Thread

Franchises aren't loyal.



Horford has 2 years left on his contract with a player option in 2019/2020

Jaylen plus a lottery pick not just late rounders could get them considering it imo

That’s not getting them even close to considering it. Anthony Davis is only 25, a top 5 player in the league, signed on for three more years and is actually making less than Horford right now. And they just made the second round of the playoffs.

AD is eligible for the super max i dont think he's going anywhere

How does that make him look

gettin ready for their funeral

 

[youngwolf]

Are there any reports that AD is actually unhappy in New Orleans?

Right?

And even if he was, NO isn't going to trade him. Especially not for 2 role players and some draft picks.

Celtics really paid greg monroe 5 mill lmao

They had a deadline to use that money because of the Hayward injury.

He was the best player available in the buyout market also

Get them ‘scuses ready

“Lebron already has his bags packed”
“ his teammates didn’t want to play for a guy who already knew he was leaving”

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

AD gonna be able to make 50 mill in his final year of the contract

 

[617collector]

Right?

And even if he was, NO isn't going to trade him. Especially not for 2 role players and some draft picks.

"The Sacramento Kings have traded All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins and forward Omri Casspi to the New Orleans Pelicans for Tyreke Evans, Buddy Hield, Langston Galloway, a protected 2017 first-round pick and 2017 second-round pick."

May nonexistent god bless your heart if you think AD and Cousins were ever on the same level.

Lol....

Also left out of there is Cousins had one year left on his deal and seemed like a cancer with an attitude problem who never made the playoffs one single time. And that the Kings are a terribly run organization to begin with.

My prayers to that poor basketball if this ever happens.

Never said they were just pointing out teams have traded for less on franchise players

You would have to talk CP3 into taking a pretty big paycut and the Thunder would have to want to take Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson. At this point I wouldnt put it past CP3 to take a paycut to get Lebron there so he can contend for a title for one last run. I don't think the guy wants to be remembered as another Reggie Miller/Charles Barkley type HOFer where people constantly bring up rings.

Its not impossible, just highly unlikely.

CP3 takes a paycut and Melo turns down his player option for $28mil

Then he could sign with Houston after they free up some salary, Arizas $8mil comes off the books too

It would have to be a trade for Gordon and Ryan Anderson......He would still get his $28M.

The entire thing is dumb though because you would basically have 4 players and nothing but vet minimum dudes. And at this point I think I would much rather have Gordon and Anderson that MarshMelo.

As the team is currently constructed, either CP3 or Lebron or both would have to take paycuts to play in Houston. So if he is serious about Lebron, then someone is taking less. Wont work with Harden and him making 70M combined + gordon and andersons salaries.
