Which was the Pels not trading him for Lakers junk.
Now we wait for the ping pong balls and if they come up 1-2, could there possibly be a better position to be in than the Knicks would be at that point?
2 max slots, a top 2 pick, AD dangling out there via trade, a huge FA class, and a strong draft class.
The Kings are waiving Ben McLemore, per source. The sixth-year guard who was drafted 7th overall by the Kings in 2013, then had a stop in Memphis in between, will be on to his next stop.
RE: It also means the pelicans think Zion and RJ are the two potential
Theres a scenario where Boston flames out early in the playoffs. Kyrie leaves, Morris leaves, Horford opts out, Rozier leaves, and those "treasure chest of picks" amounts to 2 picks in the bottom 3rd of the draft.
They still trading Tatum for Anthony Davis in this scenario? I would really love this doomsday scenario for Boston.
Why would Rozier leave Boston if Kyrie is gone .. he becomes the starter on a team and in a system he knows he can thrive in? Also why would Morris leave a place where is getting good minutes and career stats. We have Money to resign both ESPECIALLY with Irving leaving since that is your scenario. Why wold Hortford opt out of his last yr in his max contract ... he is not getting another max deal at his age.
why does any free agent leave their incumbent team? If another team is offering more money, he's likely gone. He's coming off his rookie contract - this might be his only chance to get a big deal.
Ainge isn't known for giving out dumb contracts....but plenty of other GMs might for a guy like Rozier.
Now they have to hope Boston balks on giving up Tatum, or hope Kyrie heads to LA. I know LeBron just arrived but his window is pretty small. No chance they beat Golden State this year. LeBron turns 35 next year and while he is a freak of nature his days as the best player in the league are numbered if not already over. He will still be effective for a few years but he might only have a 1-2 year Championship window. Hes been a pro for 16 years now and there are a lot of miles on his body.
If they dont land a top, top player this summer its hard to envision them winning with LeBron.
destination people think it is. I agree with the premise that guys don't want to play with LBJ. If Kyrie reups with Boston & they get AD, I don't see AD leaving if the Celts go deep. AD, from all I've read, just wants to win. He's going to leave a 60 plus win Cs team next summer for a LAL team with a soon to be 36 year old LBJ? I don't see that.
Hopefully this is all moot as KD & Kyrie come to MSG.

i dont think the plan is kd and kyrie...
I think it is KD and AD and then with money left over fill out the roster...
i also think deandre is going to be part of that...

The Knicks are releasing Enes Kanter, league source tells ESPN.
No, he could care less and said as much. He went there for his family, not to win another ring
Not sure why. It could be all about the Celtics. Who knows what Danny has whispered.
Dont get the Zubac trade either.
What value does Fultz realistically have at this point? They couldnt get much for someone who doesnt look like a starting PG
I think 3 or if it is 2 I personally would have Ja Morant higher than Barrett right now. I am no expert though.
Fuck outta here.

KD and AD.
Id rather roll with DSJ or sign Kemba over Kyrie if it meant we can get Durant and Davis here.
just putting all the pieces together...
Knicks were rumored to be ready to go after AD and offered KP...
rumors of shopping to open money for months and lee's mouthpiece said they were close to a deal to clear his money with orlando...
I dont think KP was ever in their plans and they wanted to open up 2 max slots to keep flexibility so they can pivot if they do not get AD...
I would also be fine with Zion and a bunch of cap flexibility tbh.
LOL.

Agree. KD and AD...I'm getting woozy. That's immediately a 60 plus win team
LOL.
... as the Celts crush the Lakers (at least so far).

haha - spoke too soon. Incredible ending.
Number One pick changes everything.
I don't want a paper-thin big two team that's going to struggle to fill roster slots.
