[Sebastian]

A Fab-Four could be formidable.

A Fab-Four could be formidable.

I don’t mind Philly being a winning team. Really anyone besides Boston and Miami in the east is okay with me lol.

 

[Jordan]

That trade is good for everyone. Sixers get a fringe all-star wing that is a good defender, floor spacer, and ball handler. He’ll really solidify the Sixers when one of Butler or Simmons sit.

The Clippers guarantee they keep their pick this year and they add future draft capital.

This is the definition of an equally beneficial trade.

'' Cleveland and the Houston Rockets remained engaged late Tuesday on a deal that would bring Brandon Knight and the Rockets’ first-round pick to Cleveland in exchange for Alec Burks, two league sources told The Athletic. By today’s NBA standards, if the Cavs can complete the deal, it would be a home run. Burks was obtained, along with a pair of second-round picks, in November in exchange for Kyle Korver.''

Anyone else getting a strange vibe that LAC may make a run at Love in the offseason depending on which stars they sign or don't sign?

They're accruing some very impressive young talent and picks, but also possess enough cap space for 2 big name free agents. If they can successfully sign 2 big name free agents, then they undoubtedly need to make a move for a 3rd star since that's the new trend.

Something along the lines of

LAC receives: Kevin Love, Jordan Clarkson

CLE receives: Gallinari, Avery Bradley (team picks up option to make salaries meet), Landry Shamet, MIA unprotected 2021 1st Round Pick


Who says no?


Granted, I think LAC will want to sign 2 big names before considering something like this. I know they'll be heavily after Kawhi but say they also get Cousins.

PG - SGA
SG - Clarkson
SF - Kawhi
PF - Love
C - Cousins

Lou Will and Harrell off the bench




CLE

PG - Sexton
SG - Shamet
SF - Osman
PF - Gallinari
C - Tristan

Bench of: Nance, Delly, Henson, Zizic, Nwaba, A. Bradley, and an abundance of 1st round + 2nd round picks moving forward. Not to mention potential deals of JR, Tristan, and potentially even forwarding Gallinari/Bradley to a 3rd team for more assets.


I wouldn't be mad. The Miami pick is going to be heavily sought after.

Lakers traded for Reggie Bullock. Pretty good move for them. Gets LeBron a great spot-up shooter without giving anything away.

 

[cavsfever]

I wonder if the Sixers trade motivates the Raptors to go for Anthony Davis. They have some assets and assuming they don’t give up too much I think if they can integrate him they would have a legit shot at the championship

It would be a risk but they are already taking one with Kawhi Leonard so why not go all the way

Lakers traded for Reggie Bullock. Pretty good move for them. Gets LeBron a great spot-up shooter without giving anything away.

They gave up Svi and a 2nd round pick. Svi looks like a good prospect and needed time to adjust to the NBA. He was a 40.2%, 39.8%, and 44.4% 3 point shooter in his last 3 years of college.

This is a LeBron win now move if I've ever seen one. Svi could be Joe Harris in a year. Reggie Bollock is an expiring and could very well be with another team next year if he plays well with the Lakers. If he gets offered more than the MLE, the Lakers aren't match that offer. Depending on who they get in free agency, they might ask him to take a discount to keep him.

If the Raptors could get Davis, that is a team on the level with GS perhaps with a few more pieces.

 

[BodegaBayCav]

Cavs should be taking a second look at the new NBA landscape after yesterday's trades.

I would be happy to trade one of our new 2nd's to Detroit for Svi or even better Burks for Langston Galloway and Svi.

If Philly needs bench help, Burks for Fultz is a gamble I would take over the Houston pick in the draft.

And, (I know this would never happen), but if Clips want to definitely miss playoffs to keep this years draft pick, Burks for the best player/contract in the NBA, Sweet Lou works.

Also, if Cavs could figure out a way to get Shamet from the Clips, he is already way better than what we could get from Houston's 1st rounder. Shamet is going to be a solid starter for many years.

Yeah. I don't know if they have enough assets to do it, but Davis to Toronto permanently would be the ULTIMATE win for pissed-off Cavs fans:

--Celtics are most likely relegated to fourth place in the East

--Golden State has a genuine competitor and might lose

--Lebron never makes another Finals

And the team that benefits most is a team that always politely let us win and never did anything obnoxious!

He's a mid-2nd round pick with shooting splits of 33/32/60. He's got a 45.1 TS%. That's worse than Lonzo Ball. He can't crack the Lakers rotation. Could he become a decent player in a few years? Sure. But I doubt it. He could become a Joe Harris in time, but he could just as easily be a guy who never becomes anything more than an end of the bench guy. If you're a team that lacks shooting, getting a solid starter who is a career 40% 3 point shooter for essentially two second round picks is a great move. The Blazers gave up more for Rodney Hood.

Don't let this years shooting percentages mislead you, Svi is a pure shooter who is adjusting to the NBA game and LA pressure. I think at worst, he will be a very solid rotation guy and Joe Harris is a good example of what he might become.

College shooting stats don't always translate to the NBA. Jimmer Fredette was a 39% shooter from 3 in college and he plays in China. If Svi becomes a solid rotation player it won't be for years.

The reason I don't like it, is it's a move that you usually do to get one of the final pieces of a championship rotation and you have your salary cap set. The Lakers aren't there yet. If Svi takes a step forward in a year they get a better player for him. Bullock will have a small cap hold but all of that cap space is ear marked for max players.

This is a win now mode move when they don't have the roster to be in win now mode.
