Do You Hear What I Hear?

The best deal for Memphis will be the one they do or they keep #4 pick. 

If they get really competitive offers, best believe we gonna get rid of one of Prince or Collins, trade our other picks in this class and eat ALL of Parsons abomination of a contract. 

Who's competing with us? Aside from the Mavs I thought we were the only team capable of eating that contract without sending anything back. The Cavs could maybe give them Love if they know LeBron is gone but those are the only teams I can think of, aside from another team deciding to rebuild.

Bill Simmons just posted a fake trade that may shed some perspective on suitors.  

Sacramento got Patrick Beverly and the #4 pick

Memphis got Tobias Harris, #12, #13 and filler

LA Clippers got Parsons and #2

If that's true value as perceived around the league, then I was wrong that our #19 and even #30 for Parsons and #4 would be enough.

Understood that.  Maybe I should've phrased it they'd have to opt out and us renounce their cap holds.  

Once they opt out, I don't think there are any cap holds to renounce.  Could be wrong.

I'm definitely not a cap expert so I could be as well.

IDK wtf this thread is anymore so I guess it's a nice place to dump that Kawhi desperately wants to get out of San Antonio. Seems like he wants a bigger market for his branding, among other things (not trusting the Spurs medical staff etc).

Yep.  Unfortunately, Kawhi is putting himself ahead of the team.  I used to like him a lot, but I dislike players who always try to make things about themselves.

Yeah I was lending his writing to simply state if that's what people think the value of Parsons/#4 pick is, we need to move along.  Tobias Harris is a decent NBA player.  #12/#13 are good picks.

Simmons is an entertainment writer not a source for anything.

You see, this is the nonsense BS type of crap I'm talking about.

Why on God's green earth would the Clippers give up 12, 13, a 19 ppg scorer, a 12 ppg scorer for #2 and $49 million dollars in bad salary?  Seriously?  Think this through. Is Bill Simmons on mushrooms?  That deal makes absolutely no sense for the Clippers. Not to mention both Harris and Beverly are on expirings this year, Beverly is in his rookie year 4.  It's BS, don't even get involved in nonsense like this. National writers know nothing. They are selling click bait to the 3 biggest markets....

Agree with you on this.  Simmons is an entertainment writer who is just spitballing.  No need to give it the time of day.

Who didn’t think Vlade was taking Doncic? I’ve said this from day 1. Doncic is #1 or 2.

Still hoping he slips to us.  I don't expect it but the Kings do dumb things all the time so it leaves the door open for hope.

Trae Young is only working out for Atlanta, Orlando, Chicago, and New York. Schlenk is a Curry guy, Young has been compared to Curry (although he claims to model his game after Nash which I agree more with).

Schlenk said Hawks have narrowed it down to “3 or 4” players. Hawks sessions next week: Young, JJJ, Bamba, and Bagley. There’s your 3 or 4. Schlenk also mentioned trading back “a couple of spots” if the package was right. Swap with Dallas for their 2019 pick, unprotected? That should convey Top 5 again next year. 

So there it is in black and white. If Dallas sweetens the deal enough, Schlenk trades back to 5th and takes Young. If not, he takes Bagley. Bamba or JJJ if Bagley is gone.

If he trades back for Young and is really smart, which I think he is, he then bundles Schröder and the rest of our picks to move back into the top 10 and takes whoever’s left of Bamba, JJJ, Porter, or Bridges.

Hope you are wrong about Dallas's pick being top 5 next year, though!
