    I think you're barking up the wrong tree. While sirron is no basketball dummy, he's dug in deep against Lebron. No turning back now. :Lebronsmoking:

    Markieff Morris is repped by Rich Paul/Klutch and is on an expiring 8.6m deal. He is the quintessential backup for Bron during the regular season and would be grimey AF for the playoffs.

    Jeff Green is on an expiring 2.3m min deal.

    The Wiz are about 7.8m above the tax theshold and just waived Chasson Randle to get to a roster of 13 and got a little more tax relief as a result.

    Beas, Zu and Svi make just about 6.5m and are just enough in salary to bring back the 11m in aggregated salary of Morris/Green.

    In doing so, the Wiz shed roughly 5m in team salary and can get into a less stringent tax bracket (0-5m above the threshold). They can save even more money by waiving Beas once they receive him in trade.

    The long-term cost is Svi, but getting back Morris (an insurance towards our 4yr Bron investment) and Green would be an amazing get for our playoff roster.

    A smaller scale trade could also be Beas/Zu for Morris.

    More than any potential Beal trade (to the chagrin of Real), I think targetting Morris (and Green) would be the better Wiz trade option.

    KCP/2nd for Taj....Minn has a logjam at PF spot now with Saric coming in. Taj has said he's willing to come off the bench, not that its a bad idea but Hart at PF from last 2 games dont seem smart to me and James dont really want to bang with PF either.

    He’s basically a genius. Does he work in the NBA? Legit question.

    Pump your brakes bro...once upon a TIME, I dealt 9 (not 11, like others may have you believe) players for Kawhi.

    So the answer is no...Not sure if it's a legit answer cause it's coming from my crazy illegitimate a** haha.

    On a separate note, Bron fans ain't so bad.

    Someone called Vash a genius. Mods, please check to see if dude has multiple accounts and is talking to himself. It's happened before, right @sirronstuff ?

    In related news, look for new members to join the site that claim they're Punk and that they were unceremoniously banned. It's absolutely untrue and it's a mere coincidence that Punk's real life commitments led to him never posting here...ever again.

    Just take my word for it...I mean, would a genius mislead y'all?

    Do people post here that work for the team or in the business? I would kind of assume there would be more pro LeBron posts if there were, but obviously with usernames it’s hard to tell.

    I used to think Trudell was on ReslGM because he brought up stuff on air verbatim from topics there.

    9 players! Holy Guacamole! I might not think super highly of some of our young talent, but I don’t think you can completely gut the roster when you know you have a chance to get him without losing assets next year.

    We’ll need to trade them for other quality vets if we are serious about championships, but I doubt more than 2 of them are left by opening day next year.

    Sorry, I don’t know what games you’re watching or what coolaid you’re drinking, but pretty sure it’s of the 200 proof variety.

    After all these years rehabbing my image, just like that - careless words takes us back to a darker time.

    He’s given me no reason to change my mind about him for longer than one week. This ends in disappointment unless he becomes our secondary star.

    Thibs loves Taj though so don't think he's a target despite their logjam.

    Well those moves were a cap mandated must, if Laker fans wanted 3max players here with LABron/Kawhi and either Boogie or the artist formerly known as Paul George were to join them within the 101.9m cap confine.

    I didn’t even think that three Max players was even possible. But if I guess the idea is to fill-in with minimum contracts around them, that seems really risky.

    Hi mileage stars like LeBron should not be relied on to carry the team for 40 minutes a night. At least not during the regular season.

    Well s***...



    Pelicans and Portland would be better fits. He's redundant here where as those two teams can use his firepower, theoretically. For Pelicans, he would bolster the bench and can help when Randle/AD/Mirotic get nagging injuries. Portland has always needed the extra scoring threat outside of Lillard and CJ.

    BS if true I'm not watching full games now, with Melo probably going to rely on Chook's highlights exclusively. no time for having mental breakdowns watching live games

    Not many fans of Cp3 around these parts, especially after the dust up. But throwing shade at MDA is always dope (and the timing is suspect, considering Melo ousted MDA from NY and now the 'stache most likely had a role in ousting Melo from Houston). Btw, Cp3 & Melo have the same agent.



    So now you have the dubs in disarray, Htown in disarray and the Wolves most likely out the way.
