2019/20 Players' Transactions: Breaking News , Trades, Free Agents, And Rumors

i'm still wondering if the lakers have a counter for george should lebron stay in cleveland (or go to houston). do they have a separate trade in mind that could bring in a running mate, sort of like what phx tried to do when they signed chandler to entice aldridge, except there's no one to sign outright in this case.

detroit was trying to move drummond last year. if they miss the playoffs, will they consider it again? will washington consider moving wall or beal? will memphis move gasol in the summer?

 

If we dont have a legit contender and trade for wall, we're gona be in cap hell and luxury tax nightmare once his super max kicks in. I think Lillard is gona bounce, that preemptive meeting is just a foreshadowing, Dame is saying all the right things but can anyone honestly see Por being any better than they currently are with the amt of bad contracts they have?

 

oh i wasnt implying dame to us, i think if por continues this treadmill for the next 2yrs n dame for whatever reason doesnt qualify or gets the super max, i see him leaving via FA

 

I've seen Anthony Davis mentioned, but this is interesting...



Is the main thought that he has just had bad low seeded teams and gets trounced in the 1st round, or does he really have empty numbers, and is a good #2 guy?

 

Love Wall, but his knees concern me; you know better than I do with the reckless style he plays with that can possibly shorten his career.

Lillard? I take him all day.

 

Assuming?

 

There's no such thing as empty stats, but the value of every point, rebound, and assist will vary depending on how competitive the team is. In the case of Davis, one can definitely argue that his numbers are inflated playing for a bad team. I find it doubtful that he'd get the same numbers on a contender like GSW, for example. He deserves criticism for his team underachieving, and yes, I feel that he's a bit overrated. The media often refers to him as the 3rd best player in the league but that's just laughable when he's so consistently unavailable for his team. He's not a 1st tier star like Kobe, Durant, Curry or Lebron. Not until he can prove to be successful on a competitive team. And prove that he can stay on the court.

 

I always thought Minn Kevin Love was an empty stats guy to me, he would put 30/20 gms and his team would still get blown out. I use to look at some of box score gms where he'd only have something like 10pts n 5board at the half but his team would be down 20 but by end of the gm he'd get 30+ n 20+ but yet minn would still be losing by 10-20

 

Stephen A claims that Leonard's uncle (who is his agent) has been the one causing problems with the Spurs.
Is Leonard's uncle name LaVar Leonard? Hope his uncle pushes him to LA!

 

i view davis as kg II. he's one of the very best players in the league, imo. his teams have routinely been...uninspiring, through no fault of his own. i think you give him an allstar wing (legit, not wally sczerbiak), and he's going to win you 50+ games, maybe 60.

durability has definitely been an issue, though.

put it this way: if boston gets him (like they did kg), i think they become a juggernaut a la golden state.

 

If C Bags get AD next to Kyrie and Hayward, im done watching basketball.

 

Isn't it tampering and Magic was fined for same s*** ?

 

I dont think those rules apply to players, only coaches/mgmt.

 

It does.
