    Is he any good? Or we’ll just hate him after 10 games, too?

    he'll forget how to shoot here, but he's been a target of mine since last year and others have mentioned him here this year.

    not sure he's worth a future first, simply because we need to stop trading picks 5 years out.

    guessing we've been trying to move one of our useless vets + two 2nds for him and okc's demanding a 1st. this cuffs character is a lebron guy it seems, so this is likely pressure on management from our shadow gms. as much as i like williams, i wouldn't give a first.

    instead, try to find a williams of your own in FA instead of bringing in dudes on their last legs.

    The Lakers are basically one step away from that same scenario. We traded KCP/Kuz/Harrell and a 1st for Westbrook.

    Our only trade option is to trade Westbrook and another 1st for John Wall….

    Per Stein the market for Thad Young has gone quiet.

    Hopefully that means they'll do right by him and buy him out. He'd be the ideal buyout addition. All parties just have to be extremely quiet on the front because if Pop thinks he's coming here, he'll hold on to him for spite.

    Kings would be interesting: horrible contract in Fox. Heir apparent in Hallibirton. After the DeAngelo Russel fiascos no one is going to shell out for Fox.

    Russ for Fox and Barnes works straight up. Both teams move on from their mistakes

    I’d do that in a New York minute, but why would Sac do it?

    One of those no market situations: who is going to want to trade for Fox and that contract? He's Russell 2.0

    They've been absolutely awful. who the f*** knows what they want to do but he's got a near max contract.

    the pr hit would be astounding there. i think they'd rather move him for another big contract who's disappointed but is also younger. at this point, trading for russ is going to be impossible to sell to a fanbase.

    it's not like if sac only had a clean cap sheet, they'd suddenly have a path to being competitive.

    Basically 1st rounder for LaVert? Market doesn't seem so extreme here - Lakers have the ability to get things done but I don't know if the Buss's have the willingness to take on salary

    Good pick up for the Cavs, theyve been looking for a secondary playmaker and Levert is a prett good one

    Based on what they did this summer, I would bet the farm that they won’t.

    That's much less than Indy's initial ask. Looks like Sabonis could be next.

    man, it's like we got a time machine set back 15 years ago when expiring contracts ruled the world.

    maybe we should keep westbrook as a 47m expiring next year and like, get jokic or something.
