2024-25 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

Rebounds at the same clip as Mikal Bridges.

 

Capela is not available for trade. And even if he was, he wouldn't be in your closing lineup. So your brilliant idea is losing DLo that gives us 30+ minutes, 3rd in point scoring and BEST shooter for Capela that plays less minutes, doesn't close and leaves us thinner at PG. Mastermind

 

Yes, who's a 3 and smaller. Grant is a 4 and bigger. Great argument

 

1. capela makes more than dlo. we can't make that trade because of the second apron.
2. why does atlanta do this? they have scoring guards already, capela's already an expiring contract, and they own our 2025 pick.
3. as pika said, now we have to go get a pg.

next suggestion.

 

Man you don't know WTF you are talking about.Grant is 6'7 SF/PF. Bridges is 6'7 too.

 

i think you're discounting the possibility that the rebuild phase goes longer than you think...maybe into forever (as it was trending, pre-lebron).

i agree that the russ trade ended everything. that was just a catastrophe from which there is no recovery.

i still think our plan is to try to use the draft capital we have to get donovan mitchell or higher. honestly, trading for a superstar is probably easier than drafting one. i really think the timetable that the FO has ends after this year. if we can't make a big move by next summer, i think lebron could retire or walk somewhere else and AD would then be open to a trade. but we can't trade AD against his will while lebron is still here.

 

We have two PG and Reaves and Lebron. We don't need to replace Tinkerbell with a PG. Idk what Atlanta wants to do with Trae either, he wants out apparently. C'lo would tide them over for a second.

We can throw in Lewis and make the salaries match.

 

I thought Mitchell would rather play with Bam in Miami over here?

 

lebron's a s*** pg, which is why he's always demanding we go get one. reaves also has not excelled in that role, imo, on either side of the ball. he can play the spot in the half court, but he can't handle the burden of handling against ball pressure for 30+ mpg.

how do we know trae wants out? because of a cryptic prayer emoji?

 

mitchell won't ask to come here if we don't have AD.

which teams do this all the time?

most teams draft a superstar (which takes many attempts and failures), hopes to surround them with enough talent, has a very brief contention window, then rinses and repeats--this is a decade-plus long cycle. our fanbase couldn't handle 5 years of crap ball.

okc is some massive success story that's basically just done this twice separated by 10 years. it's a different kind of misery. i guess they sell it to fans as hope during the down years, but make no mistake, those are down years. i was here during the kids era, and the fun and hope wore off fast.

 

I'm also watching the situation in Sacramento. Fox didn't sign an extension. He's with Klutch. I'm wondering if we're not monitoring his situation, prioritizing him, and planning on forcing his way here if Sac doesn't improve.

 

And your brilliant idea is to run Chokeolo back? Rob has been trying to give him away if you hadn't noticed. All that jazz is irrelevant if he disappeared in the playoffs. Do you really need to see it thrice, to get that message?

How do you know we can't close with Capela anyway? You are basing this of of what exactly? So..if we are facing a team with a legit big, what's you solution..f*** it..play AD at 5 anyway?

 

I commend LeBron for being willing to sacrifice up to 20 mil for the team.Rob is dropping the ball how can this roster be paid 2nd apron money?

 

WTF do we have Vincent and JHS for? Vincent started on a team that just recently went to the Finals. Lebron and Austin are just fine as half court facilitators, they are doing it more than Tinkerbell, at the end of games now.

 

We're not trading AD, IMO. LBJ probably plays 2 more years and he's gone.

There might be a scenario now where we try to salary dump to clear roster space and just make moves around the margin.

It wouldn't surprise me if we keep these picks going into the season and into next summer, IMO.

 

morey rode harden forever, made the guy a king, did literally everything harden wanted all the time. he left the job instead of trading harden.

embiid's still attracting people to philly despite never finishing a season upright.

 

Trade AD..SMH. LOL..NO.
