    So many hypothetical scenarios. Thunder wants Porzingis but dont have the ammo.

    Id take their first, etc. Etc. But dunno, gonna have to take a lot from both teams but still don't know if its enough. Even unloading deng.

    Would you take their firsts, give up Deng,Black,Brewer and get Oladipo,Courtney Lee,Steven Adams?

    Im just thinking of a deal you cant refuse scenario lol. Stirring the pot.

    ^giving up 2nd string and end of bench players for their two starters, who are arguably their second and third best player, and their picks?

    I'm sure they'd like to rid themselves of those awful contracts but then we'd be stuck with two above average players making a total of ~$45mil a year for the next five years. That's almost half of the cap next year.

    I'd probably keep those two teams first, then probably flip Oladipo,Lee.
    Still not quite sure what I do with Adams but after seeing what Phil said... he's fronting and won't trade KP.

    If you're giving up #2 for that OKC Pkg, why help OKC at all? If NYK wants #2, I'd might as well get KP for myself, and ask for Lee/Melo and give them back Deng/JC or Brewer

    I'm cool with this



    Let Ball, Ingram, Randle loose, lets see what they can do. Let them make mistakes and learn from it and be ready for next year when we bag 2 all stars hopefully with the cap

    OK. Three way trade. I don't want this to happen mind you, but it might work.

    Clippers Out: Resigned Blake Griffin and one future first.
    Clippers In: Paul George
    Thunder Out: Oladipo, Sabonis and a future first
    Thunder In: Blake Griffin
    Pacers Out: Paul George
    Pacers In: Oladipo, Sabonis, and two firsts.

    Oh I'd love that for all three teams. Good on paper but bad for everyone.

    Except we have cheap, and legit youth on our hands. They don't.

    Atlanta could be an interested trade partner. They have to increase their salary and also need to make the youth movement. The team has $60mm in commitments.

    Maybe a Deng + Clarkson or Randle for Belinelli could work.

    I would see if Clipps would be interested in JC/Chi or Den 2nd for Beverly type deal, maybe take back Wes if need be. With Reddick moving on, clipps are lacking in the guards department, JC is better than that chump Austin IMO, hopefully West see's it that away instead of Crying Doc Rivers.

    Doc Rivers may not be long for LA if they want to rebuild.

    Didn't he pull that in Boston?

    Yup, didn't want to be around for a rebuild in Boston. I can imagine him stepping away and then West trades Austin Rivers for a bag of chips.

    I wonder who Jerry will pick for Ballmer to be the next head coach of the Clippers? It will be someone who's going to be a really good coach, we can probably book that.

    Nah the Logo is going to be the Logo for his 2 years that he is there. If Doc is gone at some point Jerry will have already told Ballmer who he should hire. Wonder how many years Jerry will have the health and energy to stick around fighting the curse. Of course he makes them better for it than on their own. Kind of wondering already what kind of behind closed doors head bumping he and Doc may get into.

    I would offer Deng/2020 future unprotected 1st for Crawford. Crawford is some what expiring as he has $3mill guranteed next yr, read on realgm that $3mill can actually be stretch waived? if anybody can confirm, than the hit would be $1mill for 3 yrs, so essentially we gain 17mill in cap next season as well. I was thinking of swapping for JC for Bazemore as well but not sure how some would feel bout Bazemore making that kind of $ and his stat line was actually worse than JC last yr.

    even though KCP is here I still hope mgmt. can get creative and move Deng for Wade with some future picks or Hart/Bryant or something like that or even a nance, could give Chi fans some highlights next yr.

    The thought of Wade being the leader off the bench would be dope lol.

    I think Wade would be bought out to be with CP2 and Melo
