That's not a bad trade IMO. Derozan is only garunteed 10M on his contract next season. He is still a high level bucket getter, a consistent scorer is of high value in the playoffs.

 

I'm just hoping this Giannis s*** finally comes to a resolution. Whether it's NY, Miami or GS, let's get it over with. Ready for this holding pattern to end and for us to stop holding out for a star with a questionable fit.


Guess we know where mom wants him to go.

Yeah, Minny ain't helping us. Dallas ain't dealing with us.

I like Hunter but he can't stay healthy that's a red flag. He's having a bad year, how much of a discount does that put him on? Lack of aggregation makes trade balance, like you mentioned. I'm not giving up a pick or Rui for him.

I wonder if Luka encourages our Naji's pursuit.

I've been thinking he'd be a good 16 game player to pry when they blow it up. He and Smart would be our

Team needs to expend a lot of energy to play D and when they don't have their legs - things go wrong quickly.

Come on Austin need you back

 

The Gianiss saga is a joke.

the Cleveland LeBron tribute video tampering video what a joke. Come on Cleveland how many tributes videos have you given him.

figure it out in the off season.

 

Better be getting a first round pick back as well lol

 

Haha lol

 

You gotta ask yourself who has the better trade package out of us. For Gianiss.

1. Lakers Reaves picks

2. Warriors Kaminga Pudznick Butler picks

3. Heat Wiggins Jacquez Herro picks. Ware
Not sure Miami would include Ware and probably either Herro or Wiggins.

but the team would be centered around Gianiss Powell and Bam.

 

we're definitely third because reaves is UFA. if he was already under contract, we'd potentially be first, though our lack of picks hurts a bit.

 

Losing by 30 stings. I was unable to watch that unfortunately. This team acts like it's on mood meds. They are like a box of chocolates. But with a decent winning record. But 30 points???? Ouch.

 

Can't decide whether the GS or MIA trade packages are more appealing. GS has the big Butler contract that would be an expiring contract next year, meh young players in Kuminga/Podz/Moody, but a greater volume of picks that may be more attractive given how old a Steph/Giannis/Draymond team will be. Miami has the Wiggins contract that would be an expiring next year and the big Terry Rozier expiring (if they can even trade him, idk how the league is going to treat him given the gambling scandal thing). Herro/Jaquez/Ware are better young players than what GS can offer, but Miami has less attractive picks in terms of volume and quality.

The Wolves apparently also being in on this is interesting. I don't see any way they get Giannis without giving up McDaniels, whom the Bucks could keep or immediately sell for multiple firsts. Gobert/Randle/McDaniels for Giannis/Turner works salary wise, I don't think that you can play Giannis and Gobert together. If Gobert is part of this trade, any chance we could get it on this and have him re-rerouted here? He's 33 and makes $35 million, but is still pretty damn good and a way better fit than Ayton.

I just hope Giannis stays out East. I'd like it to be Miami so there's another interesting team in the East, but NY would be fun too I guess.
