2016 Rumor Mill: Trades and Players to Watch

What the heck is Philadelphia going to do LOL

Also, if I'm the Lakers, I'm probably flipping Hibbert for an asset since I don't think he is in the long-term plans.

 

interesting proposal. Not sure how motivated they would be to do that. We don't necessarily need Heinrich, but could waive fuzzy head to make it happen.he's not any worse for sure.

We'd have to make an open roster spot for Felatio

Is he a good ball handler? Can he defend back door? How is he at rim protection?

 

Felatio!!! Hahaha....choking on peanut butter doesn't feel good (morning bagel w/ PB almost coming out my nose)

 

Glad you clarified the bagel thing. Felatio and choking on peanut butter in the same sentence raised my eyebrows.

 

Hibbert is not netting you an asset, man. We traded for him with a 2nd round draft pick. As we both know and seen, he hasn't done anything to enhance his value whatsoever this season. In fact, he's lowering his value with his current play. He clearly has some limitations. Just not happening. I think he's gone in the summer, though. We need to move in a different direction.

 

Still a big expiring contract and may hold value for a contender. Never know!

You only need two teams interested to start the bidding war. A sudden injury to a guy like Kanter could raise his value to a contender that is getting ready for a playoff run.

 

My unscientific research is that there will always be an open roster spot for fellatio

It is just the nature of the way things are. It probably is hard to allocate a roster spot to though - Maybe a ten day contract?

 

Presti wouldn't look twice at Hibbert. He's here for the remainder of the season. So, we'll continue witnessing him fumbling passes, falling down, and throwing up his patented hook shots that brick the majority of the time.

 

Bulls shopping their bigs:

I've been a fan of Gibby for ages, Noah has a heart and motor that never quit...his body might thought, and wouldn't Pau coming back for Kobe's final couple months add a little nostalgia to the farewell tour.

 

just to ruin our draft possibilities? Can't see us trying to get much of value in return except for picks with other expiring contracts.

 

lol Pau

 

I say the lakers throw everything and the kitchen sink at barnes. If not derozan

 

Hibbert , Young have no value right now other than a 2nd rounder

 

Interesting article about JC next contract

Would we get Noah's bird rights if we trade for him?

 

not sure noah's bird rights are worth a ton. with his health issues, you don't want to offer the extra year, and his cap hold will be pretty hefty. this isn't like getting a guy on his rookie deal or a low-salaried, over-performing vet, in which cases bird rights are huge.

ironically, the chandler parsons situation in houston is the ideal one for a team. houston just botched it in several ways at the end.

of course, most players in that situation won't be traded, anyway, precisely because they're in that situation.

anyway, i don't see the lakers doing a lot prior to the deadline. i think mitch will try to hit a home run (like cousins or something) using some of our young talent, but i'm guessing it won't be there and/or the offer will get trumped (e.g., boston offers bkn's unprotected top 5 pick).

but he's not going to add salary beyond this year for a non-allstar, imo. which rules out most trade possibilities.

i'm ok with that, though. focus on developing the young guys, keep bass and lou around as useful vets on reasonable deals, and hope to do better in the summer trade/FA market than they have of late.

 

If we got DeRozan or Harrison Barnes that would be a huge hit. I think they would work better for a team needing to develop a couple more years, Durant is a win-now player and I don't think we're going to be that type of team for a couple more years
