2019/20 Players' Transactions: Breaking News , Trades, Free Agents, And Rumors

Julius has the higher ceiling for sure, but Capela fits our needs of an inside scorer and defensive presence.

He’s doing well for himself in Houston and his mobility at his size fits the pace for a small ball Center.

 

I know, but It’s better than having to give up one of Ingram, Zo, or Kuz.

At least with getting Nerlens back, as much as he hasn’t shown any promise, he does have a chance to redeem himself on a young team like ours and if he pans out, we own his bird rights. Even if he ends up been like Capela, that would work in our favor.

 

Randle has shown real progress this season . He's 23 and at 12-15 millions he's a keeper.

You just can't dump him to clear cap space .

As for Capela , he's a good player but how efficient would he be without James Haren and with our poor spacing ? Now imagine how Randle would perform in Capela's current role ... already being one of the best PNR rollers in the league worst offense

 

I long for the day for scenarios that get us a final championship piece vs angling to get to .500 or opening cap space for a pipe dream

 

So do I sirron, so do I!

 

why on god's green earth would orlando trade gordon?

 

Lmao why would you trade your best player. I'd look to move Payton before Gordon.

 

maybe gordon is gona ask for max? i like the guy too but this season is a big anomaly to his 1st 3yrs, especially 3pt shooting n its declining. i would be very leary of paying Gordon max, i wouldve said same thing bout randle if he was performing like gordon this season

 

Yet, you bring in 2 max type guys, give them the same usage ratio and surround them with 20 year olds and sim the season. My bet is we have more wins. At the very least, LA would be on fire!

 

of course they would, the uncertainty of that happening is what most are concerned with...whats the contingency plan if not even 1 max come and we're 2 less solid players on the team?

 

@Khmrp 2 Max players come to the table and agree to sign...oh s***, Jules and JC are still on the roster. There's some spiteful owners out there so our potential trade partners dwindle if we wait for a free agent commitment. Of course you need a contingency, but you also need to project an unfavorable scenario. We sit on these guys and wait to trade them when FAs agree to commit...however, at that point we're looking at paying a premium to deal those guys away (or even letting them walk away for no assets in return in Jules' case) because opposing GMs will know we are at their mercy and they have the leverage in order to make our 2 max fantasy a reality.

The contingency is you deal those players away right now, in order to prevent the scenario described above from happening.

And again, we're losing with them. So if this same roster is without them next year, then find more stop gaps and go find a star. Those 2 aren't stars and possibly never will be. We need a star. That's blatantly obvious by now. Till then, you can't let them block you from potentially bringing in stars that want to play with each other and you certainly can't let an asset like Jules walk away for nothing in return.

 

move clarkson 1st, jr is up to our discretion, he should be the contingency plan...another yr of this bs is another yr us fans have to endure a bad product
