    No protections is nice. Hoping for a complete collapse from these teams in those years, given our track record with 2nd rounders it's a nice steal for Majok.

    And if we aren't in the playoffs by the deadline, Calderon should be dealt for another future second.

    We're going to start to look like the C Bags with all these 2nd rounders were accumulating.

    Except our scouting department actually knows how to scout. The C Bags have been squandering picks for at least 3 years now.

    Yes, and the 15th most ever by a rookie. And the most by a 19 year old (crushing Steph Marbury's 102 with 130).

    Nice. He wasn't even all that efficient. Maybe his Steph role model isn't the worst thing in the world. I don't think he'll ever be that good, but he could be a great shooter still. Having Calderon and Clarkson and Ingram in practice will help raise that competitiveness just like Klay, Steph, and Green (and now Durant) play off each other. I dig it.

    With him starting to "figure it out" as he said he would and blow up in November ..... before being ripped along with Randle from the starting lineup.

    Not bad given his mostly uneven season as far as minutes are concerned never mind the 24 Farewell Tour as well...

    Calderon is making what 7.7 million? 2 second rounders go for $3 million. That pays for the majority of his salary. You can also use those 2nd rounders to facilitate deals. For instance, we use our 2019 2nd rounder on Roy Hibbert or just sell them for cash considerations. Anyway, good deal. Very good deal.

    Great deal. I hope those are high picks as well. It would be nice assets for a trade if we need to make them. I think the Lakers have enough youth, they need some ammo now in case stuff comes up. Maybe even use them to unload Nick Young.

    Should be a non guaranteed contract for a 1st round pick essentially (early 30s). Bulls pick will probably be middle of the pack the following year...very nice haul.

    Nice packageable trade assets as well ;)

    Cmon Mitch, we need that NBA Live special trade. Sorry Caldy, we'd be doing him a favor though actually at his age getting traded to someone trying to go on a playoff run. But if the right deal comes up hey, sorry it's a business lol.
