as a denver fan, losing payton sucks. Even though denver doesn't look very good going into the next season, I still have a pretty good bet that they are gonna be surprisingly competitive next year. If Christian braun has a better year for sure we won't be bad. But also the way Cam was moving on offense towards the end of last season- if that rolls over into the next, I'm sure the team is gonna be fine. Julian strawther also looks pretty hungry to improve
I guess a b+??? Relative to whatever shit deal they couldve gotten lmao
Cavs now got Cam Witmore for free basically. They cooked.
This is a complete organizational failure from the Nuggets. From overpaying Nnaji to then negotiating against themselves to give Braun all that money. Watson, rightfully so, based his contact negotiations by Braun's. If the Nuggets hadn't overpaid Braun then this negotiation with Watson would have been immensely easier. This trade didn't happen in a vaccum. Because it didn't happen in a vaccum is why this is a complete disgrace by the front office.
The moment LeBron refused to go home, all Cavs knew this would happen. Just had to wait out Denver
Max Strus and ‘others’ weren’t the reason the Cavs lost that series against the Knicks. Harden and Mitchell taking a lot of bad shots rather than run an offense and get the bigs involved in some post up looks to re-open space for the guards to attack again shows a lack of what it takes to control a game in a playoff setting. The coach should have corrected this style of play mid 4th quarter after watching it lose them the lead in less than 15 minutes. So I blame the coach just as much for sitting there and allowing that to happen, when he’s the one who had the team playing unselfish basketball all year. I lowkey wonder if the Cavs were told to ‘take a dive’ (aka throw the series), because it makes no sense how they played for 3 quarters, and then just started playing the most stupid brand of basketball they’ve played all year. Throwing may be in Harden’s make-up, but not the rest of the team’s make-up. I’m a Lakers fan, so don’t even start accusing me of rose colored glasses and copium. I could less about the Cavs, but I just thought that was a very strange choke job. Cavs literally never made an effort for the rest of the series after those 3 quarters. It’s like the fix was in, and makes me wonder how Harden could so confidently say that the better team didn’t win that series, unless he knew the Cavs threw the series on purpose after dominating them for 3 quarters.
Nah nuggets definitely not a B+ on this. I get they had to get rid of him but getting nothing but an iffy pick is 👎🏾Cavs and clippers definitely won this, nuggets on a downhill trajectory ever since MPJ trade fr
That second apron bs is messing up the league. Teams can't even build properly anymore. At the same time, Ironically, the whole reason the second apron exists is the cba has been set up to over pay (star players). Things have been set up to have 70, 80 percent of a teams money tied up i to a couple of players; which makes no since in the first place. But this set is cause a lot of good players to possibly have to go to another league. The whole system is F'ed and is gonna even kill the league
Denver got a new defender from the draft and that one guy that play in euroleague
denver should just blow it up/revamp who says no? (not including whatever pick distrubutions):
denver get senguin, vanvleet, quickley, poeltl, and (reaves or paolo/da silva rockets get jokic raptors get murray
lakers get cam johnson and braun
or magic get braun and gordan
Poor Kuminga 😅
Trade did nothing for both teams
I think I would put Mobley on khawi. Khawi is kinda slow anyway
Deadahh jus watched a vid calling the trade an F
I think Denver got that asset to try and package with Braun or Cam to try and get an upgrade at one of those two spots for similar or less money.
B+ where?? 😂😂😂 this is easily one of the worst trades of the offseason. The nuggets are now one AG injury away from being a 40 win team next season
Hmm not sure if CAVS is winning i guess we will see. Hopefully it’s not turn out to be DeAndre Hunter 2.0.
Cavs are a legit 6 to 9 seed. No team with James Harden on it can be taken seriously. Especially at that age. So a team reliant on mitchell and watson aint going far.
Kuminga back to Atlanta 🔥🔥🔥
Ohhh YES MATT, KEEP IT A FORTNITE V BUCK WITH ME😂😂😂
This is really bad for the Nuggets. Peyton was their best perimeter defender and surprisingly can create his own shot when Jokic was out with the injury. He is much better than Braun in all areas. Huge mistake signing Braun to that contract… it sets the bar for Peyton's value.
Uhhh, Watson is not better than Strus!
Happy the nuggets got basically nothing, but disappointed my bucks couldn’t get this done. I guess the pick was too heavy a price, which is understandable
Nuggets get publicly clowned for lack of defense, then trade their best defender and get nothing back now. Way to go. They should've got at least Strus. Clippers have some pieces, Kawhi mess pending.
You and the SROS guy need to do a debate immediately
You really don't know anything about basketball at all. The nuggets have no opportunity to compete whatsoever when they needed to overhaul their roster they gutted it and you think it's a good thing for them to waste the prime of the greatest basketball player to ever put on a jersey.. just stop.
Good analysis 🎉
Den fxxxed up paying Braun $25 mil rather than Watson.
Joker should leave next yr.
It's over.
Den F.
thanks
"a cool deal" lol good analysis.
Nuggets suck. They didn’t do shit. Trade a different player not Watson .
i don't understand your logic. nuggets lose watson for a chance at maybe getting a good young player in . cavs pay $88 million to watson based on some big stats he put up while most of the nuggets were on the IR list. do you really think this is a "perfect" trade? the clippers "won" the trade because they got a pretty decent nba player – strus – without giving up anyone…
