  1. I feel bad for CMB if he needs to battle trees all the time…he's getting minutes but he will get bumped in his first season lmao

  2. Not sure if we can get Jay Huff with that package. Pacers have no center depth whatsoever for next year assuming they dont get some random FA in the off season. Would be hyped if we got blessed with it though

  3. I myself have been pushing the trade for Huff hype train this year, I'm glad to see that others are agreeing

  4. Guys enough with Keon Ellis 😂. He barley plays for The Kings! He is so overrated. We can not trade a feiggin 1 RND pick! Wtf

  5. @benrogers brook lopez or gafford dont work. they make too much money. it defeats the point of getting under the tax, it puts the raptors more into tax. which means they dont get their mid level exception and Mamu walks for nothing in free agency at the end of the season because the raptors cant afford him. lopez is 37 also and is washed and has back problems of his own that kept him out most of last season.

    gaffords 14 million salary is too much to cover without gutting your bench. mavs also want a young player (cmb) and a first for gafford.

    magic wont trade goga also, so you can forget that idea. goga is their reliable back up with mo coming off acl surgery. why would the magic trade away their reliable back up center?

  6. Jay huff would be nice. He’s quick for his size and could easy play starting minutes but Indiana is one of these stubborn teams to trade with. They would likely ask for some kind of package around Walter or Dick instead.

  7. @benrogers go look at your own trade, you gonna give up a 1st and a 2nd for jay huff? no thanks pass. its better to just sign mo bamba. also i doubt pacers are gonna trade jay huff, they actually looking to get another center along with huff for next year. they can just sit jay huff, he is a nobody with no all star appearances to tank.

  8. For Lopez….thanks for your service Battle. See ya! Lopez, a 3pt shooting true big fills a number of weaknesses for us. It's a hell ya. Do the deal with Agbaji and Dick and we get under the cap too. L.A. gets younger adn we have a legit shot to run at the east.

  9. Raps were NOT over. But they were very close to it. Just under 150k under. Sandro and Garret were signed with exception use. Bamba has them over if he isn’t cut by the tax calculation date as he’s non Gauranteed. RAps have natural options to get under. It’s one of the limitations of Hoopshype and other salary lists – they can’t know exception usage and lots of reporters just look at the chart and make assumptions.

    They are shopping Ochai because they cannot resign him. He’s an RFA at the end of the season. They won’t have room to keep him and he’s at a position of duplication.

    I want to see JV for Ochai. Denver is in a better way to use Ochai anyway. And Jokic and JV are currently out. If they were Healthy I say Denver doesn’t move JV – but there’s some wiggle at the moment.

  10. also suns want to trade nick richards for less money to get under the tax. so they wont take ochai. so gradey and a 2nd for richards wont work even. he makes too much. it would have to be jakobe walter and a 2nd for nick richards for the trade to work.

  11. Jrue Holiday is on the cusp of coming back from his injury.
    Raptors has targeted him before he was traded to Portland for Anfernee Simons.
    There was a rumour of Barrett and the 9th pick (CMB) for Holiday when he was with the Celtics. Glad they turned that offer down.
    Chauncey Billups wanted Jrue but since he is not there (legal issues) I think he can be had for IQ plus Agbaji and a first rounder. In terms of their contracts, they are comparable. IQ is also 9 years younger so Portland may be interested in him.

  12. @benrogers how come you didnt include the senior league player in temple in any trades? next year he wearing depends diapers.

  13. I usually stay away from trade rumor postings because it's all speculation and if one happens it's usually not what everyone expects. However since it involves Agbaji, the most obvious candidate, I thought I would give it a shot. Nope, still ends up sounding like a bunch of wish lists.

  14. I am all about basketball……who cares about the business stuff. Some find this more interesting than the sport itself.
