Morey is no longer the best trader, but he is the best signer for buyout market. I don't expect he can improve rosters much via trade.
Sure let's pivot and look at Oladipo's entire season in OKC and see if he still looked like a star in the making playing alongside Westbrook. There was no defining moment in his entire season at OKC that made anyone think "Yea this Dipo kid is going to turn out to be an All-Star". If you're arguing otherwise please provide some substantial evidence and I'll gladly stfu
No one wants a 34 year CP3 on 40mil/year contract? Really?! Color me surprised... because I thought the smartest GM in the league would've seen this a mile away.
I can tell Heat want Chris Paul. They have a lot of big contracts. It is unlikely to deal Paul for any all-star players.
The biggest fantasy are for posters who think they know on all the dealings (because they get it from the internetz) or what general managers want to trade for. They seem to think they can read minds.
Agree that ending up with AD us a fantasy, but with DM as our GM, you know that a: he'll be making a call to the Pels and making an offer and b: anything is possible.
Because he’s not going to resign. Why would someone waste their #1 pick to rent him be unhappy for a year and leave???? That makes no sense.
Stupid thread. No reasonable fan really thinks we have the inside track to land him. This easily could have been posted (and buried) in one of the other AD threads.
They lost with derozen plenty of times. They were willing to take a year risk to try to win it all, even if he does walk. They had a deep team and are #2 in the east , with Lebron gone. We’re talking about Zion #1 pick this is what a rebuilding team waits for
Everything could change as times change. No perception is right or wrong and it varies as time alters. Celtics can persuade Davis ....
I have seen this posted a lot- that Davis is going to let teams know he plans to sign with the Lakers in 2020 so if any other team trades for him, it would only be a rental. That may be entirely true. The problem I see with this is that's still a year and a half away. If a team is able to pull off a trade for Davis, that would give them still a year and a half to have him on their team and potentially compete with him, even longer than the most recent examples of Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and Kyrie Irving. But not only that, if some other team did that- what is Lebron even going to look like a year and half from now? When he is 35 and a half years old. Would Davis still want to sign there if Lebron has shown obvious signs of slowing down or becoming more injury prone? Lebron's days are numbered, and I think Davis' agent would say that just as a means to try to negotiate a trade to the Lakers now, but if that doesn't happen now a lot of things could change over that time that could potentially change Davis' mind.
