[ESPN] Miles Plumlee to Charlotte for Roy Hibbert/Spencer Hawes

AHAHAHAHAHAHA
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ihad a bad day being sick and this just made it all better. A miracle!

 

Your trash for my trash. Let's swap trash.

Desperate, underachieving teams make desperate, underachieving moves.

 

It's been such a quiet trade season. Teams are trading players less and less every year. That used to be a big part of the NBA.

I know. Who targets Miles freaking Plumlee....and for a while?

 

Like a turd.

SPLASH!!!

 

Which Plumlee brother is this again, is this the one that played in Phoenix, Milwakee has too many big bodies.
Wtf happened to Hibbert? Man don't let Paul George anywhere near your girl, it could ruin your career lol

 

Or,

Mason Plumlee is the Markieff Morris

Miles Plumlee is the Marcus Morris

 

Or,

Mason Plumlee is the Cody Zeller

Miles Plumlee is the Tyler Zeller

 

lol Early indications give a C- verdict for the Hornets. Why make the move at all???

edit: btw, I don't care about the Bucks at all. I only watch them for Giannis. If a genie granted me 3 wishes, one of them would be to make Giannis a Rocket.

 

Actually, in reading that the Hornets have wanted Plumlee for awhile, the real question is: Why, God? WHY?

 

Well now THAT is interesting, we could use him as a backup Stretch 4.

DD

 

Oh ok lol

Btw i don't even know what to say about this deal, really...

 

the Bucks have 5 centers. 5! LMAO.

Most probably will make another trade in the next weeks. Henson or Monroe has to go.

Also there's some little logic behind Charlotte. Except for the $ , Plumlee should be a good enough fit. He's not useless. He set good screens and is a great PNR roll man. Should be good with Kemba.
Traded two trash players on "good" contracts for a better player on a trash contract.

 

Or,

Mason Plumlee is @Mathloom


Miles Plumlee is @SamFisher

 

The deal isn't terrible for the Hornets.

Get rid of two perennial losers in Hibbert/Hawes. Pickup a decent backup C at what will VERY soon be a decent price at 12 million a year.

12 million is the new 5 million in today's NBA.

 

Or,

Mason Plumlee is the Jason Collins

Miles Plumlee is the Jarron Collins

 

Ehh I actually think that there is a little more risk for Charlotte, but also more upside. $12,000,0000 a year isn't much at all in modern NBA dollar terms. If Plumlee is able to be a back end of the rotation big, he will earn his money.

For Milwaukee, they move a contract and player they don't really care much for. The issue is what/who can they get on the free agent market for that money.

 

Imagine a team of:

Curry/Curry
Dragic/Dragic
Morris/Morris
Millsap/Millsap
Gasol/Gasol

With a bench of:
Lopez/Lopez
Holiday/Holiday

I am guessing the Plumlee and Zeller bros don't make the team.

 

It's pretty bad.

I mean, I get that there is still a wee bit of potential upside for Miles Plumlee. Just the smallest of potential that he can maybe turn into something like his brother in the right setting.

But all indications are that's very unlikely to happen at this point.

$12.5 million isn't what it was 2 years ago, but you also can't afford to have that contract on your team, with 3 more years guaranteed, while still fielding a great team.

But more than anything, it's the deal itself that is just bad. The Bucks had no use for Plumlee and he had a contract that was going to be hard to move. Even if the Bobcats wanted him, thinks he has upside and will play into his contract, it doesn't mean you just go ahead and give the Bucks immediate salary cap relief. It has the feel that they were out negotiated. LIke they asked for a draft pick, but were told sorry we have a better offer, so they quickly caved.
