    I agree but really that’s the case for the whole eastern conference and league with the exception of like 3 teams. My question is, if Miami is in the ariza market why or how would they still be in the tucker market? it’s gotta be one of the other unless there’s a dipo tucker deal but I’d be surprised if Miami went after both ariza and tucker

    They can do whatever they want. If they want Tucker and feel like Tucker can help them then so be it. Let them have him, Oladipo... what goes on in Miami is Miami's problem. Just give us what we want and no bad contracts. Anything that can easily be traded in a three way or expiring as well. That's all that matters. We'll collect our youth from the draft and trade as we see fit later. Flexibility is our key right now. After this we need some extremely good talent scouts for the offseason to help make moves. Hopefully not named Fertitta.

    One is trade insurance for the other.

    I'm sure Heat only want one of them, whichever is the better deal methinks.

    You set me up as beautifully as Stockton to Malone. How often do I get to have a Tim Breaux trying to make the team flashback?

    Ariza is more of a three. They will probaly use tucker to defend the 3/4 players. Ariza is versatile enough to defend Kyrie and Harden. Tucker on KD

    I would take any of those deals with the Denver one being the most preferred. Wonder if we could throw in our gordon for mpj instead of bol bol

    But seeing Tucker and Ariza go at it with Beard would be much fun to watch.

    Yea I just don’t see them using trade capital on 2 35 year olds 1 of which who hasn’t played in a year and then saying hey go guard kyrie and harden. Possible but way more likely ariza or tucker not both

    Both likely to only cost SRP, maybe a young player for PJ.

    If I was the Nets, I'd grab them both to keep them away from Heat, Bucks, 6ers or another contender.

    On que--Dipo's performance tonight should assuage at least 1 or 2 team's angst. He was super efficient and played with a calm he hasn't had to his game, since maybe his first one with us. Made some really nice passes and hit some difficult shots. He would be an nice third option on any of those team's fighting the Nets in the East.

    Git'er done Stone before he gets hurt again--PLEASE!!!

    What capital? You can buy 2nd round picks anytime you want.

    BRK needs defenders.

    I'm ready to eat crow Ra-fell, just make this happen!

    We both know it's the right move.

    Don't let Gersshon snake you out of this trade.

    Wow.

    Even Magic Nation agree that their best value for AG is a 3 team trade with Rockets and Knicks. And they don't even expect a single FRP in return.

    It's like they've been reading this thread. :D

    Moreso, the players they covet are Knox, Rivers, BMac. Where have I heard that before? :)



    I tweaked the trade a tad to add bit more spice.

    https://tradenba.com/trades/Idg79PxQx

    NYK: Victor Oladipo, Gary Clark + Pistons FRP
    ORL: Kevin Knox, Austin Rivers, Ben McLemore, Elfrid Payton + Bucks FRP
    HOU: Aaron Gordon, Mo Bamba, Frank Ntilikina + Mavs FRP

    I’d much rather keep the coin flip and Herro If I’m Houston. Draft massively drops off after 1-4 anyways.
