[Official] 2017 NBA Trade Deadline Deals and Rumors Thread

Bogut's salary fits in BimaThug's expanded 3-team Lou Williams trade scenario.

 

They'll love him in NY. Not initially. But if Jeff gives him the ball, they'll love him. Especially Melo and taps.

 

Agreed in the sense that Rubio def needs a scenery change but to act like hed be a saving grace to whats become an embarassment of a franchise is overstating it. Rubio needs to be on a team that plays at a high pace so hes not forced to shoot in the half court. Great passer, decent defender, just plain bad on O. And having a ball stopper in Melo doesnt really help. IMO hed be a good player on a team like the Bucks. I think thats the nicest reply someones given you in a long time.

 

Hp, how much salary should we add in this scenario to also take back Covington?

 

Embiid to Houston??? Please please please!

 

Rubio is an expert in pick and roll. Doesn't matter that he can't shoot. He's still able to get everybody great looks. Melo and other legit shooters will boost him way into double digit assist averages and in a year many teams will be wondering why they didn't pick him up for a song. Once again, doesn't matter that he can't shoot. He can create great looks without turning the ball over anyways. Defense is helpless to stop him from creating great looks. And he knows how to get on the FT line and make his lack of shooting a mute point. He will be very successful in NY if they simply give him the basketball and Memo will be thanking his lucky stars that they fell into RR.

That's all I got time for on Rubio today. Bigger fish to fry here.

 

Will be weird if he gets bought out and someone just straight up claims him.

 

Bogut will go to the Spurs...

 

Yes, his 2.8 points per game from free throws negates his shooting.

I do like Rubio and think he can fit somewhere. I struggle to see that fit being alongside Melo who threw a fit about DAntoni trying to run a PnR system with someone other than Melo being the primary ball handler.

 

Is buying out the same thing as getting waived? I honestly dont remember.

 

Yes he would still have to clear waivers.

 

LOL. Fish to fry ? Do you mean Egg to wipe off your face?

Noel-Yule--UC

I see. He is going to the Mavs. Another wild swing and miss.

 

Mmmh, good guess on paper he would fit just well, but Dedmon is playing really well lately, Gasol will be back, not sure he's going to get a lot of minutes there...not that he's going to get a lot here either, but i think he would bring something different here, on the Spurs eh, not sure.

 

Never said we'd get him. I did tell you we wanted him and were trying to get him. I told you that when Codman was pumping Okafor too. Go away child.

 

Sounds like somebody's got a...

Please. Like we don't all know that you're breathlessly clutching your Rubio bobblehead as you await news that he's been traded to a team that will respect him as the boydream you know him to be.

 

If NYK and MINN want to swap PGs...

Hou OQuinn, Ty Jones
Nyk Rubio, KJ, Ennis, Hou 2nd rd pick
Minn Rose

 

I think Noel going to Dallas for basically a young player with limited upside and 2 2nd round picks should dispel the notion that the Rockets were trying to get him or are eager to upgrade over Capela.

Clearly they are happy with Capela.
