    Once he recovers we can still trade him in the summer. He just needs a few strong weeks of play at the end of the season.

    Imo Gordon was our best piece (maybe PJ considering contract)

    I just can’t believe that anyone actually WANTS oladipo for this year .

    If we REALLY want assets maybe we try to get something for nwaba/Tate/brown , but I’d like to keep Tate and then 1/2 of the others

    maclemore ? Maybe a second or the rights to some dude .

    if KPJ is good . Then

    wall
    Kpj/Gordon
    Tate
    X
    Wood is NOT a bad start .

    if you get unlucky health wise you can get another high pick .. if not you can try to make the playoffs (and you have some assets from trades)

    if we get anything for oladipo I will be shell shocked . if we keep oladipo I will be devastated .

    Will Tilman do something with Dante Exum ? It should be easy to take on a mid salary next year because we have most of hardens salary gone as expiring . How much of that can we keep and gain assets for ?

    what are some bad contracts out there ?

    Ain't no keeping Olabricko. Last year of his contract, he's playing like ****, AND (had the nerve? the blessing?) turned down our contract extension.

    Luckily, he still has trade value because that's 21 million off the books once the season is over. Teams looking to clear cap space need expiring contracts.

    And jeopardize our chance at keeping the top 4 pick? NEVER!!!!

    I smell a "setback in his progress" coming on....

    Oh, wait, that's just my upper lip. Had fish for lunch. Carry on.

    2nd best player this year goes down just as the 1st best player is set to return.

    With Wall forgetting how to pass and Oladipo forgetting how to shoot the tank is well in hand.

    Out of everything that’s happened this year, surprisingly enough, this possibly pisses me off the most because it was the most avoidable.

    I'm worried at this point about Dipo. We need him to make it through two more weeks.

    Nope at what? Durant could have played in Houston but simply didn't want to.

    I don't know if Durant ever 'wanted' to play here, but it was enough of a thing that Harden though there was a chance for it to happen.

    I wouldn't be shocked if he faked an injury. Makes Miami give up less for him so they can save their assets for other improvements to chase a ring.

    Kills his trade value every year with perfectly timed injuries.

    and this is what makes me really angry at the front office. You don’t have to be Nostradamus to know that it’s always a matter of time with him. U have to sell high and sell early. Really pisses me off. It’s way too late. I wanted an EG deal done a month ago.

    but honestly it’s not the end of the world. His contract will be less of a factor next year and we’ll be able to get more for him.

    2 more weeks of Torture. Just Bubble Wrap Victor Oladipo, John Wall, Eric Gordon, P.J Tucker, Danuel House Jr, Ben McLemore, Rodions Kurucs

    Just trade them all, let the torture end and get young players that care about each other and build real Chemistry.

    Need to Get a Top 2 Pick to get either Cade Cunningham or Jalen Green for the Guard Spot. Kevin Porter Jr. and Jalen Green or Cade Cunningham can take turns.

    Wishful thinking

    What exactly pisses you off?? NBA GMs almost always wait until the deadline to make deals. Nobody was going to trade anything for EG a month ago. Other GMs know his history just like we do. He was probably always going to remain on this roster until this upcoming off-season. This way, he stays off the court and doesn't hurt our tank.
