If Silas doesn’t have the balls to move Wall to the bench then he shouldn’t be the head coach. John Wall should be paired with Gordan on the second unit.
Doubt the Mavs help bail us out of bad contract(s). People need to come to terms with the idea that Wall and Eric Gordon are not going away this season. Every team has its problems and the draft offers many viable options of getting younger and more athletic.
Next season, I could see the team trying to compete and make the playoffs, and I could also see them tanking again. If we are trying to make the playoffs with what we've got/draft, we'll keep Gordon, as he still helps the team win some extra games and was playing very well last year pre injury. However, if we are tanking, I think we'll trade Gordon and actually get something back. He is due $19mm/yr over the next two before his final NG year. That is at least a fair market value contract, if healthy for a bit, he is definitely tradable IMO. Wall will be on either team (assuming they don't attached assets to move him, which I pray they don't).
Yes on the Wall aspect. Not many teams wanting to take on that $44M contract in 21/22 season Wall won't give up more than a million of the $91 million remaining Tilman won't pay out all that money to have Wall go to another team and possibly succeed by making the playoffs as Westbrook did. Best hope is some team taking that $47M final year as an expiring contract. Wall has a player option that final season.....unlike CP3, I feel Wall opts-in and stays. As I said in the post, get use to Wall not going to another team this season. _________________________ Now Eric Gordon, because his contract is adequate for his defense, offense, pts per minutes; the only reason I'm trading Eric is because the Rockets drafted Jalen Green and they need to give him the keys to the SG position...But even at that, I'm probably not trading Eric. I can't see the Rockets taking back anything back of quality or prime picks for Gordon. I leave it to others to talk tanking....I accepted it this season but not next year. I feel it is wishful thinking that someone wants that Eric Gordon contract as it escalates, his age, and injury history. Good luck with that. Good to see you posting more. Clutchfans need more sensible posters.
wall for luka straight up. tho i dun think tillmen would want to have to give luka that supermax extension, so won't happen.
Thats the worst part about this...walls contract is just as bad...im rlly rooting for the clips to flame out, maybe theyll trade for him, otherwise hard to see him moved till atleast the trade deadline nxt yr where he'll only hv a 1.5 yrs left on his contract
I fully expect Luka to b****slap any member of the Mavs organisation for ever suggesting they bring in black hole John Wall. However it'll never get to that point, because Cuban would b****slap any member of the organisation for ever suggesting that. Lmao. The Mavs would be one of the worst teams for john wall since it takes the ball out if Luka's hands. Sheesh.
I just hope somebody is. Are the Lakers desperate enough after getting bounced in the first round? Maybe the Clippers get bounced in the second after narrowly escaping the Mavs in the first. Surely somebody has to be desperate enough. PLEASE GOD! IF YOU EVER LOVED ME MAKE SOMEBODY DESPERATE ENOUGH TO TRADE FOR JOHN WALL!
Were the opposite of the Knicks. They think they are getting every star for nothing, even those under fresh contracts. We always think were getting rid of our unwanted contracts for decent value.
Yea Wall can help alot of teams out but who wants to eat 50 million on this bum? The only way they trade him is if he waives his last year, so that contract is huge expiring.
John Wall is a pill we are gona have to swallow. I don’t want us to trade any of our picks! I want to save those picks for when we have another star player and he starts acting like a diva and starts requesting help.
Trade Wall to Clippers, draft Cunningham and then trade for Lavine from Chicago......give up 2 FRP this year and 1 next year, and involve Martin and House....what do you think?
The perpetual cycle IMO is desirable when you have a young team with cap flexibility if it keeps netting you draft capital. Whenever your teams ready to go the nth player down the cycle of trades would be cap filler to obtain role players then.
Delusional CF: "Even though we're the worst team in the whole damn league, I'll bet we can trade our albatross-contract player, someone even WE are dying to get rid of, to a playoff team for some usable assets!"
There is zero reason to take on Porzingis and his contract. Rather pay the $10 million extra a year to be done a year early. Plus in the 2022-23 season, he becomes a huge expiring contract. If the Basketball gods favor the Rockets, and they found some young pieces in the next 2 young drafts, that (and Gordon's expiring in 23-24) making adding some vets much easier. Also, if Tilman had any business sense whatsoever, he already took out an insurance policy on Wall when they did the RW-Wall trade to blunt the financial impact and that has a higher chance to pay out than policy on KP.
No, no, and HELL TO THE NO!!! First there is no way in hell this trade happens but Lavine is not a star. You are not winning with him. You also don't give your future to rid yourself of an albatross when you are the WORST team in the NBA. MAYBE by next trade deadline Wall can be dumped with 2 2nds for a poo poo platter. Teams like the Clippers, Heat, Lakers, Nets, and the Knicks have no future assets so if they want some help they have to take distressed assets for their poo poo platter of leftovers. Heat wanted Dipo for this reason. Knicks are best chance to get rid of Wall. Outside chance the other teams are even interested let alone willing to move on Wall. Next to Kemba it is the worst contract in the NBA.
