    Good, that deal would've sucked hard.

    Lawson for Thaddeus Young would work from a salary perspective and I could see the Nets doing it. But I doubt Morey would since Lawson can be released after the year and young's deal has multiple years left.

    Hawks just said they're not trading anyone... These "insiders" can't keep their damn fabricated narrative straight...

    The Nets need to rebuild, and if Lawson's contract remains non-guaranteed when traded, they can get out of Young's $12 million salary for the next few years.

    Interesting. I've been watching him get his ass kicked on the court all year.

    there are many teams who want Young's contract right now. It's safe and cheap. With Johnson out of the books the Nets will already have like 30+ mil capspace.

    Damn Lawson's stock has really fallen.

    Top 10 PG last season. Lakers were going to offer Randle and Clarkson last deadline.

    Couple DUI's, crappy season with the Rockets now teams are preferring scrubs to Lawson.
