    People trying too hard to **** on stone. We flipped Covington for picks. Ariza was worthless. Having space now isn’t a bad thing if we are trying to move these giant contracts.

    we can’t exactly tank. OKC has a pick swap next year. Not like they will be any good either but still...

    Don't get me wrong, this could end up being a bad move. But the UPSIDE is much higher:


    Pre trade - you get Ariza and the 16th pick player in a terrible draft.

    Post trade, it's possible that you get the NT-MLE (9.8M a year) PLUS the ability to take on a player with the trade exception of 12.8M.

    Again, not set in stone home run but to call this just tax savings and nothing else is just a flat out incorrect take for now.

    It’s irrelevant if they don’t trade Harden and maximize his value now. He won’t be happy about this roster.

    If you want Ibaka on this team, this trade makes it MUCH MORE LIKELY.

    Remind me, who is Ibaka close with on the team here?

    I got excited too quickly. Well, at least we have a second again.

    I'm surprised Tilman paid $4.9M, rather than giving up two firsts to avoid paying the $4.9M. It's a step in the right direction, right??
