Sorry to be the Trade Machine Posting Guy, but does this make sense as the parameters of a Chicago/Cleveland/Phoenix deal with #4 going to the Bulls?



I can't decide how much the Bulls would need to be compensated for taking on Knight's salary, since they're going to suck anyway

Don't you TALK about Grant Afseth that way. He's been there for me through thick and thin, one time he literally gave me the shirt off of his back when I ripped my own shirt. It was way bigger than my shirt. That's Grant.

From a purely cynical perspective, it makes total sense for him to do that. This way if he gets traded his new team will have to give up less and be in better shape. There is definitely some moral hazard with regard to player incentives in potential trades.

I owe Grant an apology, I didn't read to the end

quote:

On Chris Mannix’s NBC Sports Radio show, Adrian Wojnarowski said that Paul George’s camp is informing teams that he is not going to re-sign with anyone, regardless of who trades for him. He is fully intending to sign with the Lakers in free agency next summer without them giving up substantial assets. The Pacers are calling teams to see what they can get for him but other teams are trying to determine how much is worthwhile to give up.

Paul George doesn't want to be traded because he literally can't get the supermax, then

Same reason why Cousins told everyone that he'll be a rental to anyone that trades for him

I dunno why the Suns would trade for Love at this point. He doesn't fit the timeline of the rest of the team and they'd still probably miss the playoffs.

The DeAndre situation might get retroactively funnier this offseason. Imagine if Blake and CP3 leave after getting him to sign a long term deal with the Clippers.

Would a one year rental of PG help the Cavs at all re: the cap going forward?

One of the things that makes me laugh about the whole PG situation is that he's leaving a franchise that was run by one idiot (Larry Bird) for another (Magic Johnson). I will enjoy it when Magic fucks the Lakers up and they never get higher than 8th in the West. Like just go somewhere cool, PG. Go to Houston or Boston. Play with some good rear end players that are not named D'Angelo Russell or Brandon Ingram.

Well it'll get PG's salary off the books if he walks in addition to whatever assets they give up to acquire PG.

The one good thing is that both the Cavs and Celtics front offices seem like they would be dumb enough to get in a bidding war over players and give up assets for Butler and/or PG.
