  1. Speaking of marginal players.
  2. I do admire the hate.
  3. Why is it always such a struggle? Denver is down a starter tonight. Another starter is playing his first game back after a long injury layoff and is on minute restrictions. Their best player is playing his third game back after an injury and on a minutes restriction. But somehow it's a 2 point game with 2 minutes left.
  4. Yeah. More important, early Bird and not full Bird rights. That could get a bit sticky if another team makes him a decent offer.
  5. I imagine it will be a deal for the remainder of the season at the vet minimum. Then we will have the playoffs to gauge how well he does and have a somewhat better understanding where his salary should be come this summer.
  6. Yep, smart move since they offered him the vet minimum. He wants to enter free agency this summer and sign a larger contract.
  7. Denver doesn't have the defense to win a title.
  8. So I think after tonight, Jenkins should have one more game he can play before they have to convert him to a real NBA deal.
  9. Everyone needs a hype man like Blaha.
  10. Harden makes Cleveland better this season. Not sure what it does for their future though. Offer Mobley and a couple of firsts to Milwaukee for Giannis. Put it all in the middle and see what happens.
  11. Yeah, zero interest in White. He's a future Sacramento King.
  12. Well, maybe Cleveland plays Atlanta on the road still this year.
  13. Hardway Jr, Bruce Brown. It's the land of overrated players. Jokic has to demand a trade this summer. Get to a team that will put some serious players around you.
  14. I posted something yesterday that said Chicago can't even get a 1st for White. I don't think they are going to move Ayo.
  15. His contract is dirt cheap and for 3 more years. He's young enough to still kind of fit in their rebuild. There is no reason for them to trade him. So you would have to massively overpay, and your offer wouldn't even get a response. Unless he demands a trade or will be very expensive to acquire him.
  16. Nobody with back spasms? Sort of makes me think nobody else is being considered trade bait.
  17. OK, just read about the new(er) trade rules regarding salary. Teams under the 1st apron can get back $7.5 million more than they send out, which is how Detroit could send out Ivey at $10 million and get Huerter back at $17 million. That makes the trade a little more interesting. Because they could trade Huerter alone, and the same $7.5 million rule would apply. Meaning they could target someone making $24.5 million. They could also do that with Saric, but at his lower salary it changes to 200% of his salary, so they could target someone for about $10 million. Or they do nothing, who knows.
  18. Just looked at the Bulls cap sheet after the Vuc-Simons trade. They are $4 million under the 1st apron. So they had to send Saric out to stay under it. Why Detroit helped them do that without being compensated is still a mystery, though.
  19. James Harden would like to be traded to the city with some of the best strip clubs in the country? I'm shocked.
  20. There is one way to package Huerter with others for a bigger deal. Don't report the trade to the league. All three teams agree to the trade, then don't report it to the league. It would give the Pistons a day or two to work on a bigger trade. For example, they add Brooklyn to the deal as a fourth team but instead of Huerter going to Detroit, he goes to Brooklyn plus LeVert and picks from Detroit for MPJ. If Detroit can't work out a larger deal, the three teams just turn in the original trade to the league right before the deadline on Thursday. I'm not saying that is what is happening here. Just saying it is a possibility.
  21. The Pistons? They are about $30 million over the cap.
  22. No clue honestly. Using part of their TPE makes it even worse.
  23. Pistons had 15 players on the roster before the trade. 1 out 2 in means someone on the roster has to be cut. I would guess it will be Isaac Jones. That brings the roster back to 15 players. Then if/when they sign Jenkins to his NBA deal, they will have to create another roster spot for him. I imagine Saric would then be cut to make room for Jenkins.
  24. Good move by Boston
