Free Agent Discussion

+1 for " Leisure Suit Larry"

[Winngtime85]

So you're saying Rui or Brooks are the only options? I'll take door #3

Only two free agents I see that fill a need, fit our age group, and won’t get huge outrageous deals, and make us better. Sign these two and dump guys like Buddy, TJ and Duarte and we’re a playoff team. Brooks and Rui aren’t gonna get 30m a year like Poole. This free agent crop this year kinda sucks for what we’re looking for.

Grant Williams?

Grant Williams?

Last year I would have said yes, but he seems to have fallen off as of late. A bench role player at most.

+1 for " Leisure Suit Larry"

Those games were both hilarious and oddly arousing as a young lad.

Holy cow this can’t be true

The Athletic proposed a trade that would send Turner and Buddy Hield to Houston in exchange for Alperen Şeng?n, Kevin Porter Jr., K.J. Martin, the No. 4 pick in 2023 and a first-round pick in 2025.

I would do it in a heart beat. But Rockets can’t be that dumb

That would be massive overpayment from the Rockets. The trade would not even make the AI in NBA 2k. I can't imagine that with the best will in the world.

The Indiana Pacers, who hold three picks in the first round of the draft, are reportedly looking at trading up. Indiana is looking into packaging the #7, #26 and #29 picks together to move up in the first round.

If we are going to do an unrealistic Rockets trade just give me Eason, Smith, and Sengun for Turner, Duarte, and all our draft picks. I could roll into 2023 with a starting 5 of Hali, Mathurin, Eason, Smith, and Sengun.

Now this I can get behind this. The top 3, maybe even 4, players in this draft are elite enough that I'd be happy with this. Besides, we don't have the roster spots for all those draft picks.

Only because Mazzulla’s silly *** buried him on the bench.

The primate target would be Charlotte then Portland. Portland is in “win now” mode so we’ll need a 3rd team.

I would love to add Brandon Miller to this roster

[Dece]

I wouldn't be surprised if Portland sold on Dame and went for a future build.

It can't be true, because this sounds like a trade suggestion thrown out by the Atlantic just to get clicks.

A move to go after Turner and Hield ( or more specifically, trade #4 for vets ) does make sense with Udoka at the helm and the possibility of making a run at Harden.

I would think the opposite. Trade #3 and Nurkic + any other useless pieces for assets to build around a core of Lillard + Anfernee + Sharpe.
