George Hill going to Sac. Oh well....

Odd move. Isnt his skill set pretty redundant with Fox? And they arent winning anytime soon and thats not a whole lot of money for him to entice him to play in a **** box

Another odd move....

Looks like his agent was using the Lakers to up the offers from other teams. Want a bigger deal elsewhere, tease the Lakers with interest in a 1 year deal.

These moves are odd for both the Kings and the players. The Kings need to maximize draft assets ( especially since they dont have a lotto in 2019) and these moves dont push them into playoff contention and at the same time hurts there 2018 lotto positioning. They need a franchise player and probably arent getting one for a while now. Only thing I can think of where it makes sense to me is they may be looking to add assets by moving them at the deadline, but Hill and Deebo arent going to net them something really substantial in trade

They went from a 20 win team in a year with 3 potential franchise players in the draft to a 30 win team in a draft that may only have role players outside the top 6

That Hayward to the Heat report could be false.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Yep, fake

Hayward is a Celtic. Finally landed a big fish

 

[darthseinfeld]

Doesn't beat the Cavs in 2017/18, but puts us in the driver seat in 18/19 for the East.

I wonder if they dangle Crowder in a trade now

 

[darthseinfeld]

Now Gordon to Boston isnt 100%

 

[darthseinfeld]

I fully expect him to be back in Utah now

 

[John813]

So bizarre

Honestly I think both teams would be better off not making that deal. With the Unicorn, Ntilikina, and Hermangomez, I think the Knicks are a good wing scorer away from a good young core. And next years draft features two excellent wing prospects in Porter and Doncic that are attainable for NY. And if the East is is weak as it is now ( it should be) Porter in particular could push them to a low seed if the Porzingis has broken the 24 ppg barrier and Ntilikina can 3 and D at the level expected.

And im not trying to troll you with 3 responses to the same post, really im not

I'm certainly glad we did not deal Porzingis. He's under control for too many years to deal him away just because he doesn't like the direction. If he was a year or two away from UFA, sure, but other than that, he's a no sell. I just hope we can move on from Melo, for no other reason than to give you guys some better competition for the #1 pick...

I dont see Melo back. I can see a buy out and a Banana boat in Houston or Cleveland.

Hayward has apparently changed his mind 4 times in the past day. Almost no way he leaves Utah IMO

 

[darthseinfeld]

After pulling Olynyc's QO, and renouncing some rights, the Celtics would have to trade either Rozier or Smart for max space. And you fall short of max space dealing Rozier, so Smart would likely be traded. One possibility is that an agreement has been reached, but not made public until the Celtics negotiate a trade for Smart. Any way you look at it, they would be trading Smart into a buyers market. Could be worse if it was known that he has to be traded

 

[darthseinfeld]

Gordon Hayward officially a Celtic

https://www.___GET_REAL_URL___/s/ww.../gordon-hayward-decision-free-agency-nba/amp/

No official word on a discount on our selection of Marcus Smarts

 

[darthseinfeld]

Chris Mannix is reporting teams are calling about Crowder, Bradley and Smart. My guess is it would be Bradley or Crowder. Both could be cheap defensive gets for WC playoff teams if they have the cap. Bradley is below 9 and Crowder below 7 for 2017

 

[Manwiththeplan]

Not sure what I'd give up, but we could use Marcus Smart in NY
