I don't believe the Celtics will make a move before the draft tonight but I think you'll be able to tell the intentions by their pick If it's Tatum, they're sticking with him and there's not likely to be much trade drama beyond trying to get rid of a contract for a max If it's Jackson he's going to be dangled as trade bait for the entirety of free agency and it's going to make me keel over from stress

The Lebatard show played a clip of SAS on his radio show the day he found out about Phil wanting to trade KP. I can't find it now but he was just screaming about how he couldn't enjoy his cereal without getting worked up by the knicks

Stephen A.'s broadcaster rating has been upgraded from trash to junk status. Also I'm Max Kellerman trying to do anything to follow up a take that was that awesome.

Lockback posted:I have no idea what the scouting looked like in the mid-80s but Stockton was a 6'1" unathletic guard who really only had one fantastic year at Gonzaga. Malone came from Louisana Tech and was sorta noteable for getting worse each year in college, his final year stats were not mind-blowing. Malone dominated a 3 time consensus All-American Wayman Tisdale in the NCAA's. OU had better support players, Louisiana Tech were trash. It was obvious from that he was next-level talent, he was a beast. Kobe, iirc, was an unknown child of huge potential except for some tryouts.

Portland currently have $140.5m salary on the books for 2017-18. That is $21.5m over the luxury tax and puts them in the highest category of taxpayer $3.75 for every $1 over. So they are currently due to pay TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS* for exactly the same squad that went 41-41 last season and got swept in the first round. Is anyone going to bite on Allen Crabbe ($74.8m, 4 years) or Evan Turner ($70m, 4 years) packaged with the 20th or 26th pick? Are they even going to have to throw in the 15th pick to move some salary? *$199.94m to be precise

I guess the FO and fans are adamant that they won't use picks to shed salary. Good luck with that

With a lot of big new-money contracts out there, most teams looking to compete and the cap coming down there might not be many buyers in general

If I'm the sixers I might take 15 and crabbe for a late second. It's close tho. That would limit fa room the next two years . Meh

IDK whatever porzingis is cool i have his jersey (great gift thanks friend Scott who noticed me watching plenty ball) if you can get a massive deal for him (better than the jokes people are offering now then laughing about because they're so bad) fine let him go play somewhere where basketball is fun and he's not obligated to say it's fun to play with Carmelo Anthony after games gently caress it all

Crabbes trade kicker is just so bad If he played defense it would be almost ok.

Pretty sure Crabbe has a 15% trade kicker too so gently caress that. Edit: beaten

Crabbe is the only guy that other teams might want but that deal is still not that appealing and teams that could absorb the deal are probably more content with trying to find a cheaper version in the draft

Portland has 14 guaranteed deals. I guess they could also waive Quarterman and draft and stash a Euro

matching on Crabbe was surely painful but perhaps defensible. Coming to terms with Harkless was fine. But that loving Meyers Leonard deal.

Yeah I forgot to mention Crabbe's 15% trade kicker, which makes taking him on even more painful. Portland is just so screwed cap wise for the next three years - they have $117m on the books for 2019-20 already. And that's not even including whatever deal they sign Nurkic to, whose contract expires next summer. If they can't move anyone this summer or during the season then the repeater tax implications for them will be egregious. All for a slightly above average roster. The endgame is a Lillard or McCollom trade, it's inevitable. Maybe even this year at the deadline.

Yeah I remember feeling ok in the end about Crabbe. He obviously didn't live up to the contract. I couldn't believe the Turner contract at the time and it's only gotten worse. I really don't see how they sort the cap situation out without trading Lillard or McCollum.
