ketchup vs catsup posted:PG wants to go to the lakers. I don't know why any other team would trade for him, he's not going to re-sign, and as a Celtics fan I don't want him. Do...do you think he's lying when he says he'll resign if they sign Hayward or...?

Some talk that George's leak was a favor to the Pacers, so that they're not the bad guys for moving him.

I think it's more of a "I won't waive my no trade, wherever I go, you're paying me, no matter what" than a request for a buyout

I think it's more of a "I won't waive my no trade, wherever I go, you're paying me, no matter what" than a request for a buyout the sum total they're bargaining over is not just Melo's guaranteed salary this year (26 million), but the total value left on his deal including the ETO year (54 million). At this point Phil's been warned by the player's union to shut the gently caress up and quit his weird public negotiating/shaming routine. In addition, everyone knows the Knicks have plenty of cash on hand to pay Anthony, so I'd say the Knicks leverage in buyout talks is relatively better than the leverage they have in trade talks (jack poo poo) but not really good. I'd bet Anthony gets 20+ million in a buyout regardless of open roster spots in LA or Cleveland.

Tae posted:God, everytime I look at the Bulls "rebuilding," it gets worse. They couldn't pick the way better prospect in Dennis Smith because they already traded half the team for three lovely point guards It'd be good if the Bulls organization was just succinctly honest for a change. GarPax press release: "Look, Reinsdorf is making 80+ million in PROFIT in USD each season. Fans continue to come in droves and give this insane organization the #1 attendance each year. Reinsdorf wants more $$$ though so we will trade and sell our best players/picks to trash teams with bad attendance as personal favors to his multibillionare buddies. We're going on vacation. See you next year. FIN." PantsFreeZone posted:so who is going to win the next title that isn't the Warriors?

Something I hadn't realized, but the Lakers haven't done a press conference to introduce Lopez yet. They already had one for all of the draft picks, but not a single word about Lopez. Maybe thats just the kind of thing that happens when your fire your entire front office and your main spokemen all resign in sympathy? Just a thought

He's made it clear that he doesn't want to lose money, and those teams will be capped out, was the reason for the caveat. I forgot about the ETO. It's in his long term best interest to forego the ETO to get a max non-bird contract, if he wants one. If Millsap can get one at 32 then Melo can absolutely get one at 33.

SpiritOfSanDimas posted:imo thats a reasonable deal given the situation Indiana is in For a few years in 2k I used to try to make teams of all 3s. The rosters would include Iggy/Marion/LeBron/PG(before he was as good as he is now)/Melo and filling the bench with lesser 3s. It was hilarious. A team of all Prime Iggys irl might be able to make the East playoffs. (Especially if you have 12 Iggys so they can sprint at all times.) They would probably get destroyed in the playoffs when they faced a team with both good coaching and good bigs.
