There's always something at the bottom of the bag.
Herb jones is the best player on the pels. They need to build around him and Murphy.

Herb is on a criminally cheap deal there is no way they move him unless a superstar is heading their way

I'm assuming the league and Morey specifically are ready to pounce on NO the second they get wind that BI is available?

Ingram was available at this year’s draft and throughout the season.

Yeah Ingram makes sense for Philly. It would need to be a 3-way because NOP is going to want players back. Wonder if ATL anf NOP would do Trae for Ingram?

Supposedly, the FO really dislike Trae so that is less likely to happen. I think ATL wants more than Ingram in return, though.

Honestly, just run Zion at Center and get another 3 and D wing with Jones and Murphy and they might be cooking.

I’d rather Zion play on the wing and get a versatile big, tbh.

Pels:

Trae Young

Hawks:
Brandon Ingram
Herb Jones

Pels get a second center and a true partner in the offense with Trae. They get to move on from BI's contract. They clear up space for Jordan Hawkins to move up.

Hawks get defense upgrade, and they get to roll the dice on if BI can improve.

Pels will not include Herb in a trade for anything less than a top 20 player.

4 and 5 refers to what picks I used for them; they were intended to get 24mpg each, not share the court. OG would play the 4

herb fits way easier on a championship roster than trae does so i think weirdly that he is a more valuable player. hes so cool dude get herbpilled if you can

Anyone have a win probability graph for the New York Philly game? The sequence of 4 point play into missing a free throw into not fouling into bombing a three was absurd.

Zach Lowe had this bit about the upcoming Maxey contract negotiations with the 76ers, and it was basically Rich Paul telling Morey to shut up and hand over all of the money plus a player option in the last year. Yeah, that’s what needs to happen. You don’t gently caress around here. Maxey is amazing.

So is this a contract rejig, player option thing or is that’s that? I can’t remember if he has already cashed in his player option or not.

That particular tweet is a guy probably making poo poo up.

But LeBron could opt out and get a no trade clause and try to time his deal to the next TV contract, or of course go somewhere else. That's why most people think that will happen. He can technically get more right now with an extension of his current deal but he would not be able to add the NTC and potentially miss out on a giant deal down the road.

Lebron should retire. There is no shame in the way the Lakers season ended and he has achieved everything anyone could have ever asked of him in his career. He could even probably go GM for Charlotte and draft his own Kwame Brown type guy.

If he still likes playing basketball he should keep doing it because he's still doing it at a very high level.

This is the most logical outcome. Lebron sees that massive TV deal coming up and wants in, and another 1+1 gets him there.
