Ageless game?

There is no such thing in the NBA. If there was, then Elton Brand, Andre Miller, Ray Allen, and Dirk Nowitizki would be running shyt still. You hit 32 and a slip in the shower can take years off your career, turning your contract into diabetes for a team....

Yes he is. But at least the Celtics didn't trade anything of value for him.

Dude was supposed to turn Brad Stevens' offense into some shyt out of the matrix... He hasn't moved Boston's needle at all yet.

Our offense has improved, it's the defense that has regressed

The three teams that should be most interested are Denver Boston and Orlando

Problem is those teams are probably thinking there will be better options coming along for trade between now and February and would rather wait than overpay for a rental

I'm sure Boston would give up a filler package with a pick or even two but won't be the Brooklyn picks especially the 2017 one which is currently the #1 pick
How is Orlando gonna be interested in this unless they're ready to pull the plug on Ibaka?

Not enough for a max contract, but I digress :hubie:

I agree :yeshrug:

They don't care about what we think about Sap and others. They just want to rape us in trade deals. So you don't want Toronto's trash for a top 25 player? So you don't want Boston Pot roast for Sap guys? So you don't want our trash for your gem. They are basically trying to come up to us broke while wanting us to give them all of our money. fukkkkkk outta of here :camby:

It ain't perfect but the hypothetical Toronto offer is a LOT more realistic than Zach LaVine or a Nets pick :manny:

They've had a hard on for millsap forever
I'm aware of that, but knowing that, the only thing Orlando would want is a straight swap. If they needed to add more, they're gonna immediately back out. Orlando paid a lot to get Ibaka. Whether they keep Ibaka or get Millsap, they better pray they keep that guy there.
 

#1 pick

Hawks could use Tyus Jones and Muhammad as backups and trade Rubio to Philly for Okafor. For Delaney and Millsap. Save 10 million dollars. They would have cap space, more youth and depth. No real legit prospect with star potential but Okafor still can grow and who knows if he's as limited as he's shown so far.

Dennis/Tyus/Tim
Baze/Tim/Muhammad/Bembry
Thabo/Kyle/Prince
Moose/Scott/Kelly
Dwight/Okafor/Splitter

Let Muhammad walk in the off-season.
While we would have 48,347,025 in capholds, we would, you could have a cap of 68.4 million which could be 35.6 million in cap space. With that, we can spend our cap space signing Ibaka, Durant or whoever else. Is this likely, no but just saying. Now clearly, you could just get Tim and a couple others to agree to a deal before with their cap hold.

Orlando clearly can use Sap with Ibaka. Gives them versatility but it's clear they will look at 3 team trades for Vucci Mane. Orlando almost signed Sap and Sap fits with Ibaka and Gordon. They can also offer Atlanta a prospect in Hezonja who has struggled with Orlando but might do well in Atlanta in our system. It's highly unlikely Atlanta will trade him in the same division.

Denver has Chandler and another struggling young player in Mudiay who could help us.

Phoenix would have to offer the most. Us taking Knight isn't ideal and we would need Bender or Chriss in ANY deal where we have take back Chandler or Knight.
