Fearghas@lemmy.worldto NBA@lemmy.world•Canada throw down gauntlet to World Cup field with amazing squad1·2 years agoVery strong guard/wing lineup, but I’m less optimistic about their frontcourt. Olynyk/Powell isn’t terrible, but I don’t see much in the way of rim protection unless Edey goes ham.
Fearghas@lemmy.worldto NBA@lemmy.world•@AdamHimmelsbach: Celtics are not interested in Damian Lillard1·2 years agoIf dame had been available before the porzingis trade it might have happened. Now I doubt Boston could make it happen without giving up Jaylen Brown since most of their other assets are gone.
Fearghas@lemmy.worldto NBA@lemmy.world•[Woj] Free agent G Dillon Brooks has agreed on a four-year, $80 million contract with the Houston Rockets, his agent Mike George of @OneLegacySports tells ESPN.31·2 years agoI’m guessing fvv/jalen green/brooks/Jabari/sengun. Mills, Christopher, whitmore, jeff green and landale off the bench? Defense is a question mark but they could push for the playin if green and Jabari take a step forward under Udoka.
By then the Warriors window will have closed and they’ll be looking to start a rebuild. I wouldn’t be surprised if Draymond and Curry both retire in the same offseason.
Fearghas@lemmy.worldto NBA@lemmy.world•[Woj] BREAKING: 76ers G James Harden is picking up his $35.6 million option and sides are beginning to work together in exploring trade scenarios, sources tell ESPN. It’s expected that Harden has...8·2 years agoI’m not surprised to see him take his option. According to spotrac there’s only 5 teams under the cap and 7 teams with practical cap space so not a lot of possible suitors. He gets more money overall by waiting until next offseason to pursue a 2-3 year deal before retiring.
Fearghas@lemmy.worldto NBA@lemmy.world•Suns are moving forward with the plan of keeping Deandre Ayton to play alongside Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, league sources tell @NBAonTNT2·2 years agoCan the Suns sign anyone to fill out the roster since they’re over the cap? This is a really expensive group of 4.
Fearghas@lemmy.worldto NBA@lemmy.world•[Woj] ESPN Sources: The Washington Wizards are finalizing a deal to send Chris Paul to the Golden State Warriors for a package that includes Jordan Poole and future draft assets.0·2 years agoThis has to be a straight salary dump to avoid the luxury tax right? Can’t imagine why else they’d give away picks and the younger guard in this trade.
Fearghas@lemmy.worldto NBA@lemmy.world•BREAKING: The Washington Wizards are trading three-time All-Star Bradley Beal to the Phoenix Suns for Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, a handful of second-round picks, and multiple pick swaps4·2 years agoMoving Beal saves them a lot of contract space since they can waive Chris Paul before the 28th. Kuzma and Porzingis both have player options, but after next season the biggest contracts they have are Gafford and Shamet. It looks like the Wizards owe the Knicks a first round pick, but they have a good chance at landing high picks in the next few seasons otherwise.
Fearghas@lemmy.worldto NBA@lemmy.world•BREAKING: The Washington Wizards are trading three-time All-Star Bradley Beal to the Phoenix Suns for Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, a handful of second-round picks, and multiple pick swaps16·2 years agoSo Payne, Beal, Booker, Durant, and Ayton as the starting 5? That’s a very good starting lineup, but that bench looks painfully thin. Not to mention Ayton might still want out.
Wizards look like they’re finally starting a rebuild on the other hand instead of treading water. Wonder if Porzingis is up next on the trading block.
Fearghas@lemmy.worldto NBA@lemmy.world•[Charania] Developing: Washington is in serious talks with two finalists – Miami and Phoenix – on a Bradley Beal trade, sources tell @TheAthletic3·2 years agoKinda think the Suns would walk back on waiving Chris Paul if this rumor is true. Played around with a trade machine and something like Paul or Ayton / Shamet or Bazley seems to be what it takes to make contracts line up.
