Trade & FA 2023-24: Booker Likes NYK? Vogel Out? Suns Imploding?

[The Jom]

If the Mavs were completely honest to themselves and Luka, they´d institute a policy right now to only obtain players age 25 or under tssi summer.

We were already far inferior to so many teams, but arguably the five best teams are

Nuggets: Dominant NBA champions.
Heat: NBA finalist with the best coach in the NBA forming a big three of Butler, Lillard and Adebayo.
Lakers: Retaining almost the full roster that made the post-trade deadline push, replacing Schroeder with Vincent.
Celtics: Adding Porzingis.
Suns: Replacing CP3 with Beal forming a big three with Booker/Durant.

There is no championship window next season. We´ll be fighting to make the play-offs via the play-in.

Get rid of THJ, Bullock, Powell and McGee.

Play in? You really have a low opinion of Luka. Prime Dirk and anybody makes top 6 seed every single year. Never once had a sidekick like Kyrie. If you’re right, we don’t have a chance because our star isn’t good enough.

Houston sending Garuba and Washington and draft assets to Atlanta (can't see full Shams tweet). Sad Mavs are not part of that.

Odd...is that Capella because they lost Lopez?

It seems just salary dump

Charlotte have cap room?

Sort of like him. Probably not a fit in Dallas though. Orlando has a ton of bodies. Stays with his brother

Roughly 16M, I´d say, accouting for Brad Miller + PJ Washington and Miles Bridges small capholds.

My guess is Bridges was just PJ insurance. He is done in Charlotte.

Dallas could be competitive against that offer against Charlotte.   But Boston may be much more willing to match an MLE offer.    Dallas could also offer him a starting role.

Not sure how we forgot about Charlotte, but they have plenty of cap room, if they renounce their FA like Oubre.

Houston planning to acquire Capela, sign Brooks....


....and then trade for Harden???

Sorry about your damn luck Knicks. We keeping the pick.

Can we re-route Sengun to Dallas in a possible Philly-Houston trade. I´d even take Tobias Harris as collateral damage. Send THJ + Holmes + Bullock to Philly.

Sengun would be my favourite U25 center target.

There is one theory, they can now get Capella directly into cap space and SnT Tate for Brooks. Not sure why they can't just add Capella in this deal. They have the cap space...

Houston after all those vet centers while having Sengun is a bit difficult to understand.

Ian Begley: Told Indiana is excited about getting a young, athletic player in Obi Toppin who fits the timeline of Tyrese Halliburton, Ben Mathurin and could be a complementary piece on the front line with Myles Turner. I’m sure Toppin is thrilled about the opportunity in Indy.





Pacers are pacing LOL

I can't read any of those twitter links yall have been posting. And I'm too lazy to try and figure out what they are saying.

Hou - Gets Holmes
ATL - Gets TyTy, Garuba, Mcgee, 2nd
Dal - Gets Capela

Call it in Nico (I know not happening). But swapping out Holmes/Mcgee for Capela would be perfect.

Mavs just stealing value. Unless you are throwing in a first that´s not going to happen. And that´s probably not worth it. Mavs are in a tough spot. Not easy to get a trade done when all you are working with is a 2030 2nd round pick (unless you make a big splash, throw in Green/Hardy and/or 2029 1st).

 I wonder why they aren't showing up.  Has Twitter blown up?

2:59 p.m. ET: The New York Knicks are finalizing a trade with the Indiana Pacers to send forward Obi Toppin to Indiana in exchange for two future second-round picks, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The deal can't be finalized until Tuesday. Toppin was drafted with the eighth overall pick by the Knicks in 2020.

If the 8th pick in the 2020 draft goes for 2 2nds, how much does the 20th (Thybulle)and 22nd  (Williams) picks in the 2019 NBA draft go for?

In a way. Elon limited the amount of tweets you can view per day.

I'm starting to think it's just broken and he's just lying and saying he's doing it on purpose maybe to save face or something. 

He said it is temporarily thing, so yeah they are trying/fixing something there
