The Bigfooty NBA Week 17 Thread - "Insane" trade sees Aussie NBA Star Kyrie Irving headed to the Mavericks

[Callums_Guns]

So basically most teams will have him after a buyout lol.

Agree, the list will continue to grow

 

[Iceman!]

I get the thinking but it's still horrible for Utah. Nowhere near enough future compensation, Lakers making out like bandits

I want some of whatever the Bulls are smoking if they're serious about Westbrook

Some GM’s seriously seem to think like 14 year olds kids on 2k. Blinded by the name Westbrook.

2nd time this season the cavs have gone up 30 on the pistons with Spida and Garland both not playing… god they suck

 

[QuietB]

Pretty sad really.

Will D'Lo be allowed to take one of those into the Lakers locker room?

Celtics playing with the spirit of The Kelly Gang/Nelson Mandela bravehearts/against all odds here.

If Philly can't beat us with our decimated squad, they'll never ever beat us again (we at least under Doc Rivers)

 

[Richard Cranium]

you gave up two decent rotation players to get back a negative asset with only one protected first coming back? So you can have free cap space as a tanking team in Utah? I mean I guess it might work but I don’t rate it

Yeah I dunno. Beasley has shot below .400 these last two seasons and only has a team option for next year and Conley will be making 24m at age 36. Maybe there wasn't much interest in them and now the Jazz add a first and are in a ($24m) better position to be part of trades over the summer and next season where they can take on a few more assets?

I'm not saying it was a great haul, but as a Suns fan I've seen Crowder's expiring result in nothing all year (although I don't rule out Phoenix's general incompetence there), so maybe it's just a bare market and they didn't think they could get much next year for Conley's expiring.

Delly and Kyrie probably started together at some point
Mills and Kyrie may have too

 

[Richard Cranium]

Sexum and Ingles surely had one start together in Utah?

 

[Richard Cranium]

Thybulle and Benjamin maybe?

Yeah I don’t want to make it out like it’s the worst deal in the world, but I just saw if the pick doesn’t convert that first year it turns in to a second… the Lakers seems to have gotten everything they wanted. I’m surprised that this was the best they could do and that they waited so long to pull the trigger that tanking in to the best odds for Wemby will be tough as well.

 

[kozi]

Dubs, Kyrie Mavs debut and start of the first test all on at the same time. First world problems

 

[peternorth]

Reggie Bullock has 3 x 3s already. Using his Staples/Crypto court knowledge gained in his time with the Lakers.


Morris vs Morris today Look2Me4Guidance

 

[Iceman!]

Lmfao Bullock making sure he isn’t thrown in to any last minute deals, on fire
