A few trade ideas to clear out some of our vets, make room for the kids and tank for real: With the Bulls: Sexton for Lonzo Ball. Lonzo will not play this season and might never play again. We can take on his salary for next year when we don`t have to worry about either paying or playing...

I am pretty sure you know this, but extending him for that much is not possible. His max starting salary on an extension is just over $15 million next year. We have to wait until the off season when his contract has expired and use our cap space to give him more.

We also need to keep around $12 million in space to be able to renegotiate and extend Lauri next off season. With the ten players we have under contract, we are at just under $100 million with $142 being the official estimation for cap number next season. If we extend THT for his max, we will...

I would love for Ainge to have a chat with James Harden. Is he willing to play ball until the trade deadline? If he is, he would bring out the best in this team with his passing. We can trade him again to a contender in a few months when Keyonte hopefully is ready to take over. Sexton + THT...

I think it is 140% with the new CBA.

A lot of our players will have somtehing to prove and play for this year. Then we have Clarkson who can just ball our and enjoyr himself and the rookies who needs to prove that they belong. Being deep is an important factor in the regular season. As long as our main guys stay healthy, I think...

Hah, good point! Don`t see us trading for him to just put him in the stands! ;)

Sexton and Olynyk would be the natural filler salary going out in a potential Lilard trade. Hendricks + 3 first roundt picks of Portland`s choosing would in my opinion be the least Portland would expect. We would ahve to send a million or two extra in salaries to get to the $36 million we need...

So, is the Collins-trade official yet? I am hearing some talk about us being involved in a 3 way deal with Atlanta and Toronto. The talk is that Siakam would go to Atlanta and that Collins will be used as salary filler going to us.

What is with this MVP-obsession? Embiid is a great player, but there are quite a few players I'd rather trade for than him.

There only certainties now is that we have both all the assets required and all the time we need to make a major trade. If we do nothing for six months, we are very well set for the trade deadline, next off season or even the deadline after that. We don't have to win now and blowing a lot of...

One think that would be a high risk and potentially high reward move, is to use some of our picks to acquire picks from teams that have no insentive to tank. If we got the Brooklyn picks from Houston, would they be willing to trade Bridges to us? It does not make any sende now, but if we could...

I don't think we can trade for Beasley if they pick up the team option. You have to wait either for a year or for the contract the player had when you traded him to expire before signing him again.

At least we'll have Collins Sexton for a while.

Yes, we could absolutely give Clarkson a huge 1+1 deal to have a human trade exception. Now we don't need to do that and I think we are in a good spot.

Only if they were planning to sign players to max deals in FA this or next off season. Even if we R&E Lauri to the max for 24/25, him, Collins and Sexton would only take half of the cap combined. We are still very fine financially and have a lot of flexibility.

How is this high risk? Next season Collins' salary will be around 1/6th of the salary cap. We still have every opportunity to R&E Lauri next off season and at the following trade deadline, we have matching salary, young players and a lot of picks to trade for a real difference maker.

We really don`t do nicknames over here. I know I am being an old fart, the concept is just too foreign for me to really comprehend, I guess.

What is it with American culture that makes you want to idolize deranged mass murderers with these pop star-nicks and even create related nicks for athletes?

Norway here. What happened to DutchJazzer?
