Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Locke is not impressing me much this offseason...

Other than his Favors on/off numbers which I thought was insightful. But even then he seems reluctant to say that it actually means anything definitively.
Even with the Favors-Gobert on off numbers he missed one of the most important contexts in this whole situation - namely - almost every single minute Gobert and Favors play together is a minute against starters, while almost every minute Gobert plays with another big/small at the 4 is played against non-starting lineup.
 
How bad do they want to get rid of Parsons? Imagine if Doncic was still there at 4...

I can’t really see any way it works for us though. Unless getting rid of that contract is worth just taking 21 and filler salaries.
 
Wait the draft is before the guarantee date for those contracts right? So we could trade them and the salary is just completely off the books. Is that exactly what Memphis wants?

21, 2019 first, expiring contracts, and maybe Crowder if they want some kind of real player, for Parsons and #4.

It’s a deal I do instantly, which makes me think there is no way it’s fair for them. But I also have no idea about their FO state of mind. Are they just trying to save money?

God, Doncic or JJJ....

If that happened, this board would explode. I would start the build a statue for DL campaign. I would do that deal in a heart beat.
 
Twitter is alright with fans begging Memphis to take much better offers than that one. Unsurprisingly.

So ignore my ramblings, I got caught on a dream for a brief moment.

Nope, the only money that will count in the trade is the guaranteed money. You cannot give them cap relief at this point by sending out contracts that will expire in a few weeks.
 
Hell to the No on Ntilikina... had him on my fantasy team last year and he's stiff as a board. Can't dribble. Can't shoot. Can't drive.


I just don't like a guard who can't create his own shot.... reminds me too much of Exum without the explosive drive/finish.


Pass.
