Post your Billy King dumb like trade ideas in here

You should try to not be so condescending Hack.

It's not the condescension so much as the combination of innumeracy, illiteracy, lack of critical thinking ability, confidence, and general misanthropy.

At least I have foresight and can see how a bad trade will play out.

You've yet to provide much of an argument. You also failed to recognize that I didn't support the trade as proposed in the OP...There's that illiteracy and irrational confidence. Thanks for providing such a useful demonstration.

WTF are you talking about? Now you are saying didn't support the trade? Damn bro. That short memory is killing you. How do you not remember what you posted?

Also, just because you don't agree with my argumen, doesn't mean it isn't a good one.

How do you not remember? In consecutive posts I said that I wasn't sure that the trade from the OP was all that great, and that I'd definitely want Lowry for less.

It might help if you actually read people's posts before commenting on them.

Your argument was based on weak or false premises. That's my point. I agree (and agreed) that it's possible to come down on either side of that trade. I'm on the fence about it, as I've already said.

First of all, the trade suggested probably isn't enough to aquire Lowry. And you want to subtract a first rounder.

Even with one less first rounder we give up, its still a bad idea.

I promise you, that in 2-3 years, this will look like a bad idea.

Assets for a good player.

With Lowry we might have 4 top 10 players in their respective positions.

And no money, no backup C, no draft pick, and no flexibility if it does not work out. It's a bad trade IMO.

We have 45.8M tied in contracts. If we accept the contracts of Lowry and Patterson (17.8M) we get to 63.6, if we send Trey to Toronto, that would make it about 61M. The cap is projected to be around 67M... We will have 6M to the cap with the following players tied with contracts:

Gordon Hayward
Derrick Favors
Dante Exum
Alec Burks
Rodney Hood
Rudy Gobert
Kyle Lowry
Patrick Patterson.



If you offer 5M to Tomic, you are left with 1M that you can spend on Millsap's contract. You have mid-level exception of ~2.8M, that you can split to multiple players. Say you pick the option on Cotton. You are left with 2M(Lets say our 2 second round picks). We can go above the limit for resigning our own players(Jingles, Evans). So you are left with a depth chart like this:

Depth chart:

PG: Lowry, Exum, Cotton
SG: Burks, Hood, Millsap, (second round pick)
SF: Hayward, Hood, Ingles
PF: Favors, Patterson, Evans
C: Gobert, Tomic, (second round pick)

If you need a hole plugged at some time during the season you are allowed to use a min-salary exception to sign a D-Leaguer for example.

I don't see how that hurts our flexibility when this is going to be the cap only for one year and after that the cap jumps to ~90 million. So we would have ~20 million to spend the first year of the new CBA, and 30M in the second year of the CBA(~45-50M if it's used for resigning our own players).

Wait so every trade that cashes out future assets for vets is a stupid billy king trade... Because the only way to build a contender is through the draft... There is no other way to do it huh?

Boston, Detroit, Miami (the shaq team), and Dallas all say hello.
