Kind of agree that Toronto should be unloading the clip even if they're defacto competing for 2nd place.

I imagine Danny Ainge is also on the phone a lot right now.

Out for 6 weeks, who knows if the injury lingers then. I say trade him for Meelo.

I have a betting history here with no issues that i can recall. Granted I dont think any of the bets have been this large.

Im assuming you dont want 1k tied up in escrow for months either so I'll offer $250 with each you and yung rass w/o escrow if you're both okay with it.

Still giving you full option for anything up to the full 1k and will still be willing to send to eacrow today if needed.

Really just trying to make things as least complicated as possible is all. Just lmk.

Raps fan, I love the ibaka trade. Basically gave up nothing to get him. Norm can take rosses minutes, and didn't need two late round picks.

I guess the question is how much better he makes us, and i think the answer is quite a lot. Massive whole at the 4 which is filled, fits perfectly with Jonas, and can play the 5 in the clutch when Jonas gets benched like he always does.

Dino championship time!

The Raps had a lot of depth at the 4/5, but were thin at the top and the opposite was true for the wings. Now they have Sullinger, Poeltl, Siakam, getting 0 minutes and probably Nogueira getting very few as well. Think they need to move one of them or some 2nd round picks and Sullinger (or Van Vleet) for a veteran rotational wing that can play 5 minutes a night or fill in if there's an injury since they have Carroll, Powell, DD and that's it for wings (Lowry sometimes plays the 2 on bench units I guess)

someone to push Carroll and backup DDR
(Joseph & Powell essentially being the backups 2s is problem, could use an option with some size)

Nogueira seems like a good defender, and thus should probably play more on this terrible defensive team

I was briefly concerned for Caldwell-Pope & wondering what he was doing on a barn...

Nurkic has quite the Eurotrash hair. Clearly a cause for concern and it gives me the fear.

nice trade for the raptors, even if it doesn't work out its low-risk, high-upside and just consistently staying top 4 in the East for the next several seasons is a good result

Orlando should probably punt Payton too while they're at it and try and get one of Fultz/Ball.

even though it sounds like Masai REALLY wants to pay Ibaka this summer, probably worth it if it keeps Lowry around. so yeah, hang around in the mix for a few years and see what happens. beats the alternative i guess.

pretty young team too, with Lowry & Carroll as their oldest (both turn 31 this year), then next oldest are Patterson & DDR who turn 28. i mean, if you don't count Ibaka, who is obv 45.

Love that trade for Toronto. They're stuck behind Cleveland, but good enough they need to just go for balls-out-win-now mode. Their finals equity should go up because of this, Ibaka's a good piece.

and Orlando should be renamed loooooooooooooorlando

3 milly in cash for Nuggets makes me slightly more positive on the trade. That's actually a decent amount (most cash considerations are <1M) and the pieces involved are just middling pieces so the cash can actually tip the scales somewhat.

I'll do it for 750 and geoffras can take the other 250 if he wants. If not I'll prob take it for 1k.

It is only 2 months so we don't have to escrow. Just don't ****ing fanerio me and I won't fanerio you, ok?
