Wow, per Lowe if sixers don't get Mavs top 18 protected pick this year, it becomes their 2017 2nd and 2018 2nd.

His value must be so low and they knew long term he's prob not a good fit. Seems crazy

You way overvaluing those second round picks

Wow Sixers pretty likely aren't getting a first for noel? LOL

I was agreeing with you, "this analysis" referred to the other guy's argument

Oh wow the Mavericks ****ing robbed em.

It'd take like, 7 2nd rounders to move up from 10 to 8.

Had heard the 76ers were low on 2nd rounders so good thing they've got a few more headed their way.

They should trade all their 2nd rounders into one draft and then get a 2nd d-league team with 15 second round picks from one draft and just let them all play in the d-league together. Call it like the '18ers after they move them all to next year's draft.

LOL Sixers, maybe they will give Rob Covington 80 million after all

I would add I think you are probably overrating the Celts equity in 4-6 years by standing pat. They're only even like 50% or w/e to get Ball/Fultz.

I don't think teams can really take the mindset "The Warriors have a fantasy dream team, we should push everything back a half decade"

Consolidating assets is important, but a PG rental is less valuable than a top pick in this draft. & he's not giving any assurances regarding staying.

Would much rather see them sit out this deadline, sign Heyward, draft Ball, & explore trades for AB &/or IT2 in the off-season.
Or maybe he doesn't want to answer dumb questions about it?

LOL. At least one of us can read I suppose. My bad.

A dog, but you raise your equity significantly. They have some nice assets but their two best players are 28 & 30 and are already a top ~7 team itl. You can't have your foot in both doors forever, at some point you have to make a move and trust that even though you're sacrificing your 10 year equity, when the time comes you'll be able to maneuver and put yourself in an advantageous position again.

Thomas/Smart/George/Crowder/Horford with Stevens coaching can hang with the Cavs. I agree with what Thakid said yesterday, if you know you can get Hayward this offseason I don't like this deal just bc Hayward is younger and better than George and you wouldn't be giving up assets to get him. But since it's extremely they could know that for sure I would be very tempted to pull the trigger if I'm Ainge.

Lol funny shift in one sentence.

This was definitely a great deal for the mavs.

I really want to see a deal involving 10 or more 2nd rounders being moved at once.

It seems like the Sixers valued Okafor more than Noel which is absolutely absurd.

LOL

like stacking 50 x $1 chips on a blackjack table

76ers just need to find a 9 way trade where they get some combo of players or lottery picks that they want and send 10 second rounders to like 3-5 of the other teams to balance things out.

lol

With those protections, as much of a steal as that is for Dallas, is it really that bad for Philly?

What else could they do? He didn't wanna be there and he is a pending RFA. Seems like his market was not exactly robust right now. If you're gonna criticize Phi for anything then I think it is not moving him earlier when he had a lot more value.

Seems like they just screwed themselves by waiting too long.

wat?

Thank you Colangelo for being a dumbass. Two second rounders and Anderson for Noel? That's insane, but I'm pumped about it.

I feel like it's especially good for Mavs considering we can never land a free agent.

It's a true statement.

Also geoffras I agree with a lot of your long posts I just think their equity is much better if they wait for Bron to get a bit older. They still have enough young assets + Brad as to where finding ways to replace/improve after Horford is done is very doable.

I know lots of people in dallas are sad Anderson go but he is likely at best a end of rotation guy on a good team. I know some are worried about him being another crowder but crowder was much more crystallized as being a decent player while he was in dallas. Anderson is about hope.
