Official NBA 2016-2017 Thread - 30 teams, 1 goal. 2 weeks left, so much can happen!!
More than likely it would need to be three team deal in which the Cavs move TT.
The kings take on expiring contracts and draft picks and the Cavs get cousins.
I would assume Shump and TT would have to be moved
Naw that shit straight up, you
Said the contracts done match I showed u a way they could match..
TT, McRae and future 1st
For
Boogie
That an ass of a trade but just showing you the numbers is there.
Money wise
TT and McRae could work...
Player wise
Love and McRae which Kings would take on more $$$$
Contracts matching was one factor but the other team which is the kings will want something of value.
So TT and McRae is not something the Kings would want.
What they would want is expering contracts and draft picks so a three team deal would be needed
Plenty of teams would take TT and send the Kings expiring contracts and draft picks. That way the kings can tank and get multiple picks
Sources: Festus Ezeli likely to undergo season-ending knee surgery
Portland Trail Blazers center Festus Ezeli will likely undergo season-ending surgery on his left knee, league sources told The Vertical.
Ezeli’s representatives at BDA Sports and the Trail Blazers have not yet finalized the surgery, but he’s strongly leaning toward the procedure, sources said.
Ezeli had been contemplating surgery in recent weeks due to an ailing left knee that has failed to adequately respond in rehab, sources said. There has been significant consultation with the Blazers’ medical staff and knee specialists on the necessity for the procedure, sources said.
Portland (13-15) had hoped Ezeli could play a part in anchoring a defense that has slipped to 28th in the league in points allowed. The Blazers have struggled to defend the paint this season.
After three seasons with the Golden State Warriors, Ezeli signed a two-year, $15 million contract with the Blazers.
The deal is partially guaranteed in 2017-18 for $1 million out of his $7.7 million salary, which means he could have value to the Blazers as a contract to include in a larger trade.
Portland has until Jan. 15 to apply for a Disabled Player Exception worth $3.7 million if Ezeli misses the season. To use the exception, the team would need to create a roster spot. The Blazers are currently $27,000 below the luxury tax and have guard Tim Quarterman on a non-guaranteed deal.
As the 30th overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft, Ezeli developed into a solid backup center in Golden State. Ezeli averaged seven points and 5.6 rebounds in 46 games last season.
The thing is though, lets say Kings and Cavs did that trade; That doesnt make the Cavs better; and that actually makes their starting five that much weaker against GS; Even though TT is trash, Cousins isnt the offensive rebounder TT is; and they would have no spacing on the floor whatsoever; dont like it...
Brother lets examine this post...
Kyrie - Kyrie
JR - JR
Lebron -Lebron
Love - Love
TT - Boogie
Rebounds
Cousins - 10.9
TT - 10.0
Blocks
Cousins - 1.44
TT - 1.28
Offensive Rebs
Cousins - 2.4
TT - 3.3
Ft's
Cousins - .758
TT - .462
I don't like to use just this far as spacing but it will have to do at the moment...
(I'll look for advance stats later)
3 point shooting
Cousins - 41/114 = .360
TT - 0/1 = .000
You said the Cavs would need contract to match and said they don't...
I showed you how they did...
Now what they want is another thing
No no lol, I'm saying based on TT and Love getting traded; i mean it's all hypothetical but there is no way in hell love wouldn't be apart of 5 trade; we gotta be somewhat realistic
; so based off that cavs would not be better once they gave up love and TT.....
No no lol, I'm saying based on TT and Love getting traded; i mean it's all hypothetical but there is no way in hell love wouldn't be apart of 5 trade; we gotta be somewhat realistic
Yea...well at first I though they would need to trade both, after looking at everything I noticed money wise they don't.
True be told, if you want to be realistic they could trade Love for Boogie straight up and save a few dollars. Then still have TT, that's when u just looking at numbers.
Kyrie
Smith
Lebron
Boogie
TT
Now I'll wait for the replies, as to how this don't make any sense along with not being possible.
Reports: Clippers' Blake Griffin to have knee surgery, out 3-6 weeks
Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffinwill have "minor surgery" on his right knee in the coming days, as first reported by The Vertical's Shams Charania. According to USA Today's Sam Amick, Griffin is expected to miss three to six weeks. This news comes as a surprise; Griffin has played well for the Clippers since sitting out one game on Dec. 10 because of right knee soreness.
Blake Griffin has to have surgery again. USATSI
At the time, the Clippers said Griffin's sore knee wasn't serious. Now, it is apparently serious enough to warrant surgery (There is one conflicting report on this: The Orange County Register's Dan Woike tweeted that the surgery is not 100 percent confirmed yet.)
It is not clear if something happened to exacerbate the issue in the last four games, but it didn't hurt his production -- since the game he missed, Griffin has averaged 23.8 points, 8.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists, including a 26-point, seven-rebound, seven-assist performance in the Clippers' 117-110 loss to the Washington Wizards on Sunday.

A few thoughts:
- This is obviously a setback. Griffin has been having a fantastic season, and after having to miss most of last season, the last thing he wanted was another surgery, "minor" or not.
- It might not be much consolation, but the Clippers have proved in recent seasons to be capable of withstanding injuries to their stars. When Griffin is hurt, DeAndre Jordan and J.J. Redick usually see their numbers rise, whileChris Paul's usage goes through the roof.
- Let's not turn this into a catastrophe, at least not yet. The most important thing for the Clippers is that they're fully healthy in the postseason, not in late December. If Griffin returns next month and hits his stride as the playoffs approach, then Los Angeles will have absolutely done the right thing here.
Again, money that may make sense but outside of that it doesnt; Now from a team perspective, Cavs would be slower and spacing wouldnt be good; Who is stretching the floor in that lineup; And if Boogie is taking jump shots well teams will live with that all day; And him and TT on the floor at the same time well teams would just packed the lane; and their would be know driving lanes for Bron and Kyrie; But we know Sac would require more than just Love

Y'all sorry dennabish
So I've noticed the last couple times I've seen Boogie play including vs the Mavs yesterday he is dribbling way too much going behid the back trying to cross niggas over out of control
Nigga if you don't get your big ass in the post whether that be the high or low post in the post
Biggest nigga in the game trying to mix niggas up with sloppy handles
He need a coach he will respect

Again, money that may make sense but outside of that it doesnt; Now from a team perspective, Cavs would be slower and spacing wouldnt be good; Who is stretching the floor in that lineup; And if Boogie is taking jump shots well teams will live with that all day; And him and TT on the floor at the same time well teams would just packed the lane; and their would be know driving lanes for Bron and Kyrie; But we know Sac would require more than just Love
Man I'm stop posting numbers...
I post numbers to show that the spacing might not be as much of a issue as y'all think.
Boogie has been efficient from outside , not as much as Lil Kev but way more than others.
Boogie can hit threes but I don't know how many of them I want him taking

Portland needs to do a deal with Philly right now. Allen Crabbe and a pick for Nerlens Noel(who is pissed at lack of playing time). This trade helps both teams.
I'm with you, all I was trying to get across, that dude can shoot outside of 12ft and farther
Gonna be a fun ride watching Embiid and Towns go at it during their careers... Hopefully my Sixers will put a team around him so the matchups can make sense 
we was supposed to keep ezili tho
Glad you didn't now tho huh?
right
he was healthy HALF the time he was here lol
