re: AD Trade Scenario Thread - Put yours in here

Yeah I guess I haven't really understood what the Heat are doing since LeBron left. They seem to just be content to be mediocre until Riley can somehow get another top level FA to sign there.

They are an enigma to me. Their books are fricked for 2019-2020. No way they can pay the tax with the roster they have, but they also don't seem to want to really tank.

If I were them, I'd take a losing season in 2019-2020 and try to get a good pick and shed salary before going into 2021 where they won't have a pick. They will probably keep being a treadmill team on the bubble in the East with a mediocre overpaid roster though.

Option A:
Pels get:
Tatum
Smart
Memphis pick
Kings pick

Celtics get:
AD

Option B:
Pels get:
Ingram
Kuzma
Hart
#4 pick
#7 pick
2021, 2023, 2025 Lakers picks (1sts)

Lakers get:
Kris Dunn
AD

Bulls get:
Lonzo

Taking him that high would scare me to death though

If he was at the kings pick in a potential celtics deal then sign me up

Pels - Tatum/brown/Sexton/tristian Thompson/Memphis pick/ Boston pick 20

Celtics - AD/Solo/Jr smith

Cavs- Hayward/smart/sacto pick

Or

Pels - Tatum/beal/Williams/Memphis pick/ Boston pick 20

Celtics - AD/Solo

Wizards- smart/brown/Moore/sacto pick

If the suns throw in someone like bridges I'm interested

I don't mind that LAL trade either, but we would suck for a good 2-3 years with a lineup up Morant/Jrue/Ingram/Zion/whatever.


I just don't have any want for any laker player. Ingram isnt' bad, but i don't want him either. If we could turn Ingram/Solo into say Myles Turner, i'd be all for it. That would still leave us with a hole at the 3 somewhat. I still say Jrue can guard any 3 in the league, and Brogdon has done ok when he's had to guard Kawhi, so if you still went get him, and you let Jrue and Brogdon take the two best wing defenders, we'd be alright. Brogdon is 6'5" with a 6'11" wingspan, same wingspan as 6'8" Khris Middleton.

I could definitely get behind a core of
Ja/Brogdon/Zion/Turner with Jrue being the elder statesmen. We would still struggle for a while, but that's a serious contender in 4-5 years if Zion and Ja live up to the hype.

I would say it would be difficult to beat an AD haul of Morant/Turner/Hart/future 1st. I'd prefer Morant over Tatum, and i'd prefer Turner over anything else Boston has to offer. Would much rather the sure thing in Turner than getting 3 picks in the late teens. We can't just have a bunch of rookies running around. have to have some veterans with Jrue, even if those vets are still somewhat young like Brogdon and Turner.

Well, the best thing with that trade is it would clear approximately 25 million in cap space, on top of the 15 million we are projected to have, so we would essentially get all that, plus 40 million in cap space to go after whomever we choose in a VERY good FA class

Jesus, do you think Griffin has pictures of Jordan and Sarver kissing??

Only way this works is if the Suns and Hornets get like 20 first rd picks from now until 2060
