Buddy hield to warriors They lose Klay and instantly get deeper by adding hield, Anderson and melton We lose a guy? Do absolutely nothing That’s the difference between a real front office and our clown show We have vet minimums to offer and the tpmle which is 5 mill a year. If we want to do what warriors did we have to trade MPJ. |

Ingram is on the outs with the Pelicans. a MPJ/BI swap may interest both parties considering the Pels are not interested in a tankers package but I don't know what to make of the Kroenke's and their fixation with MPJ. I don't hate that. |

The Lakers signed the 55th pick to a 4 year deal . This is the new reality. The new cba is basically a hard cap so signing and developing even 2nd rounders becomes important. |

never thought I'd see the day where the Nuggets so thoroughly whooped the Lakers that players now put them in the "nah bruh" pile next to the Pistons.

The Nuggets are not signing a bunch of free agents so don’t hold your breath for that moment. Jordan has already agreed (to continue his player/coach role); the Westbrook thing may take some time as the Clippers quite likely don’t want to just buy him out and are probably trying to find a trade and get back something; I’m sure the Nuggets are still trying to trade Nnaji and that may take some time and affects the number of available roster spots and the positions at which they want/need bench help. Other teams have 5 or 6 or more open roster spots and they’ll be signing a bunch of churn and burn guys, and people here are just going to continue to write — “I don’t get why all these other teams are getting all the players and the Nuggets are just sitting on their hands because they are so incompetent . . . “ Come on man, there is no room for rational thought and logic right now. This time of year is like rock's Superbowl. Out of his 40k posts I'd bet at least 35k of them have come during the first week in July every year posting that exact phrase over and over anytime a free agent is signed by another team. I agree about Westbrook, though I do think it'll happen fairly quickly if it gets combined into one of these free agents deals. Like if the Jazz s&t Kris Dunn to the Clippers for Russ and a pick or something. Then he gets bought out by Utah (again) and signs here. Or maybe we jump in on the trade itself to bring him in. Seems like there are a lot of different ways it could happen, but feels fairly certain that it does. As far as signing Saric or anyone else to the TPMLE...not really surprising that it hasn't happened yet. There is always an order of operations to how free agency goes, and obviously it starts at the top with the best free agents signing for the most money. Then as money starts drying up and guys realize they aren't getting big contracts, that's when they start settling for the full MLE and then TPMLE last. Either way barring any kind of major shake up involving the trade of MPJ, this was never going to be a super exciting summer in terms of roster change. They seemed focused on adding some depth in the front court and finding a different option than Reggie at backup PG. It seems they've identified who they want and barring any kind of surprises, that's probably what ends up happening (bringing in Westbrook and Saric). The only real question in my eyes is whether Zeke ends up being dealt. Still sucks losing KCP, but overall I wouldn't be too upset if we ended the summer by adding Holmes, Westbrook, and Saric. Obviously the starting rotation takes a little bit of a hit by going from KCP to Braun. But Westbrook/Strawther/Watson/Holmes/Saric should be an improvement from Jackson/Braun/Watson/Holiday/Jordan. If somehow Zeke can be traded for a backup SG, then it feels like a nicely rounded rotation and not much worse than last season, if at all. We'll see what happens in the coming days. |

We don't want to bring him in on a trade because that will wipe out our tpmle. Need him bought out so we can sign him for minimum. |

And Westbrook relies on being bought out. Its cool and gives some imaginary credit to s**t on Rock. But the FO is sleeping right now and putting all their eggs in two baskets. Lets hope it works out, and Im surprised people are so casual about potentially wasting years of Jokic prime |

Don't worry, y'all. The Trey Alexander signing is official now.
See? We're doing stuff. Like replacing Collin Gillespie with a totally unknown quantity for the same price.

I get why everyone is impatient, but sometimes doing nothing is the only good option. Letting KCP walk could be the end of the Nuggets winning rings with Jokic. OR, it could work out a lot like when they let Grant walk. We won't truly know the answer until the trade deadline when everything truly gets locked in. Until then, to quote the Beatles - there will be an answer, let it be |

Do you think New Orleans would entertain a trade centered around MPJ for Ingram?
I doubt Josh would let it happen, but it gets us out of the MPJ contract and brings someone in that can create their own shot and is an above average passer and defender. We'd lose 3 point shooting and the injury risk that is Ingram (hasn't played more than 65 games in a season since his first season in LA) But the trade off is getting out of the MPJ contract.

I think losing both KCP and MPJ - to be replaced by guys who don't really shoot 3s - is too much of a disaster waiting to happen.
Teams would just triple team Jokic and dare anyone not named Jamal Murray to hit a 3.
So I'm not a fan of the Ingram idea.
