There is only 1x ball folks!

Lbj & luka are too similar.

1x is 40… 1x is 25…

Lakers have no defense…

Until now… Rob pelinka sets LA UP FOR NEXT 10 YEARS…

by trading lebron & bronny home to Cle for the fro.. JA ..

LA gets depth w c levert & shooter max struss to space floor.

Cle does this trade to push all in…

They bring in 3rd team and get w Kessler as backup big.

Utah gets 2x 1st rd picks…

And Dalton knight.

This is perfect trade 4all parties

Lebron waves no trade clause to go chase rings w Cle…

It's perfect trade 4 all parties……

Zach Lavine gets a bad rap… he's not a max player in the new CBA but his 42mil per yr is only 3x years… and cle can cover for his Def w mobley & allen..

Lavine can play off ball & cut..

He can facilitate offense when Don is on bench and of dG don't got it going. Lavine can get a bucket..

And chi attaching 1st in 26.. and 2x 2nds to get off lavine..

Lineup of DG.. Don.. Lavine.. mobley & allen…

Give up okoro & struss & Levert..U u U lose depth

But cle got pieces to step up. Emoni bates.. Craig Porter Jr. Sam merrill.. And jaylon is a steal and a bucket getter at 20..

Lavine could run 2nd unit…

Bulls want off lavine & giving back assets like Levert & struss & okoro are pieces Chi is looking to get back on rebuild.

Thoughts…

U give up depth to go get lavine..

$ off books when Don can resgn in 27.. giving cle max slot $ in fa if it dont work….

If LAL want a 24 yr All Star in his prime who can shoot the 3 ball lights out & Run P & R like a maestro… then Klutch D Garland is their guy… even over Trae Young who left klutch for CAA..

Don Mitchell resigned this AM & locked in for 4 yrs thru his prime…

Garland is 24 yr old All Star & if LAL want him.. Buss will need to incl A Reaves ; Dlo After opting in to 18mil deal.. and if im.cle i.want Dalton knect… instead of hood schifino…

And 3x future unprotected 1sts…

U aint gonna find a 24 yr All Star pg who can.shoot like dg can. Huge potential… still there. He's just 24..

Obviously reeves needs to be incl.. another option could br Rui Hachimura but then Dalton knect.. and hood schifino need to be incl..

Plus Dlo & 3x future 1sts..

I think A Reeves could be moved now since D knect.. fell in draft to lal lap..

Cle could move Garland and secure pieces around DA Don.. Plus 3x fut 1sts….

New Orleans is finding out teams aren't going to trade superstar… and multiple 1sts to get Ingram to sign him to a Max extension.

If Cle thinks Ingram is missing piece then they need to put n 1st rd pick in future. Make it lottery protected or top 8 protected…

Then Cle gets 1 yr to see if Ingram should get a max. Tho he will get pd he not a max guy. 4yr 150 mil. .something Lil less than max of 200mil +.

New Orleans gets strus who spaces floor 4 zion & gets okoro whoonly in early 20s N improved 3 pt shot every yr & is a lock down drfender..

New Orleans gets good pieces o good contracts & don't lose Ingram 4 nothing..

I don't see teams giving up multiple 1sts unprotected for 1 yr , then having to pay guy max $ …

New Orleans could a & should a moved him few yrs ago when he had more yrs on his deal , & more valuable of an asset….

High Risk… High Reward…

Cavs need to move on from J Allen aka JA , D Garland aka DG…

Mobley has had time to fill out & put on muscle which was plan all along. Mobley is not a 4! Maybe 15yrs ago he would be a 4. But in modern NBA he is a 5! He can switch 1-5 & is DPOY candidate tho I think wemby will be winning at least 3x in a row or more barring injury..

Mobley at 5 will unlock his full potential!

Cle offense needs SPACE… MOBLEY AT 4 , AND JA at 5 kills Spacing.. as neither are threats from 3 consistently…

Mobley at 5 opens up Cle to play B Ingram at the 4 in this trade scenario.

From Cle perspective we need spacing & shooting around Donovan Mitchell but also losing DG we need secondary playmaker & Ingram can initiate offense & run p n r & get to his mid range gm. He's not best 3 pt shooter but is an assassin at mid range.

Koby Altman is smart by saying none of core 4 are available. Makes teams over pay.

Once Don signs on dotted line extension then these moves wil…

Cavs need to move 2x players to make the next step to building a championship team… This trade at 1st glance probably seems like a loss 1st cavs but let me explain..

1st off this trade only happens if you resign Don Mitchell ofc.

The 2x small back court of DG & Spida won't work. And there's only 1 ball! DG wants to be primary ball handler… GL in LA w lbj w that. Lol.

LA desperately wants a star… they don't want to Trade Austin Reaves tho but to get DG and lbj to resign they may move him. He would be a perfect for Cle w rua off bench and Dlo could opt in w LA w understanding cavs would give him new deal then upon arrival.

Dlo is a sharp shooter and can play off ball better than DG.. DG does not thrive off ball.. DLo can get streaky w his 3 ball & reminds me of Mike conley.. both ohio state alum so dlo back to ohio is a win.

Ofc losing dg hurts for dlo & Reaves & rui but lal also giving up 3x future 1sts which will be when lbj is 35… should be good high picks tho LA always …

Cs pov -

Pairing Tatum w Dame & Porzingis would make alot of sense & put Boston back as betting Favs in easthe.

Losing Brown would not be a negative when u get back a top 75 player..

Brogdon bad contracts gets included & this deal actually helps Cs cap situation.. with new cba..

Paying brown max deal is tough especially after his dreadful playoff performances. Bad shots. Bad 3s. Thinking he's batman but he's not. Tatum is batman.

Imagine Lillard taking those 3s instead of brown.. cs prob get to finals..

Cs - need to unload brown bc it don't work.. removing smart won't solve browns bad shots n thinking he's 1a when he's a 2 or 3..

Plus the new cba .. maxing brown is tough deal for Cs..

Blazers pov..

Get best available.. youngest guy..

Brown could be the guy in Portland w scoot and Simon's n Sharpe & grant. He fits age timeline w younger core. Dame is 32. Brown is 25'26..

Brogdon bad $ deal os good vet for scoot to learn from. Prob move him eventually to a winner.

Win win.. …

Ppl have doubts about this trade but it makes way too much sense not to do..

Cle pushes all in & trades a 23 yr old Garland for the 32 yr old Lillard.

Throw in.Rubio & 2x 2nds..

Cle has Mitchell locked up & if Lillard agrees to trade he will have a legit chance to win a title.

W additions of Max Strus.. Niang.. cle got 3pt shooting.

W a potential starting 5 of

Dame Lillard Donovan Mitchell Max Strus Evan Mobley Jarret Allen

Levert Okoro

Levert or Okoro could start at the 3 also.

This would instantly make Cle a Fav in the East & Accelerate their timeline to win titles now.

Garland has great potential & he is only 23 but he is not that explosive athlete that can get his own. He's great in P n R. He's not great off ball though. He needs ball in his hand. Defensively he's a negative. Though improved he's a liability.

Lillard is same way on Def but difference is Lillard can get his own when he wants. He is a better shot maker.. he is clutch & thrives in.big momens.

Garland was s…

Hey nba fans

The foul out Rule must be changed from 6 Fouls to 8 Fouls. 1 reason is FLOPPING & NBA refs influencing gms

Fans already think NBA refs are corrupt & often rig gms.

It's quite easy to give a star player 2 early fouls & influence a gm.

Often these aren't Fouls but flops.

NBA refs are best in world but the players all FLOP now.

60 yrs ago they didn't flop.

Also increased foul limit to 8 will only make the GM better. Nba has Flagrant & technical foul ejections for hard fouls so increasing to 8 fouls won't cause players to foul harder.

What it will do is allow Best players to decide outcome of gms rather than refs. Players get in early foul trouble & then play no defense. It's bad for the game.

Also I reviewed every foul out player for past season & over 93% of foul outs had a questionable call. Either a flop or missed call.

Often stars in.foul trouble will commit a foul & refs would give foul to another player. Go watch Jordan's games in 90s. Lol.

Bottom line is Fl…

Cavs Still need that starting SF. I like Okoro development. Ppl 4get how young he is & his Defense is elite. I also like Lamar Steven's GM. He's improveD & has body of a SF.

But Cavs could go out & get Jae Crowder… he is perfect for this Cavs team.

Levert ain't a SF…

Windler can't stay Healthy…

And Cedi can't play Defense but truth is he would be perfect fit for uptempo Sun's who need a movement shooter….

Cp3 cold unlock Cedi & he could thrive in phx & his value contract is ideal..

Phx gets Cedi.. who only 28.. & Windler who if stays healthy has upside & still young.. plus 2x 2nd rd picks incl lal 2nd which has value.

Now Crowder is 32 on expiring Deal, givin him a 3 yr deal at 10-12mil per would coincide w mitchells deal.

And cavs would stay under the cap!!

Thoughts?…

Lakers desperately need Rim protection. Myles Turner & Buddy Hield make so much sense on LA. Once again LeGM mucking w roster trying to get kyrie but if I'm LA I'm not taking Kyrie & give him a 5yr max next yr. No thx.

Lineup of LeBron Hield Walker IV Davis Turner is what LA needs. LA will need to address pg or let LeBron run point.

Rim protection w Turner & Davis is what LA needs plus Hield shooting w James drawing dbl teams.

4get Kyrie..

Take Turner & Hield as that is Fit needed.. Thoughts?…

Jazz are able to get a younger Spida in Sexton to rebuild. Sexton will sell tickets & Utah will love him. He can put up #s & tank…

Windler is still nice prospect on rookie deal.. $$$ works..

Bogdanovic to CLE makes too much sense.. The only thing holding deal up is an extension.

Bogie is 31-32 & expiring..

He is the 3 & D wing Cle needs badly…

Bogie Bogdanovic + 23 Late FRP protected, for Sexton at 23 in his prime is Right Deal for both teams..

Jazz have 3 FRP in 23 1st & that pick sent to Cle will be heavy protected.. could be 2x 2nds instead possibly, but for Colin Sexton in his prime for a 31 yr Bogdanovic draft compensation needs to go to Cle.

The ? Is would bogey agree to extension around $18mil per yr over 3 yrs. 4th a Team Option.

Thoughts?…

I think this deal everyone wins..

Bkn Nets have a cancer… it's Kyrie Irving…

Lakers want that cancer But playing gard ball. But LeBron ain't resigning unless they put 1sts in a deal. Nets know this…

Also it's clear KD does not believe in Ben Simmons AT ALL…

Jazz are now shopping D Mitchell & are said to be interested in sign & trade for a younger cheaper version. Collin Sexton..

Cle still looking for that Def wing & playmaker. They had Interest in Ben Simmons & Nets can't get Mitchell without moving Simmons.

So the deal takes form.. Cle ships out Sexton, Love, Osman + FRP…

Cle takes on bad $$$ deal in Joe Harris back + get Ben Simmons. It's Cle missing piece. Also Ben gets out of big city w pressure & being the guy, he can be D Green facilitator w Garland Mobley & Allen.

Bkn has had talks on KD. But he's locked up for 4 yrs. I ain't taking penny on dollars. He's locked up 4 yrs. Bkn just needs to get rid of the Cancer & say KD your under contract. We will do what's be…

Ayton is going to Pacers & getting paid. It could be an offer sheet but a s&t makes too much sense for M Turner. Phx can then decide the fit as it's expiring. Turner legit shot blocker is perfect fit in Phx.

Sad but ayton prob gonna get 24mil range but Lil short of Max, unless LA swoops in & trades for B Hield. LA wants to hold onto its 1sts. Plus Hield makes no sense when u got Duarte & Mathurin needing mins.

LA offers 4x fut 2nds plus works expiring deals w Cle to go back to Indy.

Cle, agbaji is the Future sg. Sexton wants 20mil + & makes no sense. He's nor worth it.

LA IS DESPERATE… so Cle pkgs Sexton & Love to LA for Russ & THT + 2x unprotected 1sts in 27 & 29. Plus 2x 2nds..

I think thos is type of deal Pelinka trying to do w Klutch & Sexton but then Kyrie said I'm available trade 4 ne LA.

So LeBron is pushing mgmt to take KY tho LA listened last time w LBJ demanding the Russ deal. LA gave in & was epic failure.

So when Jeannie Buss takes a shot to Lbj… referring to k…

OK Nets… It speaks volume KD don't want to run it back w healthy Ben Simmons. Let's be real… Without KD taking away pressure Ben Simmons is gonna get roasted in BKN. He thought Phillies fans were bad. He has no chance leading that team. Let's be real. His mental state is fragile. Enter Cle which is tailor made for him as a 3rd option in a smaller Markey where he can thrive.. He is missing piece to the puzzle for Koby Altman. If it costs 2x fut 1sts & 2 expiring so be it. I know Agbaji fits at the 2 perfectly w their lineup. Plus Cle got levert to run pnr.

As for Nets 1x reason you move BS..

Bc you can go out & get Donovan Mitchell. We get back to Nets but it's Addition by subtraction & building a new team..

Lakers -

LA wants LBJ to resign & why stop at Kyrie, if you can reunite the Cle Big 3. Love is still 1 of best snipers at 4 in gm. He fits perfectly w lbj & KY drawing dbl teams. Now AD has been awful in LA past year. In this deal AD is moved to Bkn to get off Russ $$.

Bu…

Lol.. sry 4 click bait but Nets are moving up in odds bc Bookies realize, that they actually may have a better team after making the trade.

D&D wins titles…

Defense & Depth…

Nets w KY & KD ate going nowhere. W Ben They had a chance but are missing the Def Anchor.

Claxton is OK but they miss big Jay. ReAL Bad…

Enter Phx Sun's & a possible return of:

Nets get 3x pick swaps in bt FRPs kn off yrs which don't show on here.

D Ayton Mi Bridges C Johnson J Crowder 4x 1sts 2x swaps in b.t. 3x 2nd rd picks

Then that's just for KD.

For KY they 3 team w SAS to move to LA.

LA gets KY

Nets get

Russ THT Nunn 27 1st 4x 2nds

Then Nets move Russ to SAS..

Get back McDermott , J Richardson, R Langford… Nets give up LAL 1st in 27 top 8 protected by them plus 4x 2nds. If don't convey spurs gets 1st Pick out of Lottery following yr.

Spurs have cap space, buyout Russ. Get a FRP & 4x 2nds for there trouble. Should be plenty to entice SAS to make move. Bunch of free assets.

Nets still g…

Nets are better off with KY & KD…

This dudebis crazy.. click bait..

No seriously it's all about D & D in NBA today…

D&D is guess what…

DEPTH & DEFENSE…

I love what Nets are building Here with this move…

They get 4x 1sts & 3swaps from Tor.

S Barnes Precious OG G Trent Jr

All are under 23. All fit timeline w Ben Simmons & the Def team will be Scary..

Projected Starters

Ben Simmons G Trent Jr OG S Barnes Claxton

Precious, Tj Warren, Royce Oneale

Def Def Def

Shooting

Se Curry THT C Thomas P Mills

Nets are going to be serious 4 real..

Oneale Warren Simmons OG Barnes that's basically All NBA 1st team Def there..

Imagine Simmons at PG OG at SF & Barnes at small ball Center..

Claxton is solid young C w Rim protection. Oops guy..

If they pulled off this trade, Tor still have big 3 of KD, Fred Van Vleet & P Siacom.. That's a heck of a big 3x & KD locked up for 4 yrs. Add in T Young, K Birch, The C they resigned Bouche..

But If I'm Nets & pull off that trade, I ca…

So Nets are a mess & its bc 1x person, Kyrie Irving.

He has made day to day operations so unbearable that Ben Simmons don't even like going to the facility to put in work.

Nets take back control & GM & Ownership realize KD is under contract for 4yrs. Time to get to work.

Problem #1 - remove the cancer

But before doing so, KD wants nothing to do w Ben Simmons. They seen him in playoffs fall apart under bright lights.

KD says 1st things 1st.. Move BS…

Operation Fix Bkn Nets - remove the cancer & the BS…

Enter Cle & 23 yr old Fut Star C Sexton. KD Nets seen 1st hand what he's about. Google Sexton 42pts vs Nets big 3 highlights.

Sexton in sign & trade + Loves expiring makes the $$$ work w Cavs taking back injured J Harris bad deal for 2x more yrs. Cle incl 3x fut lotto protected 1sts in 25 & 27.

Next after the bs. Time to remove cancer.. Cuban needs replace Brunson swings 4 fences w KY. Paired w Luka could build Dynasty.

Bkn gets best return.. 2x fut 1sts lottery protected …

Dallas needs a secondary pnr creator & want Sexton.

I'm not even considering it for Hardaway Jr Hardy & 3x 1sts - late 20s..

Instead I offer Levert.

He is exactly what Dal needs. Can get to paint & Kick when Luka resting.

I'm keeping Sexton at 23 & his work ethic. I believe he is my closer & starting sg / 6th man role if he accepts it.

No1 is giving Sexton max $ let alone 20mil putting up empty stats 2 yrs ago. 25% 3pt on 16ppg on good team thru 16gms.

Dal should jump at Levert Deal…

Mavs desperately need Sexton but it's going to cost them.

Cavs aren't interested in Hardaway Jr per say at 30.

Vs Sexton who is 23.

Mavs own all picks 24 and up.

Mavs could offer 3x FRP in 25, 27, & 29..

W Luka, those picks prob are late 1sts, so I don't think it's enough.

Sexton work ethic is generational.

If Dal did 3FRPs. 3x 2nds.

And 3x swaps in bt yrs. Ofc all unprotected.

Would you trade 3x late 1sts for Sexton who was picked #8..

Could Luka get hurt.. sure but dal has good team plus Sexton & there be contenders.

Sexton a better scorer than Brunson.

Be scary w Luka..

I still say no if I'm Koby.

I stay put & match any offer & keep him.

Sexton too elite of scorer at only 23.

For comparison in Michael Jordan Rookie season he was 22-23…

So basically look at agbaji at 22.

Point is this.. He's still so young.

U need to look first few years as growth.

And did MJ get better?

Sexton work ethic is unlike very few..

He is a bball junkie..

Eats breathes lives ball….
