I would guess it's a second round pick, possibly one with protections that make it unlikely to ever convey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 Sorry for taking over the thread, but also the NBA is apparently going to vote on a couple rules changes July 11. If a coach wins a challenge, they get a second one. And, much bigger, making flopping a technical foul. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hail Sabin Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Bruce Brown to the Pacers over the Lakers & Nuggets was shocking but finding out in that deal he got 3x his career earnings made it make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooklyn gets $110k in cash, the least they could include in the trade. Middleton is going back to the bucks on a 3 yr deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There also hasn't been a true game changing superstar available in free agency in several years. Now they sign big extensions and then demand trades later.

Brian Fowler Posted July 1, 2023 Author Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) Pistons sent out a 2027 2nd round pick to Washington for Monté Morris. Nice little homecoming for him, he's from Michigan. Harris and Morris aren't huge needle movers, but they both are really good three point shooters and the Pistons desperately needed more shooting. They basically ate up all of their cap space on these two trades, but I think it does move them closer to at least the play-in. ------- Unrelated except for Michigan native, but Green's deal is going to pay him about $5 million less than he would have gotten next year by opting in, in exchange for getting long term security. But it's also going to save the Warriors $50 million in luxury tax payments. Edited July 1, 2023 by Brian Fowler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) Dame has finally asked for a trade out of Portland. A couple years too late, but hey.

blitzkrieg Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Feel like Portland trading Dame to Miami would be the ultimate "Thank you for your service" gift because there are going be a lot better offers out there and Dame doesn't have any leverage in the situation.

Brian Fowler Posted July 1, 2023 Author Share Posted July 1, 2023 I really like what the Lakers have done. Improved at the margins like they said, they're deeper than last year, without taking any crazy future destroying risks. I mean, it still all comes down to if LeBron and AD can be healthy together enough of the year, and especially in the post season, for them to have a chance. But I think they're a better team than the one that Denver swept a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
