truepg Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 10 hours ago, GDAWG said: I don't get this trade for the Grizzlies player-wise and they are barely getting even value with that 10th pick in return, since Valanciunas is better than Adams, and they don't need Bledsoe. Now I see rumors that Bledsoe will be shipped elsewhere and they're not done with this deal yet, so we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 LeBron, AD and Russ together feels like the revenge of the old guys.

Dynasty Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 LeBron is on the twilight of his career. LA is going to do what they can to get everything out of this before it's over. I'll say it would be nice to see Russ get a ring after Durant abandoned him and got two. Also LOL Kyle Kuzma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rockets wouldn't trade with them because their GM hates Daryl Morey or something. The Sixers were willing to deal.

GDAWG Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 So can someone explain to me why when teams swap picks, it's not announced right away like how the NFL does it? The NBA does this every year in the draft.....Team A and Team B swaps draft picks, but the NBA doesn't make those trades official until the next day. In the NFL, the swapping of picks is immediately announced. The NHL Draft does the NFL route of immediately announcing the trade of draft picks.

Rockstar Matt Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I'm not sure how to feel about this. I don't know if this will work out at all, but as DG pointed out, I like him a lot as a third option. Still don't think it was a great fit, but to be fair, I didn't think the 2020 Lakers were an amazing fit, but they won a championship lol. I will say that I'm definitely getting a Westbrook Lakers jersey. 1000%. He's a local kid, grew up literally a mile or two from me in the same LA neighborhood, during the same time period (he used to play against my high school lmao), went to UCLA and I loved him there, and have always been a big fan of Russ. I don't know if this will work out at all, but he's playing for his hometown team (and favorite team) and I'm excited for it. Would have been cool to see Kobe's reaction to this. He was one of Kobe's favorite, and most respected, players in the current NBA Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish it were more like the NFL, it’s so much easier to follow and keep track of. It seemed like Rece Davis himself had forgotten that a couple of trades had happened (ex: he kept talking about how Jared Butler was going back home to Louisiana, not that long after his pick had been traded to Utah). Which BTW….the Jazz trading out of the 30 pick and STILL getting Butler at 40 in addition to extra assets was brilliant. That could work out to be an absolute steal.

In the NFL, the swapping of picks is immediately announced. The NHL Draft does the NFL route of immediately announcing the trade of draft picks. Short answer ... it's just the way they do things. It wasn't until 1987 or '88 that they started announcing trades at the draft. But, it had to be after each pick in that trade was made. The past 5-6 years or so it's become more like you described with the trades finalized later, usually after free agency started. Which I believe is why it seems like such a mess now, because most teams treat the draft salary cap implications on the new year's budget. That said, the draft needs to be after free agency.

The Six Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 For a team with no draft picks and no future, the Clippers had a pretty good draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash61 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Lebron missed the final last year, so of course he needs to go get another superstar.

Or you know the bucks and Phoenix are an example of why it’s not, or the sixers are the prime example of why it doesn’t work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
