This was the only way they could obtain the only first round pick left that wasn't owned by either them or the Pelicans for the next five years...Why the hell does okc want horford

don't let outcomes fool you. Simmons is maybe great on defense, a preternatural passer, but he is a black hole offensively and doesn't appear to be much of a leader.modogg said:because both were injured this year, and the year before they were 4 bounces on 1 lucky shot from making the finals. i also assume the personalities will be interesting in Brooklyn, who will be the "go to" guy when they need a basket?
Hopefully they ask Gallinari first.I was wrong...there maybe another first round pick that the Thunder doesn't already have:
Thunder discussing a trade to send Gallinari to the Mavericks for No. 18 pick
Danilo Gallinari is set to become an unrestricted free agent on Nov. 20, and he's likely to have several suitors for his services. The Hawks have been reported as a "favorite" to land the 32-year-old forward, but the Mavericks seem to be trying to secure the talented Italian through a sign-and-trade. Dallas would send its No. 18 overall pick in Wednesday night's draft in exchange for Gallinari if the deal works out, but nothing is imminent yet.
One mistake down. Several more to go.Moar picks for OKC!!!

The Sixers are trading Al Horford and a first-round and second-round pick to the Thunder for Danny Green, sources tell ESPN.

The Thunder are well aware of the protocol...you don't obtain 83 first round picks without knowing the rules...this is not amateur hour!Hopefully they ask Gallinari first.
So the question now becomes....Just me but I still like the OKC roster enough to think they can still win some games.
Rubio
SGA
Oubre
Horford
Adams
Dort/Bazley
Still think they'll move Oubre and get another first. (More possibly to deal him to move up in the first) Very underrated player on a decent deal.
The NBA may need to come up with a reverse Stepien rule...Ted couldn't stop dealing #1's and the Thunder can't stop trading for them...So the question now becomes....
Whose value is in even WORSE SHAPE than Horford/Adams so that OKC can get that player....plus a 1st attached.
I'll start....
Nic Batum.
And someone's got a gaping hole at center...
i don;t think anybody can match those assets. have a hard time seeing them make 17 draft picks so would love to know who they are aiming to add to their team. Wonder if it is bringing back Harden
Ok, but then why give up a chip like Danny green in this? Seems like they could have gotten a late first from a contender at the deadline which is basically equivalent draft compensation and then not be saddled with this dealThey don't.
This isn't really difficult to figure out what they're doing here.Ok, but then why give up a chip like Danny green in this? Seems like they could have gotten a late first from a contender at the deadline which is basically equivalent draft compensation and then not be saddled with this deal
Now that i think of it, giving Philadelphia a chance to misunderstand Al Horford might have even been more fun than the Fultz tradeOk, but then why give up a chip like Danny green in this?

To me, a 2025 first and a 2020 pick 34 are roughly equivalent in EV to a 2021 pick 25. Of course, the 2025 first has more upside.This isn't really difficult to figure out what they're doing here.
Why settle for ONE 1st (BTW they also got a Top of Round 2 pick...) when you can spin player obtained into additional draft compensation?
LOVE what OKC's doing. And they've most definitely still got a few moveable players.
Yeah I'd say that's a given.i don;t think anybody can match those assets. have a hard time seeing them make 17 draft picks so would love to know who they are aiming to add to their team. Wonder if it is bringing back Harden
Misunderstand the what now?Now that i think of it, giving Philadelphia a chance to misunderstand Al Horford might have even been more fun than the Fultz trade
2025 may be no Embiid and just Ben left on contract i think, right? could be worth something, or hopefully they keep the big guy and some others and can give it as a pick in late 20's.To me, a 2025 first and a 2020 pick 34 are roughly equivalent in EV to a 2021 pick 25.

https://nba.nbcsports.com/2020/11/18/report-bogdan-bogdanovic-didnt-agree-jeopardizing-kings-bucks-trade/My suspicion: This is a masquerade to avoid tampering charges.
Free agency doesn’t open until Friday. It is impermissible for the Kings, let alone the Bucks, to talk new contract with Bogdanovic. The NBA is obviously turning a blind eye to some tampering. But this arrangement went above and beyond the typical early negotiations. It’s a slap in the face to the league’s purported effort to crack down on tampering.
"We've got you for at least your rookie contract mother####er!!!"No one has either wanted to stay in OKC or they spin off players so what’s the team build approach.
Morey has a 5 year deal. I assume doc is the same.2025 may be no Embiid and just Ben left on contract i think, right? could be worth something, or hopefully they keep the big guy and some others and can give it as a pick in late 20's.
Does Morrey and Doc go to 2025 or 2026?
That’s interestingWoj - Houston is trading Trevor Ariza and the No. 16 pick tonight to Detroit for a future first-round pick, sources tell ESPN. The deal gives the Rockets - a hard-capped team -- the freedom to use their mid-level exception in free agency.

Here we go. The future is NOW for the Pistons!

Can't help but laugh.
Haven't looked into it but without looking Horford would most definitely be in my top 7 (and probably contender for my worst given his age and inability to be anything but a center at this stage).
Everytime I watch Theiss and Time Lord this past year, only thought I had was wow did Boston dodge a bullet.
Good for Horford. Jmo if he's a free agent this offseason coming out of Boston, I think he's getting somewhere between 1/3-1/2 the annual salary he is now.
Philly's in a terrible position. Bunch of bloated contracts of frontline players thatve got many years left on deals. I'm sure they can move Embiid or Simmons and get a return. I don't know who or why anyone would touch Horford. I question if anyone would take Tobias off Philly's hands if even they floated him out there as a 'free agent' more or less given future uncertainty of cap. Tobias isn't and never will be a guy you can build around
Just to go back on this, you are suggesting that horford might be the worst contract in the league but okc could only get a 2025 first and a 2nd and had to part with a good trade chip? It’s a good way for them to use their roster, Just not seeing how this is such and amazing move for okc.This isn't really difficult to figure out what they're doing here.

still the stupid old wayDoes the NBA still announce the pick with the team that owned it 6 weeks ago or are they out of the 1900's and announce it with the team that owns the pick now?
Right with you here.This isn't really difficult to figure out what they're doing here.

The Kings and Milwaukee Bucks had hoped to bring Bogdanovic the framework of a sign-and-trade to negotiate a Bodanovic contract with Milwaukee on Friday, but he will move into the marketplace to find an offer sheet or seek out other sign-and-trade scenarios, sources said.
Could Haliburton be in play here now at #2?If it's torn, other leg.
