Deadline day thread

[polarcat]

Honestly, I'd rather keep Henderson as our SG and just grab a SF instead of Beal or Lamb. Henderson is a solid young piece and will only get better once he has some more weapons around him. Give him a scorer like Quincy Miller, an athletic big like Davis and another season or two of Kemba Walker adjusting to the NBA game, and I think Henderson will be an All-Star dropping 18/7 a game.

oh lord. not this debate again.

Haha....not a debate homie. Just don't want to trade Henderson, that's all.

Wasn't sure where to put this but I had to put it somewhere...since Kaman is on the block, this seemed like a good spot. If someone already posted, please remove.

I guess this means Kaman doesn't want to end up here at the deadline.

i was partially kidding. just trying to stop it before it started. i can def see not trading him, i was just saying what the min i would move him for would be. i think he is a good player when healthy but i just don't see him penned in as a future player here.

Hornets willing to trade a first-round pick in order to get rid of Emeka Okafor

Cavs also linked to Bobcats, but all 30 teams will be turning trade discussions up a notch. At least, once they fill out NCAA brackets

What could we be discussing with the Cavs?

I just read that the Houston pick is lottery protected for the next 2 years and then turns to a 2nd rounder? If that's true then I rescind my previous statement. Almost 8 million is too high for a pick not guaranteed to be in the 1st round.

I'm pretty sure they won't be in the lottery this year, well atleast I hope so, Portland are all over the place, Minnesota lost Rubio and Utah has no backcourt depth.

Spectre corrected that later. Lottery protection is thru 2016, and would become a 2nd in 2017. The pick would be as first, almost certainly.

mags for mek straight up works. not sure what mags value would be next year as a 10mil expiring, but also a playoff contributor. essentially it would be 17 million dollars over two years (2.5 mil next year, 14.5 mil the year after). if i am jordan, that would be worth NO's pick not Minn's pick.

remember, the year after next is the year that all the luxury tax gets doubled. expirings are going to be very very valuable to a lot of owners next year. if we are in a position to trade our expirings AND take back some salaries for the next season, it could be worth plenty of draft picks.

who exactly is in the luxary tax threshold atm, I know LA are as about everyone else does, the knicks might be i'm not sure, Chicago is aswell I think, Spurs I really have no idea about, Atlanta's close but is their anyone else there?
