    And this is why I don't follow you el Pig, you lack basketball knowledge.

    You can't understand that Kawhi, Marc Gasil, Siakim and Lowry made VanVleet
    look much better than he is. VanVleet hasn't done squat since Lowry left
    and the Raptors were running double guard action with Lowry/FVv.....FVv mostly
    as Shooting Guard.

    Meaning Lowry would dribble penetrate and draw the gravity of the defense
    and then kick out to VanVleet.....where VanVleet prospered in breaking down
    a rotating defense. They barely made the playoffs last year with VanVleet.
    Nick Nurse saw that Siakim and Scottie Barnes had better numbers
    initiating the offense the season before. That's why Nurse was replacing
    his @$$ as primary ball handler to start the season last year.

    Duncan Robinson would shine in the Udoka offense. In Miami Herro
    gets the role that Duncan Robinson would shine in as a Rockets in
    Udoka's scheme.

    Per Spotrac, Atlanta and Brooklyn have trade exceptions large enough to absorb KPJ's contract. We could trade him to one of these teams, plus a pick or two and cash, and receive a $15.8 million trade exception that we would have 12 months to use.

    You are thinking we are getting Jimmy Butler?

    You have to take a bad contract back. Some are worse than others
    Gordon Hayward? Fournier? Check out their age and numbers.

    ESPN Granto and Ziegler this morning probably said it best. Rockets
    front office are more than likely trying to get the fans off their backs.

    They know they (Rockets FO) can't trade KPj until the investigation is over.

    Greenleaf last night podcast was suggesting Jordan Clarkson. He signed
    an extension so he can't be traded until 6 months elapses. Jan 3rd or near that.

    Maybe the investigation ends around that time?

    Moving KPj won't be cheap....you and others should understand that.
    Odds are we just waive him and not take back bad money.

    It's the boring season as some of us are just talking. You get over it

    One of the biggest KPJ stans doesn't get to come in here and tell people they lack basketball knowledge. YOU lack basketball knowledge, disappear like you did before.

    How old are you? I really do hope you don't put this much value in likes. It means nothing. Hope all is well in life you or that you are just a young teen.

    I don't, but that was a discussion with your boyfriend.

    I will put both of you on ignore.

    I don't think much of either one of you.

    it cost two SRPs for the Hawks to absorb TyTy + Garuba's $5.7mil. contracts, it'll take the Nets unprotected first round pick for them to absorb KPJ's $15.86mil. this season plus $1mil. next season.
    i don't care Tillman's money, so i'd prefer they attach the pick(s) and take back some serviceable players who can help this season and to be included in future bigger trade(s).

    trade this non-gtd. contract + cash + few 2nd picks to the Wizards for Delon Wright + Gallo or Muscala
    or to the Clippers for Ro.Co. + A.Coffey
    something like that please

    Just because you are homosexual and post accordingly doesn't mean
    you know basketball.

    You wanting KPj off the team so that Sengun gets more touches
    and that excites you means nothing to me.

    You were probably slobbering all over DMo's knob as well.

    You: but Apache I was right, if DMo hadn't hurt his back....he would've
    been Jokic before Jokic. GTFOOH

    I'll put you on ignore. I won't learn anything from you.

    This person is not me; but he understands we will have to take back a
    bad contract or two (smaller bad contracts) to move KPj.



    Mentions: Buddy Hield, Fournier, Duncan Robinson

    Haha, Evan Fournier sure, the Knicks are an option. But technically the courthouse at 110 Centre St is closer to Brooklyn than midtown so don't count out the nets

    Which NYC team will acquire KPJ who just tried to murder a WNBA player in midtown with his bare hands not yet a week ago? Time will tell. Don't rule out a bidding war for this hot commodity though - especially if you're an idiot!

    City scene of the crime means nothing.

    A lot of rumors Knicks trading for Donavon Mitchell. Not sure getting rid
    of Fournier helps or hurts. Would a third team be necessary?

    I still say we have to waive KPj and pick up TJ Warren or Kelly Oubre
    but Heat changing out Duncan Robinson x KPj makes sense.

    Heat would pay KPj this season but only pay a million or so the next year.
    Cheaper than keeping Duncan the duration. And they have Herro, Josh
    Richardson, Jaime Jaquez at SG and Butler, Caleb Martin and Justin Champagne
    at SF. I wouldn't expect Kulbi9 to know things like this....just drapes and flower patterns.

    Champagne needs playing time and rookie Jaquez can ball. They are too talented
    and too crowded.

    We picked up Enis Kanter to waive....nobody brands us anything for that
    Nobody is going to brand a team anything for trading for KPj just to waive him.
    Only if they keep him to play him.
