Two top 5 picks. Thon Maker is eligible.
Hinkie did the job. Wire the money to his account.
Look for Milwaukee to flip Monroe for a guard.

From the other thread:
"Salary cap projection for 2016-17 NBA season: $92 million, per memo sent to league executives." - @JeffZillgitt
That's a lot of money.

That's a lot of money.
im sure everyone is just loving the idea of going to LA to play with D'Angelo "Snitch" Russel and Julius "T-Rex Arms" Randle
Considering the Sixers are in a much better spot then the Lakers at this stage, I don't see why he would hate coming here
It's gonna be funny seeing a weak free agent class have the most amount of available spending money available

I wonder how this is going to affect teams like the Sixers who haven't had to pay anyone in a while. The C's got lucky with their contracts, specifically IT, Crowder and Bradley because they signed those before the gigantic jumps in cap space started.
I think the Kings are also going to have a shit ton of cap space since they have 11 expiring contracts on their roster
Teams are going to be so desperate, i'd just pull a Ted Thompson and do nothing in the FA. Probably the next one too. KD is really the only player who will be worth over 30 mil

how many picks will Ainge have 0_o
I'd rather be in LA than Philly , weather x location wise, I can play with snitch Russel, just won't talk to him about anything secretive
I'd rather be in Boston for a better team
Philly is just, eh, how do you know they won't be right back in tanking mode next season, they might just suck for real

Ainge is going to have an entire team of draft and stash players in Eastern Europe.
Really all second round picks should be draft and stash players because they are way more valuable then other players due to not having to pay them
We'd all rather live in LA, but nobody is going to be happy about going to either team at this stage. The BC hire will help with national perception because it will shut up Stephen A Smith for a while and idiots like him
We will most likely still be terrible next year, but so will the Lakers, and considering the fact the Sixers own a future Lakers pick, I'd say they are in a much better position

Doesn't the Lakers pick the Suns traded become 2 2nd rounders if it is in the Top 3 this year?
The 6ers own another Lakers pick?
The 6ers own another Lakers pick?
next year it's top 3 protected and the year after that it's unprotected
2018 first round draft pick to Orlando
If at least two years after the L.A. Lakers conveyed a 1st round pick to Philadelphia, then the L.A. Lakers' 1st round pick to Orlando protected for selections 1-5 in 2018 and unprotected in 2019; if the L.A. Lakers have not conveyed a 1st round pick to Philadelphia by 2017, then the L.A. Lakers will instead convey their 2017 2nd round pick and 2018 2nd round pick to Orlando [L.A. Lakers-Orlando, 8/10/2012]
This looks like the trade you were referring too
They do. The draft lottery picks is a prime time live event event on ESPN just like the actual draft.
this one showed the actual ping pongs though

It would ruin the long drawn out lottery special they hold. They do post the actual drawing online after the show though.

I regret making the OT thread about the jersey ads.
im sorry, but I have a hard time not baiting soccer fans. It's in my human nature to do so

Ah got it, thanks. These trades with protection are so confusing I never know what's happening. Maybe I should apply for the Nets GM job.
We'll see. Both teams are still years off from competing and it will be dependent on how their young players develop. On the subject of where the players would like to go they will be happy wherever they end up, but Simmons ending up on the Lakers would probably be interesting for him given past events. I would image that there's a higher chance that these kids grew up on the Lakers than the Sixers though.
The Lakers owe 2 first round picks, the sixers are owed 4 first round picks and all the 2ns round picks
Unless people are going to magically want to sign with a shit Lakers team, there's no way in hell the Lakers have a better future then the Sixers. Sure, BC could fuck up, and every single Lakers pick provides a superstar talent, but the odds are heavily favored towards the sixers
Let's ignore this years picks, and let's focus on the fact that we are also have the 2018 Kings (top 10 protected) which in 2019 is unprotected. Considering the State of the kings that a really valuable pick. Also, we have draft pick swap rights with the kings for the next two years. I the Kings fail to win games next year, there's a chance with a big buildup from the previous years that we can get a top 10 pick while improving dramatically
I just looked it up we're owed 10 2nd rounders lol
As I said we'll see. Even drafting a franchise player isn't necessarily enough to make your team competitive and there are other factors at play. Both of these teams are far off especially if they plan on developing the majority of their talent.

Supposedly this is a good hiring.

Unless something starts to stir up in front office I don't see it either. But just to hear that Scott Brooks statement meaning there may be a chance at a new direction.

If you were the TWolves, is there anyone in this league that you would trade KAT for?
