Spaceman Spiff Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) I like how they waited until pride month was over before trading Howard. That was nice of them. Edited July 6, 2019 by Spaceman Spiff 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's why we think he's good. We should get back on the phone with Memphis and see if they'll do a Mahinmi for Iggy swap too. Throw in one of the seconds we've picked up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillUnknown Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 For the record, i'm not against any of the moves Shepp has made thus far. Its just super annoying seeing people who covered the team for years now remembering that team character is important. Them articles and opinions were ghosts when they could have done some damn good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're going to wait to see if there is interest in him before buying him out. They are wheeling and dealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I'm reasonably familiar with CJ Miles. He's a pure catch and shoot wing. Three point specialist who is good in the corners and from the right free throw line extended. Decent shot from the top of the key from trail position or kick outs. We took on just over 3 million in salary in trading for him, which means we definitely wanted him. I think we got him because of how shaky our perimeter shooting is now outside of Beal, following the losses of Otto, Keef, Green, and Sato. He's a career bench player, but he has a chance to start for us. The primary benefit he brings to the table for us is to try and keep our spacing right on offense. He knows how to move around and drift to open space and he knocks down threes off the catch. Hopefully he can help prevent our young players from crowding each other on the floor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 There was no way Dwight would play again with the Wizards after the scandal that went down. He was one of the worst signings in recent Wizards memory. They signed him to try to address their frontcourt needs yet he barely played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we've been telling everyone who will listen that Beal is unavailable. Which has probably cost us some opportunities. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don’t rush him into making actual intelligent “governor” decisions. Woj said the clippers asked about Beal. This is where not having a settled front office really hurts. No matter what they think of Shepp, they are not letting anyone on an interim tag make a franchise altering move like that, even if the move is ultimately the right call. Beal would not have commanded the same haul because the clips were essentially trading for Kawhi & PG, but they could probably put together a package that would have been incompetent to turn down without assurances from Beal that he was willing ti re-sign 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Clippers are about to be really really good for the next three or four years. So if the picks are 2020 + 2021 pick swap + 2022 + 2023 pick swap, the first of those are going to be late and you probably wouldn't want to exercise the swaps. But if the other picks are 2024 and 2026, then those have a chance to be incredibly valuable. And SGA has a chance to be pretty good in the meantime. Has anyone seen any details as to what picks the Thunder received? Are they all from the Clippers or are some of them from the 76ers? I also wonder if Kawhi would have been happy with Beal or if it had to be George. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 One more thing, that article stated that Presti offered PG AND Westbrook to Toronto for Siakam and the draft haul but Ujiri turned them down. That raises a ton of questions if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
