Nets / Kings (Day 90)

[Jesse]

When AG returns from injury...

Nets Trade:
Aaron Gordon
Derek Lively

Kings Trade
Paolo Banchero
LeBron James
Walter Clayton Jr. [NDL}
Kings 2032 1st
Spurs 2028 2nd

Agreed. Very curious to see AG play next to Justise, and our frontcourt needed a defensive option like Lively to liven us UP.

Thx, SourSkittles

Accept!

A tricky decision overall but we worried about heavy contracts, lack of tag, and lack of financial flexibility as we build around Flagg.

I like Paolo's value and was intrigued by Hoff's use of him as a stretch-5 in Preseason #2. Clayton's a lil' turnover-prone on the farm though it's tough to deny the 51/83/49 splits. LeBron is still LeBron; he's likely available right away but we also wouldn't mind another retirement tour.

Think this will facilitate more confident operations moving forward. Had nightmares about an expensive team that tops out at 44 wins.

Love this for the Kings - I think Gordon will age gracefully with his minuscule turnover rates and fuel a major West run down the stretch. Lively will be fantastic too.


Also - Nets wishing the best to Sim God and his family

Everyone is going to talk about Lively and AG. But this trade…it’s the Xaivian Lee trade. GTFO Walt, it’s X time in Stockton moving forward

Dylan Harper >>> Walter Clayton and you could’ve kept AG…

[Clinton]

Listen, im about to be a dick and a know-it-all; at the end of the day i know nothing but here it is.

1. Lively is more valuable than everything you received in this deal.

2. Jesse is a pressure artist

3. His 2032 isnt valuable

4. Lively is more valuable than everything in this deal.

5. No matter how good Lebron is, you have him until the end of the season and then he is retired for good.

I hear & appreciate the feedback and I'll live and learn. Look forward to getting back on the right track with these decisions. Should've likely taken a deep breath rather than forging ahead but hope to capitalize on some of the previous better moves. I think a large factor could be overrating Paolo's potential and overrating the 'concerns about the tag.'

I can see this being a "rookie mistake." Will talk to everyone soon

[GX.]

Phenomenal outlook kittles, been in this league for 15 seasons and I pump out “rookie” mistakes like it’s my full time job

[GX.]

I will also say i was 100% going to steal lively in FA so your concerns about the tag are warranted

[ashes]

Trade in.
