Ya OKC just accumulating ridiculous amounts of picks...at some point someone will come available and OKC can throw a million picks at them.

That’s a really good move for the Lakers

Interesting move for OKC. Thought they were trying to cut salary/years.

I imagine they'll use Green initially for some veteran leadership and then try and flip him to a contender for more assets?

Yeah. If they knew they weren't/couldn't resign Schroder, then getting a pick for him and then being able to flip Green for another pick at the deadline, they basically turned a dead asset into 2 picks.

I don't get why teams just keep getting bent over by the Lakers. That's an absolute trash deal for OKC. Green, trash. The 28th pick in this draft, trash. OKC can fuck all the way off with their now 15 first round picks in the next 6 years. And yes I know "they did it for cap space." I guess they feel the NBA is going to expand the roster to 37 here soon

This actually costs them cap space. Green and Schroder make the same amount and both expire after the 20-21 season. But they added the salary for the 28th pick.

I am not saying it is bad, but it doesn't look to be a cap space move.

OKC gets worse and the champions get better. I know it’s not the first instance of this but I’m sick of seeing top teams fleece other teams in the same conference.

Because players and their agents push them. And once you forget it's the Lakers, they are not giving up anything of real substance. Great deal for LAL in any case but they need a 3D SG/SF now.

Too bad they can't franchise tag him. These players forcing where they go is getting old.

Rockets about to get Ariza’d...again

Woah!

Not sure what NO is doing...they must be getting a lot of picks for Jrue

Nice fit for Portland. They’ll be good.

Eric Bledsoe firing up the “I don’t want to be here” tweet machine

Makes more sense now.

this is going to be such a fun off-season

Harden trade coming soon. Do we think Philly or Brooklyn? I’d take Ben Simmons and not look back. Tops Lavert/Dinwiddie/Allen IMO

Ariza got his deal guaranteed with this trade. Extends his streak of stealing money from teams to 3 years.
