Get in on Nets & Kings rumors. We take Lopez, get Mclemore.

[chambers]

Woj is reporting potential Nets and Kings deal where the Kings get Williams.

Idea:
Lopez has one season left on his deal and Nets want to unload him.
We take Lopez off Brooklyn's hands and get Mclemore as compensation.
We can waive Lopez or keep him. He will get injured either way.
I think we can absorb Lopez with the trade exception.(edit, maybe not so it's gotta be expirings).

We are getting the two best pieces in this deal (that aren't picks)- and I'd probably give up a few more 2nd rounders for Mclemore and Mcollum.

Brooklyn gets: Bass, Thornton, Derrick Williams
Boston gets: Mclemore, Lopez, Ray Mcollum.
Kings get: Deron Williams, Bradley, $13 million trade exception, Clippers pick.

Might need fillers for salary but after trading Green, Bass and Thornton, and putting Lopez on injury list and waiving Nelson we'd roll out:

Smart/Nelson/Mcollum
Mclemore/Bradley/ Young (would try and move Bradley and go ultra young).
Turner/Wallace
Sully/Olynyk/Crowder
Zeller/wright

or if we didn't sit Lopez and wanted a playoff push with Green:

Smart
Bradley
Green
Sully
Lopez

With

Olynyk
Mclemore
Turner
Mcollum
Young
Zeller
Wright (if we don't flip him).

Essentially getting Mclemore and Mcollum for taking Lopez' large deal back for an extra season.
He'll come off books at the same time as Wallace.
We are likely going to have a few years of development so taking Lopez and sitting him is a non factor- he's a massive expiring contract next season either way.

Ultimate goal would be to get a top 3 pick and get Ikafur or Towns to put with Smart, Mclemore, sully and Olynyk.

Yay or nay?

No because aimed specifically into top3 is too risky so i don't think Ainge go that way
That said he will not trade the "better than ever" Green

Where's the trade exception come in?

[MikeJelly]

Serious Question: Why would Sac town give up Mclemore if they could just get D Will for Collison, Williams and Thompson?

Dont get me wrong, I REALLY want Mclemore and would love to see this deal go down

I think the Kings need it to take Bradley on top of Williams.

Good question-
Because we'd send them Bradley (ready to compete in the playoffs) and the Clippers pick.
Brooklyn also wants Mclemore going to us because they clear Lopez' contract.

Brooklyn might want at least a late first round pick coming back because they are giving up their core (that they don't want). But this deal lets them keep Plumlee who they love(and the Kings want).

Why is aiming for the top 3 risky?
Jeff Green's trade value is at an all time high and he's expiring.
Why would we keep him after trading Rondo?

Okay I see that cause Boogie Cousins and AB are friends. I like this and worst case we use our pick this year to pick up WCS and make him our center.

Smart,Mclemore,Young, Sully, Olynyk, WCS are all 23 and under. Great base to have

TP to you

Brookyln traded us Thornton.  They cannot take him back in a trade by rule.
