I imagine a 3rd team would be looking for an asset to take on Dennis. Slink might be finna ship out one of our 1sts. Already mentioned it in a composite post and no, the exact opposite. The Thunder are looking for someone to send them a shooting guard (they are planning to keep moose and bad salary is okay (to an extent)) and for them to include an asset to pass on. Knicks, Magic, Bulls among possible trade partners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecampster Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 The general consensus among OKC fans is that Dennis is a huge upgrade to their bench and they'd be willing to keep him. One fan suggested they just take Dennis and Baze for Melo and Singler and be done with it. They'd have Baze slide into the starter SG role and Dennis come off the bench as the 25 mpg 6th man. They would see that trade as a big win for them but the hangup is Atlanta wants compensation for taking Melo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're looking for a 2 too (hehe, tutu), ORL is a good match considering they seem to be down on Fournier. To me, sending Baze out in this deal is a little too much of a culture-drain.

Sounds like my Melo trade from a few weeks ago. Melo plus asset for Baze and Moose. Hawks buy out Melo, OKC gets two players that actially fill a need and saves a little luxury tax for OKC.

NBASupes Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 My guess, it's going to be Mosgov or Noah to OKC, Dennis to ORL or NYK and Atlanta takes a protected 1st and Melo Of course Moose to OKC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBASupes Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Bulls make the most sense as a 3rd team. Can save OKC 3 million dollars Get Payne back with Westbrook Fallico and Dennis got the same length on their deals. Thunder would save a lot of money overtime. Backup PG is a massive need for the Bulls. Fallico wont get any PT with Carter Jr and Lopez in front of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does this site love to speculate about Fake News? I am not really feeling this but if the Kings use up a good portion of their cap on Nemanja, the list of teams that can eat at least 2/3s of Melp's contract will be down to none. I really cannot believe the Kings and OKC have not been able to do something, They have two contracts in the perfect range with Koufos and Shumpert, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does this site love to speculate about Fake News? Because that’s what this site and this particular thread is for. To discuss rumors. No one said anything is set in stone ....if you hate to read the comments about a rumor or what others are speculating about you’re free to ignore and not reply to this thread. We have other threads on this site of deals that has already taken place, since you seem to only want to talk about what has already happened. but the truth is you’re all butt hurt about the possibility of losing Dennis. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does this site love to speculate about Fake News? I agree with you leading up to the draft and even after the draft when there wasn't anything other than speculation. This "feels" different though. It's more specific and being cited by multiple people. Doesn't mean a deal will happen, but I'm skeptical that someone has just made up the specifics of this trade and reported it if it was fake news.

Putting him on the floor with Westbrook would in all likelihood be a disaster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Popular Post AHF Posted July 19, 2018 Moderators Popular Post Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 This is a rumor. It is smoke, not fire. We'll see if anything actually happens. (As an aside, on a personal level I wish loaded terms like "Fake News" or "Alternative Facts" or other things that have been so abused as to have lost their plain meaning weren't so commonly used right now. Just obscures the actual conversation.) 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
