    Why would either team do that? It’d put Memphis into the luxury tax while Portland would get a broken player that’s on the verge of retirement.

    I think Memphis would be one of the only good places for Turner's style of play. Portland saves a few bucks and doesn't really lose that much (in my opinion) if Parsons doesn't play.

    I'd pursue Brown or Hayward from Boston. I know Hayward is tight with coach but Tatum will be their starting three for ever.
    Brown can't be real happy in his role.

    I still would like to see Jabari Parker added. The team needs offensive firepower at the forward position. He needs out of the dumpster fire that the Bulls are. New start, new beginning might be just what the doctor ordered. Think of the Bucks version of Jabari. Minus the injuries of course.

    No to that deal. Smith is useless and doesn’t move the needle.

    Would Milwaukee take this at the deadline?

    POR Gets: Malcolm Brogdon, George Hill, Jason Smith, D.J. Wilson
    MIL Gets: C.J. McCollum, Al-Farouq Aminu, Seth Curry

    Considering Brogdon has a cap hold of about $2M-$3M next season, that could be a great 2ay to clear up cap space whe getting a better, bigger two-guard who's a great fit. Aminu is switchable with Giannis and Middleton and provides needed depth at the 4, and Curry could be a solid fit and replacement for Hill.

    Evan and our pick to Sacramento for Koufus. Gets us under the tax and gives us flexibility for the summer since Koufus is an expiring.

    Man, I'm torn. In general, I hate giving up a pick just to dump a bad contract one year sooner. OTOH, how much value does a pick actually have in Olshey's hands?

    Unless we’re talking about the lottery, I think it’s a much better idea to use the pick to dump one of these shit contracts. I don’t care about the luxury tax, it’s not my money, but I do care about opening up the full MLE and getting veterans that can actually help. Acquiring another rookie in the 20s only gives Olshey an excuse to stay longer.

    Find a way to land Kurucs before he has a Jokic-like breakout.
