Exclusive 2019 Trade Deadline Thread

No, Aminu makes almost $7 million and Prince like $2.5 million. It's not close.

 

Send a pick from us to Detroit. (I'm anticipating them getting rid of Drummond in a subsequent deal).

Who says no?

 

Detroit says no. Portland also doesn't consider it because it would mean a huge increase in luxury tax payments this year.

 

Ya it's nearly impossible to land Blake it seems.

 

I think they signed him expecting to trade him. Obviously didnt expect him to get hurt. I'm guessing they were working on the assumption that a locked in love would bring in more value than an expiring love. That they could showcase him back as Minnesota Kevin love, and get a solid package for him. Versus 20game rental love, or him walking for nothing

 

What's ironic about that is Love would have incredible value right now without an extension. Almost everyone at the time said the extension was stupid and it is true.

I don't know if I could do a better job than Olshey but I guarantee I could do a better job than the Cavs have done since the Finals ended.

 

You could be right. I mean they do have to sell seats and there is no one else on the roster who can. Drummond might be a rebound machine but that does not
exactly get fans excited.

 

I hope someone called Stein Captain Obvious in the comments.

 

I think the key takeaway is the last sentence of that piece.

I doubt they'll be able to find a taker for that THJ contract without giving up assets. I'd jump all over Frankie Smokes. That guy has legit SF size. Unfortunately, we don't have the expiring contracts they'd have been interested in.

 

Have we considered Blake's fit with Nurkic?

Feel like they take away from each other. Would rather continue to allow Nurkic to develop and grow in his role than trade for a guy that we aren't winning anything significant with in all likelihood.

I understand wanting to improve, but I feel any Blake trade has the potential to damage the long term health of the franchise for little immediate gain, and that's far from guaranteed.

 

Give me either one.

Btw since the Melo ship has evidently sailed I think we should start a Courtney Lee thread. Long overdue.

 

I think our best chance of a big trade is next year. We will have 40 million in expiring assets. The key to a combo trade for ET, Harkless, or Meyers will be the cheap draft picks and quality rookie contracts that will be attached to them. Even though many of you think Neil is an idiot, if he can add another enticing draft pick this summer, to go along with Simons, Trent, Collin and our 2020 pick........he should be able to put together a good package for a good player on a bad team who is needing to rebuild. At least that is my hope.

 

Cbssports has an article in which they list each team's most interesting trade chip and most realistic trade chip.

Interesting is CJ for obvious reasons. It mentions a long rumored CJ for Love rumor (ewwwwwww).

Realistic is Maurice Harkless. They say some teams may view his $11 million for next year as manageable. What doesn't make sense is that it says we would want to trade him for a wing. Um CBS, he is a wing.

 

Hardaway sucks IMO. Hes a worse version of CJ. Has all the same struggles (and is maybe even worse in those areas), and is very inefficient.

 

According to “rumors” the Jazz are interested in Porter Jr and Conley.

 

I think Conley would be a perfect fit for them and even though rubio is pretty good, Conleys better.

 

Yeah I would prefer he go east.

 

If Utah were to pull off one of those two and we did nothing? Well, revived the Olshey threads....
