Exclusive 2019 Trade Deadline Thread

Nope. Today's February 2nd. The deadline is February 7th.

 

Thanks. Asking for a friend.

 

Wouldn’t make much sense right now unless it was just done to replace an outgoing Meyers in a separate deal.

 

Meyers the Right to Swap 1sts, and future 2nds to Milwaukee for Ilyasova and Maker?

 

Oh, you thought Neil was going to do something that made sense? I see how it was confusing....

Giving up Vonleh for cap space.....what a joke.
Signing Meyers, Harkless, Crabbe and Turner to massive money and all at 4 year deals.

None of it makes sense.

 

Rumors and action has been quiet the past couple days.

 

Calm before the storm. Maybe not for Portland....but for teams whose GM is not blindingly enamored with 'his' players.

 

Pick swap won't work with the Bucks because they have weird protection on the 1st they owe Phoenix.

 

There is a thread called unsubstantiated trade rumors, this should go there, ha ha.

 

Is this reverse psychology

Blazers Trade Talk: Top Otto Porter, Aaron Gordon Packages

Blazers Move Trio of Young Forwards in Otto Porter Trade

ESPN NBA Trade Machine

If we’re being honest here, how the Blazers view both Al-Farouq Aminu and Maurice Harkless is going to be a big part of this. But even more important is how the Wizards view the two forwards. Both players have upside and can provide a decent amount on both ends of the floor. This is a pretty solid pull for the Wizards, assuming they like the duo.

Meyers Leonard is a player who hasn’t been all that productive to this point in his career, but the Wizards need depth on the front line and he’d provide that. I also think Leonard going to a less-crowded frontcourt could benefit him in a big way. I like how this would work for both sides, especially if Harkless and Leonard can hit their stride.


Blazers Build Pick-Heavy Trade for Aaron Gordon

ESPN NBA Trade Machine

*Blazers trade two first-round picks (one protected) to Magic

Zach Lowe detailed in the same ESPN storyabove that the Blazers have “put their first-round pick in play” when it comes to possible trades. Not only does it get used here, but the team adds one more first-rounder in a deal that bolsters their outlook both this season and beyond.

Aaron Gordon has the type of upside and playmaking ability to ease the pressure off Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum and Jusuf Nurkic. Their starting five would immediately look scary on paper, and they’d add Terrence Ross as a go-to option off the bench. The big issue with this trade stems from the Magic’s viewpoint of the players coming back.

While the aforementioned Aminu and Harkless offer a decent amount of value, Seth Curry would likely be a rental player, unless Orlando opts to keep him. Evan Turner has been hit-or-miss throughout his career, but can provide scoring off the bench and has flashed upside. Another option for both sides could be to take Ross and one Blazers player out of the deal, along with the protected pick, and work out a smaller package.

"Portland, which is very much a buyer for roster depth at the deadline, could be a factor for Mirotic, and the Rockets have long coveted him as a long-range big man. Both are expected to make a pitch for him."

 

Man, you must have poor vision...

 

Dario Saric has not fit in with Minnesota at all. That’s a guy we should be targeting if we lose out on Mirotic.

Bayless expiring and Saric for Meyers or Moe, Stauskas or Baldwin, and a first?

 

Us actually being mentioned in trade rumours/talks gets me excited but not hopeful.

This so much, Saric last year looked like a potentially great playmaking forward with stretch ability. Playing somewhere he’d be appreciated would get the best out of him and he fits our team perfectly

 

I love how one writer has info on us, and it's now on 40 different sites, and makes you feel like theres definitely action. When in reality, they're all just Ben Gollivering the story.

 

Yup, one guy wrote some stuff now everyone is basically reporting the report heh.

 

So essentially, they are all....by Ben Golliver.

 

Saric in the playoffs last year

10 games
17.2 ppg
7.3 rpg
3.5 APG
1.0 SPG
42% FG
39% 3PT

It was predictable he wouldn’t fit in Thibs system. I don’t know what system their new coach runs but I do know fucking Luol Deng gets minutes over him in crunch time. It’s a joke.

 

I'd absolutely like him here. It may have been rough i MIN but he's much better there this year than the short time he was in Philly.
