Exclusive 2019 Trade Deadline Thread

Is there anybody good you actually want...?

 

We’re not losing Ron Artest and Dennis Rodman here.

 

Here is a more likely scenario - we stay as a middle of the pack team for the next 4-5 years and then Dame leaves because we need to rebuild.

 

I know Stotts is a shitty defensive coach. But still, we start Aminu and Harkless every game and still get roasted by a lot of teams.

 

Why would AD leave Dame to play with 36 year old Lebron? He’d have something like a two year window (maybe) to win a ring, and then what? He’s back on a rebuilding team. Sounds fun.

AD is a top 5 player in the league. If you can get him without giving up your best player you do it without hesitating. And if he wants to bounce you flip him somewhere else and reboot.

Or just stand pat and keep getting bounced in the first round.

 

We're 16th in defense.

Much better than 30th.

 

And?

 

Jokic hasn't done shit or won shit in this league.

Saying he's anywhere near as good as AD is delusional.

 

So in the bottom half. .

 

I said I wasn’t gonna get hyped up like last year just to be massively disappointed....it’s not working. Please tell me Rodney Hood isn’t “the move”

 

And were 8th in offense.

Swapping Moe and Chief for Mirotic would hurt our defense more than itd help our offense.

 

Same lol.

 

Oh so teams don’t treat Aminu and Moe like a ball boy that ran on the court?

 

Sacramento was the only team that had cap space and they used it tonight.

There are 3 teams with large enough trade exceptions I guess:

Denver - Gave up picks to clear the tax line last summer so I doubt they'd add Aminu to go back over.

OKC - Is already over $20 million over the tax line. I doubt they'd add that much more just for Aminu.

Charlotte - Is near the tax line and has been looking to dump salary, not add it for Aminu.




Looking a little deeper a couple teams got a trade exception today that could be interesting, LAC and Dallas. Getting a couple 2nd round picks for Aminu and then trading for Mirotic or Saric makes a lot of sense.

 

Who cares what we’re ranked we still have issues scoring against top teams, you know, the teams we’ll be seeing in the playoffs.

 

Just saying. We aren't going to win the title this year. And next year we can dump some of those expiring in lopsided deals... If it's the difference from making a significant move, I wouldn't exactly be against it. Not saying I want to miss the playoffs, but if we can grab a major talent... that's something else. Although I doubt Aminu and Harkless would be part of a needle moving deal.

 

Are there any non-Blazer players you have any respect for?

 

I’m already infuriated picturing Olsheys interview with Brooke after the deadline passes where he hypes up Hood to distract us from the fact that he lost out on Mirotic again.

 

Cheaper...? So his salary won't count that much against our cap.... Only that it will..This literally makes no sense when he makes his salary that we will pay and will continue to be be perennially injured.

It happens every season. It's going to happen this season. IMO that's not worth giving ONE asset away for him.

I'm not sure why you keep trying to make me see it your way.

I can't stand that injury prone piece of shit and would HATE it if he were on my favorite team.

I don't care about any of your arguments for Blake Griffin. You'll never sway me...

 

I'm actually more peeved we lost out on Porter and Morris.
