Exclusive NBA Trade Deadline Thread 2024

That pretty much tells me we turned down 3 seconds for RWIII.

I would agree with that valuation.

 

I'd take 3 seconds for him, personally. I don't have much faith in his health at all. I'd say once bitten twice shy, but it's more like 75 times bitten at this point.

That being said, 2 of the 2nds are this year, and we have little use for two MORE 2nds this year, so that could have always been an issue as well.

 

4 seconds this year is useless to us. I'd rather gamble on Williams. 3 seconds is not the difference maker if it doesn't work out.

I'd take a late first.

 

I seriously doubt that any team would be willing to trade a 1st for Timelord. Really seems like his has degenerating cartilage.

 

IDK, but if a team could stash him for a playoff run he's a legit difference maker.

 

Not saying they would, especially right now. I'm just saying it's worth the gamble because even if in the 80% chance it doesn't work out, I am not going to be upset we passed on 3 second rounders.

 

Does a Grizzly need a big contract extension? Sending off Adams in a payroll slash seems like weak stuff.

 

Memphis will be, or at least would have been, well over the tax line next season when Bane's max kicks in. Dumping Adams shaves 12.6M off of next season's payroll

speaking of Memphis...they may be getting close to a full tank mode and could challenge the Blazers for 5th in the lottery...assuming the Blazers don't catch Toronto. Look at the Grizz injury report:

 

fuck memphis and fuck their punk wannabe gangsta.

 

I really like Adams, I would have given up 3 seconds to stash him as a backup center for next year.

 

I would struggle to see the Cavaliers, let alone any team giving up their starting center for a backup guard

 

Especially when he had such a dominant stretch just recently. Also, why do we need RW3, Ayton and Allen on the roster?

 

Sold! No take backsies.

 

green font bud. But this is what it seems people think we can get for him and if we don't get something like this for him... OFF WITH JOES HEAD!!!

 

I just think a FRP from a good team with protections, that's highly likely to convey plus expirings is what should be expected. Hopefully in the 2025 draft but even if it is in this draft nothing will keep us from using it to trade up or trade out and back to a later draft.

 

To me, that is not worth the value of his veteran leadership on this team.

 

I think just about everyone I have seen for the most part is hoping for a pick and an expiring. Haven't seen the majority expecting anything close to this.

 

Okay fair. Just going off of historical context here.
So the expiring is a salary dump and so the only real acquired asset would be a pick.
Again. Not worth the value I think he brings with veteran leadership, in my opinion.
