His value is lower now after their horrendous season. Remember all that we (and Memphis) offered for OG, and what they actually ended up with? Or Siakam? Things change. The Nets should have absolutely moved Bridges last year and they should absolutely move him now to start their rebuild, even if it means they end up with less.
I’m so confused about Chicago honestly. I have no clue what they’re doing. Do they really want to keep trying to win? I think DeRozan is a free agent.
They confuse themselves. I think they're always trying to win and I heard they had interest in Brogdon last season as well.
I'd love to send them Brogdon and RWIII but are they really running it back? Or does DRR even want to stay there? That team is a mess.
I wouldn't say its that complex it simply happens in the 2023-24 league year or it happens in the 2024-25 league year. It is an aspect for people who like cap details but for general trade ideas and discussions of what players are worth its not that important.
Not certain how realistic these exact components are - but I really like the concept of trading our vets for much worse vets and getting picks - especially the 2025/2026 picks. Kind of shocking that I've never been less interested in adding a pick as high as #3 in a draft - but perhaps we could flip #3 and something up to 2 or 1 and get Sarr.
They seem like a team that should've tried to rebuild for awhile but doesn't want to try doing that. I thought DeRozen had another year but now I don't see it so maybe he is a free agent.
I wouldn't try to get our pick - unless its value in the trade is close to a second rounder. I'd say its more likely than not never conveyed and we just give them the 2nd rounder.
Yeah I always thought this made sense we eat Balls contract and they get Simons or Brogdon or something. But we'd need much more than just our pick back. Now if we get to the trade deadline and Brogdon is still on our team with no good offers out there yes I'd take a Brogdon for our pick back type of deal vs the chance of losing him for nothing. But that is kind of a last resort, and I'd expect we can get that meager offer up to the deadline.
They've been questionable with decisions going back to the Vucevic acquisition, ton of money and picks to give up with no path to contend. Just committing to long term purgatory. I think they have a cheap owner who also gets a ton of revenue from filling that stadium so they might prefer purgatory over losing revenue for a year or two in a rebuild.
No reason? Simmons is a joke. He doesn't play. They get a borderline All-Star without really giving anything up. Rockets supposedly want to start winning. Grant and Brogdon slide in seamlessly into their starting lineup with their young guys.
Yes, the part about him likely fetching a first is complete conjecture by the tweet writer, which I assume is why it's in the second paragraph, after the link and attribution.
I would be surprised if Brogdon fetched a non 2024 first by himself, but who knows. Maybe packaged with something else.
They don't have the tools to get better. They're better off starting over and getting a bunch of assets for Mikael.
