Exclusive 2019 Trade Deadline Thread

I don't see any three team deals with MEM-ATL and us that make sense for all three sides. Like MEM would prolly have to take on salary from us to make this work and that defeats the purpose of them trading Parsons in the first place.

 

Just say No to Blake!

He's on fire ......for now. No thanks.

 

That's fine. Wait till the playoffs.

And there are others who feel the same way. Not sure what the whole singling out thing you're doing is but we shouldn't mortgage our future on a piece of crap guy who hasn't been healthy since his rookie year.

 

Piece of crap guy? Why? Cuz he punched out that trainer? Hasn't he been a consummate leader in Detroit?

 

I think Memphis would take back equal salary for Parsons. He's not even with the team right now so getting say Plumlee and Harkless is still better than having nothing from Parsons. They save a couple million or so this year and next year.

Something like...

Memphis gets Harkless and Plumlee

Atlanta gets Parsons and two small contracts from us between Baldwin, Swanigan, Stauskas, Simons, and Trent, plus a future 1st from us

Portland gets Prince and Lin

 

Prince for Aminu and 2nd round pick.

 

Doesn't work under the cap rules.

 

Send Evan Turner and Meyers Leonard to Cleveland sweeten deal with some second round draft picks for Kevin Love. He would add balance to this team and get rid of less productive players on the squad. Help Cavs restructure their roster and payroll to retool. Love has enough good years to fit into a championship windown for this team. Toe injury I think is a ploy just to allow Cleveland to get a good draft pick. Question is would owners want to make this move if they are of the mind to sell the team.

 

So a few months after signing him to that ridiculous extension they are going to want to give him away for nothing?

 

Strictly a cost cutting for Cleveland in a move to spend 28 million next year versus 120 million for Love over the next four years. Are they going to get a 120 million in value from Love when he ends contract at 35 versus trying to rebuild with cap money. They have won only 9 games so far this season and decided to tank very early in the number 1 draft pick in this years draft.

 

Also they would not be the first team to sign a bad contract god knows it never happens in Portland. HaHa

 

But the problem is that Cleveland just gave Love that extension and they think he's worth more than that.

 

Is it really a salary dump if you give them 2 good young players and a #1? He will be making 39 million dollars in the last year of his contract. They should beg us for that deal.

 

The two young players being Simons and Trent? The pick being a late first? Yeah, I’d say it’s a salary dump.

 

Cleveland is still under the impression that it was a good signing. They are still in the delusional state right now.

 

No, the two young players being Simons or Trent...... plus Collins.

 

Griffen v Love.

Both have toxic contracts.
Both are injury prone.
When healthy, Griffen is the superior player.

The only argument in favor of Love is the assumption that the Cavs management is smart enough to dump him for cheap. Given that they just gave him a deranged extension, that seems unlikely. OTOH, Detroit has several players they would want to trade before Griffen and it is doubtful the Blazers could even offer a package that would interest them.

 

I agree that Blake is the superior player, but two additional differences between the two in Love's favor....KL makes 10 mil per season less and he is arguably the the better teammate. Plus he might fit in better next to Nurk.

 

It said on realm trade machine it was successful and maybe trade machine was wrong.

 

His salary stretches for a year longer than Blake's.
