Trey Murphy would be fantastic with scoot. I bet he would probably be a 45% catch-and-shoot three-point shooter. His true shooting percentage last season was was super.
Trey Murphy is exactly the type of player that I would be looking for for the Trail Blazers. Someone like Mikal Bridges was ( I'm not talking about defense so forget that comparison) who is underutilized and looks like he could contribute a lot more if he was given more shots. An efficient small-forward-sized-at-least knock-down-three-point shooter. It's possible that Jerami Grant actually could become that type of player, but it wouldn't hurt to have another one. Edit: I want to murder the other team on offense.
Miami can also send; 2025 unprotected swap (w/ OKC pick changed to 2026) 2027 unprotected swap 2029 unprotected swap 2028 2nd round pick 2029 2nd round pick 2030 2nd round pick If the Blazers can get a 2025 or 2027 1st in a 3 way that swap(s) can be guaranteed. Most likely the Blazers would get the best two pick those years and Miami the worst. If Blazers can't get those 1st in a 3 way then it's possible one of those swaps doesn't happen if Chicago gets the Blazers pick.
Maybe there's a way for the Blazers to trade away the lesser of their own or Miami pick in 2028 or 2030 to acquire a 2025 and 2027 picks. Then do swaps with Miami on those 2025 2027 picks. It doesn't actually cost a 3rd team any picks, it just ensures the Blazers have more chances of higher picks, possibly into the high lottery. Could maybe flip some 2nd rounders to the 3rd team.
They can’t…. The only move is either convincing OKC to take another asset to trade back the pick OR they just accept Miami’s 2026 and we get 2024, 2028 and 2030. If OKC keeps 2025 they can’t trade 2024 or 2026 because of the Stepian rule.
I'm seriously at the point where I'd let Dame just sit out the rest of his career before I'd trade him to Miami. I'm so sick of their media and their fans.
Now why would they do that.... Kristen Peek linked us to Clowney prior to the draft. EDIT: NVM: https://www.nba.com/nets/news/brooklyn-nets-sign-noah-clowney
I'm hoping that Cronin will still take a good deal from Miami if one presents itself. You're talking about cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Dude, their assets are so ass that I don't even care. Jovic is mediocre. Jaquez is a role player at best. Their picks are most likely going to be crap. That's why I'm firmly in the "make him wait" camp. But if we missed out on Miami's deal.... are we really that worse off? We're not talking about adding a Mikal Bridges.
How much would the Nets like to be done with Ben Simmons? Would this work for them and would it work for us? This would happen after the Heat free up their 2024 pick and after the 30th of this month so JJJ is available.
This is what I have been saying.... Miami is lowballing us. I would bet the offer right now is Lowry/Robinson/2 picks.
I just think if you get anything close to fair value for Dame then you make the trade... if we get two quality players and four picks then we'll be good. You can argue that Jovic and Jaquez are quality players, especially for a team in a youth rebuild like ours.
