Exclusive NBA Trade Deadline Thread 2024

Trying to figure out what assets PHX has to deal. What young talent or good picks do they have to offer?

 

Yo, they're talking about taking an absolute dirtbag off of the Hornets hands. They have 5 second round picks three of which are unprotected and our guy Nas is the youngest talent/player on the team.

 

Yeah Nas and SRPs for that piece of work.

 

That's Phoenix full on selling their souls trying to win a chip and I don't think it will work but who knows.

 

Would need to be Nas + min contract guy (Bol?)

And 2 of the Suns seconds are protected 31-55. So really they only have 3 seconds available

I think they would be much better off targeting a defensive PG like Wright, Carter, or Morris

 

Thunder get a good vet backup PG to make a possible title run. Blazers get a young forward prospect. Wiggins has been a very efficient scorer this year, and rebounds, he is a good prospect as a SF.

 

I'm gonna need some picks. They have 35 in the next 7 years.

 

Wiggins is a pretty good return though. Likely better than any pick we'd get from them. Look at his line per 36.

I think it's time to move on from Camara. His offense is just too terrible.

 

This franchise has been begging for dawg defenders for years. We ain’t getting rid of him

 

Weren't Harkless and Aminu "dawg defenders"? We got rid of them. Also giving minutes to guys with a .50 TS% is a nice recipe for losing.

 

I mean they were above average. I’d put Camara at his age and what he’s showing above anything anybody ever thought those 2 could do

 

He's pleasing to the eye because he makes high energy hustle plays. But everyone knew Aminu and Harkless were offensive liabilities, and Camara is worse than either of those 2 at offense. If he can't become more efficient on offense at least, we need to find someone else in the rotation to replace him.

You replace someone shooting 50% (Camara) with someone who shoots 70% (Wiggins), that's affecting your teams net point differenetial substantially, even for a low volume shooter. That's a difference of like 2 points per game.

 

All he needs to do is be able to hit the corner 3 and he’ll be a valuable asset

 

It's time to move on from Camara? It's not even halfway through his rookie year. You don't give up on defenders like that. He can improve his shot.

 

If we can find an improvement yes. We need to be looking for an upgrade. He's a rookie, but he's almost 24.

 

Of course you look for an improvement because I don't think you lock him in as a starter for the foreseeable future quite yet, but he's a rookie who you control the rights to for the next 4 years on a rookie deal. He's no less than Anthony Roberson and I think he has more offensive ability than what we're seeing now.

In this article CBS Sports writer James Herbert names the players who he sees as the most interesting who could be moved. Players 6 and 7 are Jerami and Malcolm. If you read all of Malcolm's blurb the writer also mentions Rob Williams and Deandre. Just his reasoning and speculation not really a rumor of any kind.

 

What about trading Brogdon for a player like Jalen Smith and filler. Young, promising prospect with size. Good defender, can hit the outside shot. Upgrades Indy’s backup PG spot and give them more depth.

 

Kind of depends on if they feel like they’re in win now mode
