Exclusive 2019 Trade Deadline Thread

Well yeah except Prince.

 

I said just about every one. I consider the Prince rumor to be part of the Lin rumor as I don't see us giving up a 1st for just Prince.

 

Maybe they want to move Aminu in a different deal.

 

Id hope Blazers target Rabb instead.

 

Im less optimistic we make a deal this year than ever.

 

They have equal contracts, positions, ability... doesnt make sense to get Green to trade Aminu.

 

If you have a separate deal for Aminu, then of course it does. If Aminu nets you something elsewhere.

 

What youd get for Aminu is what youd have to give up for Green. Doesnt make sense to swap them.

 

I agree with a few other posters, only trade(s) we are making, if any, are salary dump trades. I will be shocked if we actually upgrade any talent.

 

Well it's not like Olshey's worried fans are going to take out billboards or hire planes to fly signs if he doesn't.

 

12 days...............

 

id do the Love & Hood deal.
I like Rodney's game and I think the Jazz miss him big time.

 

I still think there was a strategy in acquiring 2 guards and drafting two guards.
What could it be?

 

Okay, the Melo part people aren't going to like but it's such a small part of this so here's my idea. It can be broken into smaller trades or as a big 4 team trade.

Sacramento gets Harkless, Swanigan, and Por 2019 1st (lottery protected)

Atlanta gets Por 2020 2nd (unless it's 56-60) and Miami 2021 2nd (via Sac)

Chicago gets Nik Stauskas and Cash (via Blazers)

Portland gets Taurean Prince, Skal Labissiere, and Carmelo Anthony

We get under the luxury tax line and add two players who are still on their rookie deals for one more year. Melo is to give our bench an offensive PF.

Dame, CJ, Prince, Aminu, Nurk

Turner, Curry, Layman, Melo, Collins

Baldwin, Simons, Trent, Skal, Leonard

We improve a little bit while making the finances better too. I'm not completely in love with it but I think it makes sense from the front office perspective. If Prince ends up being a dependable part of the core (or at least more so than Harkless) then this trade is a big win.

 

Olshey rubs his hand and cackles evilly " F' you Stotts!"

 

I doubt how is his age and contract a hurdle.

This makes no sense to me, for either team, based on their salaries. and who we would need to move to get them.

 

He is almost 25 and in theory, other teams might perceive him to have less upside than a potential first rounder.

And he will be a free agent in 6 months and expecting a much larger deal than a rookie scale deal for a ~24th pick.

I'm comparing Jake's value to our lotto protected first.

 

Jamychal Green <=> Noah Vonleh

You can easily make the case that Vonleh >> Green now.

This would be such a Neil Olshey move.

 

Yeah I guess it depends on the team. On the flip side he is ready to contribute now as opposed to many late 1st round picks. And he is less of risk than many draft picks as he at least has some success in a real NBA game. And if resigned will still have another 5-7 years in his prime.

I get what you are saying though, for some they might prefer the higher risk-reward option.
