Exclusive 2019 Trade Deadline Thread

One thing is that both Baldwin and Stauskas both made close to the minimum for their years of service. Getting two Trade Exceptions that you can't combine is basically worthless because there would be very few players after the deadline that would fit into either exception. So it's basically use the bigger one in the next two days or have nothing either way you slice it.

 

I actually think ONE first is more than enough.
I just don't think there's a lot of teams who would offer something better.

Only teams who see themselves as almost-contenders will bother with that HUGE\Insane contract.
Maybe if Boston offered Hayward and Rozier for example, but i don't see Ainge taking such a risky commitment.

I don't see Toronto take the risk because it annihilates their B-plan in case Kawai leaves.
Rockets would have to give up Gordon and the Jazz would have to give up something like Exum and Favors which is pretty good for them.

Detroit are a tough cookie tho, they like where they are now for some reason.

 

I think Yuyuza posted a piece from Bill Simmons rating trade values of players. Can't find it now, but:

Group H: “If You Tell Woj, I’ll Deny It to the Death … but I’m Listening”
29. CJ McCollum

Lillard at #14, in the True franchise player group.

What is all this talk about Saric?
He's their 2nd best player on a 2.5M$\year contract.

It ain't happening unless they really like Collins.

 

Someone should tell Saunders that.

 

He's consistently getting ~20 mpg off the bench. He's so under-utilized.

 

He'd be my #1 target. I'd be willing to take on Dieng contract and give them Curry or a first, as long as we got rid of Turner. I think the team would be even more fun to watch.

 

Not according to their new coach. Since Thibs was fired, Saric's minutes have seen a major reduction.

 

Huh? He's barely playing and producing the least he's ever produced. His new role isn't working out. It's totally plausible that they move him before his value plummets even more.

I'd even give Aminu and a pick for him.

 

As long as he's making pennies their front office won't mind having him.
I think this one is realistic because Collins compliments Towns better.

 

Saric has been in a little shooting slump; new coach probably is more short-term oriented, so he cut minutes.

 

I went back and watched again. Casey holdahl explicitly says, NOT necessarily on the blazers.

 

He's perfect for our pick and roll offense with his passing and shooting ability. Brings a really nice skillset to the PF spot. He's totally wasted in Minny right now.

 

From what someone else said, Bajarnson was referring to something that wasn't on the clip.

 

Pelicans turns down Lakers offer Of Ball, Kuz, Ingram, Zubac, KCP, Hart and 2 first rounder for AD and Solomon Hill. Do we have anything to beat that offer? lol asking for a friend

 

Wow

 

I'd do that in a heartbeat, but I really like Hart.

 

I find it hard to believe given the contract situation. Conley is still under contract for two more seasons after this one, Lowry just one.

 

I like Saric a lot..I might like Layman better though...unless we move some players Thon Maker would probably be easy to pick up with the exception and pick as would Julius Randle who I really think would be a difference maker for us
