Exclusive NBA Trade Deadline Thread 2024

It's a shame that the Blazers have zero coverage on The Athletic. What happened to Jason Quick?

 

I'll be shocked if HOU trades any of their promising young players.

 

Shit, I’d take Cam Whitmore. He reminds me of Corey Maggette

 

Why? After drafting young players, they immediately signed vets to play in front of them. It would not be surprising for them to get more vets, especially considering the number of youngins they have.

 

Houston might be the new Toronto, over valuing their players.

 

They sure got plenty of coverage last summer.

 

it's now 10 days till the trade deadline and there seems to be a noticeable absence of Blazer rumors. Hopefully that's a "it's quiet...too quiet" calm before the storm.

Cronin has been active at each of his two trade deadlines trading away CJ, Nance RoCo, Powell, Hart, and Gary Payton while adding Thybulle, Cam Reddish, Kevin Knox, Keon Johnson. That's certainly heavily weighted to outgoing talent (and outgoing salary)

but he also essentially added the picks and maneuvering room to land Grant and Kris Murray

if the Blazers don't make any significant moves what they are doing right now is baffling. Last night, Brogdon and Ant averaged 37 minutes; Scoot had 22 and was seeming benched for the same kind of screw-ups Brogdon and Ant were busy committing. Grant & Thybulle averaged 35 minutes while Camara played less than 3 and Murray + Rupert logged DNP-CD's. Even if trades were imminent that kind of imbalance wouldn't make sense.

 

Fanspo says it is unsuccessful, but it's not taking in to account that each team could build trades that suit themselves, instead of all of the parameters of the deal having to be the same for all teams.

For the Rockets, they trade Tate for Williams. Trade rules state that any outgoing salary up to 7.5 million can match up to 200%. So Tate could bring in 13 million. Williams makes 11.5 Successful deal. Then they swap Oladipo and Landale(17.4) for Brogdon(22.5). Deals between 7.5 and 29 million outgoing can add 7.5 million to them. In this deal, Houston adds 5.1. Successful deal.

For Philly, you can always take in less salary. So they trade out 11.6 for 6.5.

For Portland, I believe I have it correct, we treat it as 2 separate deals. We trade Williams(11.5) for Tate and Oladipo(15.9). We take Landale in to TPE. We trade Tate(6.5) for Covington(11.6) (Tate's 6.5*200%), and trade Brogdon to Houston for nothing, creating a TPE of 22.5 million good until next season.

We get the right to swap our GS pick with Houston for the Brooklyn pick(top 3 protected) this season. And we get their 2025 pick, which would be theirs, OKC's or Brooklyn's.
We get 2 2nds from Philly this season(I know we already have 2. They're still assets that can be flipped or combined with 2nds to move up, etc.), and the right to swap any of our 3 2029 picks(Ours, Bucks, or Celtics) with one of their 2029 picks(theirs or Clippers).

In the end, we move Brogdon and Williams for all expiring deals, 2 2nds, 2 swaps, and a '25 pick.

 

I love reading other forums. Rocket's fans want Reath with Mal and Timelord. Makes me happy for Duop. The same fuckers are misers though. No FRP.

 

Philadelphia 76ers want proven players that can help now, not draft picks. They’re in that championship window. I’m sure they would love Jerami Grant though.

 

I didn't give them draft picks, I was taking a swap from them, and providing them with a decent role player in Tate, while also saving them over 11 million dollars this season.

 

We don't want to help the Warriors. Or the Lakers for that matter.

 

i think we have showcased Malcolm enough now. Let's not risk any injury moving forward and put him on the shelf until he gets traded?

He is worth at least one decent first and multiple seconds. Unless a "good" young front court player who can grow into a future starter is on the market, I'm happy to move Malcolm for just picks.

 

they have won only 5 more games than us. i'm enjoying their fall to the bottom.

 

I like the KJ Martin trade idea someone brought up. Morrison, Martin, 2026 first for Brogdon.

 

And Steph: enough with the shimmy already, you guys suck

 

Shams sounds depressed.
someone should hook him up with a fresh batch of Toradol
