2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

Detroit got him for a similar deal last year. And I would argue Exum represents a better asset than expiring injured Avery Bradley. The Detroit 1st probably projects to be 5-8 spaces higher, but that's about it.

Remember, Tobias Harris wasn't as big of an asset as he seems now.

Disagree. Tobias was a borderline All Star even when he was in Orlando
 
I wouldn't give up Exum tbh. If you trade for Porter, you are stuck with your team, so giving away talent isnt ideal. Washington, at most, should be looking to get off his contract and get a protected pick back.

Pass on Porter. Too expensive. Too injured.

Crowder is similar to Porter and a lot cheaper and tougher
 
Put me in the "Wall being out will make the Wizards better" camp. The initial returns won't be great though with all their injuries but I wouldn't be shocked if we got to the end of the season and the Wizards end up with a better record from today until the end of the season compared to their record currently.

They shouldn't be blowing anything up anytime soon unless they get a home run offer for Beal or Porter. But it's the Wizards so Ernie Grunfeld will probably trade Porter for a bag of potato chips

They will be better for a little while because I think more guys will be free and play with more joy. But eventually lack of depth and talent will hurt them.

Whhut??

You wouldnt give up an expiring + "change of pace" combo guard for Otto Porter?
 
I'm intrigued by rumors surrounding Dennis Smith Jr. He should be able to hit 3s, get by his defender and get to the rim even if he's not a great ball mover.

I'm intrigued too, issue I see is that Dallas is going to want a lot of veteran talent back for him and I'm not sure the Jazz have a package that makes sense for him.

I'm also iffy on the fit of Smith/Mitchell as both seem like pretty similar players to me, but I'll be the first to admit I haven't watched nearly enough of Smith to have an educated opinion on him.

Im in a group chat with a couple of Dallas fans and they think he is one of the worst players in the NBA.
