2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

[LoPo]

We can use an exception to get Kuzma. We don't have to give up Favors, Rubio, Exum whatever it takes to get Conley.

If we could get Kuzma for an exception and 2 1st round picks, that's an absolute no brainer.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

lmao who is saying Kuzma for two first?

I'll give ya two guesses but you prolly only need one.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I think Kuzma is a bit overrated. He may fit more in the mold of a poor man's Rudy Gay from yesteryear. Plus, here's LaVar's take:

Now I think we should go get him.

On 97.5 they were talking about how adding anybody that would make Ingles the 4th best player on the team would help everyone out immensely. Interesting though imo.

That sums up what we’re missing perfectly. Even joe would play better with less responsibility, he just seems so tired

 

[checkbookdoc]

Would you trade for Wall's contract if it brought back Beal?

Only a rebuilding team would consider this (and only if they could ship Beal off for an awesome pick/young talent on rookie deal). The Wall contract is a millstone that no competing team can deal with.

 

[campaignist]

Kinda wondering if the wait on Conley is an effort to make a 3 way trade to find Ricky a better team to play for, staying loyal even when trading him

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I'd love to have Lonzo on Utah just so I could hear Lavar's takes on the team.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Wiz have to make Porter available now right? I mean Wall out next year means they probably need to bring back Sato or just flat out rebuild. If they sign Tomas to $10-11M they are at the tax with like 4 healthy players... one of which is Ian Mahinmi... They need cheaper pieces or a full on rebuild.

What a fuggin disaster.

Lol, I wouldn’t be surprised if Lonzo was the most hated player on the team thanks daddy Ball.

 

[David Stern]

My vote is for Lonzo go to the Knicks in all of this. That market + that franchise + Lavar = Gold

LaVar vs. Dolan could be a MSG Pay Per View event!

I mean, I think that is probably happening, just not for the reason you think it is.

The Grizzlies are probably trying to find a 3rd team to send Rubio to so they can get more draft assets.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Does that imply that Exum could be in the deal?

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

We can use an exception to get Kuzma. We don't have to give up Favors, Rubio, Exum whatever it takes to get Conley.

If we could get Kuzma for an exception and 2 1st round picks, that's an absolute no brainer.

Agreed, you would have to have no brain to make that trade.

Players I Want (in order): Tobias Harris, Aaron Gordon, Jrue Holiday, Lonzo Ball, Lavine, Dario, Mirotic, Kuzma, OP Jr, Lin...
Players I want who we are likely to get: Zip.

Players I Don't Want: Conley (age, health risk, cost, fit)
Players I don't want who we are likely to get: Conley

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

2 first round picks is what it takes to start the talks on getting an All-Star. You don't trade two 1st for a borderline starter.

Their front office is fractured... and in transition. There’s a chance they eff this up and keep them like they did with Evans last year.

I'd prefer Satoransky over Porter. Im sure DL can find another SF who does nothing outside of 3 and D fairly easily. Especially Porter isn't exactly on the most team-friendily contract right now. But a 6’7” playmaking PG who can create his own shot, play off-ball, and shoot 3‘s at 40% clip? Please find another one for me on the market. Pretty foolish of WAS for keeping Porter over him TBH.
