2020 NBA trade deadline discussion

Kings sound like they folding up shop... I know we don't have a first to trade... kinda. But lets say we send Ed Davis and either TB or Ed Davis and Niang+NWG for Holmes and Bjelica… and we include our first, lotto protected, in the first allowable draft (likely 2024)… if the pick doesn't convey in the 2025 draft then it converts to two seconds. Doesn't prevent us from rebuilding... gives them a real shot at getting a first.

Solves the backup center problem. Upgrades and gives us a shooting front court option too... IDK if I love it because I'm not sure it makes a material difference the next two years.

WCS is a dumbass. Turned down 10 million from Charlotte to play in GSW and lasts half a season. Charlotte dodged a bullet with that one. They don't need another awful contract

I didn't know that... He may not make $10M the rest of his career...
 
Dallas has acquired Willey Cauley Stein from GS. I really hope he plays tomorrow because I think Dallas is a bad matchup for us if they play Porzingis at center, and Gobert always owns WCS's ***.

Watched all of Vonleh's shots this year on the NBA.com stats page. This is not official, but basically every three he takes is wide open. Teams are daring him to shoot. He's made 2 of 14 this season.

hard to hit threes with any consistency when you only shoot one three every other game. Also, last year he played 25 minutes a game, this year only 12 minutes a game. I think that makes a huge difference. Personally though, I’d rather play Niang.

Yep, and the track record of him still being a decent player despite not giving a **** is just as long.

Getting him for (essentially) free is a great move for a team in need of a center.

man, just turned to pels game and saw jerami grant owning ingram... be interesting to see what it would take to get him in the summer

Very interesting, a player option which he'll decline. Unfortunately Millsap is coming off the books, so they can likely afford/extend him.
 
The Jazz would include Mudiah in a trade for Baynes, correct? We would be a little vulnerable if we had a PG injury but I think it would be worth it to have Baynes getting minutes.

Our offer for Baynes would very likely be Davis + two second rounders

Or route Davis to Portland, Skal and Hezonja to Phoenix, and figure out which seconds are going where.

That would be sweet. Portland might want Davis back badly enough that they could aid us in selling Phoenix on the deal. If Portland was down to just take Davis back, Phoenix might be sold on two young players and two picks

Portland will likely cut salary in any move they make... if we can get a second for Mudiay we could route that Phoenixs way. Unfortunately they won a big game tonight and are right in the thick of the jog for the #8 seed.
Baynes is also ded right now. I honestly am not sure exactly how much he helps us against the clips mavs and rockets. Will likely help against the Lakers with Dwight.

when everyone was going crazy for him he was shooting like 50% from three... the shooting has fallen off a cliff. I’m probably wrong but I’d rather roll the dice and get Vonleh. The cost has to be low to get him... I think he has a better body type to help on LBJ, AD, and the backup center for the other west contenders.
 
I always hear people talking about how great Robert Covington is and how he’s an amazing fit and so valuable... then I watch him play and I’m thoroughly unimpressed. For every good thing he does I swear he does 3 bad things... gambles, gets blown by, or shoots a terrible shot. Don’t get me wrong I’d take him on our team but I feel like his trade value is way more than it should be.

weird place to put this rant but if I was Minny I’d cash out that chip.
 
A few teams interested in Trevor Booker ..

I always liked Trevor , not the smartest player going around , but when the team is down and lacking energy , Trevor sure can light a spark and help out in a 5-10 min span .
