2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

[LoPo]

I was referring to the "we don't get a shot at guys like Russell in FA" comment. I think we'd have a shot if we wanted.

I said that because I believe our approach should be via trade. I don't believe that Russell is going to sign a fair contract with us this summer. He might sign a bloated contract because I think we would have to overpay to get his attention AND have Brooklyn pass on matching. I would rather trade for him now than make that gamble.

I'm not as tied to our first rounder as some seem to be. We need players who can play right now over another project like Bradley or Grayson. And yes, that means I expect us to be in the 20's with our pick.

The only way you get Russell is to max him. The Nets have no one else to pay now and Dinwiddie just signed a team friendly contract.

 

[campaignist]

I feel like there are better options than Russell, play and cost wise.

I agree. And I think that is a terrible idea for us.

If he is available for a trade, we let the market dictate his value in the summer. We can either match, or let him walk.

Rubio, Bradley and some kind of draft compensation for Russell and Crabbe could make sense for both sides. They clear off Crabbe and move on with Dinwiddie.

Rubio, Thabo, Bradley and our lottery protected 2019 1st for Russell and Crabbe

Let’s trade Exum for Fultz.

- Exum gets to go somewhere “away from Quin” and play with his BFF Simmons.
- Exum pimpers can move over to Sixers forums where they can ride Simmons’ and Exum’s nuts 24/7.
- JFC gets a new whipping boy that doesn’t come with a bunch of trolls and homers.
- Jazz effectively shave a year off Exum’s deal by exercising the termination option on Fultz after next year.
- Homey gets to keep us apprised of the Stars’ title hunt.
- Neto can get a confidence boost knowing he’s higher on the depth chart than a former first pick.

76ers want people who can shoot. That and you need help with your Exum hate.

Way too much. The chance that he gets a bloated offer will still be there... that’s what FA is for markets other than LA, Miami and sometimes Boston... overpaying for guys that may get better and be worth big money. Unless you want to play in the MLE and lower market.

You can’t push all in on a guy like Russell... has too many red flags. We may get another project with our first rounder or we may get a Rudy or Kuzma or a Siakam... I’m not opposed to trading our pick for a more certain player but Russell has some significant red flags... injury, maturity, and he just might not be really good.

So... in that Exum draft, had we had the 2nd pick, would we not have taken Jabari?

Absolutely YES right?

Then why not swap Exum for Jabari now? What's the harm?

Justifying sunk cost.

I dont even think its necessarily a point guard problem. Point guards generally dont push you over the hump to win championships anyways. What we need is another dominant scorer who can push us through when we are having trouble scoring. Donavan is great, but he needs a sidekick. Preferably a taller one. We dont have anyone who can help him. Ingles is great, but isnt going to take over a game.

Lets see, do we know of any available players who are big and who are really good at scoring? Can you think of any names that come to mind Thee?

IMO we are better suited not making a trade, letting Rubio and Favors walk, make Mitchell the pg, and sign one of Niko, or Harris.

Your kidding me right? Of all the lamebrain assumptions, OMG!

Fair points.

If the front office did the deal I proposed, I would have faith that they don't have those concerns with maturity, injuries, etc. Having his restricted free agent rights this summer would be huge. I don't think he gets a max that we would have to match.

Well would we have taken Jabari over Exum in the draft, yes or no?

Are you ****ing serious?

This is like saying, five years ago, you would’ve certainly dated girl x over girl y, so why not date girl x now even though we now know she’s dumb/a pita (Jabari’s dumb comments on defense and his lack of effort on d), a gold-digger (he makes a lot of money), and has the body to get fatter (Jabari’s Tongan blood is def coming out).

Yeah girl y has been underwhelming despite having some basic sexiness (Dante’s upside), but maybe she just needs the confidence in herself and a little more time to grow to truly bud into the hotty we know she is, in and out of the bedroom. At half the cost with none of the headache.

If I had any faith in our front office walking away from Rubio and Favors and trusting the unknown, I would agree with you 100%. I just don't believe that happens. I think we end up keeping Rubio or Favors or both.

LOL .. are you being serious right now? How are you comparing choosing NBA players to choosing girls? Who does that????

- JFC gets a new whipping boy that doesn’t come with a bunch of trolls and homers.

I guarantee Fultz has trolls and homers. Even Keith McLeod did.

He had one. He wasn’t so much as a troll, though, just comedic relief. These new trolls are more potent.

Exum for Bjelica.

 

[Jazz]

You have about 250 posts. Literally, have any of them been about anything besides Exum and your hate for Quin (because Exum)? I challenge you to find a single post that’s not about that and I’ll shut up.

I have spoken about other things players ect! But definitely this the most. It's cause I've seen it before. Where a coach ruined a players career. I played in the same team. Same situation as Dante this player was so talented the coach brought him down so much that he gave it away. So I've actually seen it. I just think quin is disgraceful and shouldn't be a coach. I think Grayson might be in trouble as well tbh.
