2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

I think we need a bigger PF upgrade than Green. Although I do like Green.

Once we get Conley, we have to have a solution at PF too. We can't rely on free agency or the MLE. That's why we have to trade for Porter, Harris, Bjelica, even Stanley Johnson over just staying put.

We can absolutely rely on MLE and FA for a stretch 4... or stick with Green and Crowder. Bjelica was signed for less than MLE last year and Stanley won't get the MLE this offseason. Green/Crowder/Thabo at the 4 fits fine imo... Udoh backup center... hell maybe Tony Bradley plays a minute or two.
 
Hot take... Green is better than Bjelica... because defense matters too.
 
I'm moving towards more on board with the Conley trade if we get Green too.

Was thinking through matchups and GS came to mind. Conley is good on Steph and will make him work. DM is smaller but has done well on Klay. KD is always a problem, but Green could take a shift there.

With Conley/DM/Ingles creating we don't need much from the 4 other than shooting and defense. I don't think we come close to beating GS... but if you are looking at matchups I'm not sure the small back court hurts us much and if we got a shooting 4 that didn't have us take a huge step backwards... it ain't bad.

Conley offers aren't going to be fantastic.
 
getting conley would be such a shortsighted move imo both from a competitive and financial standpoint. he doesn't move the needle enough to compete with GSW + that's a tiny backcourt, he's injury-prone on the wrong side of 30. doesn't jive with me. a better starting 4 man is the most important piece to obtain.
 
The good news is the Wizards have a tough schedule which will result in losses and will likely make them more open to trading Porter.

GS
Magic (Argh)
Spurs
Cavs (come on, Alec!)
Pacers
Bucks
Hawks (Crud)
Bucks
Trade Deadline

Hoping they only go 3-5 at best. The good news is the three 'easy games' are all away games - Orlando could well beat them - not holding my breath for Cleveland though. Atlanta... who knows (wishful thinking).

Last year was different. Only a few teams had money. Bargain deals were everywhere. People will get overpaid this summer.

If Jazz are going to trade for any player on a 30 mil plus contract he better make Jazz a legit contender

Every year good players slip through the cracks doe. We can get something really useful with MLE if we want.

That's my biggest issue... although if KD leaves GS next year... it's kinda open no? If not then we are a couple years away and Conley likely doesn't help then.

I’m leaning toward Porter w/ Aaron Gordon being my second target.

I just don’t think any of the Bucks, Tobias, Beal, or a couple other names mentioned around here are realistic.
 
We love guys when they’re playing at their peak. Harris is a good example of that now. But I’m not sure how he’d fit with our culture and if his future contract will be worth his value.

Crowder is 28 years old. You’re always hung up on his window for no logical reason.

I just don't think he is the type player who will age well. He doesn't do anything at an elite level and he isn't super athletic to start with. In the next three years, he will take a step back. He might be a great Thabo type player, but I don't think he is a 28 minute per night guy.

I'm not trying to disrespect him, just my thoughts.
