2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

I definitely think the Celtics would be willing to part with Tatum to get AD.

I’d just have a hard time trusting ainge with a wink wink deal... if they go Tatum one of their picks this year and the Memphis pick that’s pretty damn good.
 
Watching Prince against the clips... not really impressive at all. He seems to have no energy and is weirdly disengaged. Not sure if that’s his normal motor or if LA nightlife got him.

He’s only a week or so back from injury and may still be getting back into game shape.
 
One option I've seen suggested for NOLA is just to wait until after the draft lottery and offer AD for the #1 pick.


Sure....I guess you could do that. Then you could also get told to **** yourself when you try and offer 1 year of AD for like 4 years of Zion on a rookie deal and then his RFA extension.

Exactly. It’d have to be an unprotected pick from NY that got lucky.
 
If I were NO. I’d be worried about AD’s value going down if I wait, and as I type this I’m realizing this is true for all teams but Boston since they hope he doesn’t get traded till July due to that rule. Can Boston legally talk trade before July?
 
On Zach Lowe's pod today he said he'd love to see Mirotic on the Jazz. He said when he watches Utah, he thinks "If only Jae Crowder were 10% better. Not even 20% better..." and said if Mirotic/hypothetical-10%-better-Jae was on the Jazz they'd be a really scary team.

lol uh Jae's a defender too ??
 
Have we considered the fact that playing Jae at the 3 might be a better long-term idea anyways? I'd like to see Quin tinker with a lineup with Mitchell/Ingles/Crowder at the 1/2/3

I don't think he has the speed or endurance to consistently play the three.

Only way his value goes down is if he suffers a major injury between now and the offseason. His value only goes up if they wait until the offseason since Boston can, in theory, put together the best package for AD and that'll put pressure on the Lakers as well as other teams to put forward their best offers. Trading him at the deadline and not allowing Boston to enter trade talks without giving up Kyrie (they won't do that) lowers AD's trade value unless someone like Philly comes in big and offers Simmons or something.

If you're AD you'll also know if Kyrie plans to stay or leave by then as well so I think it makes sense for all parties to wait barring injury.
 
The Dunc'd on podcast started their Mock Trade Deadline episodes. You can find the first episode here:

In this one they traded AD to NYK for Porzingis, their 1st round pick 2019(top 1 protected) + stuff

They also traded Mike Conley to the Jazz for Ricky Rubio, Dante Exum, Grayson Allen and 2019 1st round pick(top 4 protected)

Marc Gasol went to Charlotte for protected 1st + taking on MKG and Biyombo

Felt a little rich from us imo... but if you don’t feel Dante has value I guess it’s about right. I’d rather just keep Dante I guess. Also the other offers for Conley weren’t even close to what we offered so it felt like they had us bidding against ourselves. I’d rather not do the deal as constructed.

"multiple league sources expect the agent and star to soon deliver word throughout the league that Davis’ preferred destination is the Lakers and he’ll become a rental player until 2020 with a trade anywhere else."

Before they do they trade with LA, NOLA needs to clear some roster spots. They waive a player then send us:

Mirotic for Thabo, Udoh and 2nd rounders

NOLA waives Udoh and Thabo to open up another roster spot.

We then use an exception to take another one of their small expirings for them to clear another roster spot (DMiller or TFrazier).

NOLA still needs to find a way to clear up 2 roster spots, but they are close after those dealings with us.

The final NOLA/LA trade becomes:

Kuzma, Lonzo, Ingram, Beasley, Zubac, Wagner, 2019 1st, and future protected 1st
for
Anthony Davis

And we can all move the hell on...
