Trade deadline discussion

Someone like the Thunder going to max out Simons lmao.

Oh you laugh now but in January he is 25/7 on 64% TS... Almost 23 years old... He was probably an MLE type guy before his run... he might be in the 25M per range by time he's done. Prolly made himself 30-70M the last month. He will taper off but Detroit, Orlando, OKC, San Antonio all could put an offer in front of him that would make Portland squeam. My money is on Detroit.

Yeah, I'm not sure how valuable that trade offer is from LA. It's easy to see that it's not enough for a Jerami Grant. THT is an uneven prospect and the 1st rounder could be garbage.

I think the Lakers are the type team desperate enough that they would take on Clarkson who is a willing 6th man who averages 15+ppg off the bench.

They might... maybe Westbrook has helped them learn their lesson. They need guys with off ball value.

I mean, I think the organization knew that, but Lebron somehow didn't and everyone knows he's the dude directly under ownership in the hierarchy.

I'm stoked he pushed them to commit one of the biggest roster blunders I have seen in league history. They are twice as good without Russ and with Hield, and that's not because Hield is amazing.

In any case, maybe Lebron learned what he should know better than anyone else in the world regarding off-ball players.

Report: Celtics 'extremely active' at trade deadline, could create opportunities for youth

The Celtics could be looking to offload some salary while creating more opportunities for their young players.

Marcus Smart ‘linked’ to Dallas Mavericks in trade talks; would a potential deal make sense for Celtics?

The Mavericks have won eight of their last 10 games but may be looking to upgrade their defense in the backcourt.

Boston might go with a youth movement and shed some salary. Doesn't seem like Bojan would be their target for Smart, but maybe. Ingles makes a ton of sense, but I really don't want to trade Ingles.
 
Portland's situation is kinda wild. They really should try and dump Powell's deal or trade CJ if they are keeping Dame... cuz they either let Simons walk or end up in the tax next year if they retain one of RoCo or Nurkic... both guys may look to walk.

Anyway... I'm going to say Norman Powell is salary dumped at the deadline and it will be a surprise.
 
If we could bring say 30M in expiring contracts to Portland for Powell and RoCo plus hand over Butler and a second or two I think that might be good enough. He has a 5 YEAR deal... kinda wild... 5/90 isn't awful but I'd feel nervous about that with Dame/CJ on the books and Simons about to get paid.

Yeah, you could twist my arm into that.

LOL-ing cuz that is hilariously good for the Jazz. But it also saves the Blazers a ******** of cash. And the Lakers get another high-usage player which I'm pretty sure they think they need more of.

Blazers probably want an expiring, but getting out of the luxury without having to burn an asset is pretty big.

I bet they would expect at least a 2nd from us which I think would be fair.

As badly as we all want JC to be moved, I'm honestly not sure the Jazz front office feels the same way. His name hasn't been brought up in a single trade rumor since he's been on the Jazz. Hell, even Bogey has been in more rumors than him.

Not all of us want JC moved. The front office knows they can't attract and keep players here. JC came back to us because he desired to play here with this organization.

And that’s truly very nice but the organization has to decide if it’s serious about winning or not.

Clarkson is a gamble we rode for too long.

You can't win this bogey or ingles. You can't make up for Clarkson's offense. Yes I know he's hot or cold but we live and die by his production. Only Mitchell and Clarkson can create their own offense and get off their own shot. Bogey and ingles are gonna be traded not Clarkson.
