What's new

Wiggins, KAT, Jabari Parker, Bledsoe on the trade block?

Bledsoe is an interesting case. The league is starting to get overwhelmed with so many PG but it seems like the right contender might want Bledsoe. The team with the weakest PG might be the Cavs. Or maybe the Clippers bring him back.

I don't think Wiggins is a lost cause. I think he needs to be moved and it needs to be the right situation.

I know people are going to think I'm nuts, but if the price is, say, a 1st and expirings, I would seriously examine it.

Let's remember what organization he's coming from for a moment. One not known for excellence, cultivating it, or demanding it. That is, until they suddenly hire a coach not known for much besides asking too much of his main guys and not always the best communicator.

I agree.
He is long and athletic. His shot isn’t broken or anything. He’s what, 22 years old or something?
 
I know that the details are still really hard to imagine, but I think the Jazz end up with Parker. Maybe it's because Favors would be such a great addition there. I mean if Milwaukee were to let Parker walk, they would likely spend that money on Favors anyway. They are 2 and a half million over the cap with Jabari's cap hold. So if you drop Jabari by renouncing him you can sign Favors for just over 15 million (they have to pay their draft pick) and you are pretty much done.

Assuming Favors would want to go to the Bucks, and he should, the Bucks could pick up a few pieces off the Jazz bench. I mean those dudes are paying freaking Tony Snell 10.5 million and he isn't as good as Royce O'Neale.

This also assumes that Parker wants to come here. We have a winning team with shots available and the culture isn't an issue. With a Sign and Trade he can get paid without being forced to play for a team like Dallas.

I guess I have never seen a double sign and trade, but then again, there probably hasn't been a market as capped as we will see this year in the NBA, maybe ever. . .

If he doesn't work in Utah he will be impossible to move for 4 years at what he is being paid.
 
LOL... Wiggins would be an amazing piece in Utah.

The wolves have made terrible personnel moves, they've terribly misplayed a very good hand they were dealt...
 
If we moved for Wiggins and it failed, it would ruin the remainder of Ingles and Gobert's primes. Its too big of a gamble. I'm an optimist, but its not worth it.

The one rule I have learned from watching the NBA for years is that you should avoid players that pout like you would avoid last week's sushi. I mean players can be controversial and vociferous and be great (Karl Malone) but with dudes that passive aggressively pout (like AK, DWill, and Kanter) you are going to run into problems down the line. Sometimes that trait is unknowable until it is too late. We know that about Wiggins.

That he's a pouter? I've never heard that used to describe him, and it's not what Butler is critical of him for.

Dude starts a 4/$146,450,000 next year. That is more than 36 million a year on average for 4 years.
