2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

Alright, so I'm going to call this now. I think the most likely big-ish trade is Favors for Gallinari. If we continue to slide, especially if we continue to really suck on offense (we should, it's just a matter of how much), then the move right in between "stand pat and wait" and "mortgage the entire future and trade for Love" is moving for Gallo. He brings enough offensive punch and spacing that it would help us tremendously now, and he's owed $20M next year so this also serves as a "keep the powder dry for 2020" move, if that's where we're headed. This frees up flexibility for LA for this summer and even allows them more options while keeping Harris. Gallo can't be in their long-term plans, and I know they've previously looked to move his contract, but they are playing well this year. I'd assume West knows this is fool's gold and Favors could be quite serviceable for them this year, too. Get Beverley out of the deal, too.

Watched parts of second half last night... holy **** he’s good what a bargain. He scored at all three levels confidently and doesn’t make mistakes... how’d we end up with Naz and Georges and not him???? I kid but it stinks they played together and we got the worst 2 of the 3.
 
Has anyone looked at the 2020 free agents list, though? I did a few months ago and the only player that really jumped out at me was Anthony Davis.

This team has got to be a whole lot better than this to even begin to appeal to him considering that the Lakers and virtually everyone else is gunning for him hard.

In other words, I don’t think there’s anything to keep the powder dry for. It’s basically this year or bust.

It is, but if we don't feel we can hit hard this summer, or if something comes up where we compromise that, "dry powder" is a reasonable spin because we will repeat it so much that by the time we get to actually looking at the list, it will already be religious dogma to us.

When he is right Gallo provides so much of what the offense lacks. Defense isn’t great but also not Kanteresque.

I need to run the numbers but I believe we could get Gallo and if we found a taker for Exum we could still go for it in free agency.

My first offer would be Exum and Favors for Gallo and Beverley. Not sure if LAC bite on only a $10M reduction next year, but if nobody else bites on Gallo.

Their primary motivation is to get off of the entire contract... Exum is a no go for them.

I have some offload Exum ideas... saving for January... they are really mediocre.
 
If DL could land us Gallo and Beverley for Exum, then that's a win now move plus a win later move, Exum homers be damned.

This would be one of those "bi winning" scenarios Charlie Sheen talked about... winning here and winning there.

Because Morris was drafted, not a free agent.
