2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

I like Tobias, but there would be so much pressure on him if he got $33+ per year. He is in his 7th season and has never sniffed an All Star appearance. I know Porter isn't much different, but man that is crazy money.

I would rather have Tobias, but I guess I like Porter because he is borderline realistic. Why would Tobias leave LA for us again?

I thought that the Clippers were gonna go hard after Durrant and Kawhi? If that's the case, wouldn't there be a window where another team could call on midnight when FA opens and give Harris a max offer? I think if LA prioritizes elsewhere he'd be stupid not to sign a max deal somewhere else.

This. And if they slide out the playoffs (I think they will fade) he may see the basketball fit as much better.

It’s LA and I get it but they still little brother, and if winning is his biggest priority I think we are as good a fit as any. Watching him tonight I just kept thinking Quin would scheme better for him than Doc does.

Clips may not pony up the full max too.

The difference in salary is not a big deal when you figure you would get Harris without giving up assets.

I don’t think wiz trade op for just expirings at this point.

So everybody is perfectly fine paying Blake Griffin type money to Tobias Harris? Year one of a max deal for him would be $33 million and I'm sure we would have to guarantee at least 4 years or give him player options.

Just making sure...

I'm fine with the Porter experiment because he makes $7+ less than Tobias the next two years. And two years of Porter is a good enough time to give it a go but not mortgage everything past Donovan's rookie deal and Gobert's current deal. After all, Porter makes about what Favors and Thabo make combined but he could emerge as our missing piece.

Absolutely! He's likely the best player we could ever realistically hope to land in free agency.

Man Tobias here would be night and day to Favors/Rubio. Someone who can actually give us 20 pts consistently.

Favors is 19.1pts, 12.6rbs, 2ast, 2.1 blk, 1.3stl per 36 minutes when playing center. Favors is a great player who is very capable of averaging 20-ish points a game... he's just stuck on a team with a top 3 center in the league so he has to play out of position/reduced role.
