2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

[Handlogten's Heros]

Tony Jones seemed to indicate that the OP deal would push Royce or Exum into the starting lineup. Mentioned they have interest in Conley... Maybe we done with Ricky either way?

I'm cool no matter what we decide. If Favs/Thabo and a first ain't good enough for Wizards they can kick rocks. Conley my offer would be like expirings only... I feel less good about his contract and them being able to find a good trade partner.

Exactly. If you used Exum to get him, you actually gain cap space for the offseason, too.

I don’t want to trade Exum. He’s shown signs of improvement, and will still get better over the next 2 or so years.

So, play ingles at the 4?

Or move Mitchell to pg, and play Ingles and Porter at the wings.

The issue in the Favors-for-Porter swap is the Jazz would be extremely thin at the 4 at that point, especially if they're sending Thabo as well.

Again, I'd rather have Bjelica. I have no idea what it would take, but I can't imagine it would take as much as it would to get Porter.

There’s some clunkiness there.

A guy I keep coming back to is Marvin Williams... provides a lot of what we’d want at four... not the defensive liability Bjelly is. The contract just doesn’t fit with FA plans.

I think we could just play OP as the starter at 4. It wouldn’t hurt us in many matchups and will help us in some key ones.

After last night I might want to get a guy like Vonleh or Kyle o Quinn to play backup five but could also guard some bigger fours.

DM leveling up has changed some of our needs... when Ricky or Joe are good we are pretty damn good.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Just after last nights game... the places we can get meaningfully better are Niang and Udoh minutes...

Favs doesn’t get ejected and the Udoh thing is solved... Thabo gets healthy and he can take the 10 Niang minutes and do pretty well.

I might only do a deal if it’s a steal at this point. Wait and see what FA brings.

That's fair, but to the bold: history tells us 'very little'. And we can only afford to get someone big in FA by dumping two starters.

I think our flexibility is pretty overrated. I don't envy DL tbh. I don't really know the solution.

I was hoping for the Jae trade last season and wanted Porter as well. This season it's Porter on my wish list.

If Memphis is looking to trade Gasol as well as Conley that ensues rebuild mode. It's going to be interesting to see what Memphis can get for Conley; I'm wondering how eager they are to move on from Conley and Gasol and if they're unrealistic in what they expect in return (I feel like Gasol would garnish more interest among GMs).

Favors was missed when he went out yesterday, no doubt about that.

He definitely was, but udoh isn't usually that bad (to be fair to udoh he had no idea he would be playing and wasn't part of the gameplan going into the game) and if we had Harris or Niko or Griffin or something our starting lineup would improve and we would have different options like going small with the bench. (Or adding a backup center like Nene or chandler or like HH mentioned, vonleh or something)

I think we can get those two starters back though while kicking the tires. I think Ricky would prefer to stay... if he signs something big while we wait a couple days then I likely wouldn't have wanted to keep him at the price he signed for. Favs has a late guarantee date so we are completely in the driver's seat.

I feel ya though. FA isn't our strong suit... to be fair we haven't really tried in a long time and have some appealing things going on.

I think we just be opportunistic... if something pops up at a good price then go for it... if not we good.

It makes me appreciate Neto too... super under-rated in his ability to step in after not playing 10 or so games and be really solid. At the pg position too... he's low key just a cool guy to have.

These guys have always been underrated.

With BJelly not really in the Kings future plans, he should be available at a relatively cheap deal. Couldn’t we get both players, or is there no room for both?
