2020 NBA trade deadline discussion

So I'm just going to go ahead and lobby for Al Horford (even though he is likely unavailable [now]) or Kevin Love.

Yeah, it could get ugly on the backend. But our window is the next two years and I think we should go for it. I'd rather try to figure out a lineup that's too big and have the insurance rather than figure out a lineup that's too small and way too guard heavy.

If you could throw Davis in the deal (which I think you could with Love), you save >$6 million in salary next year (provided Conley would've opted in). That should be enough to keep Clarkson, Royce, and roll into free agency with the full MLE.

Come at me.
I agree, but those two IMO aren’t the answer
 
We need a non-tweener power forward (6'10) who can defend and comes cheap trade-wise. Someone like Noah Vonleh.

Can Vonleh defend? Can rebound like a bawse. Pass decently. He’s shooting abysmally this year from deep (14%) but he’s >30% for his career and always played on crap teams. He might be a good get actually in that he might actually be attainable despite our lack of assets and he offers something we don’t have right now. He’s also just 24 y/o and could make himself into a better player here.

He can defend and rebound. Not much of a passer. For what we'd be willing to trade (Niang, Davis, Goss) I think he'd be a realistic landing as he's on a 1 year contract and the Wolves stink (and they don't play him much, either, as at PF and C they have guys like Towns, Reid, Bates-Diop, Dieng and Covington).

Wow!! I had no clue he was on the wolves.
 
I like Vonleh... he’s a center in today’s game. Mudiay for Vonleh makes sense for both teams once Conley is back.
