2020 NBA trade deadline discussion

Between Udoh and Bogut I would prefer Udoh because he provides a good defensive look against big/athletic forwards (AD & Giannis). That being said, I don't see the Jazz taking 4 centers into the playoffs, so first we would need to move Davis or Tony.
 
I'm still waiting for the Cleveland Phoenix Kevin Love trade... like it makes way too much sense not to happen. If Cleveland demands a first (they shouldn't) then maybe it doesn't get done. They should just fold and take expirings and seconds to get off of his money long term. Dude gets hurt and they won't be able to move it period. Phoenix won't do better with their cap space and will need to renounce Dario and Baynes to use space anyway.
 
I like where this is headed.

It would be nice to send out Davis in any scenario. Buyout guys or the Udoh/Bogut class would be nice because we could conceivably hold onto TB. I’m fine trading him, but he’s shown enough that it would be nice to keep him around for depth and see if he can address the real issues he has either between now and the playoffs or in coming years. For better or worse, he is practically a rookie, after all.

Bogut might be good in the right matchup... he sets the meanest and most illegal screens that almost never get called and is a good passer... with the bench unit those guys are going to shoot most of the time anyway so that might be all we need from the screen setter.

it’s worth noting that the big stage wouldn’t bother him one bit given his particular experience. Getting someone with his kind of experience that is even worth a roster spot is probably a win if a championship is a serious, realistic proposition.

I want to note that I’m on the record with my distaste for his ignorant political views but it’s not a deal-breaker for me.

Agree... looking at all the cap space the **** teams will have... I don't think it would cost much to dump Davis if need be next year. We should use MLE regardless of Davis/Bradley... teams like Atlanta/Cleveland/NY likely need solid vets and may take Ed's deal for a low value second round pick. If Cleveland dumps Love they have infinity space next year and there just aren't enough young good free agents out there. Might even just dump him by sending out his salary with some cash.

If Whiteside catches Hood's chronic diarrhea germ and is out I bet the Blazers would consider trading for Davis.

I think they’re kinda strapped on options to send out salary for at this point to be able to take back David’ contract.
 
Len is kinda intriguing... Think he might be as good or better than TB at the things TB is good at.

Comparing him to Baynes as a three point shooter... Len 33% on 284 career attempts... Baynes 31% on 214 attempts. One thing with Aron... we should not consider him a three point shooter.

If we can flip Ed and a second for Len I do it.

I'd say that even if Len still fouls as much as TB, he could be better simply by fouling hard... like, intimidating hard. And hard that they have to hit two free throws rather than getting an and 1.

Also, **** the second rounder. Hopefully Atlanta is one of those teams that was "interested" in NWG.

He fouls way less than TB... and he gets his money's worth every time.

I'm going to go ahead and say Len is our most realistic "maybe there is something there or he can catch lightening in a bottle" guy. He has a streaky three point shot... shot 50% one month this year... shot 40% after the AS break last year... which is the same as Baynes. He's a tall human who can still give us the offensive rebounding that TB gives.

Again atlanta has infinity cap space... Ed would cost them $4M of that infinity on a one year deal and is a vet presence. A second would help grease the wheels a bit... we can see how Len does in our system it might be a good fit and we can keep him around if that is the case.
