Trade deadline discussion

[Handlogten's Heros]

If the Jazz are sending out CLarkson they at least need to get a late first rounder. I know he's been *** cheeks this year, but it would be wild to just get two late career journeymen and a 2nd rounder for the 6th man of the year.

*Though I guess if it's New Orlean's actual 2nd rounder, and not just a random one they own, it's not terrible*

The deals are likely kind of clunky. Not sure how many extra NO picks are out there and you could likely steal another second in the deal. I think Holiday will have a strong market

Jazz get my boy Watanabe. They get Ibaka too (salary matching reasons). He's probably washed, but maybe he could be effective in the playoffs. I would also include a top 20 protected pick from the Raptors that turns in a lottery protected pick the next year if it doesnt convey.

Raptors get Keon Johnson, the 21st overall pick from this year.

Clippers get Jordan Clarkson. They have one of the worst offenses among playoff teams in the NBA by offensive rating.

*And yes I included Banton, who they arent going to trade. It can be BOnga but ESPN wont let me include him yet*

I really wonder what Clarkson trade value is coming off the best year of his career while in the midst of the worst year of his career.

Let's call Denver and see if they are game.

If you want Yuta this is not the way to go get him.... trade the 6 MOY for a guy who has appeared in 5 games this year?

You could offer a second and I'm fairly sure he's yours. They should give him to us for free for the damn highway robbery they pulled on us for the Cold Matthew trade.

They'd also get a protected 1st rounder and a chance at a healthy Ibaka come playoff time.

Yuta would add a major defensive element to the team. He's underrated currently because of the pre-season injury.

I'm fairly sure that the Raps wouldn't do it with their first... think they are closer to tanking than they are to competing for the playoffs. It likely would not convey if they did do a deal. baka is ded.

You want Yuta then you simply offer Oni and a second... done... He's not a proven guy so I doubt Quin would play him anyway.

The thing that sucks the most is that Jared Butler isnt ready to take the Clarkson minutes yet. If he was, then I think a trade like mine would be perfect.

But they are getting Keon Johnson, and it's a protected first. So they can still miss the playoffs (or narrowly make it) and still keep their pick. And I disagree they are closer to tanking than keeping the pick (unless they make some moves to deal FVV/Siakim/OG). Barnes is already a highly progressed rookie. They arent going to be looking to tank. This gives them a lottery type talent in Johnson without having to give up much of anything besides a first rounder down the line.

And no, I don't think you can just offer a 2nd rounder and get it done. Watanbe's defense is beyond that and he's a RFA next season.

OG is out for the foreseeable future. Siakham is perpetually on the block. They tanked the end of last year. They are a couple games out of the play in tournament. You think Massai cares about maybe winning the 7 or 8 seed?

I don't know what direction they head but I definitely think they are closer to rebuild than a playoff push.

Yeah, I think Massai would like to make the playoffs if he could. They arent going to be bad enough to tank into a top 5 pick. They got Barnes/Siakim/FVV/OG/Trent. They have a ton of talent. I think their focus is on winning with their young core and adding to it if they can (which is what my trade lets them do).

At the end of teh day this trade would probably center around their feelings towards Keon Johnson. This was a guy who many had as a late lottery pick for much of the pre-draft process.
