Trade deadline discussion

Royce plays 35+ minutes per night but that doesn't make him untradeable.

That NOLA team is built around Ingram, Zion and Val. When Zion comes back, they aren't sitting Ingram or Zion to play Herb. Maybe they play Herb at the 2, but I guarantee his minutes suffer when Zion comes back.

He is attainable. Do we want to win a title or not? Hell, trade Clarkson if we have to. This Herb kid could be exactly what we need to get over the hump.

Herb only takes 1.5 3's per game. He's not a true floor spacer.

they will keep Jones over Zion. A guy who could play heavy minutes is better than a guy who doesn't play at all, which is the case with Zion right now.

We could get Jones right now if we traded some combination of Clarkson (to a 3rd team), Butler (to NOLA) and a pick to NOLA (probably from the 3rd team).

It would definitely take either one of Clarkson, Bogey or Conley to get Jones. i just don't see it happening.

Bogey is so good offensively and so clutch that you just can't sit him. I Agree about their defense though.

Without a lock down "go to defender", it doesn't matter who we put out there. Royce is a good defender, but he doesn't stop smaller guys who light us up. Conley doesn't either, and there definitely isn't anybody we got off the bench.

We need a great primary defender or at least two high level defenders we can bring off the bench like the Clippers did to us last postseason.

Let's just stop with the "Royce is a good defender" narrative. He is not. He is average. He got his *** eaten tonight.

Seems the better he gets offensively the worse he gets defensively.

He'll go hero mode on offense, then go back on the other end and just relax. From his body language it seems like he basically says, "ok guys, I'll take care of the offense, you guys take care of the defense."
