Trade deadline discussion

[Miggs]

Glad Quin isn’t trying to develop Butler. We don’t want to see what we have there or increase his trade value.

 

[Miggs]

Well, at least we don’t have a 1st round pick this year.

 

[Miggs]

All we should be looking to do right now is trade any one or more of Ingles, Clarkson and Bogey. And whoever we bring back needs to be a nasty ************.

 

[Ineptimusprime]

So, here we are. This roster is stale and needs some spice. Hopefully trader Danny has some big ideas. I would:

(1) Definitely lock down House on a real contract (he’s a budget version of exactly what we need)
(2) Do the rumored Bogey for Smart deal
(3) Try to turn the assets from the Bogey/Smart deal + Clarkson into PJ Washington or something
(4) let Ingles retire a Jazzman and not burn more assets to get off of his expiring contract;
(5) get ready for further re-tooling in the offseason.

Julius Randle obviously wants to be traded.

Julius for Bogey? He gives us the stretch 4, rebounding and toughness we need, and is probably a better defender than Bogey. He was good last year. He’s also five and a half years younger than Bogey.

Now, he does have four more years left after this year, the last being at 29 million. But I feel like he brings a lot of what we need. Idk. I don’t know what options are really out there for the mediocrity we have.

I really like Julius Randle, but he is a ball handler. He's an offensive #2 type guy. I don't know how ball movement would go with Don and Mike. I have always thought that Don and Randle could be a great combo surrounded by Rudy and 3&D guys.

The following lineup would be nasty but unlikely to put together:

Don
Smart
Fournier
Randle
Rudy

Fournier sucks. But I hear you.

 

[Miggs]

Don
Smart
O’Neale
Randle
Gobert

How is that so far as a starting lineup? Enough shooting?

 

[LoPo]

Fournier sucks. But I hear you.

Fournier and Rudy are close from the French team. He's like a younger Bojan who plays more SG/SF. If we added Randle, we would need a floor spacer like Fournier.

We’d obviously be a lesser team offensively but I think we’d be far better team defensively.

Dude, he sucks.

 

[Miggs]

We’re not talking about some 44% career shooter from 3. Fournier is 38%. And basically brings nothing else to the table. He’s soft, sucks defensively, is a poor to mediocre rebounder and passer.

So, your master plan to take us to the next level is to replace RAPTOR ranked players #11 (Conley), #47 (O'Neal) and #219 (Bogey) with #33 (Smart), #163 (Fournier) and #249 (Randle)? Is your plan to just hope they improve because you want them to? Great coach? What's your thesis for this "nasty" lineup?
