Trade deadline discussion

I’m okay with Covington conditionally. Meaning that if he took over the starting spot and Royce moved to the bench and got around 24 mpg, and if the minutes otherwise would come from Ingles and Gay. If he’s effectively a Royce upgrade and Royce’s minutes are both reduced and cobbled from other older guys, then I think it’s a legitimate move. If Royce maintains the starting spot and keeps playing 30+, I’m really skeptical on that move being worth whatever asset we have to give up.
Sending an asset for Covington is a dog **** move. 0 upside, and we need to be smart with what assets we have left.

I definitely don't see Quin doing that with Royce...only way I could see that happening is if we got a major upgrade, like Grant or Barnes. I really don't think Covington is an upgrade over Royce at this stage of his career anyway.

I believe this goes down to most any move we could make, even if they’re not expiring like Covington. I wouldn’t give a first for him, but maybe a fake first like our pick 3-10 on the OKC one, or two seconds (that we don’t have) or Butler. But in the end it doesn’t matter because Quin’s got his rotation, so we’re organizing deck chairs on the Titanic.

If we are willing to give a first for a player, give it for Collins. Every report is saying that Atlanta just wants a 1st and a starter quality player for Collins.

Bojan and a future 1st for Collins

or

Find a way to manufacture a 1st using other players in other deals.

Collins is a maintain now move while also being an eye for the future move. Guys like him don't sign for us in free agency. Take a risk Ainge.

Jazz want someone who makes a difference to our starting and/or closing lineup. Kenrich Williams probably doesn't quite make it. I think the Jazz want Barnes or Grant. Covington or maybe Josh Richardson would then be a backup plan. I'd take Williams, but I'm not sure he's really our target.
