Trade deadline discussion

Jordan Clarkson and Doke for Ricky Rubio and a 1st. Who says no?

Let’s get an asset, maybe duck the tax next year, and give Joe an old buddy on the bench (while ******** out fewer ****** possessions).
This is basically trading JC for a bag of chips so we can give all the minutes to Butler and Forrest. And I doubt we get a first in such a deal. A couple of second rounders at best
 
If you were the GM right now, what would you do?

I'd sign House to a 2 year minimum deal with the second year as a team option.

I'd call NOP to ask if they'd like to send us a couple second rounders and absorb JC into their trade exception... saving Ryan $30M in tax and salary. Assuming there is no better deal I think I could get that or the Satoransky deal. Either way I want to open up some breathing room.

I'd take one of the second round picks I just got and trade it with Joe Ingles to the Spurs for Thad Young. He becomes the backup small ball 5. The get a second and the salary is basically the same. They won't do better.

I take calls on Mike, Bogey, and make a few calls on Royce. I don't move them unless I get 1.25 on the dollar... but I'd say its a seller's market so something weird might shake loose. The goals being to push the contention window out just a hair, getting assets, or creating more flexibility. I'm likely not getting anything good enough to make a move.

I'm running JB, House, Pashcall out there plenty to see if any are long term keepers.

WILD Scenario....

Basically I'm going to listen to Sacramento, Washington, New Orleans on anything... go ahead and make offers on anyone... lets just see how desperate you get. Likely nothing comes of it but who knows what they might throw out there.
