Potential Trade Targets

IDK if they would even take that. None of that helps them win. If they are blowing it up, sure, but if they want to keep Trae that does nothing for them.
Of course they would do that. Take the Sixers approach of flipping that stuff later if you want to win now. They have their own pick... so if they take a one year step back its not the end of the world.

The other hypothetical offers they'd get would likely require a third party or second move to be a win now move. Lakers for Reaves, Rui, and a first? AR is a ****** fit. The first doesn't help them win. NY Grimes, Fournier, picks (likely protected ones)? Grimes seems like a good fit but he's not changing things.

Quin loves JC... JC, a pick, and Ochai as a "high potential 3 and D wing". There are a bunch of different iterations we could make work. Maybe its KO, THT, pick and its a three teamer with Toronto for Siakham? Raps reunite team Canada.

All I am saying is if the price is reasonable we should be able to get in the middle of it pretty easily... and it would make sense to make a bid... unless the plan is to tank.

Yeah, they wouldnt do it. They probably just arent trading him if those are the packages.
 
They wouldn't. They are going to seek out win now moves before they go for assets they can flip later.
They would because they could rope in a third team or fourth team immediately lol. George, Taylor, filler and 2 firsts is an auto reject? nah

Who? For what? You're just guessing and assuming without actually bringing in what would happen. Teams have to operate in reality when they want to win now.

You don’t think Toronto would take a lesser version of that package for Siakam?
 
Toronto and Atlanta are in completely different spots.

Dude… that’s what HH is saying they could reel in a 3rd team easily. They could send Hendricks, salary filler and a first for Siakam and keep the change (Keyonte and a first) themselves. That’s how outrageous that deal is.

SO they are buildling around Siakim/Trae while still having Jalen Johnson and Capela? Siakim is a leftover rumor. They got Jalen Johnson now. They dont need Siakim.

This is all hypothetical but yes Jake Fischer reported just two days ago that Atlanta is interested and almost dealt for him this summer.
 
Price will determine it all in terms of who would be a better target. I think Lavine is more of a homerun swing because the price could be low and the contract is so big. Lavine should return in the next week or two and I think he'd likely only be able to help his value as it seems his market is "barren" per every rumor monger.

Great post btw. That is good to see with/without Trae.

It would be somewhat of a risk for sure….but if we can get out from under John’s contract that would be nice. I kinda balked at this idea earlier, but JC + their pick of Sexton/JC gets us close ish? They’ve been playing better. We can make up the difference with picks.

Consolidation trades almost never happen, so if you can, I think it’s a great opportunity.
