Predict the Talen Horton-Tucker trade

[Shad]

THT isn't going to get traded. THT is an expiring 11 mill contract. We don't want bad contracts for him and nobody is going to give a first for him so he's going to expire and we'll have 11 mill of crap relief next season

Bring AB back and fish's wife wouldn't be calling coach hard Willy any more. That would be fish's permanent nickname.

I think the "Will Hardy or Hard Willy" was an invite, offering options for watching the press conference. Not sure if @fishonjazz accepted it.

We could try to push for Brogdon/Jones. Would require some incentive though.

With DFS. He’s good but better on a team with a heliocentric player. His role is play defense and shoot open threes. He’s started to lose his fastball imo. I would rather have Tech for the next three years than DFS.

Tech does more things on offense and is a better fit for what we do. He’s a good defender but not on DFS level when he was at his peak. That’s okay cuz we ain’t trying to contend. Someone will pay more in trade for DFS because he fits that mold on a title team. It’s why a straight up deal isn’t likely in the cards. It takes a while to establish “trade value” it really shouldn’t but that’s how it is.

Tech is likely getting a deal at or around the taxpayer MLE imo. It will be a tremendous value and something we can flip later. I’m not really looking to improve on that spot through trade. Eventually you hope Tay Henny moves into his or Collins spot or that Kessler is the starter and Taylor takes the other frontcourt spot.

Long story short… the next 3-4 years of Tech will be better value and better play for us than DFS and DFS likely requires a first unless they want some sort of KO or JC swap that’s just about balancing their roster.

Murray is the only guy I’m truly interested in and I’m almost surely not paying the market price for what he will go for. Dunn gives us enough from that type of role right now. Murray is somewhat unique as a big pg so I’d understand us disrupting what we are doing to trade for him. He may be the second biggest name that is moved and his price could be the highest because of his contract. If his price is low you almost have to. I think the Lakers will come with Reaves and a pick so that might be the floor offer you have to beat.

Murray is fools gold. Why do you think it hasn’t worked in Atlanta

Because Trae is cubic zirconia. Murray is good… he’s not the **** down defender he once was but he’s good and fits well with lots of backcourt iterations.

Like here’s a fools gold element to him if you think he’s a 20/10 guy… I don’t think he has that kind of effect on the game but I think he’s still a mini step below the borderline all stars. He’s a top 10 pg? Maybe lower but he’s in that neighborhood and if he does get a boost from being a pg full time again maybe he takes a step forward. It’s just hard to turn our noses at Murray when Dunn is the starter (I like him but he was out of the league and is on a minimum).

Murray is good, he was never the defender he was made up to be, however. His raw rebounding numbers really inflated his reputation despite them being Drummond rebounds. Still a very good two way player and massive upgrade over Dunn.

He’s overrated radioactive inefficient hot garbage

Jesus Christ, some of these names you guys are mentioning are horrendous. What is Murray going to do for us? Why didn’t the Spurs retain him? Why is it not working in Atlanta? He has Trae and some other pieces…Delon? Like wtf. Are we aiming for a perpetual 46 wins?

Mikal Bridges is a guy in the right age timeline who is a huge piece on any contending type of team…him and Lauri (and arguably Kessler) would be real pieces toward a core…and lead us into the 50+ win potential.
