Potential Trade Targets

I think the Spurs make a lot of sense as a potential THT destination. They have zero playmaking around Wemby.
 
"From people I’ve spoken with, the Hawks are asking for two firsts in return for Murray, who would prefer to join a team with a chance to make an immediate playoff run. So far, no one has met their demands." - Kevin O’Connor from The Ringer
 
Capela only has one more year left on his deal. El oh el if they’re trying to dump that, but never count the teeth of a donated horse.

GSW is sending some of the additional draft compensation to Atlanta. We’ll pick up the balance.
I wouldn't want Capela as we have Kessler and Collins. I think the Warriors could actually use him a bit.

I don't think thats an unreasonable price depending on the contracts or pick protections. I think the Nets are a team that should be looking hard at something there. If its Jordan/Ochai/1st that's been my price for us that makes sense. Sounds like they want more but what they want and what they get are likely two different things. Glad we have Hardy and Collins to provide insight if we want.

these are the decisions that are the hardest to weigh. Everyone is rolling and you hate to disrupt but you do need to swap out good for great where you can.
 
If the Hawks want two firsts for Murray but will take one away if they include Capela something like this would work:

Clarkson/THT/2025 1st for Murray/Capela

THT is expiring and Clarkson’s annual salary goes down almost 10M next year so they would be getting a lot of salary relief. They also don’t own their pick in 2025 so that is the year they likely would want.

I’m with HH though I wouldn’t want Capela… not sure if he could get spun off in a separate deal but I think this deal makes a lot of sense.
 
I'm not against trading for Murray, but it seems as though there is an actual bidding war there and he won't come cheap. If Murray's market is hot and Lavine's is super cold, I'd rather just wait it out for Lavine in the summer. I think they are similar level of players.
 
If THT is moved my guess is its something where we take on a bigger expiring and get a second. I doubt anyone is after THT the player but only takes one team I suppose. I could also see us doing the inverse of that deal where we save a few dollars and in that case maybe someone like THT enough to take on a few extra bucks in salary.

I could also see a reluctant buyout coming if we don't find anything. While he helps our depth if he is super unhappy its the old favor to the agent thing. Would like realize a bit of savings in the buyout.

The THT contract is why you go collect a few seconds... its conceivable to get a guy like Tyus Jones for THT and some seconds if you wanted a small upgrade.
 
My prediction is some sort of Nets/Hawks/3rd team type of deal where Murray ends up with the Nets and DFS or Cam Johnson ends up with the Hawks or a third team if DFS is too old for the Hawks. Add picks and contracts to flavor here and there.

THT to the Spurs for McDermott and a second
