Potential Trade Targets

[Handlogten's Heros]

I would do two Minny, top 15 protected. Klay would be great floor spacer. If he would be willing to come off the bench that would work well because I think his injury has hurt him.

He’s a FA ain’t no way I’m doing even one first for him. If you want him then clear space and make an offer in the offseason.

True dat in Klay. For me THT + Ochai plus protected picks for Kuzma. I would want to make a playoff run now and skip this rebuilding phase. So it will not likely happen.

This would hurt Clarkson's minutes and push Simone to the bench so you may have to do another trade if you bring in Kuz.

Do a trade while everyone's values are high or run what you brung and give these guys a chance to see what they can do, tough call.

Wait...Sexton for all the remaining Laker's trade assets, plus removing the 2007 protections and a good player. Man, it would tank our season and maybe future runs but...dang that is tempting...Sexton plus Dunn works extremely well, I don't know if you can easily recreate that dynamic.

Sure that would be tempting but it appears Lakers are not willing to do that for Dejounte and are now looking to acquire either Sexton or Tyus on "the cheap" for lesser salary matching assets. No way Ainge is giving away any of our contributors esp with Lauri ready to "win now."

I think Lakers would do a first for Dejounte... I think the issue is Hawks want that and Reaves.

If the Lakers offered to remove protections on the 2027 pick, gave us their 2030 pick outright and gave us a super swap for 2029 (we can swap with any pick we own Cavs, Minny or our own) then DA should consider it if he believes this run out of Sexton is not really who he is (I mean the 20 games... not the last 6). If we do that then we should just move Lauri too as they clearly don't have plans to be serious in the next few years.

I think you are correct though and this rumor may be old stuff cycling through when teams thought they could get Sexton for the same price as a guy like Tyus... but the Sexton business has been booming and prices are through the roof now. Sorry broke boys.

A Sexton Lakers deal would complete the double down payment theory though... so there is that.

It sounds like Grimes is on the outs with Thibs. JC/Yurt for Fournier/Grimes... I really like that deal for us. Grimes might be better than Tech and Ochai. Opens up some serious cap potential or to essentially run it back with flexibility.

People are going to be pissed when we trade Sexton to the Lakers for a garbage return and realize that THT was the down payment.

It will be like the Clippers trade for George… “don’t think of it as SGA and 4 picks [or whatever it was] for PG, think of it was SGA and 4 picks for PG and Kawhi.” We’ll be saying “don’t think of it as Gabe Vincent for Collin Sexton, think of it as Gabe Vincent AND THT for Sexton!”

Its more an installment sale theory if another deal happens.

I don't think there is much of a chance we trade Sexton. I think if he puts together a full season of his starter output then his trade value would double from whatever it is right now... So even if trade Danny has a notion I think its a "stock" where you let the value run rather than cashing on a big bounce.

Mathurin? Zero chance I’m trading anywhere near 3 firsts for him.

Yeah, I am not saying I would either. I was responding to Old timer's post:

is there a small forward 6'7" or taller who can really shoot the ball that could be had for KO and TNT along with 3 first round picks from the jazz. push all in a go for it. i just dont know what that buys. who could we get if we really tried? please dont say zach lavine. i want a young up and comer who has real potential.

Mathurin and Ingram seemed like two of the best 6'7"+ wings that could bring next level to the team if we wanted to throw 3 picks at someone. I think Brandon Ingram would be worth 2 first round picks and a combo of Ochai and an expiring or two. He is an impressive player. But he doesn't seem driven to win so for that reason, I don't know that I would do it. Mathurin is going to be good, but how good? I don't know. Not 3 first round picks good, but old timer is looking to win, which I like that mentality.

Why would we trade Sexton? We are winning with him. We have him locked up for 3 more years at a really reasonable contract. He fits.

The only reason to trade him would be if we get blown away by offers. We are in a position to get greedy. Ainge gets greedy when he has nothing so he has to be doubly stingy now.

If we had a cheap path to Dejounte Murray AND we got unprotected Laker's 1st round picks then maybe we replace Collin with Dejounte while picking up top assets. I doubt we get more for Sex than we would have to give up for Dejounte, but who knows.

This team is playing really well right now so let's let it cook for a bit until 2000 Charlize Theron begs us to go to Prom with her.
