If we just wanna get rid of Niang, both maker and Josh Jackson will do just that with much better upside given Carroll is way past his prime at this point, and without us having to make the commitment to another two seasons of bad contract.He's not great and is streaky... its hopefully a good upgrade over Niang though... better rebounder, better defender, worse shooter
I don't just want to get rid of Niang. Carroll's contract is really only 2 years... final year is only like $1M guaranteed.If we just wanna get rid of Niang, both maker and Josh Jackson will do just that with much better upside given Carroll is way past his prime at this point, and without us having to make the commitment to another two seasons of bad contract.
We can't re-acquire him in trade... NBA rules don't allow it for a year.Just go and get Crowder back .. Memphis are willing to move him ..
Ed + future 2nd round
Jae wouldn’t be required to shoot as much this time around ...Just defend and rebound , bring his usual hustle

Lol, Carroll is even more unplayable than Ed this year... Given his current age and conditions shown over the course of last two season, it's safe to say that his career of being a good NBA basketball player is pretty much over. but he still have three years left on his contract... I'd rather experiment with Maker or Jackson's expering contract. Low risk high reward versus carroll's high risk low reward
oh, then in the offseason?
He's a free agent so sure... if they want to.
I think we might be able to address the Niang spot with Marvin Williams or another buyout candidate.
It's partly a money deal and he's their only tradeable asset. I think they get Roco and another replacement level center... I think it can work against us, but I'm guessing its less effective against the LA teams.Houston is looking to trade Clint Capela - makes me think they are betting on 5 out the rest of the way, going small with great spacing. Should be interesting to see how that works out for them come playoff time.
We don't need thon for anything more than a defensive specialist. He's not consistent enough on D to warrant more PT, but like 10min a night or less when we need to make some defensive stops. He’s shown in the past that he could do just that, as recent as yesterday against the nuggets in TO. And we don't have a player on this team who can provide switch defense like him. Would you trust to put Niang or Bradley on Jokic when Rudy is out with 6 fouls?Thon sucks... I'd move Ed for any expiring contract doe...

If we had Maker, I’d like to see if Boler calls him Snell again. Of course, I’d also like to hear Boler refer to Thurl as Matt again.I choose Juwan Morgan over all three. Makers rebounding numbers are really bad for a “defensive specialist”. Other than occasionally hitting a few threes he doesn’t excite me...
I’m cool with doing something but that isn’t the something I’d do... honestly Ed is a better option imo.
