2020 NBA trade deadline discussion

I actually quite like Kennard. But if Detroit is trading him, maybe they know something about his medicals that are worrisome.

It’s a weird fit for Phoenix but that’s a solid deal for Detroit.
 
We should jump in on the conversation and offer up our two seconds for either Baynes or Wood, then break a pool stick in half, give them each an end, and tell them to make it quick.
 
I've got my eye on the Knicks. They are terrible and they will have a high pick in a weak draft. They need new culture in the worst way and their pick won't improve them much.

Guys I would take from NY:

Julius Randle - sure his defense sucks, but he's a bucket and a rebound when we need one sometimes.

Bobby Portis - high upside, some risk. Improves our front court depth.

Taj Gibson - he is an improvement for bench big depth.

Frank Ntilikina - been high on the kid for a while. He is the perimeter defender we desperately need in addition to O'Neale.

I think we could get the guys above on the cheap. I also think NY might be the type team who really wants Conley due to his impact on culture.

I think we could have whatever we want in that mix for Mike. I’d actually want Bullock and Dotson more than most of those guys. Wing defense and shooting on the cheap.

Portis is a guy I’d buy low on next year if we thought we could fix him... try and get him on a 2-3 year value deal.

We aren’t trading Mike but it’s a fun exercise to consider
 
@Handlogten's Heros Locke today saying the same thing about Covington that you are... that he thinks the idea of the player is actually better than the player. He's also a bit off on some cap stuff, but whatevs.

Good points. I didn't delve into the roster too much, but those guys have value too. I think Dotson probably has a higher price tag due to his bargain deal.

I'd go with Davis and Mudiay for Frank and move on. Then look to add the best big possible in the buyout market.

Utah gets Nerlens Noel
Minny gets Emmanuel Mudiay
OKC gets Keita Bates Diop

Who says no?

Jazz get the backup big they need in exchange for an expendable piece. This deal makes sense for Minny if they strike out in their attempt for D'Lo or other big name PG's. OKC dumps an expiring that they may not want to pay to keep for a young player on a cheap deal with a couple years left and they still have Muscala as a backup C

Allonzo Trier is also someone worth a look. He was a fan favorite in NY last season and has been underused by the terribly managed Knicks. I doubt he resign so if we might be able to get him cheap since Knicks may not wanna lose him for free in the summer.



Not many non-star players in this league could embarrass PJ tucker like this. Could be used as another weapon against them comes playoffs. And a pretty good backup option if we fail to bring back JC in the summer

Look at the numbers, games played, etc and I just don’t think he’s better than Royce... he gets a lot of deflections... two firsts??? They should take that **** all day.

I’d be intrigued by him... I think he has some attitude issues or some **** because that dude should play. He was electric at times... terrible defender but he gets where he wants too.

PHO is all about weirdness. UTA should be proactive to take advantage of them.

Absolutely... if JZ isn’t calling Phoenix and Sacramento every few hours just to check in he should be fired... just cycle through them the Knicks in a loop... at least tie up the phone lines.

Yeah we were frickin terrified by PJ Tucker versus Hou the other night. And this Trier guy is basically like “**** it Tucker bring it on” and went after him all night. And yes, anyone stuck on that Knicks team right now should show some attitude and rightfully so

Noel would be a good backup C, yes. However I'm impressed with Tony Bradley and want him to keep getting minutes. Part of his problems are about playing alongside hideous defenders like Niang. Also Mudiay has been good and should be considered a long term piece especially if Clarkson leaves a few months later. Also Conley's contract expires next season. Then Utah might end up having no rotation PGs on the roster minus Don.

Any rookie that is able to show a little bit in that awful magnifying glass of a **** show is worthy of consideration... it is almost a plus that they aren't playing him. He's like **** yall, yall suck let me do this and they aren't having it.
 
Look how much better Mudiay is for us... everyone on the Knicks/Kings is likely 15-20% better than they are showing.
 
Jumping back on the RoCo thing... I'd rather buy budget version guys at little to no cost instead of the guys with a premium. Christian Wood for example... I think he can give you almost exactly what Jerami Grant would and in fact his per36 numbers are better... Grant is a no brainer to get at least MLE money this offseason... I think many would bristle if you gave that to Wood. I think hed be worth it.

Bjelica gives you the budget version of what Kevin Love does... give me that contract all day.

Need a 3 and D guy that can give you 15 minutes a night... you can get RoCo (shooting 34.6 from 3) for two firsts or Damyean Dotson or Reggie Bullock for a second... I get that they don't have positional size that RoCo does... I'd also consider Shaq Harrison in Chicago (who?) great defender... kind of played point guard. Doesn't shoot it that well, but I think he defends well enough on the wing, rebounds, and does other stuff well.
