2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

Who are the teams who want and have the expendable contracts for Jrue Holiday?

Toronto - but they don't have a pick
Portland - they could use McCollum I guess
Detroit - they would love him
San Antonio - but they lack a good young asset
Charlotte - he fits there
Denver - does NOLA want Millsap and a pick in a later year?
Orlando - would take a 3rd team wanting a bad contract
Phoenix - not going to send their pick
Sacramento - they don't have a pick

None of the other teams make sense because they are either in tank mode or don't have a contract(s) to send back to make it work.

Exum, 2 1st round picks and even Grayson isn't a bad offer.

Exum's contract still seems overpriced and Grayson will likely be out of this league in a couple of years. At least that's how other teams see those two.
 
Rubio and Favors for Mirotic and Holiday. Plus we throw in 2 1sts. This year unprotected and a top 10 protected 1st in 2 years.

If they can flip Rubio and Favs for stuff and involve more teams then they might be inclined.

I think there is a much better chance they deal Holiday this offseason after they've had a chance to reset themselves. We think these things can come together quickly... they generally don't. My guess is they deal with AD/Randle/Niko because they need to... everything else can wait.

Could likely steal Niko for some seconds, but he's hurt... so who knows if he can even get on the court with any regularity.

Yeah, I can't see Exum having any real value on his current deal, maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see it.

If you are a team like NOLA and you're trading AD, you know that you are planning for the long haul. No matter what, you have to spend money on a roster. So you try to find guys who have really high potential and hope they pan out.

Exum is the type guy you take a chance on. If he becomes great, awesome. If he doesn't, you had to spend the money anyway.

Regardless, spending almost $30 million a PG in his prime even though you are concentrating on tanking is just bad business.
 
I like Niko, but right now I would not do Favs for Niko straight up. Favs is healthy and contributing... integrating a guy takes time.

I agree. I would only trade for Niko by himself by using Thabo and some assortment of smaller contracts (Neto, Niang, Bradley).

Thabo, Niang, Bradley and 2nd rounders works for Niko
 
I don't think NOLA goes in the tank, they lose the team to a different city if they are trash for a prolonged stretch. I think they'll try to get some real players, keep their dudes and hope for a 'Denver after Melo' situation.
 
If you can get Niko for Thabo/Udoh and seconds (plus maybe some cash) maybe you do it. But then you also have to commit to putting Favs on the bench as backup center and starting Crowder or Niko (prolly Crowder)...

I think that ship has sailed for now.

Yes and no... like if they "lose the team" what does that mean to the ownership/management? They would likely sell the team (at a huge profit) and another guy would move it. Looks bad for the Bensons, but not their fault and they own the Saints... so maybe they don't care. The team has been bottom 10 in attendance with AD here... gate receipts go down more sure... Benson won't go broke. They'd make a bajillion dollars on the sale.
