2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

[Handlogten's Heros]

The way Locke is talking I think we are going in the Conley, Porter, maybe Gallo direction... but he keeps saying a deal that may make us worse this year but set us up better in FA. Conley makes us better imo...Gallo and Porter because of injury might make us worse... IDK... seems like something is likely to happen though... normally those guys just shoot stuff down.

Reference to "Good Morning Vietnam" noted.

"I don't really know what that means Sir, but it doesn't sound positive"

Mrotic reeks of unlikeable douche to me. And soft. And probably the type who’d suck in the playoffs.

When Bobby Portis? Punched him and broke his jaw, reports were that most of the Bulls players were behind Portis for doing it

He was good in the playoffs last year.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Are you saying he plays 4 as his main position all the time?

For the Jazz almost exclusively. Only time he played any 3 was when Joe Johnson was still getting minutes

A salty opinionated caustic douche who'd suck for big periods of time.

He was good in the Blazers series and bad against Warriors iirc

 

[David Hume]

I think our available assets plus a pick is enough to get Mirotic and Conley.

I’d really like to see that team.

We traded up in the draft for Mitchell and bought a pick from Denver for Gobert. Those are our two best players so it gets me to thinking: why not try and amass draft picks? I mean our best free agent signings were Okur and Boozer and both were over a decade ago. Straight across trades of active NBA players will likely enhance fit, but ripping someone off is harder to do. But with draft picks, there is always the chance of getting a Malone or Mitchell at 13, a Stockton at 16, or a Gobert at 27.

Or a Grayson at 23.

Parker and Lopez for Rubio and Favors.

Hurts us a little now but should improve us going forward.

They get Rubio as its rumored they like him.

We get a 5 to back up Gobert though Udoh may be better.

We get a legit second scorer we sorely need.

Could make a lot of sense. Except we’d be thin at pg.

Maybe Parker-Dunn for Favors-Rubio and a 1st.

 

[Miggs]

Anomaly.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I like the idea of trying to get Parker, but I'd rather do it after they buy him out and we can get a second year team option... so we have some upside if he plays well.

We could work with Chicago on a bigger buyout price and use our MLE to help cover the difference in buyout price... those bastards love saving money and Jabari could be made financially whole.
