2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

They are just below the tax... just barely.

Ahh I was using hoopshype, I know that’s not the best

If we get Conley, gotta move for Niko. I’m sure multiple teams would offer up second rounders but I’m not sure how we could land him. Give two seconds and Bradley.

What about Salary? How we gonna do anything with Conley's salary?

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Does Conley throw better lobs than Rick?

Don't know, but you can't go under the pick on him... which is a big deal.

I don't know if any of the grizzlies outside of Jaren Jackson can dunk (only kind of kidding).

It sounds like we are trying to keep Favs out of the Conley deal... so maybe we have another trade lined up for Favs, but if not I think Niko is not happening.

I think Conleys offense lowers the need for Niko. Crowder and favors would be fine in that scenario. If he comes cheap then sure. Salary wise it would have to be Thabo Udoh and Bradley.

Nooooo, trading for Conley allows us to KEEP Favors, who is the far better player. Imagine a starting 5 where Jingles is the 5th option. . .

Agree here. Favs/Conley could be a nasty second unit pick and roll duo too.

Though Conley makes Favors easier to keep, you’ve gotta think beyond the next year. And though Conley improves our offense, we still need another option that Mirotic would allow. I think getting Niko mitigates a lot of the risk I’m a Conley trade. We’ll still need another good player and getting Niko could be 3/4 of that.

Which is precisely why we’d need to get Niko now.

Yup, getting his bird rights is the only way to keep him in free agency. If Favors has to be traded, I'm a bit concerned for depth at the C.

A bit concerned? I'd be extremely concerned. If we lose Favors they need a PF/C coming back. I've never been sold on Nico, but does he play C? Can he play C on defense for the Jazz? The Jazz funnel players at the C position.

He can't. I was thinking of one more piece coming via trade or getting someone from waivers. A "bit" was an understatement. We need a big who can run the pick n'roll with Conley besides Rudy. I cringe at the idea of Udoh (if he stays) playing 12min a night
