2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

There was a report on another site that Memphis made the proposal. My guess is they're trying like crazy to trade Gasol and haven't found any buyers given his salary.

Sure, like I said, Im guessing Toronto engaged the base talks (PG swap) then Memphis probably made the rejected proposal.
 
I also think Detroit is sending some bad salary in addition to Jackson in any deal. They will be a tax team next year if not. I wonder if they also tried to sneak a Drummond for Gasol swap.

I think we are in pole position... it's up to someone else to knock us off.

Depends on how much we give up for Conley. What assets are we going to have left?

Sounds like we'd have Exum and Favs still... wonder if Washington would swap Exum and Favs for OP? Exum's trade value or lack thereof is tough to peg. Maybe we add a 2021 protected pick?

Doesn't sound like the plan has changed for them, maybe they fail this year and do all the re-tooling in the summer.

I think you are right. I'm still so hesitant on this Conley deal. Really wish we could pull something else off instead.

Let LA get AD, then offer three picks, TB, Exum, Tomic and filler for Holiday and Mirotic.
 
The Jazz have had an offer on the table for what, three or four days? Call them up and tell them you're pulling it tonight if they don't accept it. I'd like this to get done a day or two so we can make other moves before the deadline.

Me too. If he's healthy he's worth it. I would prefer a bigger wing or amazing stretch 4, but we are kinda limited. If we hate this draft then we are likely to move the pick at some point. We can address the need at 4 easier than a hole at the guard/wing playmaker. It helps DM and Rudy compete now... even if that is not something that has a likelihood of success at the highest levels.

Maybe Conley is our Iggy... not the final piece, but gets us closer and another move works.

I think you let them know you are shopping the same assets in other deals... not gonna threaten anybody doe. They may pull the trigger faster if they think OP Jr. is our preferred target or something like that... hard threats are easy to see through.
 
DL, run away from Conley! He is to much risk, for to much money. Wait until the summer if you must and use the money to chase players who either have more upside, or will be cheaper (e.g., Winslow, Brogdon, Bledsoe, Kemba, D'Angelo Russell, Rozier, Dragic, Rubio, Beverly, etc.).
At the very least, don't make a trade until AD gets moved because he might free up a young guard who fits with Mitchell and is not a top highest 10 paid player (I see you Brogdon, Ball, & Heart).
