2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

[framer]

Did I say Kuzma? Somebody earlier asked me if I would do Grayson and 2 1sts for Kuzma. I said I would. Then people pissed their pants. I don't think we can get him unless we take some contract like Solomon Hill as part of some 3 team deal. Even then, I think Kuzma is the best piece in the NOLA/LA deal not named AD.

I'm saying upgrade PF. That could be Otto, Mirotic, Randle, Kuzma, Bjelica, Saric or a few others.

Nonstop for freaking months!!! Dude, just stahpp. Kuzma is good, but not great, he is the one piece in all the Laker's flotsam and jetsam that the Pelicans would act to keep. Cheering for Davis to go to the Lakers because Kuzma somehow becomes available is a waste of everyone's time.

We could be talking bout the incoming Griffin deal. . .

Most of what everybody says is a waste of time. Stop crying you big crybaby.

I've been talking about Kuzma for about 8 days which is as long as AD's agent has had him on the trade block towards LA.

Yeah but if getting Conley gets us 0% at Tobias that isnt the answer neither is it?

I don't think that either is the definitive answer honestly. Not sure what, or who, the answer for the Jazz is. I just want Lou Williams as a stop gap. I'm the lone soul on the try and trade for Lou Will train. He's cheap and he can create and score.

I'd be on that train, too, but I'm not certain we have anything we can entice LA with.

Now that is something that makes 100% perfect sense.

And if Memphis can get a little further under the luxury with the deal, something with Conley going to Detroit makes more sense.

Although depending on the salary match... adding Gasol's option next year to Charlotte's tax bill with Kemba... Holy hell... Hope MJ moves some sneakers.

I'd buy a ticket on that train.

Yep. Hypothetically, if Kemba signs a max and Gasol picks up his option, that team is way over the luxury for next season although they do have a ton of expirings next year.

I would assume that the deal with Memphis is Gasol for Biyombo, Frank Kaminsky and Charlotte's 2019 1st. That only adds $8 million more if Gasol opts in, but it does keep them out of the luxury if he opts out. With so many teams having cap space this summer, I bet Charlotte could find a way to dump expiring Marvin Williams or MKG to a team needing to spend money.

Why would the Clippers trade Williams?

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Why would the Clippers trade Williams?

I'm fairly sure 90% of the trade makers on our board do not consider this question with any players.

My guess is that package but with Monk instead of the pick. I think they move their pick in another deal this offseason to move money if they need to.
