2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

Gallo fits, but this whole "keep the powder dry" plan loses it's luster when we spend $30 million on Gallinari and Korver combined next season.

I think Gallo only makes sense for us if we trade for him next summer should we lose out on all the primary options.

Why do they do it at that point? If they don't get Kwahi or KD... or both... then they'd absolutely want to keep him. He's available now, in theory, because they think they can sign all the free agents... when those dreams die they just run it back.

I think we are saying the same thing but in different ways.

I don't know if he is available now. If you are the Clippers, why would you trade a guy now when you might not have a guy to replace him? It would be like trading Favors for an expiring. Why would we do that when Favors might be the best thing we can keep this summer? If the Clippers had a record between ours and Phoenix, I could see it being more realistic.

The reason I think it could happen this summer is because I think the Clippers will break the bank to keep Tobias and also lure one other big player (or at least sign them to an offer sheet). At that point, the Clippers would need to trade Gallinari which is where we could be the beneficiary if we strike out elsewhere. If they don't get another, they keep Gallinari.

Wait, the guy who is busting his nut over getting D-Lo is hesitant over Gallinari?

You can't make this **** up.

Wait, so if someone really likes a certain player than that means that they also have to like another certain player?

They have enough space (or can easily get there) to keep Gallo, Tobias' caphold, and sign Kawhi. The reason the move Gallo now is to try to get 2 big free agents... which has been their goal.

The other issue is injury risk... if the guy gets hurt it will be tough to move him... to try and get all that done in a short timeframe is too much work.

So if they are dead *** serious about 2 big free agents they will move Gallo for expiring contracts this season. To us or someone else.
 
We should be looking for market inefficiencies. Many teams are loading up for FA and there are a limited pool of players. So there are a few teams offloading contracts of terrible players and giving draft picks as comp.. to teams that don't want good players. How many teams are wanting to add good players on contracts that extend beyond this year? How many teams have expiring contracts to facilitate deals?

I think that is where we get the most value... good (but maybe flawed or just not all-stars) players on longer deals. I'd try to get at least one... and play with the leftover cap space if you really want to.
 
I wonder what it would take to get Gallo? Does just expiring's get it done? I really like him and think he'd be a great fit but I'm not sure I'd want to include a 1st round pick in order to get him.

Probably expirings but what would be awesome is if they saw Exum as their third Star.

I think straight expirings is close. Maybe Favs and Crowder... or expirings and a second. Outside of Sacramento I can't think of a team that would want good players on longer contracts and would offer salary relief. Favs is a pretty significant upgrade over Gortat for them.

He might see him as a third star... for their G League team.
