2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

Trade Deadline stuff really starts today since all players signed this summer can now be traded.

- So we know about Dennis Smith Jr

- Now Marc Gasol maybe: Marc Stein: One whisper making the rounds: Marc Gasol can become a free agent at season’s and, amid a growing belief around the league that he will indeed exercise that option, Memphis could be moved to explore trading Gasol now rather than face the threat of losing him without compensation

Dsj must have an attitude problem.

I wonder what they get. If you didn’t feel DM was a pg I would think you’d be interested. I’m somewhat intrigued but not sure why they are in such a hurry to offload him.

I think it's fit plus attitude. Dallas must know that DSJ expects to start yet they know he does not fit next to Doncic. If DSJ doesn't get to start, his attitude might hurt the team.

I think Dallas is brilliant to trade him now. They know it doesn't work and want to cut bait early. They gotta build it all offensively around Doncic like we need to build it all offensively around Donovan.

Might be brilliant to move him, but the way they are doing it is short sighted... I think he's a fine fit next to Doncic and could become a pretty damn good player. I think this is Carlisle not getting along with yet another pg.

They don't have much leverage now... They might get lucky and maybe orlando parts with Isaac, but I don't see phoenix, orlando, etc. ponying up a pick unless its lotto protected.

DSJ has some upside... he's got some offball value. If you think DM isn't a pg it might be a fit. DSJ for our top 10 protected pick? Ricky and our pick for Wes and DSJ? Dante/Thabo for DSJ and Wes?

If we got him I'd kinda want to be out of the Dante business. I don't really want him, but I think they way they've played it he will go for a discount and I like getting talent on the cheap.

I just don't think DSJ is the type guy to play off a ball dominant PG like Doncic. His upside is having the ball in his hands and creating. He won't ever get that chance in Dallas now.

To me, DSJ reminds me of a better version of a Reggie Jackson or poor man's Lillard down the road. Great offense, PG lead scorer, average defense. I don't think that fits next to Doncic or Donovan at all.

Orlando is absolutely perfect for DSJ because they have the shooter in Fournier, an all purpose wing Gordon who is better off the ball, a future spot up shooter in Isaac, and a future rim protector in Bamba.

I think something like Vucevic and Ross for Smith Jr and Matthews works for both teams.

Count me intrigued by DSJ. Has a lot of untapped potential.

He might suck... but if you think we need a pg next to DM... he's big and a good spot up 3 pt. shooter. PGs generally don't figure things out until 3rd year. I'm not super duper intrigued, but I'd make a call if I was DL.

Dallas will want something with future value. They have a billion dollars in FA space, so expirings are pretty meh.
