2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

The pick protections will matter here... if they are likely to convert to seconds it's a **** trade... if they are legit firsts then it's fair, but they may have been able to do better. First pick they can get is in 2021 and second would be 2023 so its a ways out.

Most people seem to think DAL won the trade easily however I'm not sure. In fact I don't like KP that much and DSJ has tons of upside.. He can make an Oladipo type explosion not long after. Bad long term contracts going to DAL, first round picks going to NYK. Wow

It's definitely too early to give up on DSJ. He just had a triple double this week. The Knicks are going to get a high lottery pick to go with Knox, DSJ and potentially a big-name free agent. They actually appear to have a direction for a change.
 
With the second 1st rounder the trade became more even IMO, considering it seems like Porzingis and Knicks' relationship had been broken for a while and he wanted out. Dallas takes on some risk, but as tough as ACL's are, they are not as menacing injuries as they used to be. They get a bite at a superstar they probably wouldn't otherwise be able to have now that they have Luka and they won't be horrible enough to get high picks in the draft.
 
The way I tend to value a trade is just to see who got the best player in the deal. Usually quality in the NBA is better than quantity. There are some exceptions, sure, but the bigger names your team has will draw more people to your team.

It's like, who would you want to play with? DSJ, Matthews, and Jordan, or the Unicorn?
 
Porzingas never had a team mate that could pass the ball like Doncic ,he's also never had a scorer like Doncic.
I think theres a lot of teams who would give up a couple of 1st round picks for Porzingis if they could have.
