2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

I know a lot of people are against a player like LaVine but... I was reading an article on da Windy City and they were proposing trades to teams such as the nets for carrol and a first or Portland for garbage and a first. If Pistons win the Conley chase and Portland scoops up Mirotic with their first does anyone think the jazz would even consider offering for LaVine? The bulls are interested in Rubio already...
Rubio, Allen, and a first for LaVine and start DM at the 1.

No. Hell no.

And that offer for LaVine is turrrrible.
 
agreeing with others, Saric is at worst better than someone like Niang taking up roster pace. Is he the PF of the future? Maybe not, but he's playing with zero confidence rn and he'd be a perfect fit in Quin's system. Spaces floor, shot-creator, smart player.
 
I mean it seems kind of clear that LA ISN'T happening, they really can't offer any more. And AD doesn't want Boston. So where does that leave us? If I had to bet, I'd say the Knicks. They can give all kinds of picks and a few promising youngsters. Why would NO want last year's Lakers? I'd take the uncertainty behind door number 2.
A lot of the stuff you are hearing is smoke and mirrors. He's going to Boston or LA.

Id be for Saric

NOLA is going to squeeze a little more out of LA then make the deal before the deadline.

If this summer AD comes out and personally denies a Boston future, LA will get AD for much less than what they are paying now.

It is in our best interest that NOLA trades AD to LA before the deadline. If LA gets him cheap this summer, LA has a better chance to turn into a super power. AD and LeBron scare me a lot less than AD, LeBron, Kuzma and draft picks and another star.

I don't believe AD wouldnt want to go to Boston. I think a lot of the people advising him don't want him in Boston. Ainge will give them Tatum and pieces and try to convince AD to stay.
 
people keep bringing up allen, but i'd be very surprised if DL involves him in any trade unless it is for a superstar (not conley). low-cost rookie who's been injured/g-leagued/DNP'd and played very little minutes in only about 1/2 the games so far despite showing summerleague/preseason promise for a coach who's offensive and defensive schemes take time to learn/get comfortable with. his defense is much improved and offense will return to form w/ more minutes/reps and confidence. korver is going to be 38 y/o next month and you have no other potential quick-trigger shooter/specialist on the team other than allen unless you count joe. royce/X are only good for wide open 3's and are not players that can be run off screens for jumpers, shoot off the dribble, or shoot deep or contested threes like korver or allen. he has also shown plenty of moments of being a secondary ballhandler/offensive creator which royce is not capable of regularly. i'd be very surprised if he's traded. if so and he starts getting regular minutes elsewhere, he may end up like buddy hield.
 
I’m actually starting to hope that Conley ends up in Detroit. I like him on the Pistons - it would make them pretty dangerous in my opinion. Conley, Griffin, and Drummond is a tough big three. And I’d like to see the Pistons be somewhat relevant again - god knows that if there’s one city in this country that need any help they can get, it’s Detroit. And It would be fun to watch them give the Celtics a hard time in the playoffs.
I have zero sympathy for any franchise that already has a ring. Let someone new win it for once.
 
I would rather the Lakers 5peat and the Jazz miss the playoffs for 4 years than have AD go to the fkn Celtics.

"The Celtics have refused to directly dangle Jayson Tatum, "

Ainge is so damn stingy that if I'm NOLA I don't take the chance that Boston refuses to trade Tatum.

Boston, without Tatum, has a terrible trade offer compared to what LA is currently offering. Tatum is going to have another big postseason and Boston will make him off limits. NOLA needs to get another 1st or 2 from LA then pull the trigger.
