2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

2 first round picks is what it takes to start the talks on getting an All-Star. You don't trade two 1st for a borderline starter.
 
Kinda wondering if the wait on Conley is an effort to make a 3 way trade to find Ricky a better team to play for, staying loyal even when trading him

Their front office is fractured... and in transition. There’s a chance they eff this up and keep them like they did with Evans last year.
 
Wiz have to make Porter available now right? I mean Wall out next year means they probably need to bring back Sato or just flat out rebuild. If they sign Tomas to $10-11M they are at the tax with like 4 healthy players... one of which is Ian Mahinmi... They need cheaper pieces or a full on rebuild.

What a fuggin disaster.
I'd prefer Satoransky over Porter. Im sure DL can find another SF who does nothing outside of 3 and D fairly easily. Especially Porter isn't exactly on the most team-friendily contract right now. But a 6’7” playmaking PG who can create his own shot, play off-ball, and shoot 3‘s at 40% clip? Please find another one for me on the market. Pretty foolish of WAS for keeping Porter over him TBH.
 
I want Satoransky over Conley and Rubio at this point. He's the closest thing to Jrue Holiday in this summer market and he is fairly gettable.

Him+Mitchell>watching Ricky bricking us out of games/creating a poor man version of Portland backcourt
 
I wrote a week ago that I didn't think Memphis trades for Rubio to be their starter ,because he's unrestricted after this season (30 games) and that it wouldn't surprise me if Exum started for them the rest of the season.
Now Wall blew out his achilleas tendon and wonder if Porter for Exum/ Favors gets new life.
 
Ben Dowsett podcast has a Memphis beat writer guy on it.

They both think Utah has the lead on Conley. Detroit/Memphis has died down some.

Favors most likely not included in any Conley trade. Exum possibly.

Think Conley makes the WCF possible for Utah we’re as right now the 2nd round is our ceiling.
He did not.

He had a national writer who use to live by Memphis who knows some people who work for the Grizzlies.
 


that is a TERRIBLE idea for toronto. these discussions have to be preliminary. i know they're desperate to win this year but man that's awful. cap wise lowry's contract is better than jackson or really anyone detroit can send, and JV is a solid piece to replace Gasol.

I can see it going either way for Memphis, but I think it'd be down to Toronto and us. Both offers are better than Detroit's.
 
So we are willing to give up more for Conley than we would for Kuzma? That's just crazy. Kuzma is a scorer and we are a team who desperately needs another scorer. If we create a starting lineup of Exum, Mitchell, Ingles, Kuzma and Gobert, Kuzma is our worst defender. However, everybody else is a fantastic defender. On the offensive end, we Mitchell and Kuzma are the only fantastic offensive players. I will take his defense as long as he is providing that much of an offensive threat.

What source has said that Kuzma is even available?

That sums up what we’re missing perfectly. Even joe would play better with less responsibility, he just seems so tired

I agree. He's been asked to carry such a heavy load... shoot, create, get to the rim, score, guard one of the opposing teams best players (If not the best) every night... that I think it's worn out his legs. That's why I think his three point shooting percentage has dipped. He plays damn near every game too. If we got a guy like Conley who is more of threat than Rubio as a scorer it might save Joe's legs a little bit.
