2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

[Hotdog]

Good thing if we are trade for him he's not the centerpiece of our team.

Thats not the point.

He has a salary like he is the center piece of the team. If we do this, thats pretty much it. We arent getting any better. There will be no hope of adding anyone of significance.

Conley is fine if he is on a contract that matches his play.

All we would be doing is adopting the same problem Memphis has.

Also, just because we can make it work because we have Donovan for cheap doesnt mean we should.

Nope, he would only be the highest paid, most experienced, have the ball in his hands more than anyone else and most nights gaurd the most explosive player on the opposing team.

There is also a good chance he will lead the team in shot attempts most nights.

Other than that he will pretty much blend in.

If Gasol is not playing and Conley is playing tonight, doesn't that mean that Gasol is the one being traded, or at least he is almost sure to be traded. It also means nothing is imminent on moving Conley and he may not be traded.

I read that a beat reporter was in Memphis Lockeroom....Gasols number had been taken off the wall and there was a bag of garbage next to Gasols old locker.

Why would we want to use any of our cap space on re-signing Rubio?

Do you really think that lowly of Ricky? I’d happily have him back at around $12ish, which would be a team discount (perhaps a steep and unrealistic one). If we got a legit stretch-4, then things would improve a lot with him.

If AD added the Clippers as one of his preferred destinations, would it be possible for us to be a part of a 3 team trade to land Harris? Would LAC and UT be able to put together a better package than the Lakers? I don't know about the Clippers assets, but would Favors, Exum, Allen, + 2 or 3 first round picks get the ball rolling on our end?
If the Clippers landed AD, they could push for Kawhi in the offseason which puts them back towards the top. If we could somehow land Harris to help AD get to the clippers I'd be ecstatic. Gobert, Harris, Ingles, Mitchell and Rubio is a damn good looking starting lineup...

Only scenario where we land Harris outside of FA. Maybe Exum and a first or salary and a first for our part. NO would have to love SGA and not have any hope of re-signing Harris. A few firsts and SGA, Exum, Expirings... kinda meh.

I think Lakers end up giving 3 or 4 unprotected firsts with their young guys and NO ends the drama and disappears into irrelevance.

To be honest I'm completely ready to move on from Ricky. The only reason we might be able to trade him right now is because he has an expiring contract. If we re-sign him to a 3 or 4 year deal then we are locked in to him as our starting point guard for the foreseeable future. If we can't find a replacement I would rather roll with Donovan at the point than blow our cap space on Rubio.

Come back to reality. Any trade involving the Clippers for AD would include Harris going to the Pels.

 

[Miggs]

Mosgov, Ross and a 1st for Conley.

Who says no?

Conley-Fournier-Isaac-Gordon-Vucevic

The Magic want to win now from alive heard and read and he’d help that.

Except that losing AD takes any chance of being competitive away for a long time. Pels would want assets to rebuild for the future, not to half *** it for a couple years. Harris is 26 and an UFA so him being the pillar of the trade for the Pels is laughable. IF he actually resigned with them, they wouldn't be relevant until long after his prime is over..

If we offered 2 or 3 first round picks and the clippers offered 2 or 3 first round picks, that beats the issue of draft picks. I mean, if first round picks are the main target for the Pels then a Lakers team featuring Lebron and AD shouldn't be that appealing.
