2020 Free Agency Thread

In case there's anybody still on the "bUt TheRe oNly sEcOnD rOunDerS~" trash:

We got Jordan Clarkson with two second rounders and didn't even send an expiring contract. We just dumped twice the draft capital to correct the ledger and probably still didn't hit the target.
Yeah, the idea that you can buy them during the draft when people need to dump them doesn’t help one mid-season. So unless DL plans on including hand jobs, we don’t have any incentives to close deals. The same people saying it doesn’t matter that we don’t have any second rounders now are going to be the same people later rationalizing how DL couldn’t make moves because we didn’t have any assets.
 
Easy...If they are picks in the 50s......

We tried our hardest to get those second rounders during 2016 and 2019 and ended up with 4 picks in the 50s, aka the scurb territory. The price on picks in the 30s or even 40s are getting ridiculous nowadays if you pay attention to the market.
All sarcasm on my part.... in case you missed it

Sure, but you also have to break down what kind of 2nd's they are. Not all 2nd rounders have equal value.
 
We just gave away a pick in 2027. Anyone have any idea what the Jazz gonna look like by then? I don't think the FO has a clue themselves. They just had their eyes fixed on saving that 300k
 
Still can’t believe Shaq still out there
Because teams in modern day basketball always prioritize perimeter/wings. What Shaq brings seem valuable to us but redundant to other teams. Not even the Knicks or Hornets would name a two way G leaguer their best perimeter defender on the team.
 
A second rounder that can be redeemed for a player is always greater than a second rounder you don’t have.
Sure, but picks in the 50's are worth way less than those in the 40's, and even less than those in the 30's.

I would like to see some kind of chart that has what all the picks that were dealt were.
 
Yeah in 2027 Bojan is gonna be 38, Rudy 35, Favs 36, Joe 40. And our replacement for these guys are? Our roster currently is not constructed to compete past 2023. I can tell you that much.
