Can't do any first round trade until we give Mem the first round pick we owed to them
2020 NBA trade deadline discussion
- Thread starter infection
- Start date
I’d respond a few ways:
1. Morris’ value probably isn’t as high as fans think it is because of being on a one-year deal, questionable chemistry issues, and knowing that his numbers are inflated this year. GMs aren’t ignorant to that. That said, any team looking to move for Morris is a team thinking they can contend. Who would that be and what would they give?
2. Morris’ numbers could certainly return to 36% on three, but even so that’s pretty good for a guy that brings fire, plays defense, and can rebound (at least do so much better than our current options).
3. I don’t anticipate him being a 50% three point shooter, but the last three years he’s averaging 39.2%, so I’d assume he’s at least a 37%+ shooter, which is really good.
While you may not find what you want at DI, you may find someone there who has what you want, and is crazy enough to take your donations in exchange for it.
I’d consider New York, Portis, and Exum to fill in for those variables.

Baynes
We could also bring back Ronnie Brewer.
Does Phoenix want Exum?

Some of our draft picks have just been baffling. Like how can we pride ourselves so much on player development and then pick guys like Grayson Allen over Anfernee Simons and Mitchell Robinson? Lyles was another boring pick with meh upside, but that luckily worked out in a roundabout way. Robinson may have had some character concerns, but I think it was mostly about him decommitting from his college, which who cares? At least Denver has taken risks on high upside guys, like Michael Porter Jr and Bol Bol. I bet Bol has more trade value than any of our young guys and he might snap in half before playing an NBA game.

Maybe they’re dumb enough to get fleeced ?? Baynes would be an animal here
Baynes isn’t and won’t be available.

I know. It was just the idea of him
You say that like he doesn’t know that or as though he was suggesting we do that.

I am aware... which is why he’s not in our range.

We don't need Conley have we drafted Devonte Graham. We don't need Ed Davis have we drafted Mitchell Robinson. Well, we don't need Ed right now since we've got Bradley

He’s strictly a 5, but I’d support this acquisition, for sure.

I only deal in hyperbole that is kinda sorta true.
Getting Portis would be a joke

Portis would not be a joke. He would be a good solid 4/5 off the bench providing size underneath we are lacking. And in all reality there isn’t much I wouldn’t want the jazz to try out with how badly Davis has looked as of late. That guy is straight ****ing butterfingers. I hate watching him play. It’s too bad but that’s the nature of the beast when making trades or picking up new acquisitions in the off-season. I still feel like our top six are solid. It’s players 7-9. Portis would be a good number 7. Maybe 8 and 9 can be found down the stretch off our bench or from the buyout market. Bertans would be a good snag this summer but no way Washington deals him for less than a first. No.... portis is our shooting for the stars given our dilemma.
