2020 NBA trade deadline discussion

Well the good news about this embarrassing skid is that this front office is strictly reactive so maybe they'll trade the golden child for a real basketball player if the opportunity is out there.
 
I could see a deal with NY happening, and I could see the Jazz asking for Ntilikina to be included a) because he's an NBA athlete and good defender with good size for a combo guard, and b) because Rudy and Donovan both know him pretty well. They may see some Delon Wright potential in him. He's on a rookie deal for this season and next, just like Donovan. He's also only 21.

If it were me, I'd probably punt on Exum and try to get Ntilikina at this point. We also have Miye Oni who is a tough defender with good size at the 2-guard.

Jazz were interested in Bobby Portis during FA last summer, but I'm not sure how they feel about his contract. He's on a two-year deal at $15M/year.
I have been really, really high on the idea of Ntilikina for a while. He is a solid player in a bad situation. He still has potential and maybe he can unify this team due to his connection with Rudy and Donovan.

Exum and Green

Ntilikina and Gibson

NY saves money this year and pick up a player they hopefully have interest in (Exum). We get two useful players. Gibson provides much needed frontcourt depth. If we also have to send them Mudiay, then so be it.

All knicks players should be viewed differently... I would trust their career numbers more than this years numbers because that team is a dysfunctional steaming pile of ****.
 
Randle-18M (expires in 2022)
Morris-15M (expiring)
Portis-15M (team option in 2020)
Gibson-9M (expires in 2021)
Payton-8M (expires in 2021)

Also fwiw, I proposed Conley and Exum for Horford and Neto to my buddy who’s a rabid Sixers fan and a smart one at that and he said it’s not far off and that they’d prob need Davis too. He thinks they need a true point guard who can shoot.
