2020 NBA trade deadline discussion

Knicks and Lakers are supposedly interested in making a deal. The Lakers want Morris ($15 million) and the Knicks want Kuzma ($2 million). Interesting to see how the Lakers can make that happen considering the salaries.

Knicks would need to consolidate or cut a bunch of guys... it’d be a 4 for 1 trade. I have a feeling this is the Lakers and Knicks raising the price for the clips... I think the two things that are certain this trade deadline are that Houston will move Capela and Clips will get Morris.

I think the Lakers would move Danny Green, but they'd want a SG back, like maybe Alonzo Trier or Damien Dotson.

I think the Lakers would move:

Avery Bradley $4.77
JaVale McGee $4
Quin Cook $3
Kuzma $1.975
Troy Daniels $1.62
Jared Dudley $1.62

They would probably love to move Caldwell-Pope, but he has a no trade clause.
 
And how many times in the past did I tell the Lakers to use picks to dump Luol Deng's deal? Not only did they waste more of their picks than use wisely, but they are also having $5 million of their cap eaten up every single year by Deng's waive and stretch. This season and two more down the road. Piss poor planning.

I mean that's what they should do... but they might be wary of matching the type of deal he will get when their team is going through a rebuild. They don't have bird rights on him. So unless they move Drummond the highest they can go is MLE... well a bunch of teams could offer that and he might find a team he likes more.

They are selling off Kennard for draft assets, so I think they will likely reset the next couple years... go through the process until Blake's contract expires. Wood could be a better trade asset if they have him on a reasonable deal or he might clog their cap for other things they want to do... their window becomes something that is 3-4 years away.

Yep, I'd be genuinely upset if DL doesn't make a move for him or Jerami Grant this summer. Long forwards like these two are becoming the trend. Hou is even trying ro replace Capela with looney. Tough days for the traditional centers.

WTF can’t we just see what Brantley has??

Morgan or Brantley would have been great options to try a couple weeks ago... I still think it’s a good idea... problem is once the trade deadline passes you don’t have other options if they suck. Morgan should have been given a chance at backup 5.
