2020 NBA trade deadline discussion

Memphis created leverage by leaking trade rumours, thus upsetting Rubio. Smart move on their part, although it might cost them a chance to move Iguodala. Still, I wonder if Jazz were bidding against themselves in the Mike Conley "Sweepstakes".

Listening to Locke... not real encouraging that we get something done... literally said with our assets we can’t pick up the phone... we are waiting for calls... I’m sure that’s not how it really works but I don’t think we are shaking things down like we should. Keeps saying upgrading TB is only like 8-10 minutes a night in the playoffs so not sure how much it matters... so when margins become thinnest we aren’t sure an upgrade is worth it... if it saves one playoff game it can swing a series. I’m now fully prepared for a super meh deadline.

Vonleh was the kind of deals we could get. Watched that one go up in smoke last night from the comforts of my bedroom.

At least KOC would be willing to spend his money and take a flyer on guys like booz and our in the summer. I doubt DL has any plans other than bringing in a bunch of washed old dudes who only wanna collect their paychecks and won't stick around for more than two years. Like Boris, KK, Jeff, Ed, lol... ironically KOC ended his legacy by choosing Raja Bell over Matthews. Guys just won't learn their lesson...

DL is so much better of a GM than KOC that it's not even funny. I actually fault KOC for giving DL a lot of his passivity and course-staying. Perhaps you're not remembering KOC bringing back the exact same flawed team three years in a row to get bounced by the Lakers in the post-season in successively less games each year.
 
Teams like Denver are getting richer and richer in assets because they focus on investing in young guys whose values will only go up. We spent our assets on older dudes who we all just let go for free, or have to get away assets to cut their contract in a couple of years.

We wasted alot on Exum thank God for Clarkson.

Wasn't he saying exact same thing before we traded for Clarkson? I have hard time believing that Cleveland called asking for Exum, I think it was our call.

Just do it... guarantee him the backup job... he knows the system. Make it happen damn it. Also go get one three and D wing if possible in the bargain bin... Dotson type... is feel so much better about the team with Ekpe on board.

IDK but I do think Cleveland knew we’d do a deal like that and the timing may have been on them a little... they wanted more PT for Garland and Sexton.

I just don’t like the idea that we don’t have big upgrade opportunities... the TB Niang frontcourt doesn’t work especially combined with our small guards on the second unit.
