2020 NBA trade deadline discussion

Do you have any thoughts about GR3? Just wondering

I like him. Good size at 6'7", 225 lbs. Hits 3s (37%) and scores at the rim. Brings energy on defense and can guard 3s and 4s. He has some of the same appeal as Royce. He probably does enough to get ahead of Niang in the rotation. He'll grab 5 or 6 rebounds off the bench. That's what we need.

Warriors are willing to move him, just like they'll move Alec Burks.

Has there been anything verified that the Pistons are even considering trading Wood? He is on an expiring and they have three players that can play C. Is that the only reason there is discussion regarding Wood?

He would be ideal for the Jazz.

We don't know if he is available.... but they are selling off Kennard and likely looking at a full re-build. He is a free agent and they don't have bird rights so they have no advantages in retaining him... would have to use a cap exception or space... and if they are stuck with Andre they won't have space.

Agree with you on KOC in his late years. Couldnt stand him. Just one mistake after another. Was begging for him to step down. But Derek Fisher was actually a pretty good signing, and a better “vet signing” than any vets that DL had signed except for maybe iso-joe. But I'm still waiting on DL to match KOC’s booz/okur signing. Bogie came close, but he’s already 31 and unlikely to outperform his contract the same way Booz and Okur did

Jazz traded Devin Brown, Keith McLeod and Andre Owens for Derek Fisher. That was a classic 3 pennies for a dollar trade, and one of the best of his career.

GSW is going to get 120% on Russell and the #1 pick in the draft. I hate sports.

I was kinda shocked they didn't sell out for the Minny package... not the one with Wiggins but just like Dieng and the stuff they got for RoCo. Not a ton of spots for high priced point guards... what if Minny drafts one? I hope they are stuck with him and when it comes time to win again that everyone sees his warts.

Then there is no excuse for us to let a player with some star potential go under the radar. I get that maybe DL doesn't like Josh Jackson or thon maker cuz of their issues. But there's literally no excuse for us not to try and get wood. It's OK if we don't get him, but gotta at least try.

Maker sucks... just want to put that out there... I think TB is legit better.

I'd be a little disappointed if the jazz still wanna bring in a slow footed traditional big man who can't help us guard the perimeter since this is our main issue right now.

Whatever big we bring in won't guard the perimeter. He'll sit back in the paint and help compensate for the fact that some of our guards don't guard well on the perimeter. If you want to guard the perimeter, then get Niang off the floor and bring in a defensive-minded or 2-way wing.

Maker won't rebound, he shies away from contact and he only looks good shooting the ball in 1 out of every 5 or so games.

Yeah he helped us beat the GSW to reach conference finals. Too bad he ruined his legacy with us by pulling off a dick move.

Golden State can package Russell with a lottery pick for a disgruntled All Star. I think that's their plan.

Maker can switch and guard 1-5 and has some moments in playoffs. Lacks consistency but would definitely be useful to have comes playoffs. An expiring anyways. Can't be worse than Ed
