Fire up the Trade Machine

[Elizah Huge]

one last thought on OG and trent jr - they are main cogs in one of the most disappointing teams in the league this year. that alone doesn't speak very well of those two dudes ability to contribute to winning. that's on a team that also has pascal siakam, scottie barnes and fvv. it's not like it's them and a bunch of scrubs.

Scottie Barnes has been extremely disappointing this year.

Who says no?

I would be tempted to say yes, but it is not a no brainer. Trent would be nice 2 year addition if healthy, but maybe not an ideal fit. Gay needs to go. THT has his moments, but is not great. That draft pick is likely the Nets pick and one of the last 2 or 3 of the first round, so it is basically not much better than a early second rounder and yet it has a guaranteed contract tied to it.

Trent is opting out so it may be a 3 month deal and then he is gone.

Is he?

This trade would also come with a FRP from both the Grizz and the Pelicans

The Lakers would say no, but I would say yes easily as a Jazz fan who wants that unprotected FRP.

I think it’s easier for LA if you did it with Bev and found a third team (may be challenging of course).

LA is worried about giving up picks but I wonder if you set it up as a super swap in 2027 with any pick we currently own (Minny, Cavs, Jazz)… maybe add a swap in 2026 too plus some seconds… then they can trade their other picks and the bad half’s of the picks they swapped. I’d rather have the pick outright but maybe that is what gets the job done.

yup. too injury prone to give up that much for. not efficient enough on the offensive end and probably not as good defensively as his reputation would suggest. i wouldn't give up two unprotected firsts for him.

bottom line, if the asking prices is three firsts, he's wildly overrated.

Agree, three firsts is too much. But for me he has a lot of value in his age. He's already considered one of the best defenders in the league and will be better in his peak years.

That was my thought and 2 FRPs to boot
