Potential Trade Targets

[Ron Mexico]

Only if we are trading Lauri and have a haul lined up. Cash in on Sexton and you may as well go full process. The swap needs to be one in 29 when we can swap with like 3-4 other picks we own.

Eh, it depends on what other moves are made and how the coaching staff/FO feels about Sexton long term. There really isn't much of a scenario for trading Lauri.

Woj on the Lakers:

LA wants Bruce Brown. They tried to sign him in free agency, then called the Pacers about trading for him before he was included in the Siakam trade. They will be on the phone again with Toronto trying to acquire Brown before the deadline.

They’ve talked with the Hawks about Dejounte Murray, but Atlanta is trying to recoup the draft capital (3 FRP) they originally sent to the Spurs.

If D’Angelo Russell is part of a trade, they will likely need to attach more assets to get off his contract because of the player option.

Yeah, of taking on DLo can gain you assets, I'm 110% in

Here's what I think I know for sure:

- Dlo is gone.
- I think Rozier goes to the Heat. Sending Lowry for Rozier saves them a bunch of tax this year. Hornets clear the books (likely a sweetener coming their way).
- Murray is gone
- Brown gets moved somewhere.
- Fournier's deal gets moved somewhere.

I think those might be in the "virtual certainty" for me. I think you can connect a lot of those dots together and how they link together will be how the deadline shakes out.

Got one right

More smoke from Woj today regarding Clarkson and the Knicks.

McMenamin again mentioned Sexton as a trade target for the Lakers as they have had internal discussions and believe he is a fit for what they want.

Hornets pick is lotto protected for one year then unprotected the next. Great pick

Sexton a Rich Paul player. Could help convince the Lakers to give up a lot

Sexton would be an incredible fit for the Lakers. Basically a perfect team for him.

Would require the removal of the protection on the 27 pick, JHS, and another unprotected pick. Then a pick swap to account for taking on the DLo contract

Got one right

That was the hardest one… I will go 5/5 but the aren’t hard scenarios to foresee.

I don't think Clarkson goes to NYK based on the tone of what Woj said. Sounds like NYK is trying to bargain hunt. I bet they end up getting Brown or Burks who will be cheaper to acquire due to being an expiring contract

 

[HeatCheck]

I don't want to trade Sexton at all but he actually would be a perfect fit on that Laker team even moreso than Dejounte tbh. They are desperate for team speed especially in their backcourt and we all know, esp in the postseason, their offense is running thru only one man and that's Lebron. Releasing the protection on that '27 pick isn't much of an incentive since it's only top 4 protected.

Yeah I think it ends up being Burks that they get for a 2nd.

Based on what I saw from Brown in the playoffs last year he's a better 2 way player than Clarkson. I bet the Raps would demand Grimes+FRP from the Knicks in any deal for him.
