Potential Trade Targets

Terry Rozier trade: Heat land high-scoring guard from Hornets for Kyle Lowry, first-round pick, per report

The Miami Heat are adding some offense

Not a great week for Lowry. Averaging 2ppg in just over 25 mpg in 5 games (0-18 on 3s) and now ending up in Charlotte.

Knicks in addition to JC should be trying to snag Yurt. Hartenstein is out with tendinopathy in the achilles. That seems like one of those things that needs to be managed. They need some depth there.

Yurt has no value versus any other replacement level C.

We will get him with whatever pick we get in the Knicks deal.

Hes going to be a top 10 pick ..

I think it was Bobby Marks that said NYK would keep Fournier next year if they can't find a trade just for the contract. Translation: Knicks are ready to spend big bucks.

The Knicks Film School guys are annoying homers sometimes but also super cap nerds and really smart as far as fancasters go. They talk about needing to build continuous soup with the cap and asset building and yes... you would need Evan or someone to continue that to be eligible for trade over the summer. IF they got AB or someone they could re-sign but they wouldn't help in the draft or summer transaction cycle.

That is the thing with this time of year... replacement level centers aren't just out there for nothing. They need that guy and he's capable and cheap. It would be a helpful throw in with Mitch out and Hartenstein hobbled.

Miami operates like a poverty franchise sometimes. I promise this was a big part of their motivation. With their pick stuff they have essentially removed themselves from the Donovan sweepstakes. NY now has all teh leverages.

Damn it... I got a thumbs down for @kcgar which means I've lost my way.

The point of a replacement level players is that they are literally available at any time, otherwise they would not be replacement level. They already have Sims and Taj anyways. Yurt isn't a rotation guy, he's just a warm body and they've got those.

Yurt hasn't played enough for anyone to have confidence in his ability this season.

Taj was cut and Sims has been in and out of the lineup. Yurt is better than Taj... who is washed. Yurt is better than what is available in the FA pile.

I'd go in on Dejonte Murray. Keep Sexton, Dunn and trade all the other guards. I have my doubts about Key.

They'll just sign Taj again if something happens. Yurt has no value through trade, he's just a benchwarmer as is every other benchwarmer. Maybe they do see Yurt as the cream of the crop of replacement level guys, but chances are they see someone like Taj or whoever they like in the G-League as an equivalent.
