Potential Trade Targets

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.

Before Hartenstein was Hartenstein he was Yurt. While he may just be replacement value I think that is the floor and you could discover more. Taj you know what he is. Sims has been hurt... they need depth and Yurt would be helpful.

Not saying its some boon but its a nice little after dinner mint.

I think it also reflects the value for JC, Sexton, Brogdon on the market. Weird move from Miami if I'm being honest.

I think it's only weird in the sense that it has taken them out of the running for a star trade.....and they've been a historically cheap franchise. But I think Terry has played up to his contract, and a good starter on that deal is worth a first IMO.

That's really flawed logic, same goes for every other replacement level C....there's a million guys that were like Hartenstein but not many that actually ended up like him. There's a small chance they truly believe Yurt is the one that is better than every other replacement level and will become Hartenstein, but I'm not seeing any reason to believe why Yurt is that guy versus Sims or any other G-League player. Yurt does not stand out compared to any other random benchwarmer C.

That's what I am saying... They are star hunters and have taken themselves out of that now for a few years. Dame, Don, etc. And they did it for Rozier? okay.

I thought the deal would be Jovic and Lowry.

He's had productive stints over multiple years in the nba as a young player. I think you are have more assurance to get replacement level play out of him than some rando in the G League. He also may show a bit more with some opportunity. He's definitely a half step better than what they would dig out the G League. If Bismack would take a minimum they might do better with that. I think its better than going to get Tony Bradley out the G league.

Meh....he hasn't been that amazing when he's played and he's like the least desirable type of C to begin with. Maybe they value him more than a Sims/Tony Bradley, but I don't have any delusions that the difference between Yurt vs Sims/Tony Bradley or whoever is actually going to help us in a trade. Yurt has the same value as Samanic, which is nothing at all.

Agree to disagree... if Yurt was on the Knicks roster he'd be getting minutes... maybe starting tonight. I think Yurt is an nba player and Samanic is not

Yeah, agree to disagree. I have zero reason to believe they do not value Sims more. Sims is the guy they chose, Yurt is some random replacement level C who has not even played well.

Indeed. Yurt is so underrated here.

I think he's most likely a third string center... but he's a third stringer I'd feel fine about having to play in a backup role. I think he's better than like Usman Garuba or whatever is in the G league.

Yurt was on the Heat last year when all the talk was about how they needed another big and he was not getting minutes.
