Potential Trade Targets

[hgb]

With both THT and KO teams are buying expiring contracts so they would be renting the players for the rest of the season. I don't see much value in that.

They do get Bird rights, though. It's not insignificant, after all.

Welp, goodbye Ochai

We are only trading halfcourt Ochai... Transition Ochai is untouchable.

Yeah, having top 30 players is awful.

Am I missing something? Trae would be awesome here.

He's annoying to watch and just not my cup of tea personally. I think its fair to question how far you can go if he is your #1. He's a guy that takes up a lot of oxygen on offense and in the locker room. Obviously talented but I wonder what he looks like without his BS foul drawing. I know he had an amazing playoff run once but not sure that will be his standard. I think he won a "most overrated player" award voted on by the players in a landslide.

The acquisition cost is a whole other issue.

Depends on the top 30 player.

Top 30 doesn't equal me automatically wanting them on the team. I'm not that simple

I don't like his game or his style. I don't really want a ball dominant undersized point guard who doesn't play defense for my star player.
Hawks just don't ever really feel like a contender to me. He isn't where I want to throw my biggest contracts.
He isn't efficient enough for me. 43% from the field and 35% from three leaves me wanting more from a superstar undersized ball hog. He has to be close to the top of the league in turnovers as well. Only year with less than 4 per game was his rookie year (3.8)
Only been an all star 2 out of his 6 years but you have to pay him, use him, and pretend like he is a superstar.
There are lots of good things about him. I acknowledge that. He just ain't it for me.

Trae Young once helped John Collins average 22 ppg.......

Like I said, the Jazz have the perfect base for a heliocentric offensive super-star.

Walker Kessler's career trajectory would be dramatically impacted by playing with Trae Young. Like an insane amount.

Hendricks should be able to do alot of the same stuff Ochai provides except Tay would give them more size to defend big wings.

Per a Hollinger Article

For instance, trading Danuel House’s $4.31 million deal would get the Sixers a mere $24,060 below the tax line, leaving just enough change in the sofa to sign a 15th roster player for the playoffs on the last day of the season. If they want a bit more breathing room, dealing Korkmaz’s $5.3 million deal also could make sense. Because these players make real money, any transaction would likely cost the Sixers a second-round pick, and their list of partners is limited to those with a mid-sized trade exception.

Trading KO for either Morris straight up or RoCo and Kormaz nets the sixers big time money - like 20M. That costs at least one second alone. Adding a rotation piece like KO is worth at least one good second (Hollinger said 2 in his article).

KO to Philly and 3 second rounders. On draft night we will parlay that into a pick in the 20s (if we want to).

Is a Trae/Lauri/Kessler core that much better than Rudy/Donovan? Guess it depends on the supporting players.

I actually enjoy watching Trae but he's getting paid $40+ mil per season to play one end of the court.
