Trade deadline discussion

no...... We will need to give up assets to offload Favors and Bojan at this point. Whatever you guys been saying about these two would make a whole lot more sense if they are on expiring contract. but whoever get them will have to pay them till summer 2023, which is enough to deter a lot of the teams.

Cavs could step in and offer Drummond's expiring deal. Jazz would take Siakam and give Toronto draft compensation. Cavs could flip the Jazz players, like they do every year and get a return for Drummond.
 
Another play for the Jazz would be to offer Bojan, Royce and picks in a deal for Siakam. Might have to go 3-way. The logic is that the Raptors are going into full rebuild and may not want to pay Siakam $30 mil to pout through it all.

Conley/Mitchell/Ingles/Siakam/Gobert is a nice lineup.
Total pipe dream
 
I just try to keep in mind what Jrue Holiday went for.

We aren’t in the game when it comes to major talent acquisition. We shot our load with Conley. We work the margins now.

Here's what the Jazz gave up for Mike Conley: Jae Crowder, Grayson Allen, 2 1sts. Not exactly a load. Kyle Korver was added as extra salary, but he was waived.
Here's what Milwaukee gave up for Jrue Holliday: Eric Bledsoe, George Hill, 2 1sts, and 2 pick swaps. They paid a premium in picks because they needed Giannis to re-sign.

There are only a handful of teams in the league who are willing and able to take Siakam's 3 years @ $115M remaining on his contract for a 2nd-tier star player. It all depends on what the Raptors want to take back. Maybe the Pacers will give Myles Turner and change. Maybe the Hornets will give Rozier and Miles Bridges. Golden State would certainly offer Wiggins' contract.

If Toronto can get MPJ, Barton and change from Denver, they should take that deal, but who knows if Denver will offer it.

-A useful full-MLE player that we immediately missed (and could still use)
-three firsts (if you count Grayson, which I do)
-the opportunity cost of carrying ~$34 million a year of Conley's salary
-a year in the LT.

It was a ****-load, dude. Either you're being intellectually dishonest or daft as hell.

That really isn’t ****. The picks were going to be worthless especially when we draft players like Azubuike. Conley is an All-Star. Not sure what else you think we could have got for that package.
