Trade deadline discussion

If we wanted to, we could just use our exception to take Holiday. That would mean a ton in terms of the luxury tax, but if we wanted to win, it would be a move in a better direction.

What are we giving up? Second rounders in the 30s? And by 30s I don’t mean draft position, I mean the 2030s.
 
Lol, the ole "scorched earth" trade idea.

Jazz get Collins, Smart, and Grant
Celtics get Conley
Hawks get Rudy
Pistons get Bogdan Bogdanovic, Schroder, Boston 2022 1st, Atlanta 2022 1st

Celtics go nuts if they get Conley for Smart/Schroder and throw a 1st at Detroit.

Hawks go nuts if they get Rudy and throw a 1st at Detroit. They actually save money and put the best screener with Trae.

Pistons are happy to get a good rotation player in Bogdan and two 1sts. They turn around and trade Schroder to Dallas for more picks.

We completely change what we do, go more defensive overall as a team, and get much younger. Don, Smart, Grant, Bojan and Colllins would be exciting...

Utah sends a first to Sacramento... Boston sends a second or two to Sacramento.

I'd still bring Smart off the bench and start House. He gets the nominal start and plays 15-20 minutes. Smart closes. I'm not convinced Bogey vs. Barnes is some great improvement but this helps us mitigate risk that Bogey's finger stops working.

Boston gets away from the two big lineups and saves a little next year... doubt they were going to waive Horford as they won't be able to clear cap space. They gets some shooting.

Sacramento needs a starting center to supplement Holmes... they also need a winner and a vet. Royce gets them a 3 and D guy on a decent deal. They get a first for their trouble. Bagley is more salary filler than anything. They supposedly were offered 2 first for Barnes last year but that is the price of keeping him an extra year. They don't abandon their stupid run at the 10th seed but get some forward looking value. Cap space smap space... ain't no one want to play there... they give up some cap space but nbd.

Deal also shaves 4M from the books once you replace a roster spot and so we get some serious tax savings.

Rudy goes no where in trade unless we are getting back a true tier 1 player along with multiple assets. That is scorched earth because nothing will ever grow in that earth again.

Hahaha. I know. Rudy goes nowhere. Would be selling at an absolute high, but yeah, it won't happen at this time.
