Trade deadline discussion

[Handlogten's Heros]

I could totally see this happening.

Here is the issue... what else are we giving in that scenario.... OKC will have a few teams... Clips and others that will throw them stuff for that space. They won't do it just because.

While everyone knows you can buy second round picks 10 for $1 at your local Macy's during draft night... you can't buy any now... and we have like 2 left... and one is conditional... so we have 1.5 second round picks we can trade. That cupboard ain't bare but there is only some expired medicine and a container of chick-fil-a sauce left there. The sauce is Polynesian so maybe?

He continues to say it but has refused to answer why we gave OKC a second rounder.

Or, hell, why we gave them a first rounder.

Lolz we are a contender and are all in... so many lolz.

I'd sign House to a 2 year minimum deal with the second year as a team option.

I'd call NOP to ask if they'd like to send us a couple second rounders and absorb JC into their trade exception... saving Ryan $30M in tax and salary. Assuming there is no better deal I think I could get that or the Satoransky deal. Either way I want to open up some breathing room.

I'd take one of the second round picks I just got and trade it with Joe Ingles to the Spurs for Thad Young. He becomes the backup small ball 5. The get a second and the salary is basically the same. They won't do better.

I take calls on Mike, Bogey, and make a few calls on Royce. I don't move them unless I get 1.25 on the dollar... but I'd say its a seller's market so something weird might shake loose. The goals being to push the contention window out just a hair, getting assets, or creating more flexibility. I'm likely not getting anything good enough to make a move.

I'm running JB, House, Pashcall out there plenty to see if any are long term keepers.

WILD Scenario....

Basically I'm going to listen to Sacramento, Washington, New Orleans on anything... go ahead and make offers on anyone... lets just see how desperate you get. Likely nothing comes of it but who knows what they might throw out there.

I'm basically here, besides being aggressive on Bogey (though I believe Tony Jones that he won't be moved at the deadline.) He's 33 next year, has one more year left, now is the best time to move him.

I have zero faith in this team making it past the second round, start the retooling now. Not a rebuild yet, but sell off the older players while you can. Don't make the same mistake they did with Millsap.

Not only are we not going to cut salary, but we’re going to use the full Favors TPE plus sign buyout vets.

It’s not about the money. We just doing them a solid.

Make the Favors pick fully unprotected (not just remove *some* protection) and get Hustle. It’ll make it easier to trade future picks also.

I'm not sure on Bogey. I don't think his trade value is as high as his on court value. I think he is totally fine next year. I actually worry more about Mike and Royce. I think Royce's trade value might be higher than his on court value... if House was replacing him. As long as Mike stays healthy I think he has value in the offseason, but if we got a really good offer there I think we'd have to consider it. Not sure there is a really good offer there because there is so much PG depth in the league.

The type of offers that would have me start thinking about Mike trades are pretty high but I could see the Celtics or Wizards deciding to do something semi-drastic I guess... maybe just the Wiz.

If they did it without Kenny Hustle we should quit as fans. Just pick another team. I'd be pissed.

Meanwhile in reality land... we eff around with House on 10 day deals to save a few dollars and reduce the risk if we had to waive him if he got hurt. Running the risk that another team swoops in with an offer after realizing the only thing he did was have sex and he's still a useful player.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Whatever we do I am sure it will piss me off and block any potential chance we get of seeing JB (who I am not trading now... keep him out your damn trade machine).

Nah. Quit hoops fandom ideally. But, yeah.

I think trading the Ingles contract makes a lot more sense now. It’s not actually trading Joe anymore, just his contract. He won’t have to report, move, wear another team’s jersey. Hopefully it is for a player and not just tax savings, but either way I can’t imagine Joe would be upset with this given the injury.
