Trade deadline discussion

You can then use that exception and a little draft capital to get Justin Holiday. Its a precursor to another deal. I think NOP is the most obvious JC destination... then you can figure out the other stuff a little easier.

I think Holiday's vaccine situation really complicates things. It worsens the QOL for the whole team. I'd be upset if I had to have more restrictions.

OTOH, IND isn't a bad JC situation either. Their entire MO as franchise has to been to hang around and stay somewhat relevant. Decent player's like JC with years on their deal are their lifeblood. Lamb+Craig for JC+Dok would fit into their tread water mentality because Lamb isn't likely to come back.

I've mentioned Lamb recently... really like him. Craig would be solid too.

Least sexy trade ever... Whiteside to Milwaukee for Semi and a 2025 indiana pacers second round pick they own. Milwaukee needs another tall human to annoy Embiid in the playoffs? Brook insurance.

Haha, the jazz being hesitant to include draft picks, must be the Aing influence. Any other year the jazz are giving draft picks away like hot cakes, good I hope we don’t give any picks.

It’s pretty smart tbh. If you think the team is rebuilding in the next 3-4 years that pick you give could be huge.

Yeah I'm a big fan as well. I thought he was very underrated before he got to IND and he's mostly been injured since he got there. I actually thought IND got away with a steal when they exchanged Lamb for Bogey way back when, but that took a turn with his health. He's just a really solid player when healthy. Shoots it, rebounds, handles/passes a bit, and makes plays on defense with his great length and good athleticism.

That would be pretty wild if we landed Richardson and Smart.

The money is pretty goofy to make it work.... I wouldn't get your hopes up we get both... or even one of them.

Great if they’d do it. Sounds like a crazy high get but I haven’t been following Semi.

Ingles, Royce and picks would probably be the deal. Maybe we throw in a young player. I don't see the Kings wanting Bogdanovic.

Could be a three team trade? Maybe with Boston since we are linked to them and Sac the most often. Maybe something like this? I think everyone team gets better in some aspect. We get taller and more athletic. Though we drive our salary even higher over the next few years as none of these are expiring.

He's a guy I could see them giving away for nothing and it being a big win for someone. I think Ingles plus a sweetner for Lamb and Craig would work on their end too. I don't think they love have Craig's money on the books for next year and it gives them some breathing room from the tax.

He's trashy trash... he's just filler and we waive him.

Like I'd rather get Lamb than Richardson... and I think the asking price on Richardson is likely higher.
