Trade idea: Covington to Utah

I like it a lot. I'll take a solid role player and a good defender over another mid-1st rookie prospect.

Yeah, I was surprised they would be willing to do it, too, but the question about the availability of Covington came up precisely in the Teague for Noel trade thread and I just jabbed at it with a trade similar to that in OP and several Philly fans actually thought that it would be a great trade for them(they think 12 is a sweet-spot for getting a complementary player for whoever they draft at 1) and they seem to value that more than Covington. So yah, I'm not saying that Philadelphia's FO would be willing to do anything like that, but at least their fans seem to like the value and the concept.

If fan opinion was anything like actual GM's there would be a trade a day in teh NBA.
 
I don't think Phillly would do it for reasons Cy mentioned and I think we'd have to tweak it.

Covington and 24 for Burke, Pleiss and 12.

We would only get one of their 1sts and not swap 2nds but we would dump two ****heads.
 
Maybe we could then package 24 and 2-3 2nds to move up to around 21. Maybe Korky or Luwawu or someone slips. Or we take Maker.
 
I think they would do 12 and cap fodder for 24 and covington. He only has one year left on his deal and has been in Philly hell his whole career... doubt he wants to stay.

I'm not 100% sure I'd do it... It is so hard to measure players on teams that bad. He could look much better playing next to good players. iirc he makes a lot of contested 3s... I wonder if he'd shoot 40% if someone actually got him open looks. I also didn't watch him enough to see how good of a defender he is.

From the looks of the potential Atlanta deal he might be included with Noel for Teague... seems like a pretty big overpay to me. i would be in constant conversation with them... they need to reconfigure the roster and look poised to give out some pretty good value in a trade.

Why wouldn't he want to stay? Without Philly this dude would have no career. Not saying he owes them, but why would he want to leave when they are a) finally starting to turn the corner from a personnel standpoint and b) have a boatload of cash to pay him.

Dude has been making NBA chump change, he just wants to get paid. Going to Utah wouldn't let him get as many stats.

0 chance he is in Atlanta deal.

Because these guys are ultra-competitive and its a long season when you are losing a ton of games... regardless of how much cash you are earning.

He'd stay if they were the highest bidder and he'd be restricted so they'd control him. You can say there is zero chance he's in that deal, but people in-the-know reported he's in the discussion.

That said... Atlanta trade rumors always seem a bit ambitious, so maybe they spew this stuff to raise the perceived value of their guys.

Also, playing meaningful rotation minutes for a good team would inspire more confidence than racking up stats on a **** team. I thin he'd make more money while getting less stats (although I think he'd get plenty of playing time here).
