Trade Idea with OKC

Stoked said:
In that scenario their 1st round pick would not be that great of a player. We are talking a late 1st rounder, perhaps even last.

Then there is the problem of Perkins. I do not think there is anything that Perkins can teach Favors, Kanter and Gobert that a competent big man coach cannot.

This seems to be great for OKC and that is nice and all but i see no real incentive for Utah here. Pass

I agree one hundred percent.

Maybe they get multiple picks in the deal? OKC has one first rounder left from the Houston deal as well. It also helps to have a favor owed by Presti.

Even if OKC dumps Perkins, they won't have nearly enough cap space to sign Pau.
 
This trade is bad -- selling 10 million of cap space for a very late first is terrible value since there are teams every year who will sell late firsts outright for 3 million (we just did that for Gobert if I remember correctly.)

But the principle is sound. We should not be active in the FA market, accept another rebuilding year, and sell cap space as we did in the Golden State deal. We just have to wait out the right offers.

Is Perkins the only player on okc's roster? Maybe they send us two or three players. That's the beauty of having a fifteen player roster. I mean, if every team could only ever trade one player, it would be a pretty boring league. Kind of like when you just spit out facts and act like you are the only one thinking in any thread you post in.
 
We don't want to help OKC out in any way. They could become a dynasty with a little tinkering. Luckily it looks like Westbrook and Durant cannot coexist. If you look at the 82games floor time stats, they are better both offensively and defensively with Jackson at PG over Westbrook, and not by a small margin.

Haha, beat me to it.

So, moving on: do we want Westbrook?

They'd have to dump every player on their roster other than Durant, Westbrook and Ibaka AND dump all their draft picks to have $10mm in cap space.

They could, I suppose, get Pau in a sign-and-trade though.

Also, I was just trying to be helpful. There's no point discussing a trade that can't actually happen.

We could definitely pull a similar move as we did with GS to stockpile more assets. Especially with so many big names possibly entering free agency, teams will be looking to clear space to sign them. But if we do take the route again this summer, I don't think it'll be with OKC for reasons people have already stated.
 
Perkins is making 9.6 , considering what we'd be doing for OKC, I'd demand at least two picks.OKC just doesn't aeem that appetizing for us. It's guaranteed succss for the,, not for us.
