Trades: What are we looking for ideally?

John Henson? The Bucks suck. Cheap contract.

Edit: Nevermind, ****ty source. Bad contract.
 
Koufos. The contract is north of 8M for a couple more years but he'd be a realy solid 3rd big. Not sure what we'd have to give up to get him.

I don't think a Booker upgrade is happening unless a bargain comes to the table. He has gotten better as the season has moved along.

I think the Rockets have KJ and Terrence Jones, so they'd be a candidate with some matching assets.
The Kings have Collison and Casspi (who I wanted to sign and ended up signing for next to nothing) who would help. They aren't selling those guys though... they went all in and I doubt they turn face now.
Suns have Goodwin and Teletovic/Leuer.
Magic have Nicholson and CJ Watson.

We could match salaries for any of those deals pretty easily without giving up a meaningful player. Other than the Kings deal though and I am not giving up any kind of meaningful future asset for those deals.

I'd take Casspi, Teletovic, Leuer. All stretch bigs that shoot 40%+ from 3. We need scorers on this team. Casspi went off for 36 pts the other night...

Aren't Casspi and T more of threes though really?

Casspi has been more of a 3 but he's 6'10 and rebounds well. Plays combo forward a lot. Probably can't hold his position in the post though.

You really want to tie up that kind of cap space for a guy who won't move the needle more than maybe two wins? Every name you've dumped into this trash bin of a thread is not worth the time. What's your obsession with getting rid of Booker anyway?
 
I'm sticking with the Brandon Knight trade I suggested a few weeks back. He'd be a good fit here. Phoenix is falling apart. They just fired two assistant coaches; Bledsoe is injured; and there are reports that there are problems between Knight and Bledsoe in the locker room.

That's 14M per year for four more years. Is that something we can afford knowing Hayward, Gobert and Favors will have to be reupped? And maybe Exum, Burks, and Hood? Moreover, where does that leave Exum next year? And worst of all, how do we financially pull this off within CBA guidelines?

Burks and Hood would have to be part of the deal for Knight.

14M will be a good deal for Knight as the cap continues to skyrocket.

We're already thin and would trade two of our key contributors away for an average point guard after just spending the #5 overall pick on a kid who you just happen to love and who just happens to also play point guard? Doesn't make sense to me. I'd rather have Jrue. He's 4M cheaper and his contract is up after next year and he's currently coming off the bench anyway so if that were to continue next year when Exum returns, it shouldn't ruffle too many feathers. Burke for Jrue would work I think. And it would free up about 8M for the Pels this summer so that they could maybe pursue a legit FA.

Exum-Jrue-Neto
Burks-Hood
Hayward-Ingles-Lyles (I know he's played a lot of 4 but I see him here and the 4)
Favors-FA-1st rounder(Bender is my dream)
Gobert-Withey

What say you about that as our core next year?
 
^Assuming we're healthy, and we get one solid vet FA, and Lyles improves (like Exum seemed to before his injury), and Withey plays like he has been, that's a pretty deep squad that could be legit.
