What's new

Would you trade ...

Fournier expected to be shopped. Not sure what they want but I think his contract is pretty cost-controlled. Uncertain of fit (not doubting just don’t really know) unless he plays poor man’s Hayward role.
They'd want (and probably get) a first round pick lottery protected and expiring contracts. Can't really see anyone giving up more than that. Maybe a moderately talented rookie contract player alos.
 
From Marc Stein - "Rival executives expect Jeff Weltman, Orlando’s new team president, to aggressively hunt for new homes for the likes of Evan Fournier, Elfrid Payton and Mario Hezonja, given that Nikola Vucevic’s broken finger is likely to preclude dealing the center."

At the deadline, Herzonja for Thabo and a future 2nd? Orlando would see it as an expiring and a 2nd for a player who is just going to walk.

FWIW:

The Magic have lost every game without Evan Fournier and the Jazz have a winning record without Rodney Hood.
 
Yeah I’m sure the Grizz are dying to make that deal.

Maybe? Gasol's value has tanked this year w/ how readily available big men are, his new "coach killer" label, his health, his 3pt shot seems to have been kind of fluky last year. If anything I think Phoenix is the one who scoffs at this deal.

I'm not sure the future is going to give the Grizzlies a better deal than a talented per minute center (Len), a talented rookie contract PF (Chriss), a mid first round pick (the Heat pick this year),
 
Chriss is busting hard, tho
Yeah, but what else could the Grizzlies possibly get for Gasol in the next few years? I just don't see his value as high right now w/ his contract and I don't see that value improving in the coming years. Grizzlies whole identity is taking guys labeled as bad eggs and turning them into guys people actually like and play well.

Seems like a near necessity to get out of at least one of Parsons, Gasol, or Conley deals.
 
Chriss might be so bad that his rookie salary will be a burden. They'd want picks, not busts.
 
But then again, IDK if they even want to trade him. Grizzlies are the type of team where multiple tanking seasons in a row might kill their franchise and move them to Seattle or Mexico City.
