What's new

You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

Here's my trade of the day that people will either hate or love.

Exum and #23 for Bjelica and #40

At #40 one of Paschall, Davis, Weatherspoon, Admiral will be available. We get a good stretch 4 to start the games and keep Jae in his role... save a little money and use our space to sign a pg or trade for Mike Conley using space and picks.
But this is going to be Exum’s breakout year!

No thanks.

Whatever. For me that trade happening or not happening likely doesn't move the needle either way.

Bjelica likely would get played off the floor in the playoffs

Exum is an important piece for any playoff series as a defender against elite guards.
 
I just haven't given up on Exum yet so I think a trade like this goes in the wrong direction.

Bjelica is a lot like Mirotic for me. Solid player, helps us in spots, but seems like a guy who is planted on the bench in a tough playoff series.

I get that... realistically there are like 3-4 teams where it is tough to play a guy like Bjelica defensively, but Milwaukee was playing Niko and Ersan, Philly ran out Mike Scott... you need shooters and he is that. My thought is he a good shooting 4 at a price where if you have to bench him in a playoff series then so be it.

I don't fault anyone that disagrees with the trade and won't argue hard with anyone that disagrees... just wanted to lay out the thought process. There aren't a lot of "16 game players" as Draymond Green says. Preference is to get those types but I don't see many available for trade with the #23.

I agree somewhat... but if he was still hitting his shots at 40% plus from three I think he'd log some time. Exum's lack of shooting might also limit him at the highest levels... I can see the argument against Bjelica, but its the same argument I'd have against Niko, Love, Jabari, etc.
 
This team is going to be successively less successful every offseason they piss away and you can quote me on that.
