I don't think they should make a trade this year. There isn't anyone out there who is available. They should just move the rotation line up. When Capela returns, they should play both Kenneth Faried and Capela at front with PJ Tucker at small forward. Move Eric Gordon back to the 6th man role. Have Austin Rivers, Green, Gary Clark, and Brandon Knight as depth. That's not a bad line up. But in case they should make a move the only player out there who is available is Bazemore from the Hawks. But the Rockets will give up too much for him though.
I hope Morey already has a deal in place to improve our roster. I don't think a major move is needed but a SF good shooter with length or big pf a of would be nice.
I like your thoughts... small differences, IMO Chriss and 2nd + cash For Thon Maker Maker would adds some size and defense on the cheap plus House is still out there, too. Both smaller doable deals with reward. I see Faried as bench type player giving us another level of play when CC needs to sit. They both are good p&r players and would get in each other’s way. We are in good shape. I think coach would do a 9 man rotation through out the season and into the playoffs if had all these trusted choices. Paul, Harden, House, Tucker & Capela Gordon, Faried, Rivers, (Maker/Nene) (Knight value goes way up next trade deadline as an expiring)
Getting Beal would be insane, in a great way of course. If Washington moves Beal it definitely means that they're throwing up the white flag completely and will try to reshuffle the deck around a John Wall (yikes). In this scenario Washington pretty much rid themselves of Beal and his $75 million left on his deal. Jimmy Butler will probably not want to re-sign with the Wizards in the summer so they only have Nene's cap hit left to worry about. Philly moves on from the Butler experiment and brings in perimeter scoring in Gordon and some homegrown talent/toughness in Morris. Houston gets Beal in this transaction but will also lose 2+ 1st Rounders to Washington in the transaction. Not the greatest of possibilities but man...is it ever intriguing
Not much is needed just enough to cover the the difference between their contracts so Milwaukee is not losing money on the deal upfront and they take no contract back for next year. The deal presented makes Thon just disappear. Chriss brings a similar skill set as a place holder for the rest of the season. Why else would they do it? He is not worth a FRP
Man it’s gonna take more than that, I think he’s targeting Lakers still thought. Rox would have to through in Capela I would think to start those talks. Lakers would have to include Kuzma, Hart, Ingram, and picks
NOLA says no, swap Knight with Capela and they might say yes. That's a lot to trade for though, i mean, not saying we shouldn't but, Capela, Gordon and four 1st rounders...that's really a lot. If we could eventually get Beal or Butler with Gordon and picks, what's better between: Davis PJ House Harden Paul Faried Ennis House Green Rivers ...and: Capela PJ Harden Butler/Beal Paul Faried Ennis House Green Rivers ?
I know we consider Butler a thing of the past at this point, but i'm still not sure he's going to stay in Philly, i guess they probably won't trade him this season, but if this summer he tells them he's not staying, they should at least consider doing an opt in trade, and with a team in the West with a good guard/wing it makes more sense. If we can get him while keeping Capela and multiple 1st rounders, i don't really know...i mean, Davis is very good and potentially a nightmare matchup for any other team here, but i'm not sure it would be better for us to have just him over Butler, Capela and three/four 1st rounder to use going forward. If we trade those picks in anydeal we would'be literally left without ways to improve the roster.
If you get AD/Jimmy/Beal i don't think you're gonna need any other improvement... just keep a first rounder in 2023 or so
Eh, you might be right but Paul is injury prone, Davis is not exactly durable...thise summer we might very well lose both Faried and Rivers, what if we're left with: Davis PJ House (?) Harden Paul Hartenstein Ennis Green ...and the tax MLE? That's an old team with some injury problems, in tax territory and without picks for 3/4 years, i don't really think it's a great situation.
It surely ins't a good situation; but i would trust Morey in picking something good among undrafted or vet mins; and of course, if you want to be a real contender, it's all about CP3 health
