Trade Deadline General Discussion

They're going to rebuild. John Wall is no longer in their plans. He's burned mgmt and again, like everyone else, wants out. We missed our chance on Kelly O though.

But, Kyle O is available

 

You know what is funny....I was thinking last night, if the KNICKS don't get their top FA guys this summer, strike out....they COULD look to trade for Wall. Take his contract off the Wiz hands. We all talk about Wall's horrible contract, but there will be MANY teams with CAP ROOM that miss out on guys when the music stops.

That really seems like a KNICKS type of move.

 

I feels ya. Beal feels that way. But Washington management, what will they do?

 

Really enjoying the action/info on here with Cod this Super Bowl Sunday

For the record I believe Washington and Houston are destined to do a deal

 

Nene was pretty great last night.

 

He's been playing well in his limited minutes. Love a guy his size pressuring the ball, getting steals and then dishing an assist on FB. Vintage Nene last night!

 

Anyone think Cavs are going to trade Kevin Love away, before the deadline?

 

Report that the pelicans will ask the lakers for same offer they’ve already made plus one more pick.

Lol what a joke

 

Good lord

 

If the Lakers are offering

Kuzma
Ball
Ingram
Zubac
KCP's expiring
1 unprotected first rounder

for

Davis
Unwanted filler (i.e. not Darius Miller)

Pelicans should take it immediately. Everyone is intent on screwing the Lakers out of this so no matter what is offered people will generally say it's garbage, it's a conspiracy, bla bla. Truth is Pelicans are hardly likely to get a better deal than that for 1.5 years of Davis (which is his true value to the other 28 teams).

That's 3-4 decent prospects under team control and a decent pick. If negotiating, they should ask for Rondo and Solomon Hill to be included on both sides. That would guarantee a ceiling on the Lakers and remove a terrible contract. Worth more than an additional pick as the Pelicans will essentially be rebuilt instantly if they just sit Holiday rest of the season.

Sucks for league and Pelicans, but they have to be realistic about this. If the Celtics are committing to a top pick and Tatum, that's the only thing worth waiting for. If they don't commit, I say pull the trigger.

I'm speaking here in the Pelicans' interest of course. For the Rockets, I hope the Pels let this drag out for a year.

 

They must heard of the 4 1st rounders.

 

Anyone want to listen & report back? Will send 'Like'.

 

Zach Lowe doesn't get **** from executives or coaches around the league. Everything he reports concerning trades or rumors are things he hears from other reporters and journalists. He will report the gossip he hears (and it is usually accurate) but that is about it.

 

With the way the Lakers have approached the Davis situation, it reminded me that the Lakers GM was James Harden's agent and Harden liked/likes him very much. Combined with how Cod mentioned Harden has been getting more frustrated, it makes me wonder if the Rockets understand they're playing with fire.

Harden isn't the type to give up mid season or to even go public with stuff like this. For whatever reason, he seems like the type who likes having his own city, his own team and going to war. But everyone breaks when they envision their career without a ring. Players are more optimistic than fans, but this doesn't look like a championship team. Surely he sees his arch nemesis Kawhi at the top of the standings, he sees Giannis competing for MVP and #1 seed, he sees the Lakers on the verge of acquiring Davis, and possibly KD/Irving teaming up in New York.

All I'm saying is, I hope we put a team around this guy good enough to not let his thoughts wander there. Can someone tell me I'm way off please.

EDIT: I know this is more of a GARM post, but I like the level headed crowd in this thread better. Posters who have eyes on other teams' development.

 

I'm telling you right now, I doubt anything happens today. We still have 72+ hours til the trade deadline. Do yourself a favor and get some sleep!

 

Kelly O would've been crazy good with harden, Paul, and MDA.

Kyle O would be great! love his ability to rebound, block shots, and pass (his ast% is really high for a C).

with faried on board I wouldn't want to give up any assets to bring in Kyle though. "the drop" has been decreased enough not to warrant spending more assets there. at this point all we need is 2 more versatile 3&D forwards, and some health. if we can catch at least 1 #freebird (Matthews?) and pull off 1 smaller trade (j.green from Memphis?) we'd be set.

 

Pops just want him to stay close to the California home.

 

Knock Knock, who's There?

Four first round draft picks
