Potential big moves 2023-24

I’d trade Dario now, try to get a small useful asset from a contender with a need.

He’s fine, but won’t make a crucial difference this season.

Also, he’s someone Kerr uses badly and too much. They won’t trade the big guys in that category, but we should start somewhere.

This team needs to reset in a real way at some point, and that point is arriving quickly.

I don't think it's likely we do nothing.

I said it's more likely now. Hard to argue it's less likely, just using plain old fashioned logic. Siakam was clearly the biggest trade target. He's off the table now. Who is left? Dejounte Murray?

If we're just looking to dump salary we can probably do Hield for wiggins

And LaVine. Murray could be useful, but I don't think he's a huge difference-maker. LaVine...yuck. But if they're trying to match big salaries, they might look at LaVine out of desperation.

I'll be surprised if they make a series of moves that makes them a lot better, I just don't see the puzzle pieces available (Markkanen probably is not), but you never know.

Indy has no need for Wiggins with Mathurin and Nesmith on the roster and would probably rather just have Hield's expiring when you factor in that they hope to sign Siakam.

Maybe. Someone put out that they were interested in Wiggins. The kings have also put out that they were interested in him as well.

Trading anything or anyone for Lavines massive longterm contract would be grossly incompetent. I refuse to believe that the warriors would be that stupid.

What if they give us a pick that we can add to a package for Lauri? If he’s a toxic contract we have two large expirings in Klay or Paul that could clear their books and that’s worth compensation

i like Mikal Bridges + DFS for ...JK + moody + wiggins + 2 1st get it done

Klay for LAVINE plus and then trading plus for Lauri would be a massive gm move by mdj. Mdj time to make your mark

Well yes, adding LM makes it more stomachache.

Warriors give Klay, Paul,
2 warriors 1st (plus bulls 1st)... more?

Warriors get Lavine, Marrkenan, THT (expiring)

It will be a sad day when the Markennan dream dies.

Indy has no need for Wiggins with Mathurin and Nesmith on the roster and would probably rather just have Hield's expiring when you factor in that they hope to sign Siakam.

They've been sniffing wiggins for a couple of weeks now. They need big wings for the playoffs.

I think that was feigned interest during the Siakam negotiations.

If Warriors aren't willing to pony up for Siakam...no way in hell they'll trade Kuminga or first rounders for anyone else.

The only move they might make at this point is to fire Kerr.

Brooklyn has some pieces I'd like and they are not doing great

Bulls idea is pretty good Klay or CP3 for Lavine + 1st if there's a follow up

Even if there isn't a follow up I figure a trade like that (expiring for longer contract + pick) is likely the route MDJ goes

What kind of chances would we have agaisnt OKC if Markennan was on the trade table?

Giddey/Wallace/Dieng + full pocket of draft picks

Holgram 21y
Markennan 26y
Williams 22y
Dort 24y
SGA 25y

:lol:

this squad would be NBA champions next year. No one will have a chance against them.

Can we at least go sign god damn Christian Koloko?? No-brainer

He's been out all year with a respiratory issue that the raptors have never released what's going on. I wonder what he's been dealing with... but don't think he will be playing anytime soon.

That being said, if its something the medical experts think he will overcome, I'd love to have the Warriors sign him. Even if we are in a much better place at center with Loon/Trayce/Garuba than we were with Loon/JMG when Goga was available (and much better/healthier than Koloko).
