Re: Trade Talk (Part 15): Trade Deadline Day (and onwards!)

Houston’s been so much better without Sengun. He does not mesh at all with Green. I am starting to wonder if Wolves can steal him.

Start of next season (not the opening game, but the first actual day, I think that’s the draft.)

I would add that a team can begin trading again once their season ends, although the NBA discourages teams from making deals when other teams are in the playoffs. Players that are expiring that summer, or could be expirings depending on whether options are exercised, are ineligible to be traded.

Isaac is pretty much just salary, he's a walking injury.
I'd rather just cut out Orlando entirely and even then this trade doesn't give us what we need. Mikal plays the same position as McDaniels and there not a shot in hell he plays behind Jaden.
I don't think this makes sense for anyone.

And not a great locker room guy.

Isaac is great defensively when he plays - it just isn’t often enough.
Mikal Bridges is a good player, miscast as a #1. However, he is probably more valuable as a 3-and-D to virtually any other team. Here you have him coming off the bench (not unreasonable), while he is a clear starter for almost every other team.
I don’t think we’ll see Towns be traded, but if he went to BRK, I think it would be fore all their assets besides Bridges, and they’d try to pair them. If they did include Bridges, I think he’d go to a third team and we’d get “stuff.”

My idea is to replace a superstar Towns AND Anderson with two solid forwards with different skillset:
- Isaac is an elite defender (when healthy). He has been averaging 7 PPG, 4.4RPG, 0.7 SPG, 1.2BPG in 15.4 MPG, on 52%FG, 39% 3PT
- Birdges is a solid scorer and solid defender: 20PPG, 4.6RPG, 3.7APG, on 44%FG, 37% 3PT. While Bridges is not a movement shooter we need, he is a solid scoring option and is not a liability in defense. He is compatible with Miller, Gobert, Reid, McDaniels, Edwards, NAW
Also Isaac has non guaranteed contract for next season (fully guaranteed on 1/10/25), which gives us some flexibility, Bridges has team friendly contract for two next full seasons.
