Trade Deadline Thread 2/6/25

[Jester_]

Jimmy Butler probably makes this current Warriors team much much better tbh.

Significantly. People here are high when it comes to Jimmy.

He was in the playoffs 2 years ago putting up prime Jordan performances over like 25 games. He is an absolute monster.

And y'all don't want to trade Wiggins for him?? Delusional.

If he is willing to sign an extension, trade would have been done already and take the risk if it works or not.

No way Dubbs pay Wiggins, JK, others, and at least 1 pick for 2 months rental.

Are you saying you want a 2 month rental for that asking price?

I don't think a pick has to be there... maybe a 2nd. Miami doesn't have much choice

I also don't think Jimmy turns down his player option. nobodys gonna give him anywhere close to the extension he's looking for imho

What is the most annoying thing is they stopped pursuing Zach Lavine so they can go big fish hunting instead of getting Intel on whether this players actually want to come here. Dumb and Dumb. Wasted so much time and opportunity just for the players to say no.

that's a bad thing? Zach Lavine coming here would be the nail in the coffin of this franchise

Even if no 1st. Dubbs already backed out. Don't doubt Nets and Butler. He will get a new contract... say 3 - $120 mil. Bet you Nets will pay him to trade him for picks later.

I rather see the Suns get schooled and do the Durant deal and suck more than Dubbs.

So we are spending our time going after KD who didn't want to come here (obviously) and Jimmy who said he wouldn't sign here?

We are definitely ending up with Vucevic. Let's just hope we get Phillips or Terry as well so there is some sort of rebuilding piece included.

Didn't want to play with the Warriors....or Draymond?

In either case, Warriors look idiotic if they didn't check in with Durant at the VERY beginning.

Disappointed but Ingram and Vuc, if that's who we ultimately land, is still a talent upgrade for this team but only if we don't have to trade starters to get them.

I want that Vuc/Cody White rumor. Just useless/expiring parts and hopefully just 2025 1st.

That is enough to win play in and rethink for next year.

The Dubs just need to stick with what they got because I don't think any trade will upgrade this team significantly.

I don't want Butthead on this team. All we need is an old guy that can't run the Warriors offense and sleepwalks through the regular season

Would rather warm up the coals on a Cam Johnson trade than Ingram.

Maybe Cam and take a look at Zaire Williams.

Me 2nd. I was so happy he wasn't willing to resign and killed the trade. Imagine the madness if we got him for multiple years.

Right now, worse case is Kobe good bye tour for Curry for a few more years.

DUBS FRONT OFFICE, DON'T PANIC AND GRAB ANYONE.

[whatisacenter]

Trade expirings for future seconds, get under the luxury tax and plan for next season.

Get in the draft lottery.

Play Post as much as you can on his two-way and sign him in the offseason if he looks like a long-term rotation big.

[Upperclass]

Butler is headed to the Warriors. It's clear the Lakers knew.

Enjoy chip #5

[BayAreaDub]

One more trade please

[Crazy-Canuck]

Pelinka just got his future big to pair with Luka. They gave up future picks, but with Luka, it isn't as risky.

Lakers looking tough. The get better and younger at the same time.

[Crazy-Canuck]

Raptor just got Ingram for expirings. Dang.

[GS Warriors 1]

Mark Williams is talented, but he's been hurt a ton.

[Crazy-Canuck]

I would much rather have gotten Ingram for our expirings instead of Jimmy.

Ingram is much younger, can produce a the number 2, and wint cost as much in an extension.

[BayAreaDub]

MDJ should poke around at a last minute Dray/JK for Zion trade. Can flip Dray somewhere and JK can command the tank in NO.

Ingram is a top 100 player Butler is a top 20. There is no comparison really
