Just waiting for someone to try and use this to justify Ainge whiffing on the Hayward deal...

Hayward had basically the same injury in the preseason so that would be an interesting one

I think the Beal trade is for Booker straight up (or near as).

Suns would never trade Booker unless he wanted to leave, he's a Phoenix icon already.

If there was one totally out of nowhere deal... like the Deron Williams to the Nets when all the talk was about Carmelo to the Knicks, who would your guess be? A big name that isn’t commonly discussed?

My guesses and before I get jumped by these teams fans, this is strictly a guess here and the category is inherent that it’s unlikely to happen...

Damian Lillard
De’Aaron Fox
Kristaps Porzingis

What do Clippers need to add to Bev and Morris to get Lowry?

Beal has far and away separated himself from Devin Booker.
The continual underappreciation of Beal is astonishing.

They've never even made the playoffs with him. If he's really untradable because of that, that's pretty rough

I could see a deal for the Mavs, but don't think you'd like it.

If you are talking about Beal and it doesn't involve Luka I'd be hard pressed to not like it I think.

But since you think I won't my guess is it looks something like KP/Johnson/THJ/Brunson/Green/picks/swaps for Beal/Westbrook/whatever spares Washington wants to send back that fit in salary matching.

Something like that?

I just don't see any way for Dallas to provide value for Beal without eating Westbrook. But would love to hear yours if that wasn't the idea.

I actually stopped short of including the Westbrook swap, but do have you eating Bertrans. KP/Green/THJ and the Net's special of all your remaining picks/swaps for Beal/Bertrans.

Edit: actually probably not ALL of your remaining picks/swaps, but most.

Makes sense with Bryant's injury and his ties to the local UMD

Bjelica on the block. Think Monte should of sold high on draft night.

Post #1035 » by **Texas Chuck** » Sat Jan 23, 2021 11:23 pm

Some team should definitely scoop up Bjelica for a couple 2nds.

Might even be thread-worthy but will stick it here for now.

FWIW:

Ball, the fourth-year guard, will enter restricted free agency this offseason. Redick is a veteran player whom contending teams would surely pursue. For now, there isn’t a move imminent for the Pelicans and the franchise has been sifting through other teams placing calls on the two veteran productive guards.

Also:

Atlanta Hawks

Rival teams are monitoring Hawks’ pending restricted free agent John Collins, sources said. Collins, who rejected an extension offer from Atlanta in December, will be among the top big men available in free agency.

Detroit Pistons

New York and the Clippers are among interested teams in Pistons guard Derrick Rose, sources said. Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau has a long history with Rose, coaching the former league MVP in Chicago and Minnesota.

Golden State Warriors

The Warriors and Pelicans discussed a potential deal involving Kelly Oubre Jr., sources said. There isn’t traction as of yet. Like many conversations around this time, it is a scenario.

I don't mind Monte being patient looking for the best deal, but starting to get worried the offers may not be very good.

I want to trade LaVine/future lotto protected CHI 1st for Oubre/Pool/MIN 1st but don't want to get yelled at by both fanbases so I won't post an OP. But I really like the idea of Chicago chasing the chance to draft a real difference maker this year or next and I really like getting another dynamic scorer on the Warriors whose contract might be just small enough for ownership to pay the absurd tax bill on next year.

Plus if you can bring LaVine and Wiggins back together obviously you have to do so. Which is more iconic, KD and Harden together again or this? I think its debatable.
