Portland-Dallas-Memphis

Post #1 » by **Mamba4Goat** » Mon Oct 7, 2019 4:24 am

Portland sends: Bazemore, 2020 1st (top 15 for 3 years then 2 2nds)
Portland receives: Kyle Anderson, Crowder, Dallas 2021 2nd

Dallas sends: Justin Jackson, Lee, 2021 2nd
Dallas receives: Bazemore

Memphis sends: Kyle Anderson, Crowder
Memphis receives: Justin Jackson, Lee

Why for Portland? They get 2 guys that could potentially be their starting forwards and help a ton with depth and versatility. They do give up a 1st which is rare, but they at least get a 2nd back.

Why for Dallas? They get a startable wing to pair with Luka who could guard the better wing in matchups for scraps.

Why for Memphis? Take a flier on Jackson, and add a 1st to their treasure chest for 2 guys that may not fit their timeline (Crowder may be a good locker room guy worth keeping around and i think they love Anderson so it may not happen anyways even if it's a good price.)

IMO you're wildly overrating Bazemore here. He's a mediocre backup. He's not startable unless you're desperate (or tanking/rebuilding). At this point Jackson's probably the better player or at least as good (as is Lee if he can get back healthy).

I can't see Dallas doing their part of this.

Then it's EC filler (what Memphis would view Bazemore as) + 1st (why not lotto-protected, nobody does top-15) for extra quality forwards. Maybe Memphis sends one of their own 2nds back instead to get a 1st.

I don’t think Portland gives up a first for that.

Maybe for iggy and Crowder, and only if they are looking very strong at the deadline.

No idea why should Memphis seriously consider this trade

Dont think Dallas should have to add any value to turn Lee into Baze. Both suck, Lee more so, but he's cheaper, so it evens out in that respect. Adding jackson and a 2nd just doesnt make any sense.

Pretty much where I am. If Bazemore was bigger, you might could take me into Lee+a 2nd for him, but as is, my interest would only be if the cost was money only. I think for Jackson and a 2nd we could probably pry free Crowder who would make more sense.

This. Crowder and Anderson have value. Why for Memphis?

I assume the first PDX is sending out is supposed to go to MEM. It's basically the same deal I and others have proposed for Iggy and Crowder (Baze and a first, also needs one small outgoing salary like Trent or Skal) but with Anderson swapped in. Not sure it makes as much sense for Memphis in that version, and not sure it adds anything to bring Dallas in.

Undo the Rondo trade!

Maybe my biggest crow eating ever from this board was how giddy I was the day the Mavs traded for him. I thought he addresses our biggest need and we might could be a 2nd round team one more time with Dirk. Then he totally broke the offense and quit on the team while turning Monta against the franchise in the process.

But hey we keep giving Dwight Powell big contracts so there's that?
