Like it okay for Phoenix. It's probably bad value, but fills a need for a win now team. Assumes this is leading up to a Jordan trade for the Nets. Will withhold judgement for them until then.

Weird move for Phoenix. Love it for Brooklyn

i guess saric is staying put

Interesting

So is Landry the new backup PG with Payne likely to get some decent offers and many mouths to feed?

It's only a strange move fr PHO if it's their last move. My bet would be they see minutes for Shamet because they're moving someone else

I like it for BRK, Carter's actually a decent backup guard imo and they picked up an asset to facilitate something else.

Shamet seems fine in Phx, not a bad deal for them either.

Sure why not

Brooklyn made a good trade here. Carter is decent as a backup PG plus they get #29.
Shamet is kind of Bryn Forbes or Korkmaz with better marketing.

Shamet has been on good teams the last 2 years and neither time did it feel like a playoff difference maker. Not sure it'll be different in Phx.

Selfishly I think Grayson Allen may have been the choice over Shamet though he's almost a year and a half older ha. Let King K and the Memphis FO use 29 (or 29+40 to move up) and get us another quality young guy.

Some descent defenders around the trio of Carter/Brown. Like it for Brooklyn. Not bad for phoenix but I didn't think Landry would haul in a 1st.

Great trade for Brooklyn.

Shamet is a better shooter than Carter hypothetically but Carter actually has some PG skills and good defense.

#29 is obviously the reason Brooklyn made the trade but there’s a decent chance that Brooklyn got a better player/fit and the pick.

Carter is awesome, but he is not a backup PG. he is a very short three and D wing. Not a good dribbler or passer, but excellent defender and hits open 3s at a high clip.

Like it for Brooklyn. This draft seems so deep that getting an OK 15mpg rookie at 29 isn't outside the realm of possibility--especially when you consider they'll be drafting exclusively for fit.

Yep a guy who would pair very well with a playmaking SG while Kyrie rests

He’s going to be a great fit in Brooklyn alongside their three ball handlers… I really like this trade for Brooklyn.

I don't think anyone sees him as a difference maker in the playoffs - the hope is that he's good enough to eat 20-30 minutes a game, including some time while your stars rest, without getting comprehensively annihilated. Playoff teams need those guys too, and they're rarer than you think.
