Brought this up in another thread, but figured it might use its own

Huerter, Barnes, Portland 2nd for Bruce Brown, Boucher, McDaniels

Why for Toronto? They add some solid vets on lighter contracts than Brown. Both of them are 38% 3pt shooters for their careers and fit in nicely as they continue to develop the young studs. Get to dump McDaniels while adding a high 2nd.

IQ - Huerter - Barrett - Barnes - Poeltl
Dick - Agbaji - Barnes - Olynyk + #6/19

Why for Sac? The team gave up way too many big leads this year. Focus next year needs to be to take a leap defensively. We had a nice leap from Keegan, and finding Keon has helped a ton, but we need to keep going. We have had some success lately with our small ball lineups so we commit to that.

Fox - Keon - Brown - Keegan - Sabonis
Mitchell - Monk* - McDaniels - Lyles - Boucher

I’m not a fan of trades that make Keegan a full time four and doesn’t bring in a clear third star.

I agree with this, although I do think there is a trade to be made here.


I’ve thought about a 3 way trade with the Jazz where:

Sacramento gets John Collins and Bruce Brown

Toronto gets Harrison Barnes + POR ‘25 2nd

Utah gets Huerter + either Duarte/Mitchell




This is Sacramento basically using a 2nd to swap out Huerter+Barnes for 2 defensive oriented vets in Brown+Collins.

Jazz dumps Collins for a more manageable asset in Huerter. Hendricks + Markannen cover the PF spot.

Toronto fill their forward slot + get a 2nd.
