Memphis - Sacramento - Atlanta - Dallas 

Post#1 » by Godaddycurse » Thu May 1, 2025 9:47 pm

Sacramento trade: Derozan
Sacramento receive: Clarke, Martin

Memphis trade: Clarke, 2nd(s)
Memphis receive: fake 2nd

Atlanta trade: 2nd(s)
Atlanta receive: Gafford (into TPE)

Dallas trade: Gafford, Martin
Dallas receive: Derozan, 2nd(s) from ATL + Memphis

Why for Sacramento: add 2 defensive forwards
Why for Memphis: clear room for JJJ reneg
Why for Atlanta: fill C hole
Why for Dallas: add a scorer and restock 2nds cupboard

I see Clarke as a limited backup center, can't imagine he can play next to Sabonis. I'd just cut the other teams out and add the 2nds from Sac. Then move JV for other needs.

I don't dislike him, but if the option is Gafford - a few 2nds or him, I'm taking Gafford.

Now if we could turn Martin into Naji using those 2nds + some sac 2nds, I'd be fine with Clarke. And I'd still be okay turning JV into Vando. Kings need significant defensive overhaul, it's going to take multiple pieces.

Sabonis/Clarke
Naji/Vando
Keegan/Laravia
LaVine/Monk
Keon/Carter

Not my favorite, but that's at least a start to something for next year. 7/10 can play defense.

Sac should be trying to get Pippen in the deal.

What we saw from Memphis is that Clarke is an underrated rotation player for them, unless they rebuild, I see them keeping him.
Defense wins draft lotteries!
