Trade Speculation Thread II

[contract]

Not seeing much we could get for Ellington and Mcbob package. Have to seek a team with an abundance of cap space like Utah. I know Hayward and Mcbob train together in the off season. Maybe Utah looks to reunite them. Maybe a reason for Hayward to stick around in Utah

Spoiler:

Watch on YouTube

We're crippling Ellington's trade value by attaching McBob ... and he doesn't have much value to begin with.

Potential that never materialises > Solid, decent player.

That's the way picks work.

It's like buying a lottery ticket, you do it even though your chances of winning are less than your whole neighbourhood being wiped out rather than put that little money into a college account each week for 18 years.

The reason is simply - you don't get chit for being mediocre.

The goal of NBA basketball is winning the ship, and you ain't winning it with "solid, decent players".

This means you have to take gambels at times, you can't settle for an ok team with no upside.

To go with your methaphore - it's like saving 2$ a week when your end goal is buying a 500,000$ house. You're never going to get there without making a drastic change.

Someone start the new thread. This one is full.

Get real HIF. Mcbob's fans base is emptier then goodboy's DMs.

I think you'll get a lot more+1's than I will.

Who said being a fan was logical?

Exactly. Solid decent players are a dime a dozen, and can be had at any time.

McBob needs to grow back his beautiful flowing golden locks. Its hurting his trade value.
Babbitt needs to get that head of hair of his back too.

If Riley can get an Ellington-McRoberts deal done today, I'll bow down to him.

Ellington is a very good player, but we have enough guards and if you tell me that we will go into the offseason with 12M more in cap space, with a total of 54M available behind Whiteside, Dragic, Winslow, Tyler J., J.Richardson, Haslem, McGruder, White and one or 2 rookies from the Draft, I'll bite your hands off.

We could then resign Waiters and James Johnson for 25M the first year, and still have 29M to sign either a whale or a few very, very good players in the offseason.

And if Riley can't convince any GM to take McRoberts, I hope he still trades Ellington for Terrence Jones and a second rounder.

Ellington doesn't really need to be traded. We have a team option for him. It is at a great value though, given how the market is so inflated now.

this is where we can disagree. You need some solid foundations to either trade or entice the stars to come.

To go with your metaphore - you save the $2 a week for and by the 18th year you have enough for the deposit on that house you wanted.

Come on Riles. 4 hours to make us pull our todgers out.

And while you may not be winning a championship, would you rather watch a team win 50 games a year or lose 50 games a year? It's a pretty easy choice for me.

Ellengiton positive value negates Mcbob's negative value.

It's truly a bueatiful harmony of balanced chit.

[J-House]

NBA is in a weird place. Role players getting near max deals and teams trading for bench players using 1st round picks. What a time to be alive.

And riley doing nothing.

Who'd a thunk it?

In what country?

[Heat_Fan_87]

we have been able to produce some nice role players recently, need to get that #1 guy and give ourselves a nice big window.

[RexBoyWonder]

Sometimes doing nothing is better then doing stupid chit.

We're hunting Whales with our bare hands here. You better hope we don't actually bump into one.
