Bucks News, Trades, Transactions - CP3/Gallo trade idea pg.81

[emunney]

My company provides product for services all the time (granted our price points are in the thousands). We've had a video submission contest with non-cash prizes, we've had photo submission contests we used in our catalog for merch too. We have passionate customers/fans who are more than willing to do work for exposure and product, that's essentially how influencer/ambassador programs work. Yea there are plenty that are paid, but even more that aren't. I see nothing wrong with having that type of contest, if you don't want to do the work then don't enter, that simple. It's just they handled it like an idiot.

Sorry man, but unless everyone that submits is getting compensated then your company is exploiting designers. Unpaid spec work and promises of "exposure" are bs. Glad Bucks Gaming got dragged for this.

Imagine trying to float this with literally any other profession.

Not sure what the appropriate location is for this is.

Would you trade Khris Middleton for the Corpse of Chandler Parsons and Jabari Parker?


Trade is successful after Jan. 1.

Haha. Absolutely not.

[GHOSTofSIKMA]

I don't see how asking for submissions via twitter for artistic work or pictures in the form of a contest doesn't immediately trigger the assumption that they were targeting FANS who that kind of thing as a HOBBY would view their submissions as just something fun to do with their time in support of the team.

do professional graphic designers and paid artists typically feed themselves off contests and leads from twitter? serious question here.

if Bembry was also apart of the package somehow absolutely

[blazza18]

Dumping Midds should only happen if one of the other top 5 players is coming to play with Giannis.

In the bin labeled "Horrible trade ideas"?

[jute2003]

Exposure as compensation is almost always worthless. Any established business that uses the promise of exposure as payment for anything is predatory...just because people are stupid or naive enough to fall for it doesn't mean it's not bull.

someone will bite on CP's latest performance

The problem isn't his talent, someone would've already bit on that. The problem is putting together an offer of near $40 million that doesn't completely gut a team is almost impossible.

[SirChurros]

Would you guys sign Jamal Crawford on the cheap? I get that he's old and useless defensively, but our bench looks inept offensively sometimes.

Understand the sentiment in needing more offensive creation, but no thanks on Crawford specifically. Not a Bud fit and too big a liability on defense. He’s going to kill it in the BIG3 for the next like 20 summers though.

We've got a $32mm salary slot. I'd monitor the situation between now and year-end.

Philly may pull the trigger first, if they have some worthwhile asset to add along with Tobias.

So the sixth best player is out?

[Prez]

Haven’t been watching much Kings basketball this year but just looking at some recent numbers it looks like the price for Bogdan is probably not headed in a good direction for us. Feels like our roster even at full strength is still one more 16 game starting wing away from real title contention.

Roco is another name but not sure why Minny would trade him, might be something to revisit later. The more I try to think about the available SG/SFs who could put us over the top the more I’m bummed out about Malcolm

[LuessiT]

I'm starting to get the feeling that surrounding Giannis with elite shooters with 4 point range first and foremost is the wrong approach. Instead we should try to focus on capable shooters that are multipositional plus defenders. That means Jrue Holiday over Klay Thompson. Or Miles Turner over Lauri Markkanen. You get the picture.

[Prez]

Did not know it was this good, but Bucks starters with Khris/Wes on the wing is the best 5 man lineup with 100+ min in the league, +22.5 net rating. Dying to see what that would look like with a Wes upgrade out there.

I think you can do a mix. I lean toward the well-rounded guys as well but being a sniper from deep makes you passable immediately.

Here's an attempt at a non-Bledsoe, non-Middleton, MKE/MIN/OKC deal.

MKE out:
DJ Wilson - $2,961,120
Wesley Matthews - $2,564,753
Dragan Bender - $1,678,854
IND '20 1st
Total = $7,204,727 + $5M = $12,204,727

MKE in:
Robert Covington - $11,301,219
Naz Reid - $898,310
Total = $12,199,529

MIN out:
Jeff Teague - $19,000,000
Gorgui Dieng - $16,229,213
Robert Covington - $11,301,219
Naz Reid - $898,310
Total = $47,428,742

MIN in:
Chris Paul - $38,506,482
DJ Wilson - $2,961,120
Wesley Matthews - $2,564,753
Deonte Burton - $1,416,852
IND '20 1st
Total = $45,449,207

OKC out:
Chris Paul - $38,506,482
Deonte Burton - $1,416,852
Total = $39,923,334

OKC in:
Jeff Teague - $19,000,000
Gorgui Dieng - $16,229,213
Dragan Bender - $1,678,854
Total = $36,908,067

Bucks get a multiple-position defender and 3-pt threat in RoCo, as well as a project in Naz. Billionaires with a B put their money where their mouth is and take us into the tax.

Wolves go all-in and add CP3, while also bringing back rotation players in Wesley & DJ and netting a 2020 1st rounder.

Thunder largely get off of CP3's albatross and remain competitive.
