2023-24 Season: Draft, Trades, and FA Ideas Thread V2.0

[YogurtProducer]

I just don't understand some people's obsession with getting rid of Poeltl. His value to the team is clear.

Id do it if I loved one of those top guys.

Poeltl will be 28 next year and isn’t the difference between us being a playoff team and a lottery team. We’re lottery regardless, maybe play in at best next year.

If we can trade him for a top 10 pick we can add another high level prospect to add to our core rather than keep Poeltl through his prime when it doesn’t change our trajectory

We're tanking (ie. giving a lot of minutes to young guys who would otherwise have trouble seeing the floor) only because of the injuries to Barnes and Poeltl. Absent those injuries, we would be competing for the play in, and will be again next year, with Poeltl, as well as 2 draft picks and whoever we pick up in FA. Our trajectory is already in the right direction, despite the temporary step back we've been forced to take.

Yeah this team full healthy with a training camp might actually be solid. If we luck into a top 3 pick and get a guy who can contribute next year as well that is just a bonus

I’d be surprised.

I think it’s more likely they operate above the cap, but I hope that involves trades of Brown/s&t Gary/boucher than keeping those guys and using exceptions.

He should be in the NBA

Well he's already a Spur, so who is he going to replace?

Was looking to see what options there is out there for a Bruce Brown off-season trade.

The only thing that really would be interesting would be going after Mikal Bridges to pair with Scottie. But that would take Brown as simply salary filler and then throwing like every pick we have at Brooklyn.

Nets missed the boat when HOU offered their picks for him and they declined.

For their own sake hopefully they are not that dumb going forward.

Bridges is a guy I would be pretty comfortable throwing picks at for. 2 more years at an absolute bargain deal

I like Bridges as well, but he's going to be 28 at the end of the year and he's more of a 3rd option on a championship level team. Nets should really be selling high on him or they better have a superstar lined up to play with him.

I hope they take on unattractive contracts for more assets (read: prospects and picks).

I think in the right situation Bridges could be a #2. The only thing is Bridges/Barnes seem like a pretty seemless fit and he also fits a need in our SL as well.

Here's a trade possibility with Houston. The Rockets could benefit from Brown's veteran presence, championship experience, ball handling, defence, versatility, etc. They need to send out $14.5 million to make it work, so that means 2 of Jeff Green, Tate and Landale with their options taken up/salary guaranteed as required. All 3 are expiring or equivalent to expiring, but let's go with Tate and Landale for discussion. To make the deal worth Toronto's while, Houston adds a pick or picks, let's say the Rockets' 25 1st, which likely ends up being swapped with Brooklyn. You can quibble about the pick, but conceptually I think this is a reasonable deal for both sides. I'll be back with other ideas.

Just read that gabe Vincent thinks he could be back this year for lakers. If he comes back and plays solid ball, I think he could be an option for trade for brown and would fit our squad well as a two way backup point guard who can continue to help us with three point shooting and can play in a team system offensively. Definitely, depends on him coming back and proving he’s still a player. 2 years, 22 mil left on his contract after this season.

I see a Quickley/Brown backcourt next season. Barrett will be replacing OG at small foward . Scottie plays power forward and Poetl-Kelly-Jontay have Centre all locked up. Jontay looks like he can play some backup power forward and ditto for Olynyk.

Holes. Athletic power forward depth. Back-up point guard or swing guard depth. Depth at Small forward.

If we do not convey number 6 then much more exciting draft with Castle or Sheppard.

Pacers pick. Small Ford Dillon Jones as Barrett backup.

Detroit pick. Possibly dealt with Chris Boucher to Charlotte for Vasilije Micic.

Centre: Poetl/Kelly/Jontay
Power Forward: Barnes/Nwora/McDaniels
Small Forward: Barrett/Gradey/Dillon Jones
Shooting Guard: Bruce Brown/Gradey/Steph Castle
Point guard: IQ/Vasilije Micic/JFL

Agbaji/Gueye

Brown starting just does not work with RJ and Barnes both also ?'s as shooters. Brown/RJ/Scottie is just the same fit issues as OG/Siakam/Barnes except the new players are worse in every fashion.

I find it much more likely we bring back GTJ than Brown tbh

I think we keep Bruce for sure in the effort of trying to find a '25 1st for him next deadline, even if it's part of a greater overall package. That expiring will be worth more to certain teams in the '25 offseason than it will for us.

Yup. For sure we keep him (ie. pick up his option) and move him, whether on draft weekend, this summer or at the deadline. I think a lot of folks ignore the value of the expiring, whether to clear space the following season, or as matching salary in a larger trade. This is all in addition to his value on the court.

How about Brown and the Pacers pick for a S&T Patrick Williams?
