Re: Trade Deadline Discussion & Rumours - Raptors and NBA
That seems like a pretty big price to pay for LeVert. It gives them another (inefficient) scorer, but it doesn't make them noticeably better on its own. I wonder if they have any more moves up their sleeves to go for it.

Re: Trade Deadline Discussion & Rumours - Raptors and NBA
No way we were giving up a first for Levert. He's got talent but he never had the one year where he showed that in the the perfect system he can be efficient that would tempt us, I think. Also 27 and injury prone both seem like red flags in terms of us parting with a 1st.
Where's the D?

I’d still be surprised if the Suns moved him this season. He’s a good security big for their playoff push.

Re: Trade Deadline Discussion & Rumours - Raptors and NBA
There were the rumours that we enquired about Robert Williams. I don’t think the Celtics trade him and I know the arguments against pursuing that type of player….but damn I’d still love it if we could get a player like him. Lol

Pacers got a good return for LeVert.

I’m still nervous about us pursuing Turner. I like him and all, but I just don’t think he fits our switchable philosophy this year.

With Rubio being dealt, I guess Goran is the last big expiring left for teams looking to dump salary?

Yup. Agreed.
Who knows what direction we’ll take at the center spot, but I do like the idea of trying to add another athletic that can slot in with the switching. I love watching how disruptive it can be. Especially when Banton is in as well. Absolute havoc.

But I agree, I would not give up a first round pick and just try to get a guard off the bench maybe. We need more low cost players on the roster. Our starting 5 is already going to be extremely expensive.

i'd rather trade dragic to the knicks for burks + scraps, get a little more room under the cap and then sign ibaka once he is bought out.

If we were to get turner/or any starting Center .. without losing a starter … does Scottie then come off the bench ? Or turner/Nurk ? I don’t think it would be anyone else honestly

Jalen smith from phx
Wonder if we make a play for him and if they want dragic
Might work for both teams if we can make salarys match

Re: Trade Deadline Discussion & Rumours - Raptors and NBA
Now that Brooklyn is falling apart, is there really anyone that we should be worried about in the East? We can go toe-to-toe with Miami, Milwaukee, and Chicago. At this point, a heavily protected first-round pick and maybe a young prospect like Flynn and Dragic's expiring should be offered for Myles Turner. Is there a better offer out there at the moment? Charlotte could beat that package but maybe not? What else could we throw in to sweeten the deal?
