Trade Deadline Rumours & Discussion Thread

[Duffman100]

It seems like the same articles including the same names are just rehashed every few days, just by different reporters.

Almost as if no one has any idea and our FO, as always, is incredibly tight with information.

Tight, and not necessarily decided on a course yet. The deadline is still over three weeks away. (I'd laugh if we end up buying, not selling.)

I am undecided on Suggs for a first (could be worth it) but I do not want Cole Anthony AT ALL. He would ruin this team.

Fair: I haven’t seen much of him, just figured he’s the guard you can get from the magic without picks being attached.

I think what's missing in all of this is that the Magic can just sign him outright instead of doing a sign and trade.

Yes, of course. My point was not around a FVV trade but how much I hate Cole Anthony lol.

throw this into trade deadline thread

Yeah didn't need its own thread, especially being so vague and hedging its bets in all directions.

[djsunyc]

imho, our best trade partner is charlotte. they def want talented players and have all their picks (i think).

og + thad for hayward + 2 unprotected frp's and 1 or 2 swaps.

[HumbleRen]

So basically it means, they’re going for the play in lol.

[Quattro]

I love how vague this is.

Please don't deal our 1st rounder this year...

It’s Jake Fischer. He specializes in vague BS

Any interest in Jalen McDaniel from the Hornets?

What would the Raptors look for in return for Trent? One inkling: Toronto has shown interest in Hornets forward Jalen McDaniels, sources said. Charlotte’s fourth-year forward would fit the same bill that Trent did two years ago. He’s set to reach unrestricted free agency this summer, where teams are projecting McDaniels to command a far lower salary than Trent — roughly $10 million per season — in the ballpark of the full non-taxpayer mid-level exception.

He's also 6'9

Good call, merged.

Shams also said the Suns and Magic have emerged as potential free agent suitors of VV.

Nothing really new. Just a rehash of the names we've heard before the season.

Suns would have to work some cap magic if they want to simply sign FVV this summer.

Slashing Chris Paul's partially guaranteed contract won't be nearly enough. They'd have to dump other contracts.

Or they could shove Ayton down our throats in a sign and trade.

This was my first thought too about the Suns, unless they're thinking more of a S & T.

I don't know how we define buying. If we are not giving up our pick, are we buying?

I think ORL or DET could give VV the bag in the offseason and both teams can sign him outright. I doubt either team wants to be bad for much longer so they might target some vets with their cap space.

Masai is right about OG. You keep him but you only move him for a Murray like package.

I could see the Kings calling.. would love to rip off Stauskas

Charlotte is among the worst teams in the league. I don't think they have any incentive to make a win now move. They should stay the course and sell guys like Rozier, Plumlee and Oubre. Under no circumstance should they give an unprotected first.

I like him. Good size, versatile defender, solid shooting splits. Only problem, he needs to be paid immediately so he's not cheap for much longer.

[traps#10]

I would want Suggs and Bamba at least if we are trading FVV to the Magic.

[WuTang_CMB]

Gary is as good as gone.

OG + Flynn for other Murray (Keegan), Davion Mitchell and Holmes and picks

Yep.
