Trade Deadline Rumours & Discussion Thread

[WuTang_CMB]

new threads coming up every day from rumours, podcasts , etc - thought it'd be easier in all in one rather than 15 different threads of the same thing. Not a tank or double down thread - just mainly for reports/rumours on what's going on with us and what the league is saying

16 games until trade deadline including last night vs Charlotte. I guessed our record. I will update after each game.

(17-23)

Jan 10 - Charlotte - W (18-23)
Jan 12 - Charlotte - W (19-23)
Jan 14 - Atlanta - W .... Loss (19-24)
Jan 16 - @ NY - L .... Win (20-24)
Jan 17 - @ Milwaukee - L (20-25)
Jan 19 - @ Minnesota - L (20-26)
Jan 21 - Boston - L (20-27)
Jan 22 - NY - W (21-27)
Jan 25 - @ Sacramento - L ... Win (22-27)

Jan 27 - @ G.S. - L
Jan 28 - @ Portland - L
Jan 30 - @ Phoenix - L
Feb 1 - @ Utah - W
Feb 3 - @ Houston - W
Feb 5 - @ Memphis - L
Feb 8 - San Antonio - W

Feb 9 = Trade Deadline.

7-9 record as per above (24-32). But lets say we get 2 extra wins and go 9-7 instead, we would be (26-30).

To put things in perspective on Feb 9 of last year (deadline was Feb 10), our record was 30-23.

Suns and Knicks have been linked to GTJ in recent weeks.

We need players that can guard bigs without being bullied, players that can guard smalls without getting blown by and shooters/finishers.

We need to figure out if we are re-signing Fred or Gary and ship the one or both we won't.

Bobby it's time to show you're in charge.

Knicks swoop in with a 2 Firsts offer and they can probably have him.

Grimes is the real prize on the Knicks. 6'5, 6'9 wingspan, already a quality defender, shooting splits of 46/37/79.

Apparently Grimes was untouchable in Donovan Mitchell trade talks this past summer...so I doubt he's available.

IRRC it was that the Knicks thought it was too much with all the picks / players they were already giving up in the deal

He might be the prize but they know it. Quickley is more easily attainable and would help with shot creation.

Quickley, Fournier and 1st pick for Trent, Flynn and 2nd pick

I think I'd need a 1st just to take Fournier. He's basically 20M of dead salary this year and next.

Recently, NBA insider Marc Stein reported the Raptors’ guard Gary Trent Jr. is “undeniably” available ahead of this season’s trade deadline and there are already a handful of teams showing trade interest in the sharpshooter.


Both the New York Knicks and Phoenix Suns are two teams that have a level of internal interest in Trent ahead of the deadline, sources close to both organizations tell Fastbreak on FanNation. However, the asking price Toronto for Trent has not been revealed and rival executives believe that the Raptors will be aiming to add immediate draft capital given their recent struggles this season.

New York is a team that is very much looking to upgrade their roster ahead of the deadline and any combination of Evan Fournier, Derrick Rose, Cam Reddish and Immanuel Quickley could be included in a potential deal for the Knicks to add a player of Gary Trent’s caliber. There is a push within the Knicks’ front-office though to keep both Rose and Quickley if possible, sources said.


Should the Knicks aggressively pursue Trent, it would not be a surprise to see the Raptors show interest in a young talent like Immanuel Quickley. New York also has a handful of first-round draft assets over the next couple of years that they can leverage to upgrade their roster ahead of this season’s trade deadline.

Losing nine of their last ten games, including six straight, Phoenix has been struggling without All-Star guard Devin Booker. With Cameron Johnson, Chris Paul and Cameron Payne also missing time lately due to injuries, as well as the fact that veteran forward Jae Crowder remains away from the team amidst his trade request, pressure on James Jones and the Suns’ front-office is growing.


The Suns have been said to have interest in adding another scoring weapon out on the perimeter ahead of the trade deadline and with the ability to move Crowder’s remaining $10.1 million this season, Phoenix could create a path for themselves to acquire a player like Trent in a multi-team deal.

The Sacramento Kings, Los Angeles Lakers and Washington Wizards are other teams who could potentially get in the mix as well to add a key shooter like Gary Trent Jr. out on the perimeter given that all three franchises are looking to make a real playoff push this season. At this time, it is unknown if any of these three teams have immediate interest in trading for the Raptors’ guard.


The Golden State Warriors could also get involved in trade talks for Trent if they wanted to given the possibility of them trading away James Wiseman and another young asset like Moses Moody. The Warriors however have not shown an eagerness to move on from Wiseman just yet and sources have told Fastbreak that they expect the Warriors to hang back from the initial action ahead of the trade deadline and watch what other teams do.

Other players such as Kyle Kuzma (Washington Wizards), Myles Turner (Indiana Pacers) and Tim Hardaway Jr. (Dallas Mavericks) continue to be key names discussed in recent discussions around the NBA, but in reference to the Toronto Raptors, Gary Trent Jr. is the player who’s market could heat up very quickly.


Having an $18.6 million player option for the 2023-24 season, Trent Jr. could make an immediate impact on a team contending for a title this season before weighing his options pertaining to free agency in the summer.

He’s your typical unathletic 3 and D guard. Quickley on the other hand is a guy who can create his own shot which is something we are desperately missing.

Just add more picks ffs. /cry

Sacramento laughs at that offer.

I like it for both teams. Quickley can play and has another year of control before extension

Need another 1-2 picks to sweeten it

I'd rather have an efficient 3 and D guard than an inefficient shot creator.
