Assuming we cant get involved in any 3/4 team deals.....Bruce Brown and Chris Boucher still need to absolutely be traded.

I hope we didn't decline the Clippers trade offer for Boucher for nothing. Asset management is crucial at this time for a rebuilding team

I think the Raptors are doing the Pels a solid and willing to be used as leverage in order to squeeze more out of the Warriors in a potential Ingram trade.

But why would the Raps/Pels do that? Maybe as part of a separate trade between the two sides?

Or maybe I've just gone crazy after days of refreshing this forum

I honestly think Boucher would re-sign for the vet min in the offseason.
He loves playing here and he's already won a ring with us as well.
So do we keep him around? I'd be open to it. He's a solid role player and the guys on the team love him.

Of course, I'd prefer to trade him though.

Blockbuster trades happening everyday and we can't trade Brown, Olynk and Boucher.

Taking on Kusma for 2nds didn't seem bad, crazy how we can't compete with the Bucks for that lol

You’ve gone crazy lol

Pretty much every report is they’re trying to figure out how to reunite Steph & KD and you can bet Silver is on 3way (pause), trying to get that deal done lol

Feels like Middleton's been with the Bucks since forever. He's been there from day one of the Giannis era. Kind of sad to see him go, he looks like a true pro.

I really like Detroit picking up KJ Martin and a couple 2nd rounders in exchange for nothing. He's not a useless player, and getting paid to take him on is a great deal for them.

I assume that Chris will be dealt for a second round pick because it's an easy one to do. I would trade Bruce so long as it doesn't burden the financial picture beyond next season without proper compensation. If he can't be traded in a reasonable deal, I am opposed to buying him out. I would rather try to re-sign him to a much smaller contract for next season, and then look at dealing him when the CBA logistics are easier. The problem with buying him out is that after accounting for draft pick signings and converting Battle to a standard contract, the team could have $30 million under the tax line this summer but only about half that in terms of exemptions by which to use it. So I wouldn't;t be so fast to buy out players we can't trade for reasonable offers. There are plenty of ways to sideline guys, whether its back spasms, a long road back from a concussion, resting us on second days of back to backs. Out older vets can be sat, just as we did last night in the fourth quarter when it was the kids that brought us close to an upset.

I don't understand why people think Olynyk would have any significant value in the trade market.

a 47% 3pt big who can pass, is quite valuable these days

Masai: IQ returning from injury is our trade deadline move. Play-in here we come!

He wasn't when we traded for him.

You know...Jimmy totally **** up what we were planning to do too.

We should be taking advantage of teams in money trouble while we can
