Trade Ideas, AKA Please God Bring Us Shooters

[spearsy23]

Yeah like every year we don't make anything in the trade deadline and say ''there are going to be tons of great players in the buy out market''

So, like, one year?

is it possible to absorb Wes into the trade exception along with maybe Abrines?

you cannot aggregate a trade exception with any other salary.

Would love to find a trading partner for 2Pat and add a 4 and Matthews as buyouts.

I know, wishful thinking, as I dont even have any ideas who the 4 could be.

We know the Hawks, Cavaliers, Bulls, and Grizzlies are selling their veterans with the zeal of Crazy Eddie. We know the Pelicans have been forced into holding trade talks for a future Hall of Famer; they have also made Nikola Mirotic, Julius Randle and E'Twaun Moore available, sources have told ESPN. We know that Bradley Beal, Kemba Walker, and Otto Porter Jr. probably aren't available, though Porter has drawn preliminary interest over the past few months from Utah, Portland, Dallas, and some other buyers, per league sources.

They would likely deal Terrence Ross for a future asset, though it's unclear if they can snag even a heavily-protected first-round pick for him. (Two second-rounders might end up being the price.)

The Trail Blazers have put their first-round pick in play, per sources around the league. They have investigated Porter's availability. Taurean Prince makes some sense; he's up for an extension this summer, and the Hawks have made him available, sources say. As a free agent non-destination, the Blazers value players whose rights they can control.

But the Hawks are asking a lot so far -- a young player and a pick -- and haven't gotten much traction on Prince trades, sources say.

Another off-the-beaten path name from Orlando: Evan Fournier -- a wing who could give Portland or some other team some shooting and playmaking. He has two years and $34 million left on his contract; if the Magic aren't thrilled with that deal, they could suss out his value.

Some of Miami's veterans on long-term deals once fit this conceit, but most of the guys they'd be willing to move for some relief -- i.e., not Justise Winslow, Josh Richardson or Bam Adebayo -- have underwhelmed. Given their glut of rotation guys -- Wayne Ellington, essential last season, was out of the rotation until recently -- I'd expect Miami to try to recoup at least a second-round pick for someone who isn't playing as much as he'd like.

JaMychal Green, Justin Holiday, and Garrett Temple are all available, per league sources. The Grizz would surely like to recoup at least one of the second-rounders they flipped for Holiday.

Cleveland will keep trying to sell Alec Burks, Rodney Hood and any other indispensable asset until the buzzer. They are willing to take on more dead money for picks.

The Bulls will listen to offers for anyone other than Lauri Markkanen and Wendell Carter Jr., sources say -- and that includes Kris Dunn and Zach LaVine. The biggest question about Chicago going into the season was whether any of their main ball handlers -- Dunn, LaVine, and Jabari Parker when the Bulls were pretending he was a wing -- would emerge as someone who could orchestrate an above-average NBA offense. The answer has been an emphatic no. I would not bet on Dunn or LaVine getting dealt; they are still young, the Bulls would ask for a ton, and they need, like, some guards on next season's team. But any rival enamored with them should call.

I still think the Clippers should at least see what they could get for one of their veterans -- Patrick Beverley, Avery Bradley, maybe even Lou Williams. (They could 100 percent nab a future first-round pick for Williams.) They are making and taking calls like everyone else, but do not appear motivated to do much of anything, sources say.

Nothing on the Thunder at all. But at least we know that some of the guys we've been talking about are available. Even if it's nothing splashy: Say Temple and Portis would sure help us.

Go take a look at the Lakers board. Mass delusion at the highest level.

I'm just glad that Demps has decided to fight back after Johnson or rather LeBron started leaking like hell to LA media.

[Dadouv47]

well you don't start negotiations by giving it all but that was a really low offer

[Balkman32]

Lakers have no time to mess around. I would have started with the godfather offer. Lonzo, Ingram, Kuz, Hart, and a first. Just get it done. This trade gives you the ability to sign a max guy as well. and they will be able to fill their team with buy out guys for the playoffs.

[cjmcallist]

Saw this on the LAL board, not my original idea. But if NO wants to full on rebuild, don’t the Knicks have the best assists now?

2019 frp (drafted for the NOP)
2020 frp
2022 frp
Mavs 2021 frp
Mavs 2023 frp

That might beat even the Celts offer. Pair AD plus two max Free agents?

[JustOneFix]

We got to grab at least one scorer off the bech this deadline. Is it Mirotic, Ross, Hardaway, Hood whatever, i don't care. Somebody has to get in.

I don't want the playoffs with Schroder as basically the only option with Nader being the second one.

Exaclty. If PG13 isn't on fire or if Grant/Ferguson aren't hitting their 3's, we are screwed. We need another option for the bench. Abrines is not good enough

I feel like Felton and a 2nd doesn’t get these players.

[slick_watts]

would orlando do ross for patterson, abrines, and the other half of our 2022 pick protections? i.e. protected for all but the lottery then convey unprotected 2023 1st due to owing atlanta lottery protected 2022 then seconds.

On the trade board? No. In real life I think that has some potential.

I feel like you could get that easily. You might even be able to get them to give up more than just Ross in a deal like this

Maybe some team thinks a de-wormed Abrines might have some value.
