2019-2020 Trade Deadline Thread

[retrobro90]

Anybody see that reddit post today that got deleted about some guy who is "friends with the son of one of our front office people?" Obviously it's the internet but SUPPOSEDLY there was a whiteboard type situation detailing a few things about goals/potential deals surrounding this year's deadline. Guy said a three team deal was outlined with Derozen to GSW, LMA + other stuff to OKC, Adams + other stuff to SAS. There were other details about SGA/Bazley being "untouchable" etc but I can't remember everything from the post. Probably nothing but this time of year is kind of all about speculation

DeRozan to Golden State makes no sense. I know he has a player option for 2020-2021 so the Warriors wouldn't be tied to him long-term. But why even bother renting him for a year? They're clearly more interested in securing a top 3 draft choice this season.

It’s still up.

Okc also supposedly interested in Randle, Monk, Giles.

I don’t think it makes sense either, but I think it says more about Russell actual value around the league.

If we can get j randle I am fine with that he is young can play the pf and center spot in small lineups harry giles too, malik monk is ok but he is another undersized comboguard maybe beasly from denver only problem next year he is a free agent, the same with bogdanovic from kings please not LMa

I hope that rumor is fake.

John Hollinger of The Athletic-

Oklahoma City – The one NBA player who is most likely to be traded within the next week is Justin Patton. With the Thunder a mere $750,250 into the tax and Patton’s deal non-guaranteed, the stars are not aligned in the young center’s favor. By emulating the Houston move enumerated above and paying another team to take Patton and waive him, the Thunder could promote 2-way player Luguentz Dort to get the roster back to 14 and then sign another 2-way, and stay under the tax. As with Gary Clark above, Patton could only be acquired by one of the nine teams with workable trade exceptions, or by the Hawks via cap room.

the hornets are trash, let's go swindle a deal for Miles Bridges

[jambalaya]

Miles Bridges has the very worst RPM estimate in the league at -5.4.

RPM estimates are not always accurate because of context and randomness but this a cautionary indicator calling for further study.

The raw on / off is massively negative. -20 total / 100 possessions, terrible on offense & defense.

Clearly they are not using him well. His was better last season. Acquiring him would be a lot acquiring Nader and Luwawo-Cabborot. A gamble on being able to fix.

If you could trade Dre's contract for one of the following who would it be and why?

Jae Crowder
Robert Covington
Bogdan Boganovic
JJ Redick
Langston Galloway
Patty Mills

I would think that most would lean towards adding a wing. But, I think adding a PG would be fascinating. With the success of the 3 guard lineup, bringing in Mills would allow the team to run it even more. I just wonder if we could get the Spurs to make an in-season trade especially one where they aren't making themselves better.

Does Drummond have more value to Atlanta than Adams? Atlanta seems to have plenty of offensive firepower. Drummond is a bit lazy at times. Adams would be a better fit in my opinion.

I think that everyone from that list is ok if detroit break their team maybe drose, I think that the only pieces we can give are muscala, roberson,j patton , second round picks and maybe t ferguson if we are gettin a young player and I am okay of giving picks if we can get another young player like Shai that play the 3 or 4

Bogdanovic is a free agent next year and the price will be high, jj other teams will try to get him and covington everyone is superhigh on him the wolves will want a lot for sure. Mills maybe that way the younger spurs guards will play more, galloway and drose are ok specially rose and jae crowder and beasley

Agree but think Drummond is cheaper. Presti is probably asking way too much for Adams.

[thor19]

If you can choose, would you trade gallo and get more picks or keep the team and start using the picks we have to try to get another good young player like shai, another possible star maybe superstar guys like ingram, tatum , brown , randle?

Why wouldn't both be an ideal option? Trade Gallo for more picks AND move assets for a young player that a team is willing to move. The problem is finding a team willing to trade a player that good for picks that do not project to be top 10. NOLA isn't moving Ingram. Boston isn't giving up Tatum or Brown. Randle isn't worth acquiring. Embiid is complaining, but I don't think the 76ers will move him.

I can't think of a young player I would target that I think their team would give up that would be expected to be your 1a/b with SGA. SGA was only acquired because Paul George was involved. Gallinari, as an expiring, isn't going to get you that. CP3 isn't going to get you someone that good. Teams with top picks that are potential star players are not looking to trade that player for a few picks because they are rebuilding and want to keep the player unless they think they will bust. It isn't like OKC has a bunch of projected top 5 picks. While I think the Houston picks end up being good and the LAC picks could end up good depending on what happens most front offices are not going to take the chance on them for a top prospect.

I'd make a phone call about Darius Garland, Coby White, Cam Johnson, Alexander-Walker, Herro, Bitadze, Kevin Porter Jr., Kabengele, Knox, Miles Bridges, Aaron Holiday, Lonnie Walker, Anfernee Simons, Michael Porter Jr., Justin Jackson and others. It doesn't mean I'd give up 3 first round picks for any of them, but at least see who was actually an option for a late first. OKC can't offer their own first until 2024. Their draft capital is so far in the future that trading picks for quality young players is unlikely. Their best chance is a team that likes Gallo to be offering a young player OR be able to give up the right asset combination to get one. I don't expect OKC to do much over the next month. I expect Gallo to get traded which will add another pick or two to the war chest and get them out of the tax. Maybe get a small return for Schroder and possibly trade CP3 if a good offer comes along. I don't expect anyone else significant to get dealt. Throwing in someone like Burton or Nader to balance a trade would be irrelevant. I do not expect Adams to get traded.

[ThunderBolt]

Lonnie walker is a guy that I’m sure isn’t available but I love him. Pop has had him long enough to refine him a bit. The only semi-realistic scenario I see is that pop gets aggressive to win now in the twilight of his career. That being said, he would want veterans. I dont know that gallo and Adams are what he wants for a guy like walker. That’s kind of my realistic (but not really) trade dream.

Portland is going to get so far back in the standings they can’t recover. Denver needs to make a move to improve but Porter is rumored to be untouchable. I would love to get another young guy to go along shai but on the surface there just doesn’t seem to be much available.

Gallo thanos-ing out?

[jambalaya]

Some probably gettable. might be worthwhile minor sounding acquisition names (ensemble guys who could get better / more important with some time): Boucher, Kenrich Williams, Nwaba. D Melton, Cody Martin.
