Official Trade Thread -- Part XXXIII

[NatP4]

We're gonna watch Paul George get traded for a sack of peanuts and we'll just be here thinking, "if only we had that late 1st rounder we coulda pulled off a deal."

Or just kept the pick. The value of that pick is much higher now than it was at trade deadline. Aren't there a lot of guys you'd like to take at 22?

Man I forgot how high our pick was. 22??? That's like borderline lottery.

I swear I already know how this goes. PG goes for a **** deal like that lakers deal and we just watch and miss out on the piece that would change everything.

If we find out that we didn't offer atleast Oubre and two 1sts, I will turn in my Wizard fan card.

And yeah I'm still holding out to see what McCullough does in the NBA (even though we all know that Ernie had no clue who the guy was when he made the deal) but the Bojan for Nicholson and our mid 1st round pick was just awful in retrospect. McCullough does have nice length and athletic ability with a solid 3pt shot. Who knows

Huh? Borderline lottery. It's closer to the 2nd round than the lottery.
22 is also a mediocre spot in this draft. This draft looks good up until the mid teens, as well as great depth from 35 - 50. But 20-30 looks about standard to any draft if not weaker.

There is a reason you are hearing about teams in that range trading that pick for players, a package to move up, or to move down and gain picks.

Also: we could've moved that 1st rounder plus Oubre for Eric Bledsoe

Definitely wish we had the 1st still, but where would bledsoe play? A super expensive 6th man? Or are you sliding beal to 3 and porter to the 4?

Yep, he's getting moved tonight or tomorrow forsure. No idea who the front runner is.

Clips don't have assets

Rockets best asset(Capela) plays same position as Myles Turner

Portland apparently didn't impress with their offer

Cavs seemed to be out of it.

Lakers situation is really confusing, no idea

Spurs no emerging

Wizards have been rumored to be in on PG, but no other reports

Twelves interested now

Our best offer PG, if Mahinmi, 1 or 2 firsts and kelly or tomas. And by best I mean the most appealing deal that also makes the most sense for our team going forward. If they don't take that then move on.

I would honestly like to see mahinmi and a first to the 76ers and a deal to get their top 3 second rounders. (1 mill or 1.5 mill a piece, Over pay to dump mahinmi and pick up some young talent in a deep ass draft.

Paul George is "the piece that would change everything"??? That's cracked.

You want to give away two more R1 picks & our 2015 R1 pick for him? Which would mean the last guy on our team whom we picked R1 of a draft would be Otto from 2013. & the only others would be Wall & Beal. You think you can build a team that way?

The Bojan trade wasn't "awful in retrospect." It was awful right when we made it -- as I & only a couple of others here said. As was the trade for Morris. & here you are wanting to make another awful trade! Wow.

[mhd]

WOW!!!! Jimmy Butler close to being traded to Minny for 7+Lavine+Dunn

Pif you like the build and I get that, I do, but we were a good team this year so on some level some of that stuff EG did stupid or not worked. Im not defending him, im not. Wall is in his prime you have brad and otto in place, you can't blame a dude for going for it now, you can blame him for doing it with incomitance. I don't have a problem trading away some picks if you do it right, You have to pay to get, yes you can draft guys but there are no guarantees in the draft. I hated that mike miller trade it was stupid, Morris I was ok with he was a young player on a good deal, Gortat I could live with, Bogz i still think was worth it cuz you have to fix that mistake, Same reason im fine with trading away a pick to move mahinmi. yes I agree those mistakes should have never been made but I want to move forward. You have to play in the bed you make, if you don't you have to pay for a new bed. I know you don't agree with this line of thinking and that's fine, we just have different opinions, and I definitely understand and respect yours !

[ClutchDJ]

Garpax rivalring Ernie as the worst GM in the league.

[gambitx777]

Jimmy butler went for that..... Why is he not with boston .. . . they could have beaten that deal, Hell we might have been able to beat that deal. ****. 3 way trade with us philly and portland might happen.
Wiz : PG 3 second round picks from the 76ers (1.5 mill per pick)
Portland gets, Tomas 2019 and 2021 from wiz.
Philly gets mahinmi and 2018 second.

Not too much worse than that butler trade.

Agreed. I love Bledsoe, but you can't pay a bench player that kind of money. You need to have your best 5 players on the court at the same time in crunch time and that's difficult to do when 3 of them are guards.

I just want to hear that we're TRYING to get someone like PG. Even if we strike out. Just try.

[mhd]

Wade for Mahinmi+Sato+future 1st?

Wade actually would help us as a combo guard off the bench. We dump Mahinmi as well.

No way am I giving a first for wade I would offer mahinmi and tomas. Thats all im offering. maybe a second.

[Meliorus]

Wizards shoulda tried to get into the Butler trade. That was a weak offer, and they said that was the best offer they got.

[mhd]

The bulls have a plethora of PGs now. Dunn isn't getting traded. After that, they have Grant (who I like), Payne, Rondo, and Cannon. All those guys would be better than Frazier IMO.

[gambitx777]

Load up a mahinmi rondo trade Lets go! YOu can still cut him and only pay 3 mill till june 31st.
