Fake Trade Thread #7

[JMAC3]

I would prefer to just take whoever falls out of VJ and Ace at this point, trading back sounds really cool but it usually isn't a smart move in the NBA where quality is better than quantity- just ask the Jazz.

If you were them would you rather have Hendricks, Collier, Keyonte, Filipowski and Cody Williams OR #3.

[MasterIchiro]

All this predicates on who goes 3rd. Sam V thinks trade up’s could also be for VJ as much as Ace. Heck maybe Fears is the secret lust factor. But if VJ is 3rd, all hell breaks loose. Hope Jeffie is ready. He and the Nets are at least still kissing cousins. Nets want Ace bad.

Sometimes I forget I live in the South.

Hell shouldn't break lose. It probably will but the easy option is Tre Johnson. If we cant defend we better outscored. Draft Johnson amd Mann comes back healthy. If Miller and Melo are healthy we have alot of natural scoring. We can figure the rest out later. Draft Tre. Its not like Kon is helping out on defense. The narrative that Kon is the Guy over Tre Johnson is absurd if its true on our end.

Trading back to 8 for a couple late firsts (say 8+19+ 27) is definitely something which will be offered to us by Brooklyn.

No way they can make all those picks and they clearly have an interest in getting to the top 5.

What terrifies me is Jeff will think that’s a good idea. And that’s how we end up with Khaman Maluach.

They just added 22, so I think the offer would be 8 + 19 + 22.

That gets them to 6? With Ace and Fears gone before 6, Wizards might bite.

Then maybe they offer 6 + Cam Johnson for 4 + + 2026 1st from eating the Nurkic contract + Mavs 1st 2027 top-2 protected.

Then they're left with 4 + 26 + 27 in this draft (3 picks down from 5) plus 2 extra 1st for future drafts.

I'm just not giving that up for Cam Johnson.

[JMAC3]

Yeah not a fan of trading 3 firsts for a worse first and Cam Johnson

[Bassman]

If the Nets want Ace so badly, how will they hand him the keys to the car with Cam Johnson still there? Both play the same spot.

So yes I think the Nets would deal Cam plus the 8 and an extra first rounder (I’d like 19), ideally sending them Tiddy, Green and NSJ, our 4 and a future pick (Dallas first). What would the Hornets do with pick #8? Well, the very latest ESPN mock has Tre Johnson falling to 8. If he is picked earlier, it could mean Kon falls to 8. I’d want them to select either of them, or Jaku as an alternative to be our back up PG and possible future starter should Melo be traded. Use the 19th pick on a PF like Fleming, Newell or Wolf; OR take a Center with Sorber the hoped for target. IDEALLY trade the 19 plus our seconds to move UP higher in round 1 to get the best big you can.

[KingCat]

My question is what the hell would we or any other team that isn't starting a rebuild right this second do with 3 or 4 rookies if the Nets trade all those picks?

My best guess is keep a few and try to trade some for future assets ?

[KingCat]

If we trade back to 8, while picking up Cam Johnson and Tre does end up falling there, I will bow down to our FO for pulling off the slickest draft move in franchise history.

Someone is gonna need to reach for one of Malauch or Queen for Tre to fall. Kon is much more likely to be there at 8 than Tre.

With reports of Utah liking Fears, it really feels like we are the only team in the top 7 or 8 that might take Kon

Celtics listening on Brown and White.

White is 31 on July 2nd but obviously cheaper.

I'd trade Brandon Miller and a ton of future picks for Brown.

Yeah I just saw that on Get Up.

I think I would take a chance on Jaylen Brown especially if we can keep Melo/Miller he fits perfect with those 2. And he's a rim attacker something we don't really have.


Is Bridges/Nurkic/#4 enough to get them to bite?


Melo
Miller
Brown
?
Mark

I think we could get him without Miller tbh

Bridges is a solid player if you ignore his off court issues, add Nurkic expiring and our #4 pick that is a solid offer imo.

I think the Celtics would move Brown only for 2.

Short of that, Hornets would have to add 4 1st round picks on top of pick 4, Miles and Mark Williams.

Brown is worth far more than Bane.

[Bassman]

Most pre-draft trade activity happens the day of two before. On draft day itself, I remember a couple being rumored or announced around 2 or 3PM. Once or twice a deal shared just before the draft starts.

Brown has a 300mil contract. That seems like a overpay.

[Bassman]

Brown getting traded to Jazz for 5th pick plus lots more per Daniel Judgeaport with The Athletic…BUT…people responding claiming it’s BS.

[JMAC3]

The Celtics aren't moving Brown unless it is for the #1 pick. Why would they? They just saved a bunch of money by trading KP and Holiday, I highly doubt they want to completely gut the team this year and bring Tatum back into a rebuilding situation.

[JMAC3]

Should we trade 33 and 34 for Dalton Knecht tomorrow?
