2023 Trade Deadline Thread: Conley/VanVleet/Lowry/etc. (Updated thread)

[madmaxmedia]

Cmon get a big man!

I imagine they are working the phones on at least 2-3 different scenarios right now, trying to hunt the best trade...which is absolutely what they should be doing, as long as they don't come away empty-handed at the end.

The EG trade has got to be a tip to something else they are working on. Wall is gone, I am guessing Big Government is gone too.

if this is it

this ain't it

I don't like the pick swap for EJ, but it is what it is

Too quiet again.

Gotta be a big man in coming. Pretty please.

So here's an interesting tidbit on EJ's non-guaranteed next year-

2023-24: non-guaranteed, fully guaranteed for All-Star team or 500 min (reg)/750 (reg/playoffs) + HOU Championship (@Wojnarowski) (@BobbyMarks)

Does that roll to the Clippers, or still dependent on Houston winning a title?

[clipperlover]

Apparently, Gordon's contract becomes fully guaranteed next year if his team wins the NBA Championship. He will be MOTIVATED.

And now it makes sense. Like we probably lose ground to the Suns and Mavs, but at least we did what we could with what we got.

We kept our 1st, which can be packaged with another 1st and Morris expiring in the offseason.

As great of a shooter Luke is, he passes up WAAAAAAAAY too many shots when that's all he was out there for. Sends the offense in a scramble when he passes up looks

Said this yesterday. Not sure why people are upset over Luke. He doesn't shoot the ball, and he isn't gonna be in the playoff rotation. Gordon could start.

Gordon is an upgrade.

"December 14, 2011: Eric Gordon got traded to New Orleans (NO) from Los Angeles (LAC) with Chris Kaman, Al-Farouq Aminu and an unprotected 2012 1st round pick for Chris Paul and two future second-round picks"

How things have changed.... players at the level of Gordon, Kaman, Aminu + a first would not even get you a borderline allstar point guard today.

Gordon is an upgrade over either Luke or Reggie, he is playing 30 MPG this season on the Rockets with decent numbers. He'll play less for us which should help his efficiency.

We are really gonna need Bones to not crap the bed for us though in a limited role, that's the big question mark.

[clipperlover]

Still expecting one more chip to fall.

[Scoundreldays]

There's the big man! No once he is use to the system is a starter or backup?

[MartinToVaught]

Not having to watch Reggie anymore is the one silver lining to today. Looks like we're still stuck with Morris, though.

He has no trade value except to fill salary, but isn't even expiring. Best case scenario he could go to a 3rd team that is actually looking for some playoff scoring off the bench.

He is an expiring next season though.

**** yeah we got a backup big!! Was hoping for Plumlee too, and no Reggie!
