Fake Trade Thread #6

The Hawks might end up salary dumping Deandre Hunter ala John Collins. Legit that is how little interest there is in him at this point and you guys want to give up the 6th pick for him? lol

Yeah wtf, he was barely playing for them last season. Johnson has taken his roster spot and he's in and out of the rotation. Griffin is intriguing but I'd rather take the swing on the 6th pick. We could probably get Hunter for Bertans and Seth lol.

I’m not advocating, as I question the price being too high for pick 6. But it’s hard to argue that Hunter wouldn’t be a better player than anyone we’d draft there.

Hunter EPM numbers
offensive 72%
defensive 36%
overall 58%

So he is a slightly above average player making around 24 million per year.

Miles Bridges EPM numbers

offensive 75%
defensive 45%
overall 66%

Hunter is the guard version of PJ Washington, and isn't worth his contract. Would not trade the 6th for him

[LofJ]

Whenever I see Hunter's name mentioned I always remember the play where he got his 3 point shot blocked when he was in college at UVA playing Zion. To this day it's one of the most athletic plays I've ever seen anyone make in any sport.

he averaged 30 minutes a game??

Johnson played more 4

[Diop]

Hunter has averaged 52 games per year over his 5 seasons. That is less games played per year than Gordon Hayward. I wouldn't take on his 21-25 mil per year salary unless someone gave me a top 5 pick.

i liked Hunter when they drafted him but didn't look into him much more than that, if he's broken, then you're right **** no

[Rich4114]

Hunter is just the latest cap mistake by Atlanta. It looked good at the time, but now it's not a good contract and I don't think they'd need much value other than cap flexibility for him much like Collins.

[LofJ]

If the Bulls are rebuilding and want to dump salary we'd be smart to call them up and see if we can snag Vucevic. I don't think he'd require a first and with Clifford gone I'm confident our new coaching staff is smart enough to not feature him on offense.

[amcoolio]

The Bulls are reportedly trying to contend and think this is a win now move and don't want picks. Looking at their forum they are pissed. Lol

I would take Demar or Vuc, depending on the compensation

DeMar as a Bridges replacement would be nice.

Finally we can agree on something.

[Liver_Pooty]

You guys want to trade for a 35 year old player who makes 43 million next season then will be a UFA and undoubtedly go somewhere to win a ring. Am I reading that correctly.

Vucevic makes 2/41. Which honestly isn’t awful as an insurance plan for Mark. He also has been a guy that has shot 40% on over 6 attempts from 3 in the past so he would give us a 5 out look big.

We could guarantee Bertans and send him as expiring and Bulls salary dump Vuc. No idea what type of value they would want… can’t imagine the interest would be that high among teams

Who are you talking about, Lavine?

DeMar is a FA, my bad. Would have to be a sign and trade. I do like the vet fit between LaMelo and Miller

Vuc makes 20 next year, 21 the year after. Its tolerable to get a stretch 5 and different look

As a Bridges replacement sure why not?

He's a good vet to have teach the youngsters how to be professional. Hell I like his fit next to Melo/Miller. Like our chances at making the playoffs as well.

Obviously if we bring Bridges back then he makes no sense.

Not paying a ton of money for a 1 year rental to make the play in. Grant Williams and Curry can be mentors.

43mil in cap space sounds worth it to me. It's not like we trading Melo/Miller/Mark. Everyone else doesn't have any real value.

You'd give 43 million dollars in cap space for a rental.

Alright. Lol.

[JMAC3]

Lavine has 3 years left on his deal, so Idk what all this rental talk is about.
Demar is a FA.

I am lost at what is being talked about at this point.

[Rich4114]

DeMarr is interesting as a FA signing (but not sure what he'd come here) and Lavine is dangerous to take on given his contract/health but you would be buying low and if it came with other compensation then it's something a team like ours might have to consider. We'd be going the Pacers model I guess at that point.

[amcoolio]

Was trying to figure out what a trade up would look like without giving up picks

Cavs:
Trade Garland and 20
Receive 6, Keldon Johnson, Micic, Hawks 2027 first (From SAS)

Hornets:
Trade 6, Micic
Receive 4, Graham

Spurs:
Trade 4, Keldon Johnson, Devonte Graham, Hawks 2027 first
Receive Garland, 20

Hornets jump Pistons to take one of Reed, Buzelis or Castle
