aaron_gray · Post #1081 » by **aaron_gray** » Thu Jan 29, 2015 9:41 am

Trade deadline is Feb 19th this year. Rumors are really starting to pop up now, and it's going to be interesting to see who gets traded. So here are some candidates:

The big names:
Reggie Jackson
Lance
Brook Lopez
Wilson Chandler
Thad Young
Kevin Martin

Veterans on crap teams
Brandon Bass (who hasn't had as many wiretap headlines as i thought he would)
Jose Calderon

Struggling veterans on good teams
Norris Cole
Gary Neal
Andre Miller???

Out of place young players
Nick Stauskas
Jeremy Lamb
Rick Ross
Snell/Mirotic???
Shabbazz Napier
Jordan Adams
Maurice Harkless
Kostas Papanikoalou
TJ Warren
Tyler Ennis

The Lakers
Jordan Hill
Wayne Ellington
Wesley Johnson

Stealth candidates who would shake up the nba landscape if traded
Joakim Noah
Goran Dragic
Enes Kanter
Greg Monroe
Eric Gordon
Nicolas Batum
Ty Lawson

I'm sure I missed some, but who do you guys think will be traded? IMO the most likely candidates are Reggie, Bass and Hill, but I don't know if anyone will get traded before the deadline this year.

I like the essence of the deal but think Toronto is going to want more and probably doesn't want to give up Williams. Also think OKC will want to shed 2 million off cap to stay out of luxury tax. Nice effort!

Warrior fan here.

Do the Lakers value Robert Sacre and see him as a part of their future? Or do you think they're willing to trade him for garbage and keep tanking? Would love to trade our 3rd string Center Kuzmic for him. He can start and definitely help the tank!

Think a 2nd rounder added might get it done. Don't think Sacre is necessarily part of the future but no reason to give him away either. Think the tank will go just fine with or without him!

Now's the time to trade Hill to the Suns

And who exactly would Phoenix give up?

aaron_gray · Post #1092 » by **aaron_gray** » Sun Feb 1, 2015 11:28 pm

any one of their gajillion young players who is riding the pine

Green/Bullock/Plumlee/Zoran for Hill/Ellington. The only problem would be finding room for those guys unless the Lakers were to flip Green and Plumlee for picks.

Would you guys do vet + houston first for lottery protected Charlotte first, because that could potentially end up being WCS. Not feeling super confident about Charlotte making the playoffs, but not feeling super confident about them becoming good in the next 5 years either.

so basically a pick swap? I wouldn't give them lottery full lottery protection if its one of the vets that useful to them, best I give them is top 10, maybe even top 5 if its someone like Hill or Lin.

Heard that Embiid was not giving out his full effort in conditioning. The 76ers has Noel already and may draft Okafor or a big man in the upcoming draft. Is there any chance we could somehow land Embiid this season or after draft via trade?
