ATL - PG13 to Thunder

[jakecronus8]

If Bender hits, he and Porzingis will be a stupid good front court.

Wizards could end the Porzingis talks if they put Jason Smith on the table.

Chriss looked pretty good whenever I saw last year. could keep him, draft Fox at 4. Trade Bledsoe elsewhere for more pieces or future assets really isn't a bad route either. PHX has a really good foundation to go from, a lot of good possibilities.

Or keep Bledsoe and take Tatum/Jackson. Bledsoe, Booker, Tatum, Chriss, Bender. And stil have the vet bigs to fill in while those two develop. Bledsoe can help them be ok for a year, then look at trading next year when he's expiring . lots of good options.

This is actually pretty good if the Suns dont have to take on Salary

If this is real the Knicks should take it.

My God, Phil Jackson has flipped ...

In Trade Transactions Thread ... RealGM posters voted who has the biggest trade value ... Giannis was 1st

And I think Porzingis was 2nd ... Bledsoe,Chriss and #4 is pathetic if you ask me ... I believe Phil wants to tank bottom 4 next season

I really think the whole Porzingis thing is just Phil's way of sending a message to his young star. Dont think hes actually dumb enough to trade him. We will see I guess.

the only message this sends is "go **** yourself" to any and every free agent worth a damn

Yep, his ego expands to the outer reaches of space and it is going to **** that franchise, which is okay by me

Bledsoe, Chriss and Josh Jackson for Kristaps? Hmmm, that'd make me think

Last second when the deals is about to be signed...Phil should demand Booker/4/Chriss LOL

that would be a great return.

Was gonna make a front court of all Jason Smiths joke, but Supreme beat me to it.

I think that deal would be contingent on Jackson falling to 4. I also think they would insist the suns take Noah and potentially send a shorter/less expensive contract back. It's not a terrible deal for NY. Chriss is a very intriguing prospect and younger than Jackson. He's one of the best athletes in the league and he plays with an edge. He's supposedly a hard worker and with a guy like him it's all about putting in the time to refine his skills.

With that said I wouldn't trade KP at all but if they are going to do it they could do worse than that package.

For me, it's fairly simple. If you think Kristaps is going to be a mainstay on All-NBA teams, this is a hard pass, because I don't see that in Jackson's future. Chriss is only an ok prospect and Bledsoe is in that average starting guard clump. If you are crazy about Jackson and think Kristaps is a flake, which is I think where Phil might be on this, you probably pull the trigger. If I'm Phil, though, I demand Bender and 4.

If I'm PHX I'd rather give you Bender and 4.

Yep Chriss > Bender

I hear ya. I'm not enamored with Chriss, but remember thinking he was an interesting prospect coming out. While I would love to pair Kristaps with Giannis, I am fairly certain Kristaps is a guy that is always going to be getting hurt, or playing hurt. That achilles injury ( I think that is what it was) is pretty concerning with a dude that big.

[Profound23]

If reports are tue that Phil is in love with Josh Jackson....but Jackson somehow goes top 3, I wonder if he still accepts that deal with the Suns.

You think they'd give up on Jason Smith this early?

Chriss was hitting 3s last year too. I know his percent was only about 32% but his form looked good to me and he's still only 19. Effort and competitiveness seemed to be there. Played hard and physical and didn't back down from guys like Giannis.

Kind of the same logic we have with Thon here could apply to them. yea KP is better but you might have your own here already, so don't give a ton of other stuff when you already might have your guy. I'd be moving Bender before Chriss.

Aldridge wants out...can't say I am surprised, and before someone suggest it, no, adding a 32 year old making 22M a year doesn't make any sense for us as a team right now

Generally agree and I'm not a fan overall of LMA. however, he's only one year beyond Monroe and with his outside shooting could pair ok with Giannis. I'm sure they want space now, not next year, but I don't know how they could dump LMA without taking on salary. Monroe would get them out a year early, if they made it worth our while i guess I'd listen. I'd want to be getting the extra assets like late 1st rounders and 2nds, not the other way around. Who knows, maybe there's a dump spot like SAC where they can clear him without taking near as much salary back.
