Season Speculation, Trade Ideas & Discussion Pt. 6

[Wilber85]

Lol, ok, found the "Report".

If you want Tyson Chandler or Jared Dudley, call — Phoenix is willing to send out both of them.

Would Dudley to the Cavs for Frye make sense for Cavs?

With Love out - would Dudley being a spot up three point shooter, stretch 4 help them for the next 6 weeks or so?

My guess, the Cavs want to use Fryes expiring in a bigger deal but just trying to find matches for Dudley and chandler - pretty difficult

Dudley sucks lol. Good veteran and locker room guy. I am sorry but he is not going to make the cavs better lol

[thamadkant]

Bender at center is a no brainer for me.
Get him strength training in the off season and he can become a good modern center down the line. Not the athletic explosive type... But the one that stretches defense out and then drives pass slower big men.... With good passing skills too... A Jokic type.... No way near as good obviously but same mould... Skilled, good vision and passing... Mobile.

Any chance they'll sit Tyson until the deadline?

I'm in a neck and neck battle to make my fantasy playoffs and really need his boards.

You know that and I know that but Dan Gilbert -

I knew it was a reach. I think Dudley will be here through next year and maybe he asks for a buyout 12 months from now - but his contract will be expiring. Both he and Chandler - that's 23m off the books

Like was said - the Suns somehow have to get with DBooker to "agree" to an extension like Kawhi did to allow the team cap space next year - summer of 2019 so the Suns can sign a max guy than extend Booker
Granted, the Suns/Sarver are not the Spurs of Buford/Pop

There was a report a few months back that said we wouldnt be sitting anyone this year. With Monroe gone, we are pretty thin at C with only Chandler and Len (Who has no future here) until Big Sauce comes back from injury.

Chandler should keep getting decent minutes unless we decide to try to play Bender or Chriss at C and see if they can handle that spot.

Whoa! Now that is news! Magic just does not get how this works. First PG, then Giannis.

It looks to me like Gilbert is trying to get LeBron to drop his no-trade clause so he can get a bunch of assets back at the deadline and move on. And people said OUR team was a mess.

LeBron James is reportedly at odds with Cleveland management.

LBJ reportedly cursed at two Cleveland executives during a late-January meeting in which the legitimacy of Kevin Love's illness was questioned, and he also reportedly has "no relationship" with owner Dan Gilbert or Cavs' GM Koby Altman. Gilbert has been calling the shots in Cleveland ever since the Cavs parted ways with former GM David Griffin, and he's not involving James in the decision process, which has irked The Chosen One. We're headed for a wild summer.

LeBron wants to screw over Dan Gilbert if he is not-waiving his NTC. He just wants to stick to him.

I am not sure what teams would trade for LeBron knowing he can opt out

LeBron to Houston in FA is the obvious choice.

His buddies Paul and Harden would be the best guard combo he's ever had.

He knew, he just figures he's magic. With all r money in the league, the Lakers name doesn't quite get what it used to.

Bron to Houston, they have no $ for Capela.

Sign Capela. Draft Trae Young.

Young | Knight | Ulis
Booker | Reed
Jackson | Warren (6th man)
Chriss | Bender
Capela | Williams

Profit.

The Rockets don't get LeBron without dumping Paul. not sure they will do that. Ariza is a cap hold of 12m; Paul right now 39m cap hold.

I think the Rockets easily would match for Capela. The key thing is to get a deal quickly so that locks up the Rockets dollars. I mean, like 12:01 - have a deal in place at 12:05 - that puts Houston on the clock.

Dinwiddie is not worth a 1st round pick. That's crazy talk.

He is top ten for PGs in RPM and averaging 13.5/6.5/3.5. His efficiency is down this year from last.

I live this guy. Quite frankly this is the kind of player you hope for when you draft someone after pick 15. His size and athleticism are great alongside Booker.

I would have to disagree. I think he is worth a non-lottery 1st round pick in a vacuum. The question is if he is worth the opportunity cost of that pick included with other assets in a bigger deal. That I'm not sure about.

I love the guy. Reminds me a lot of Brogdon.

Yeah. I just read what Magic said. No tampering there to me. You have to be able to compliment other team's players. Pretty lame of the league office IMO.

Pretty sure the Suns have the Grizzlies second round pick and the Raptors along with their own and maybe Bucks. I would give one of the Grizz/Suns picks (as higher in the 2nd round) and the Bucks pick for Dinwiddie

Capela is overrated. D'antoni system guy with Harden or CP throwing him passes. I would not overpay that dude.

Yeah not keen to buy high.

[lilfishi22]

This is exactly why I didn't want to let Monroe go before the deadline:

https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/248861/LeBron-James-Wont-Waive-No-Trade-Clause-At-Deadline

Things could blow up at this deadline. We might miss out on an opportunity to either get a star CHEAP or be looters and come away with free assets.

Who couldn't we get now that we could get with Monroe?
