The Trade Deadline Thread (Bucks and Around the League) The Horn Sounds!

[drew881]

So Rashad Vaughn got traded again today. Not sure if that got lost in the Cleveland news.

[Rainwater]

Catching up on the deadline and remembering there were a couple of dudes willing to trade Jabari for Rodney Hood.

Rodney Hood could easily have a far better career than Jabari. He certainly has so far.

Just sayin.

Only if Jabari was injured. I don't how you could say that if Parker is healthy. Considering the age difference and stats it's not even close. Hood is a role player. Jabari has star potiental.

[Frank Nova]

**** no lmao. Dude is TERRIBLE.

Yeah I mean I'm certainly not gonna argue with you or ever defend Rose.. Just an idea that crossed my mind when I saw he was already released and we didn't make a trade for any guard depth given our situation right now. Rose did stink it up with Cleveland, chances are he'd continue to stink. Never know tho I guess.

Yea I get wanting another ballhandler for sure but Rose is just way too far off at this point. Abysmal defense, awful fit on offense, and strong possibility of off-court/locker room BS. Haven't seen too much of Jameer this year but if he's still passable he was the type of guy to target imo.

Yeah I hear you and I agree. A veteran guard to help relieve this hard time for us is something we could really use. I hate the idea of having Mumford and JET as our only depth behind Bledsoe but I do like the idea of Giannis playing more point forward so it's kinda catch 22 for me. I don't hate the idea of a Joe Johnson either if he's released or bought out.

its a bad day for the theory about delly only looking good playing alongside lebron because he could make anyone look good

D Rose and IT join deron williams in the lebron didnt make good category, next up its the hill/hood and remember that the benchmark is sweeping through the eastern conference finals and winning 2 games against the warriors

lol dude, nobody is making Rose look good. He is a very bad basketball player. Nothing has changed since last season in that regard.

As for IT - he can't hit a shot, which you can't blame anyone but him for, and has always been one of the worst defenders around. If he isn't scoring at above average efficiency he offers nothing at all.

im not blaming lebron, im taking a shot at people who think delly is trash who was only lucky to play alongside lebron

actually the benchmark for hill is winning a finals game at golden state with love out and lebron shooting 11-35

Has Delly's game changed from his days in Cleveland to his current season with the Bucks? For some reason, I recall him getting more charges, being more of a defensive gnat than he is now.

Yep. That's the key and extremely questionable. Hoping for the best.

So the Kings cut Papagiannis from the roster.Wouldnt mind if the bucks took a chance on him.His problems are strength+conditioning+foot speed.Suki can fix at least 2 of those.Plus he is only 20 years old.

the bucks have only seen a small sample of delly during meaningful basketball but i think its the same delly, most notably the playoff series against toronto had some good delly power moments like the strangle of game 3 and comeback of game 6, he was all over lowry all series

The title above reads ''surprise'', is it really a surprise? The guy is clearly terrible. Watching him play is a painful experience.

I'll pass, and I'm Greek

The guy has already lost a tonne of weight and he just can't move very well.

[Miasma]

Should we try and get Rose now as a stop gap backup PG to bandaid the next month without Delly and Brogdon? I'm mulling it over and can't figure out if it's wise or not. He showed interest in Milwaukee and he would certainly come dirt cheap now he's been traded and released.... anyone have an opinion on this?

Hard pass. I think there's a good chance Rose is done for good. He might retire.

I don't think he can even consider it. Reports say he would lose $80 million in A.D.I.D.A.S. money if he does.

I would have tried to package IT and someone for a more proven all-star level player.

Yeah, but who? Besides Kemba (who they did try to acquire), I think there was only DJ or Whiteside available and they didn't fit the criteria of young, cheap players who are worth a pick in the 1-8 range

[Magic Giannison]

I don't know. Bottom line for me is you need 3 stars to win in this league and they don't have that any longer. And the first rounders, like the Nets pick may not be enough to save them either.

Parker is easily the better player. Granted his defense has to be better than poor, but Hood's numbers just aren't there. Parker will beat his offensive production / efficiency for sure.

I like Hood, I like Parker better.

[jr lucosa]

I think Nance Jr is an underrated pickup for CLE. He's a plus interior defender and a really smart player, think he'll help stabilize that reeling defense a little bit, probably makes them the favorites to come out of the east again which I was starting to doubt with how poorly they've been playing.

[yannisk]

Yes Jabari is better than Hood (I imagine I don't even know Hood), but he just has contract for 3 more months. If somebody traded for Jabari what was he getting really? 3 months to slowly get him back in games and the ability to match offers. If somebody overpaid for Jabari's next contract they would have given Hood for nothing

[Jimmmycrackcorn]

Honest question. What could the cavs have done today that would have made them feel any better about their situation if bron walks this summer?

not give up a draft pick

It’s protected though. Honestly, we’re they going to draft someone better than Nance with that pick? Probably not. I think they made some really smart moves today. If/when Bron leaves they can sell Love and start over with a Hood/Nance/Brooklyn1st/LoveTrade roster. Buyout JR and start anew. Much better than the jumble of trash they had previously.

Nance Jr. isn't that good. who knows what you could've gotten with that pick....but to say Nance is better is settling.

Its okay we just need to sign him a two way contract in G-league.The factor of Giannis( having a second greek in the team) may help him a lot.If he bulks up and with his height he might be the center we need..

Pretty convinced at this point that Kidd was the only voice in the room that was constantly pining for washed up "name" guys like Rose, Wade, and Dwight. Another good reason why a coaching change was necessary before we make any big moves.

I wonder if there were any other changes in the front office when kidd was fired. IE Thorn and some other cronies being kindly told to take a hike.
