Re: 2019-2020 Trade Deadline Thread
If we never commit to fully bottoming out, targeting a player like Jaylen brown of last summer is our best bet. The guy showed a ton of potential his rookie year and played great in the playoffs. He gets pushed out of the starting rotation and struggled last year when the Celtics had Kyrie. His contract was talked about as one of the worst in the league this summer. His bounce back this season was pretty predictable to me. We just have to find that guy and pull with away with rfa or when a team doesn’t want to pay like the magic with Dipo.

Ah, like dion waiters.

Galinari could stay the full season. Sign n trade probably more attractive option. If he does move before the deadline, I'll guess that the leading contenders for him will be Magic, Mavs and Suns.

Re: 2019-2020 Trade Deadline Thread
Any thoughts on letting Sacramento pay us to take Dedmon off their hands? Is this something Sac would do that could net us more picks? Wouldn't mind taking a flyer on Giles III either.
Also, I feel like Milwaukee is under a lot of pressure to bolster their roster. We could use that to our advantage. II know they are winning, but if I'm Giannis, I want to see more. It will be interesting to see how Milwaukee approaches this deadline.

Do you believe Gallinari is going to be a max player? I can't think of a single S&T for a non-max player, can you? What do you think a S&T of Gallinari would look like? What bad salary does OKC take for him?

Re: 2019-2020 Trade Deadline Thread
Kennard isn't a bad player. Pretty solid.
Per the athletic:
The Hawks are among several teams expressing interest in Rockets center Clint Capela, according to sources. Houston has received several calls on Capela, but is said to be unlikely to move him barring an overwhelming offer. Conversely, several teams are monitoring Hawks big man John Collins and feeling out Atlanta’s asking price, sources said. Collins has so far been part of the Hawks’ young core along with All-Star guard Trae Young. But the Hawks’ need for a more natural center is known, and they have expressed interest in Capela, Sacramento’s Dewayne Dedmon and Oklahoma City’s Steven Adams, too.
Dadouv47 is going to lose his mind if we get Collins.

Collins and Noel would fit well together. Maybe Collins and Even Turner for Adams? Turner would just be for the salary match. I'm not sure Atlanta wouldn't want more then that for Collins. Might need to throw in the 2021 Miami pick. Turner is an expiring.

Re: 2019-2020 Trade Deadline Thread
I don't understand why the Hawks would trade Collins, even if it meant getting a good C. They have no need to rush their rebuild.

I agree. They are better off just drafting Wiseman or trading their pick for a young center in the off-season. I don't know why they would rush to get a center. I'm also not sure why they would be willing to trade Collins, but if they are open to it he is the type of player that would be worth throwing some of OKC's assets at.

It’s fun to imagine but I took those comments to mean “ the Hawks need a center and teams want Collins”. I don’t think the hawks have any reason to move him unless they are upset about the ped’s. Travis Schlenk has been a good gm. Trading Collins could really mess that up.

Pretty much
As previously mentioned, there are no reason for the Hawks to trade Collins. If we were talking about the the Knicks or some bad organization, I would have some small hope but the Hawks front office is doing a very good job (don't think they will trade any of their young guys).

He’s only 21, so there’s time for him to develop, but he is currently a long way from being a consistent contributor on a playoff team. If the Spurs want to trade for a veteran, he’d be a good piece to sell to a rebuilding team.
Can't see why he'd even be available and think this is just conjecture by KOC. The Spurs also almost never make mid season deals. If he IS available though I'm a huge fan.

I think this will be an extremely underwhelming deadline. That’s a shame considering how the league is wide open this year.

https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2019/06/why-nba-sign-and-trades-are-rare-2.html Gallo was signed n traded (not sure if it was max or just near it) and a few modest salaries recently.
No I don't expect Gallo to be anywhere near his max.
I haven't thought about the specifics. It really depends on the team, how bad they want him, what they want and have to do to get him signed acceptably.
People, including me, have talked about the possibility loosely; but it will be tough and may be unlikely even if everyone wants to do it.

Re: 2019-2020 Trade Deadline Thread
Think we will end up making big moves this offseason.
Doesn't make sense to trade only one positive asset if some team is not making a REALLY good offer (and I don't see any team willing to give up big assets right now). Maybe if we have multiple ''ok'' offers for both Gallo and Schroeder we could end up trading both for not so much value in return..
