Trade Talk (Part Four)

[KGdaBom]

hmm Pacers fire their coach. interesting to see if they make roster changes in the offseason. can myles turner play PF. He seems athletic and mobile enough to play the 4. How about 3 team trade b/w us, pacers and hornets?
Wolves going out:#1 pick, JJ
Wolves receive: Miles Bridges or PJ Washington(washington plays the 4? we need a 3) plus either malik monk or bismack biyombo; Myles Turner

Hornets going out:#3 pick, Miles Bridges
Hornets Recieve: #1 pick, JJ

Pacers going out:Myles Turner
Pacers receive:#3 pick

Our final roster
Dlo/monk
Okogie/beasley
Bridges/culver
Turner/hernangomez
Towns/reid

I would use Malik Beasley as 6th man off the bench. We have 3 solid defenders to play alongside kat & dlo.

If Washington and Turner come in that deal it could be worth it. Not much interest in the other players. I would need to have Turner contract details. Is he getting Max? how long is he signed for. No on Beasley off the bench. We very much need him in the lineup. Washington can play 3 or 4 IMO.

Turner's contract:
2021-22: $17,500,000
2022-23: $17,500,000
UFA in 2023.

Next season is the 20-21 season. Those contract details look OK to me. Does he have 2 years remaining or three?

Oladipo anyone? Flip was really high on the kid coming out, so maybe Ryan is too.....

Hard to trade too many assets, which the Pacers would want, for a guy who will be an unrestricted FA next year.

Oladipo seems to have finally recovered. If we can get him straight up for #1 and he is signed for a few years I think I could support that. More I think about Turner and Washington for #1 the less I like it.Consider me out on that Idea. I'm still in favor of #1 for #3 and Washington.

Considering his recent injuries and pending free agency it would have to be at a big discount.

[TaylorTag]

A Hornets fan in the general trade board suggested #1 for #3 and Miles Bridges.

I’d do that in a heartbeat

If he's UFA after this season I'm out on that idea.

Not Bridges. Washington.

Oladipo anyone? Flip was really high on the kid coming out, so maybe Ryan is too.....

No, Oladipo is 28 along with a couple notable injuries. In the last two years he's only played in 36 and 19 games in the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 seasons. Others have already pointed out he'll be a FA after next season. I'd want a little bit more stability if the first overall pick is involved.

[KGdaBom]

I really believe we are going to trade #1 overall and it's going to be with Atlanta.

Hate it. Hate the Beasley 6th man idea every time I read it posted. Okogie has always been his best coming off the bench when they need his type of play, not starting and not for too many minutes. People using him to offset defensive weaknesses of others can still get some of that later as the game is going. But not the starters. Beasley helps make the starting group a threat from outside valid and helps that space for everyone. We need people to stop getting cute and get our best shooters to score and demoralize the opponent, not fall behind and beg for our bench to recoup the defecits. If you need better scorers off the bench go find them and add them. They are literally everywhere and will be tons in the draft sliding down because teams are still choosing athletes instead of scoring studs.

Most I’d give up for Dipo is Culver, #17, #33.

I'll try to be open minded about this. Bridges is a sub par shooter and on the shorter end for SFs. Is he known for great Defense? I know the Bridges on Phoenix is.

If he somehow signs 3-4yrs extension around 25mil per year before 20/21 season starts, I'd trade JJ, #1 and fillers for Oladipo in a heartbeat

[jpatrick]

The assumption would be Edwards, an Atlanta native, to slide in at SG.

Yep Edwards.

[KGdaBom]

If you had Rosas" job I doubt if we would ever make a trade.

[TaylorTag]

I really believe we are going to trade #1 overall and it's going to be with Atlanta.

who would they want at one?

Yep Edwards.

And I am assuming we would get one of Hunter or Reddish plus #6 in return?

Id rather not trade the number one for a one season wonder.
