[eminence]

yes he showed people nothing year 1 dort was productive at least.

I'm not sure what value Dort has to a win-now team like the Warriors. Is he just supposed to be a cheaper, worse version of Marcus Smart? Does Smart even have more trade value than Dort due to age/contract?

Sure, Smart is a reasonable comparison in role. I'd value Dort more right now mainly due to contract, as I view Dort as reasonably close to his ceiling (age not a big factor).

Yeah, I figured as much where the Warriors might as well just go for Smart in a move that probably costs them less in all aspects other than extra millions in luxury tax payments for their billionaire owners. If you're trying to move from Wiseman for better present value, I'm not sure Dort offers that much more than like an Avery Bradley off the waiver wire.

Smart just got extended, so I don't see him as all that likely to move.

We disagree on Dort's quality, I have him slightly behind Smart and well above Bradley.

Rather than nit-picking on Bradley in particular when I just threw his name out as whoever the best defensive guard is out there for a 2-way/minimum (if you think Dort has better trade value than the much better player in Smart due to contract, then the same should apply to someone who is a few years from being at his peak and will be a free agent in 2023 versus the best of the scrap heap), I don't value Dort (best-case of Smart minus a lot of playmaking, doesn't create as many turnovers as his defensive reputation suggests) that highly for this year's Warriors. Besides, wanting a defensive guard with a limited outside shot is pretty much a tacit admission that Klay is not going to be anywhere close to his previous form, in which case you should probably be considering something bigger than this more lateral move. Might as well hope for a Wiseman breakout at that cost because a bench guard like Dort isn't pushing them into title contention in the short term.

Value wise I would definitely trade Dort for Wiseman but I'm reluctant to trade SGA's best friend...we already traded 90% of our roster since we got SGA and if he's planning to stay in OKC long term, I would rather keep his friend close to him. Could be silly but you can't really evaluate that kind of value (even more in a small market team)

So yeah, we disagree on Dort, I don't think Smart is 'much better' than Dort at all. I view Smart as a 4th starter for a contender, Dort as a 5th starter you expect to develop into that 4th starter (with some small hopes for more than that). No guy currently on the free agency market comes even close to that.

Putting aside how nonsensical that is (when you're down to the 4th vs. 5th starter, there isn't a whole lot of difference - once you get down to who the ~100th-best player in the league is, the talent level is significantly leveled off and it has much more to do with fit or how talented your 1st-3rd best players are) I'd say yeah, getting a 5th vs. 4th starter alone is a pretty big difference for how old the Warriors' main players are. Either way, wanting a player like that to be a token stationary three-point threat that defenses still help off of (when a contested Steph three is better than an open Dort one) for pretty much the sole benefit of defending the matchups Steph and injured Klay can't (when I'm not even sure how much better that would be than Iguodala in that regard) doesn't seem to be more than shuffling deck chairs.

Some might word that as having a 'slight' preference between options from that tier.

The rest - you appear to believe the Warriors shouldn't be making moves unless they're for stars. That's fine. I disagree. I certainly wish Iguodala was still comparable to Dort (obviously more than that in his prime).

[DroseReturnChi]

im wiseman doubter but boy that is reality too harsh. a number 2 pick is now worth scrubs.

[sonictecture]

I don’t see team building as simply a series of winning value in trades. Wiseman should have more value than Dort at this time, but I don’t want Wiseman. I’m not a believer in his potential.

I don’t think dort is scrubs now and most OKC take here is that we want to do it or we can see the value but we still won’t do it (sonic’s view I believe)

I’m torn cause I think short term dort will have the higher value but I’m not sure how likely that wiseman will reach 80-90% of his potential .

[cjmcallist]

I think I’d do it for OKC but it would hurt.

Wiseman is really an unknown: low, low floor but high ceiling. Dort has a very high floor but lower ceiling.

People forget that Dort is effectively in his second year now. He feels older but he is younger than two(?) lotto picks this 2021 draft.

But OKC should really be swinging for the fences. My only caveat is if OKC has a desirable extension worked out with Dort. If we can lock him up on a Smart-type long deal (~$14m), we should probably keep him.

I guess I don't get writing the depth chart like that, I'd love if Poole (or Dort in this scenario) were better playmakers, but they aren't. Someone will still be playing the 'pg' spot when Steph sits even if the playmaking load is more distributed. If you know of any good playmakers we could target (who make a comparable amount to Dort) feel free to post the deal - off the top of my head Jalen Brunson might be the only one in the league.

I obviously agree on the value of Favors, but Dort is the value of this deal, not Favors. Favors is a way to directly get a rotation quality big when it may be otherwise tricky to fill that role. Muscala would be a reasonable option as well directly from the Thunder, but that trade would have to wait a bit longer.

Obviously I would've liked Gasol, he also pretty obviously turned us down. Past that, there's nobody equal to Favors on the FA market left (unless Baynes heals).

I can understand saying Poole is a distributor as we have tried to develop him as a PG for a couple years but in reality he's played much better as an attacking scorer than distributor.

Dort can only be related to a 1 spot because his height. He averaged 1.7 assists this year and .8 last year what am I missing? That is not his role and when I say that is a need for the team I mean we need a real distributor. Not someone who is short.

Pre-draft this may have made some more sense but now I cannot imagine GSW giving up Wiseman for more wing depth.

Whats wisemen value other than being lottery pick . dort gives 3 ppg more . i dont see the value at all for wiseman

I said that the playmaking load is distributed, not that Poole/Dort are distributors. Dray/Steph then Iggy (not sure what he's got left) is our playmaking hierarchy. JTA/Looney/Poole are all decent passers that can fit into the system if not particularly noteworthy. OPJ/Klay/Wiggins not particularly good passers, but not blackholes either.

I think we had more problems on the offensive glass than anything related to playmaking.

One of the reasons I originally suggested Favors as the big to fill Wisemans slot in this deal, as he's a very strong offensive rebounder.

Young guy with top tier measurables and at least some baseline skill in terms of shooting/handling.

He's not a good player today, same as most young guys.
