Trade Deadline Discussion & Rumours (Thursday 3pm) - Raps and NBA

[agkagk]

I'm kind of over the idea of the raps doing anything significant. If they stand pat I'm honestly cool with it. I don't wanna tinker with the starting 5.

I gotta admit. This might be the first deadline where i'll be perfectly happy if nothing goes down.

Another thing we arent talking about....maybe we hace a great febuary and dragic is persuaded to become a bench piece. That might be better than any deadline move. That dude always plays well in the playoffs.

We're in a season fresh off being a lottery team and people want win now moves that will put us nearly 10M over the luxury tax and cost us immediate and future draft capital.

This isn't even the cart pulling the horse. This is selling the cart and the horse for 10 bags of grain that you'll carry on your shoulders 150km to the next town and not being worried because now you won't go hungry.

give me cheap veteran pluggers or give me death!

Im talking to you delon wright, alec burke, corey joseph, nerlen noel etc......

side note: i have a strong suspicion that this might be the year we are actually players in the buyout market -- we have minutes to give crappy pending free agents.

I'd like that. We don't have a 2nd rounder this year.

I keep coming back to Josh Hart and Winslow. Just seems like a fit and should be free (e.g. Dragic only ) for Portland to shed cap.

Problem is that they're already shed cap in the Powell/Roco/CJ moves.

[LarSiN]

We could've had NAW for Dragic and a 2nd?

And how would the salaries have matched ? NAW makes 3 mill, Dragic makes 19

I don't think there's a limit to how much they want to shed. They want to rip it down and rebuild.

Pacers continue rebuild, deal Turner to Toronto
Toronto Raptors receive: Myles Turner, Buddy Hield

Indiana Pacers receive: Goran Dragic, Chris Boucher, Khem Birch, Malachi Flynn, 2022 first-round pick, 2024 first-round pick

Note: This deal would need to be split into two separate transactions due to the Pacers recently acquiring Hield via trade.

The Raptors have surprised with how well they've played in what was expected to be a rebuilding season after moving on from face of the franchise Kyle Lowry. They currently find themselves only two games out of first place in a division that is wide open with the complicated situations in Brooklyn and Philadelphia.

The addition of Hield would bolser the Raptors' perimeter game with one of the best 3-point-shooting wings in the league, further stretching the floor for their talented forwards to operate while slotting him next to Fred VanVleet and Gary Trent Jr.

And Turner, if he returns healthy from the stress reaction in his foot, would fill the big man role the Raptors had previously split among three players. Turner would provide optimal shot-blocking, rim protection and 3-point shooting to finish one of the more dynamic frontcourts in the NBA next to Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby and rookie Scottie Barnes. This deal would push the Raptors into the luxury tax, but the resulting lineup would be strong at both ends of the court.

The Pacers already appeared poised for a rebuild, with a team full of veterans that was all but fixed at the 13th spot in the Eastern Conference, eight games out of the play-in game. They started that rebuild by dealing both of their leading scorers in separate trades, with Sabonis headed to the Kings and LeVert to the Cavaliers.

The proposed deal gives Indiana two expiring deals and two first-round picks to help them jump-start the rebuilding process this offseason. Boucher is also, in many ways, a developing version of the Turner template as a shot-blocker who likes to shoot 3s. This deal would give the Pacers the chance to try him out, as well as Birch and Flynn, to see if any might be worth retaining as part of their future.

Git er done Masai.

Eric Gordon will be ours tomorrow. I can feel it in my bones.

Also expecting one (or more) of Svi/Flynn/Yuta to be traded for a 2nd.

yes, cannot be aggregated with other players
but in a bigger trade they could make 2 seperate trades and be legal.
