Somewhat of a knucklehead w/ questionable work ethic but worlds of talent and physical gifts. His bbiq and streakiness seem cut from the same cloth as Oubre.

If he could be acquired without sacrificing anything significant, I wouldn't be opposed to kicking the tires for the duration of the meaningless season...

20% chance he could still turn into a Kevin Porter Jr. reclaimation success story for someone if he gets his act together.

I wouldn't mind trading for him, but man I think I would be frightened to resign him this offseason to anything meaningful.

There's not enough bad things I could say about the basketball IQ of Reddish.

Magic just got Johnathan Isaac back after over a year on the shelf and he played well during his return. Their forward and center spots are absolutely clogged between Banchero, Wagner, Isaac, Carter Jr, Bamba and Bol Bol's minutes are being impacted.

Bol has finally stayed healthy and has put on some impressive displays this year with great efficiency. I think he would post some eye popping numbers in a more featured role.

Why would Phoenix do that? Are they running Terry next to Booker?

Booker running point full time seems to be gathering a lot of steam from fans.

I think they can do better than just Terry if they move on from CP3

Yeah, I'd still like to trade for Bamba. Adds a different skillset to the team with his shot blocking + 3's. Bol Bol too. So we can have someone named Bol Bol on the ball team.

I think I’d rather mark develop his 3 than trade for bamba.

Bol Bol would be great if we won lotto as well. Start mark, Bol Bol and Wemby together with ball.

I saw someone say Deni Avdija was on the trading block. Not sure if thats true or why Washington would be looking to trade their only promising young player, but I think he would be a good target to poach if thats true. If they aren't planning on bringing back Miles the Hornets could use another big wing. Haywards days are numbered here and he doesn't play anyways, so Avdija could be a nice young guy to groom for a similar playmaking wing role (probably lower usage unless things go really well).

He's a terrible shooter though. 27%.

His shooting mechanics look fairly good and hes at 76% from the ft line over the last two seasons. Just turned 22 recently. The shooting could still be salvageable. His size and all around game (besides 3pt shooting) is nice. He could be a valuable bench piece regardless who still has some upside. I wouldn't give up a ton for him though.

Maybe Mitch trading for Avdija would lure Ichiro back to the board?

Braggins · Post #1935 » by **Braggins** » Wed Jan 25, 2023 1:36 pm

Not saying these would be the final deals, but these packages work for salary matching purposes

Kai for Avdija
Kai + Thor for Avdija
Bouknight for Avdija
Rozier for Avdija + Barton (expiring)
Rozier + Plumlee for Avdija + Barton (expiring) + Wright (2/15.6)
Hayward for Avdija + Barton (expiring) + Wright (2/15.6)

Yeah I would trade Kai or Bouknight or both for Deni immediately

His shot is fixable and he does everything else way better than those two can hope to

Braggins · Post #1937 » by **Braggins** » Wed Jan 25, 2023 2:01 pm

I'd make the Denver 1st available as well. Maybe I'm overrating him though cuz I haven't seen him play much recently and I don't understand why Washington would be looking to trade him, but Washington's front office is as bad as Charlottes so who knows. I'm not even sure if hes actually on the block, its just something I saw a Washington fan saying.

McDaniels being an unrestricted free agent sucks pretty bad. If they aren't trying to bring back Miles and McDaniels just wants to play somewhere else they could end up really thin on the wing next season.

Yes to one of the other, preferably Bouk. A BIG NO to adding a pick with that deal. Can’t trade too much for a player with a bad shot. Fixable…I’ve heard that before. Maybe, but odds are against it at this level.

Post #1939 » by **fatlever** » Wed Jan 25, 2023 4:19 pm

We should shop Bouk for literally anything of value. Any 2RP? Any player with marching salary. Literally anyone. I just want his negative vibes and energy away from the team.

I would cut him the day after the trade deadline, but that's just me.

I think there is a pretty good chance he gets tossed into a Oubre or Plumlee trade.
