2023 TRADE DEADLINE MEGATHREAD

[hrdboild]

Landing OG would be pretty great, as long as it's not an overpay. I can't even begin to think what the price might be though. Toronto obviously thinks he's worth a lot. Failing that I think Monte will find a backup big on the buy out market and we ride with the guys who led us this far.

Blazers GM continues to be woefully in over his head. Why hasn't Dame demanded out?

 

[The_Jamal]

How were we not in on that for GPII???? Would have been perfect to empty all our 2nds for

 

[SacTownKid]

What are the Blazers actually doing lol?

What's their cap looking like now? Hopefully this doesn't put them in the running for something in the summer.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Yeah, why do that when the next Justin James is waiting in the wings, haha.

What I'm saying is maybe hold on to them to package for someone like that GP trade that just went down as opposed to 20 games of Plumlee

The bad Nurk contract is still on the books and now they have cap holds on Reddish and Thybulle that they didn't have before.

WHAAAAATTTTT

Vlade was ahead of the times with the second round picks...

Yeah, Plumlee isn't moving anything anyway at this point but someone like Bey? Shoot those 2nds out of a cannon towards Detroit. The Hawks and Nets have officially horded all the youngish wings, lol.

GSW trading their number 2 pick for an undrafted player should, instead, tell all of our posters here that these GMs aren't correct all the time and just because things look good on paper doesn't mean it'll work.

 

[SacTownKid]

Yeah, but I figure Reddish and Thybulle will get poached this summer anyway. They have to be positioning for something unless they are just trying to save money which if true, then holding onto Dame is just pointless.

 

[hrdboild]

And they can't play/re-sign all of them right? So maybe that's a win for the few teams who still have tradeable assets left this summer (and/or cap space).

True but you have to want to re-sign Bey. He has been just an ok player so you are kinda hoping he puts it together as opposed to trading for the player he is now. Monte probably has identified 10 players he would like to target over the next 2 years and is keeping the eye on the prize.

Plus they are about as attractive a destination as Sacramento I think. Unless Uncle Phil buys the team.

Prisoners of the moment. The buncha 'em.

 

[Section 101]

Keep in mind teams can ask for time if they are finalizing the framework of a deal.

 

[Kingz19]

Unless Eric Gordon fouls Monte McNair as he’s dialing the number of GM at 11:59am, giving him an extra 30 minutes or something..it looks like the Kings are good as is

Gotta remember that some trades won't get announced until several hours after the deadline.

Hopefully. Monte has kind of boxed himself in now a little though since space at the moment costs them Barnes probably. It's official, Holmes is an anchor and Monte has to get that next piece before Domas gets a max. It's just simply too hard to wheel and deal once you have 2-3 players taking up most of your cap without taking a few steps back to take some forward. Who knows what Monte is seeing but those games w/o Fox should have been an eye opener about how thin the line this team is walking actually is.

 

[SLAB]

I’m displeased.
Still a small chance I’m not in another hour…

So far, almost every major move McNair had made since he became our GM has proven to be of short-term help with potential long-term gain.

Plumlee (or insert all the bigs that we discussed that could be our backup) isn't going to move us that much further than where we are now.

Dave heart attack temporarily averted. Jeebus.

Its just going to feel that much better when Kings win WCF over these super teams, with Kessler Edwards hitting the game winning jumper.

Agree. But I would like the Kings to make the playoffs this season. A little more ammo could help.

But we will have more trade ammo this summer during the draft.
