2023 TRADE DEADLINE MEGATHREAD

[Tetsujin]

Pass. He's just worse Trey Lyles at this point

You could probably just wait for him to get bought out anyways

The Lakers could smash Denver/Memphis in a 1st round playoffs series and you know the NBA is pulling for LeBron to win a title after getting the scoring record. Honestly this seems more like a move to help the NBA ratings than for Utah, I don't understand what Utah got out of this deal they are way to late to the tanking party as well. Kind of like when they magically got prime Pau Gasol for Kwame and what did end up being a good player in Marc Gasol but still these are very fishy deals......what other teams gets these deals and gives up nothing.

I guess the Raptors aren’t blowing it up then?

Lowry probably won't play even if he stays on the team, he's been a disaster. The Heat need a guard who can get to the rim (Herro is not great at it) other than Jimmy.

Sure but not like Russ solves that problem

Kinda sad how far Wall and Russ have fallen. These dudes were elite of the elite for a long time and now they're just unplayable

Add Rose to the list too. Goes to show that these super PG athletes don't last very long in terms of quality prime years while PGs like CP3, Curry, Nash, Kidd, etc. produce even later in their careers with their brains more so than their athletic prowess

Very reasonable tag for Poeltl here, especially if they do ink him to an extension. Siakam-Poeltl is excellent in all facets at the 4/5. Very curious how they shape the rest of their roster though. Scottie/OG at the 2/3 long-term? Trade FVV, Scottie runs the 1 with Siakam? Trade Siakam and move forward with OG/Scottie at the 3/4? Lots of routes they can go.

 

[Tetsujin]

Holy ****

the Suns have four max contract players?

 

[iowamcnabb]

Poeltl
Siakam
Barnes
?
Resigned Vleet

Find a better shooter, trade OG for 3 firsts and fill out the bench. Quick turnaround next year

 

[Tetsujin]

See if we can get Royce or one of the Nets many other wings for an expiring and picks.

 

[The_Jamal]

Well.

I hope the Spurs get Victor and not the Rockets or Pistons. If anyone can develop youth, it's Pop and that organization.

 

[iowamcnabb]

That really sucks

 

[Tetsujin]

Ayton
KD
?
Booker
CP3

that’s a GREAT big three but after that they have no money or depth

 

[kingsboi]

hilarious scenario for Brooklyn. They went out to get Simmons to compliment Kyrie & KD and now are left with Simmons and his 2 FGA per game. Time to unleash Cam Thomas

 

[SacTownKid]

Monte, up your game bro, time is now. lol.

 

[serbiangoat]

Sure but not like Russ solves that problem

I agree but with Spo having a obsession with small ball and having PG's/SG's play the 4 spot he might think it works. The Heat needs talent if they want to compete this year Herro/Bam/Jimmy with like 10 undrafted players just ain't enough they need to make any move for a back up PG/starting PF. Wall or Westbrick going to Miami I think.

 

[iowamcnabb]

I really hate this but that’s a great haul for the Nets

 

[Tetsujin]

Nets gonna have to trade at least one of their wings even if they’re rebuilding lol

Bridges/DFS/Cam Johnson/Jae/Royce/Yuta/Joe Harris and I’m sure I’m forgetting someone
