Just saw this so please delete if already is a thread I couldn’t find one. Tbh I low key didn’t noticed he hasn’t played in a while, I liked what’s he’s provided the last couple years but it’s a good time to move him. He wants out and he needs to be on a contender. Maybe package him with buddy for a quaintly young coming player or a FRP. Maybe try to get Rui from the wizards for buddy and beli. Kings get another high upside young piece and wizards get more help for a playoff push to keep Beal happy.
Beli requests trade, possible trades?
- Thread starter SactownShaq
- Start date
Yea. before I think we could have gotten a couple second round picks, now its looking like it might end up being a buy out situation or straight swap. He could help a lot of teams I just don't know what they would give up. Buddy's value is also down but I think he's shown enough that teams will still be interested.
If they stay in the fringes of the playoff race, they should just trade him for whatever they can get. He isn't part of the future, and is just a spot minute player as long as HB and Bags are healthy.
But now that they're in the playoff race, it feels like they're always leaving something on the table when they have a close loss. If they start to solidify themselves as a 500 or better team, which is starting to look possible, they should consider holding on if they can't get anything better than a mid to late 2nd. He's still a rotation quality player in most matchups, and would be like a trade acquisition for a young playoff team.

What's the assumption?

The Kings explored trades for Bjelica around the time of the November draft and will likely continue to do so as they begin to rebuild over the next two to four years with players who fit Fox’s timeline, a source said. The organization’s emphasis on developing younger players has temporarily, at least, eliminated the role of Bjelica, a 32-year-old power forward who had a career year for the Kings last season.
So do you think he had more value then or now?

He comes off the books either way this year so I don't think its a matter of "greed" if Monte won't just move him to low bidders. There's no harm keeping him with the team on leave if the right deal doesn't emerge. At least that makes it clear to teams he won't be a waiver wire pick up, plus gives us some insurance heaven forbid someone gets hurt. I don't think we need to worry too much about upsetting his agent right now, that guy can DIAF.
SOMEONE will want him at the deadline. I am sure of it.

I liked that idea, too, but I would think if a late first round pick had been on the table, Monte would have jumped. Utah ended up dumping Davis’ contract instead; it’s possible they preferred keeping the pick and the cap space.
The Sixers have a trade exception that would fit him, and potentially a need for a stretch big, but I’m not sure what they’d be willing to offer.

This doesn't make any sense. He's a vet that teams know what he can do. If we didn't get a good offer before the season, why trade him? His value hasn't diminished from that time. Teams will get injuries and/or more desperate over the next month and his value may increase. He's a ball handling 4 who shoots 40% and is a poor defender. He can give 8-16 minutes a game to a playoff team tomorrow.
Absolutely. First Bogi, now (in all likelihood) Beli... just not good asset management. I get that he's not a great fit in some ways, but you're talking about a legit 6'10" guy who shot 40% from 3 in EACH of the previous three years. As we watch HB apparently get run down from excessive minutes, hard to believe that skill alone couldn't have bought him spot relief during the last stretch of games, at least.
Also he's an expiring so his benefits are 1) immediate roster need and 2) comes off books. #2 doesn't change for any team looking to free space next year and #1 - teams typically become more urgent to fill mid-season when injury happens, player wants out, team just wants to upgrade or expand their rotation because they suddenly find themselves in a playoff push. I don't think there was any urgency to trade Bjeli. Teams aren't trading for a young guy with upside here.
Here's what they paid to dump Davis later
The Jazz have issued a press release officially confirming that they’ve sent Davis and two future second-rounders to New York in exchange for cash considerations.

I'm pretty sure they'd of loved to take on Bjelica rather than trade two future seconds.

that’s where I’m not sure. They needed some salary space, from what I understand, to keep Clarkson, extend Gobert and stay under the luxury tax. Trading for Bjelica would have inhibited that.
i can’t say for certain that’s what happened. I just think it’s reasonable that the Jazz said no, and not that the kings asked for too much.
