Collins is the one on that list that plays 4/5 and fits the criteria of playing with or without Sabonis on the floor

They can have the pick as far as I am concerned. This is the time to bet on ourselves. This roster is almost fully stacked. Let's finish building this and enjoy it.
I've gone back and forth on this. I think a back up forward will be able to get more meaningful minutes. But either would be great.
The ones he succeeds in moving. He has had his share of guys he hung onto too long with the Celtics and I think teams have to be desperate or naive to deal with him.
Johnson deal to me hinges on whether or not Sharpe gets included.
I haven’t watched a single Utah game this year but see Collins has good all around numbers. He’s also a year and a half younger than Cam, not a huge difference but maybe a consideration.
Bottom line I just really want to see something happen and though not the uber young athletic types that would be desirable, I recon all four would help.
I think you can get Cam without trading Trey, which is a pretty big benefit. That makes your playoff rotation Keon-Cam-Trey off the bench, which is excellent in my book. If it costs Trey, so be it, but that would be a more ideal world. Already having the 4/5 flex guy that we trust on the team and not have to go find him.
Probably the difference in the protections on the FRP. I like Sharpe, but he's also a RFA next year and I feel like the Nets don't have too much of a reason to play hardball with him with Clax signed to a big deal on their team. I think depends if Trey has to go in the trade or not; if not, you don't have nearly a big a need to get Sharpe back.
I think this probably gives us a hint on what the perceived value of the 2031 FRP is after we get Spurs = Nothing at all.

Teams that make marginal talent upgrades to appease stars tend to suffer long after that star is gone. Trading Fox and appeasing Fox are two totally different levels of what if.

Precursor to Jimmy Butler for Beal?

Really begs the question then, what is it going to take to make a tangible talent upgrade? That is the tough spot that McNair has been in with this roster
Only if Miami prefers three crappy picks to one potentially great pick. I guess if that's what floats their boat.

He did though, that talent upgrade was DeMar DeRozan in FA and taking Carter as the dropper on draft night. This isn't the same team that McNair started with. In fact think back to the team he was handed, that's monumental change around Fox already. Is this team going to win 9 out of 10 games from here on? Probably not, haha, but there's upside now. It's been a bumpy ride but only a playoffs with this squad can give him more clues. Monte didn't follow some of those clues heading into year two and it cost him dearly. The Kings needed another player to take pressure off of Fox in iso, DeRozan isn't an ideal fit for a variety of reasons but under perhaps the right coach we are now seeing that potential. Now to see if it helps come playoff/play in time if and when the DHO's fade again. Then if Fox is even remotely set on bailing and Monte knows this, then he has to start looking at alternatives come draft night to move towards the team left behind.

How much value does that pick hold with the Spurs being able to swap? I'd guess teams are expecting the Spurs with Wemby to be a heck of a lot better than most teams by that point.

They are definitely trying to pull something off.

How does Beal to Milwaukee even work salary wise Beal is at 50 Middleton is 31 and there an apron team

Milwauke wants to move Connaughton and Portis as well. Toronto rumored to be the fourth team.

How stupid can a team be to think they’d get better going from Middleton, Portis, and Pat to Beal

They have to get out from under the apron first before they can even consolidate salaries though.

This would probably be one of those "more flexible trade pieces" trade a la when Webber was moved. Beal is actually still better than any of those other players but that contract is a noose with the no trade clause. The Bucks are at that stage where they have to keep shifting their balance and two desperate teams do make a match, lol.

And Monte has to get Cam if butler lands in Phoenix

Are we sure he’s better than Middleton? He’s for sure not better than Middleton and Portis combined now add in Beal is injury prone just like Middleton

That might be where those picks come in, send one to a team to take on some money. If teams can still trade the MLE then there could be something. Maybe Monte should get in on that one. Take some salary and a 1st for the cost of doing business and swing it over to someone else like maybe the Nets for Cam?
SacTownKid

Middleton is still OK, but he's not the same player. Some nights he looks cooked for sure. The injuries have taken their toll. He still a skilled player but it is what it is. Beal misses games but he's not falling apart in the same ways.

It’s likely a late first rounder which is what Collins is worth imo.

That's interesting. That better be heavily protected at that point and then what's the point for Utah haha.

or they plan to give Miami a first plus whatever the third team sends to the Heat and the facilitator gets 2 firsts for their trouble
