Welcome Jalen McDaniels

[dude12]

Not being over the tax gives us an MLE twice as big as the one we had access to before.

In other words, hopefully, by trade or FA signing? The return for Davion and Sasha and pick 45 is who we get from the next move…is that correct?

Pretty much.

All my sources say McDaniels makes $4.7M, not $3M. Sasha and Davion made $13M+.

I believe this is also the first year where you can use the MLE and BAE in trades right?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Just has to be the first move Monty has planned unless he plans on keeping Barnes and huerter

At this point I expect another shoe to drop

We used the BAE for Sasha last year so it’s we don’t have that. MLE is fully available though

And shows davion had no trade value

even after turning things around to close the season. It was probably either move him now or let him expire

 

[The_Jamal]

Yeah, I'm not concerned about trading davion and Sasha. But just got to wait for the other shoe...assuming their is one

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Both Mitchell and Vezenkov had little value. The Sasha experiment was a swing and a miss. Will be interesting to see if he gets anything going in Toronto, but I wouldn't bet on it

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Jalen (no, not that one) McDaniels was a horror show in his year in Toronto. Unplayable. Hopefully we at least get Charlotte McDaniels.

 

[Jdbraver137]

I think at the very least we can use the MLE for a wing in FA.

 

[Turgenev]

Including the 45th pick is a bummer. Bad trade for me.

 

[Kingz19]

Obviously a dump. I get it. Wish we could’ve atleast kept our pick for tonight since I didn’t think the last year of Davion’s rookie contract was a massive burden and he’s playable.

Jalen McDaniels fits the mold of a player we need…but similar to Edwards I don’t suspect he’ll play much for us. Maybe he’s the new last 15 seconds of the quarter defensive sub.

 

[Padrino]

Hm. Very clearly a salary dump. Waiting for the other shoe to drop. If it doesn't, it's a rather disappointing return for Mitchell/Vezenkov/45.

To be fair, pretty much everyone looked terrible in Toronto last season. Even the good players they wound up trading looked bad before looking great for their new teams.

bottom line is don't expect much

shooters always have some level of value. Certainly not negative value which is where we are at currently with this trade.

I’m guessing Monte wants “optionality” in the MLE market but if he can’t sign his target(s) this is bad asset management.

as far as 45 goes, I don’t think there will be many good prospects left but at least one will slip through the cracks. We really need a developmental piece or two on the roster. Our cupboards are pretty bare in that regard.

wait we sent the Portland pick from next year out too?

something else definitely has to be on the verge of happening.

That’s basically a first. Gross.

Maybe Monte was really high on the Blazers’ draft class?

 

[miltonap]

Seems like a horrible trade to me, Davion is good and so is Sasha and the 45 pick and McDaniels is trash?

Feels like Monte created a logjam had to just sell low on Davion and got trash in return?

 

[ESP47]

Hopefully this opens up a future move because on it's face it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Kessler is better than McDaniels so I don't see the need to even play him unless he really turns things around.

 

[Folsomkingsfan]

Mid Monte strikes again

 

[gunks]

Well, time for the annual "let's get upset about trading a 2nd round pick even though those guys rarely if ever even crack a bench rotation spot in the NBA" complaints!

We all knew Davion was gonna go after the Carter pick, which looks like an instant upgrade. Sasha didn't work out last season and there was already smoke about him grumbling or considering a return to Europe.

This is not a needle mover in either direction but helps to clear out the guard logjam that everyone was bellyaching about yesterday.

Colby Jones is definitely still a good developing piece,... but isn't a longer wing

It just keeps getting worse. We keep adding more stuff to dump useful players.

 

[The_Jamal]

What the actual hell, we spent 2 seconds to CAP dump Davion and Sasha???? Just keep them as bench depth and let them walk next year at this point

 

[Tetsujin]

Colby Jones is definitely still a good developing piece,... but isn't a longer wing

He’s 6’5”/6’6” and played almost exclusively at the wing whenever he got minutes with the main team last season.

 

[Dongoodboy]

Monte better get his guy, there are teams out there trying to get value in the 2nd rd, especial in the new CBA. But Monte said **** it.
