OT: The trade deadline watch thread. 02/06/25

[95pro]

The trades have started, kind of.

The Clippers are trading PJ Tucker, Mo Bamba, a future second-round pick and cash to the Utah Jazz for Drew Eubanks and Patty Mills.

Mills is a good get for them

 

[Mainstreet]

Mills is a good get for them

He is solid depth.

 

[Yuma]

I seriously doubt it, he has almost zero value, and we have him locked up cheap.

Those rookie contracts are gold for over the apron teams like us!

 

[Germz249]

I am willing to throw Beal and all picks for Kyrie.

Can you get the last Laker first rounder for Nurkic? That would be epic!

If the Mavericks couldn't get it, the Suns GM certainly wouldn't be able too.

Yeah, but we are talking about @Germz249! You don't have faith in him?

@Germz249 is my guy, but he can only lead a horse to water. He can't make them drink.

 

[Hoop Head]

I love how @Germz249 has accepted the role of ASFN's Flex for us. Whether he can make a trade happen or not, he's good in my book.

The Lakers are aggressively pursuing athletic rim protecting centers on the trade market.Nic Claxton and Robert Williams are two players to keep a very close eye on over the next few days.

The Mavericks should have gotten the Lakers other first round draft pick. It's bizarre how they left that on the table.

Makes me think Lakers looking for that athletic center as mentioned before. They aren't done dealing. Maybe Mavs aren't either. This just made this week much better for trades.

And both teams are doing these trades on a budget, unlike another franchise I know.

That's the one piece that doesn't add up. I agree 1000% the Mavs should have made them cave on that. That's either a good GM in LA or a bad one in Dallas.

 

[Germz249]

I am working on it.. Best I can do at the moment is Torrey Craig.

When is it our turn?

You say that as if getting butler is a good thing.

It’s so not.

Better than a Beal thing.

 

[Mainstreet]

When is it our turn?

When the other teams are out of ammo.

Also, I can see some spinoff trades.

League sources say that the Warriors did seriously explore trade constructions that would have brought both Zach LaVine and Nikola Vučević to the Bay Area before Golden State opted to focus on other trade pursuits.More NBA trade coverage from me: https://tinyurl.com/jare3rvm

 

[Yuma]

If we get stuck with Beal this trade deadline, I'm good standing pat and keeping our draft picks. Maybe using both the ones we have this year. Time helps us with Nurkic because he becomes expiring. We also could use him as a back up center. Not ideal, but he's workable. Beal is Beal. Probably going to have to wait his contract out, bottom line.

We shall see. Or we won't. -FLEX (TM)
