Trade Deadline Thread

[devilalum]

I could be wrong, but I think they don't own Brooklyn's pick, but just the right to swap order in the first round, which would mean they can't trade their pick because it is essentially that Brooklyn pick.

They've got tons of picks. If they want PJ they should be able to work something out.

Celtics want Tucker. They should be able to cough up a #1. Their first in this years draft would work.

Draft Rights to Zizic for Tucker would be perfect for us and fair for them

Not too much use for a late first round pick.

Celtics should be interested in Chandler too, they need rebounding.

If I'm Boston I keep Zizic. Not buying they want Tucker anyway.

Do you know when Zizic could come over? I'd trade Tucker for him if he is not one of those players that choose to stay in Europe.

Saltlake Tribune claims we are interested in Favors.

Only way I would do that if all it took was some combination of Knight plus Dudley, Barbosa, Tucker, Chandler..

Favors is having a bad year, similiar to Knight. He is only playing 24mpg. Plus I don't like Favors much, he is a PF with no perimeter skills so basically he is a center. I don't think center is something we really need.

Suns should just trade the vets for far into the future 1st rounders. They cant take on any more young guys ont o the roster after this draft that all need PT. The 1st rounders can be used as a trade asset in a couple years when it is time to acquire vets of our own.

Favors could be interesting at the right price. I agree he is only a fit at center, but he's a defensive presence who offers some low-post scoring and even though he is only 6-10' he seems to have the bulk to play center effectively in today's NBA.

He's only 25, but he seems to be injury-prone as of late. Bad knees can be troublesome. That said, without those issues he probably isn't on the market.

I think he is an intriguing target, but I would hope we would avoid trading draft pick(s) or any top prospects. I agree with the list of players above, but would also at least consider the idea of moving Len or Warren as part of the package.

No wonder we are stuck with this trash team when Mcdonough wants 1st round picks for 38 year old bench players

 

[slinslin]

Tucker is 31 and probably attractive for every playoff team. McD is right to ask a high price for him.

 

[AzStevenCal]

I'd offer Brandon Knight and the first Miami pick for Favors.

He is right to want a first rounder for him. BTW. This is not a trash team. It is a young team with a bright future, which is exactly what they are supposed to be in this stage of rebuilding.

 

[devilalum]

I would package Chandler, PJ and BK for expiring garbage.

Is it a young team with a bright future?

Bledsoes been around for 7 years. Our leader & good player, but he's not Steph or Kyrie.
Len for 4 years. He's a mid level guy. He's done growing. Stop making the excuse hes young. Hes not. At 4 years, hes a veteran.
Chriss. Good, not great. any reason to think he's going to be Kawhi Leonard? No.
Bender is 5 years away from even being Chriss.
Warren, 3 years. good player when healthy.
Booker- clearly our best player.

We arent a team full of future superstar rookies. We have Booker. Great. And what else? The rookies we do have might eventually be good players, but not superstars. We have far less building blocks than you think.

And worse yet, Mcdonoughs presence will forever hurt our future. Hes a terrible GM with no vision and no plan. That Dragic/Thomas/Lakers pick trainwreck shouldve gotten him fired.

That guy is going to milk the Booker pick like Mugatu from Zoolander. "I INVENTED THE PIANO KEY NECKTIE!". We havent won since Mcdounugh got here, and we wont win till hes gone.

I'd offer Brandon Knight and the first Miami pick for Favors.

I would like to have Derrick Favors or better yet, Trey Lyles. I don't think the Jazz will be able to afford both down the line. However, I think Favors is the most likely to be traded. If Favors can play some center so much the better.

Favors contract runs through 2017-18.

I'm not sure if the Jazz would want Brandon Knight but the Suns have other pieces.

 

[Mainstreet]

I think Chandler and Tucker have positive trade value but I agree with you about Knight. Besides, Tucker is an expiring contract so no need to dumb him for an expiring contract.

I'm thinking addituon by subtraction.

Rumors are they now want Chandler to shore up their rebounding. Nobody knows... they are just guessing.

 

[Mainstreet]

I understand.

I still think Chandler and Tucker have positive trade value. How much, I don't know.

I corrected my typo to read: "I think Chandler and Tucker have positive trade value but I agree with you about Knight."

Is it Thursday yet? Sick of being on pins and needles...Do something McD!!

Teams pursuing Brooklyn’s Bojan Bogdanovic suggest they’re ramping up on offers, process moving closer to Nets choosing best available deal.

Alex Kennedy‏ @AlexKennedyNBA
Teams continue to believe Lou Williams will be traded before the deadline. No change, even with the Lakers changing management.

For some reason, I feel like if we really think we're young and the future is bright, there's not much downside to keeping Chandler.

On a good team, he could contribute. His contract is acceptable and he could be a good veteran presence.

So I guess, if you're McD and you're thinking of competing for the playoffs next year, why not keep Tyson?

I think a lot of fans are anxious as well.
