Plausible destinations for our vets?

It’s funny to see Sharpe and Scoot right there at the bottom with Grant lol

 

Now it seems UTA is saying they aint taking on salary and the Lauri trade talk maybe dead. POR should be a the top of the list for a buyer to consider.

 

And they are all still here.

 

I am all for moving Grant, but it is because of his age (in comparison to his teammates) and his contract. I was talking about rebounding only when I said I did not expect more. But he is still a good 2-way player.

 

If there was a 3rd team I would want it to be Utah. I like Ayton's offense a lot, so if we were to trade him it would need to be for a high-scoring forward who would fit well next to Clingan and Deni. I would consider an Ayton for the Lauri trade. (although I would prefer a Grant for Lauri package)

 

I agree with all of that. Lack of rebounding is my biggest concern with him as well as his age not fitting our preferred timeline.

 

Markannan has more trade value to Utah if they can get him to sign an extension - but yes he'd be ineligible to trade until the February deadline.

If Markannan doesn't get an extension by that Aug8 date or whatever it is then he is worth less in a trade since he'd be an expiring contract - but he'd still be available to trade for the entire rest of the summer.

 

I can not believe that Markkanen would consider signing an extension, either normal or in a S&E

if it was a sign & extend, his max 1st year salary would be around 20.7M with a limitation of 5% step raises. If it was a normal extension extension, his max 1st year salary would be 24.2M. He'll probably command 35-40M 1st year as a UFA

 

Let's hope so because Joe isn't going to give Jerami away and especially not to the Lakers. So if Jerami goes to the Lakers we'll get at least one FRP and some guys we can flip.

 

Just because they were Lakers, some would prefer to flip them off before flipping them.

 

Maybe they aren't flippable. I would assume that they have inquired about a 3-way.
Who the Lakers want to send back is not that bad, but are they worth a first?

 

Anyway, we can photoshop who the opponent is and promote it to the rest of the league? Maybe change it so their uniform is .... green.

 

Fuck that noise. I'd rather keep him. (We're not taking Cam Reddish BACK)

 

IF Reddish was swapped out for Knecht? Portland gets a 1st and and recent 1st. Lakers give out only 2029 unconditional. I'm good with it.

 

I want Vanderbilt and I don't want anyone in that package. But who is this bozo anyway?

 

A 1st and rui is pretty good.
