Plausible destinations for our vets?

yeah my expectations are pretty low for any upcoming trades.

 

Nurkic is said to have almost no trade value. And he's about as good as Ayton and makes half the salary.

And players like Simons that score on high volume shooting are a dime a dozen these days.

We may just have to wait for their contracts to expire. Or it's possible their expiring contracts next year have some value.

 

Interesting that Reath could be one of the few guys teams might be interested in.
It’s why I’ve been told that Portland has received early trade calls on reserve center Duop Reath. “He’s really interesting,” one Western Conference executive said.

 

Super cheap salary - so every team could easily trade for him.

Probably worth getting a 2nd round pick if we can.

 

I'd have been interested in reading the article but I'm not going to subscribe

 

not yet he got a pre-draft shoulder injury. sounds like he's ramping up now.

 

I think Joe has to give PHI an offer they cant refuse for their 2025 FRP. Take whatever shit they want to unload but just get that pick. Grant, Shaedon, etc. Anyone but Deni or Toumani.

 

If only you'd bought that bitcoin you could subscribe

 

Philly can't trade their pick - OKC owns (top6 protected).

So OKC could trade it to us but we'd only get it if its #7-30.

Philly can't trade the #1-6 portion because of the Stepien rule.

 

I would take 7-30 but OKC wont trade it. They have no need to.
thanks for the info

 

Can we package Thybulle with Reath?

 

Sure, Reath can be packaged with anyone because his salary is small.

Id think the problem is Thybulle has negative trade value though.

Would be better to just eat Thybulle contract but get a 2nd round pick for Reath.

 

Franz Wagner is out indefinitely. Get on the horn Joe. Give ORL everybody for crissakes

 

They seem like good partners, and there's been talk of them wanting Simons, but they don't have any expiring contracts.

 

I don't care of they are expiring contracts. We can take bad contracts. Just give us good picks.

 

Getting a good pick for Simons at this point would be an absolute miracle. He’s been exposed

 

The Magic don't really have bad contracts though.

Seems like most the teams with bad contracts are rebuilding and want to keep their picks.

The Spurs took on bad contracts for picks in July but we started the summer in the luxury tax so weren't able to look for those opportunities. Might be that they are commonly in June/July with the new CBA as teams are just more proactive about not having had contracts.

 

I'd take a pick for Simons and Grant/Ayton at this point. But yeah. You're probably right.

I just want more FRPs.

 

Oh me too my guy.

Jerami for sure should yield a first, at this point I think several seconds and a young prospect is best case for the other two.

but, we also have Reath/matisse and time lord to continue to pack the chest.

we’re in a good position right now despite the pessimism all around

 

Yep, agreed. I'd include them as well. I just don't think they necessary NEED to go. But yeah, if we can turn them into first rounders, absolutely.
