Exclusive 2019 Trade Deadline Thread

[Chris Craig]

Nik Stauskas and Wade Baldwin to Rockets

Cavs:

Knight
Chriss
1st

Rockets:

Iman Shumpert
Stauskas
Baldwin

Kings:

Alec Burks

 

[Blazinaway]

Would you do Harkless and a 1st for Skal and whatever ends up being their highest 2nd? Currently we'd be moving down 15 spots for the salary dump. We'd duck the tax, clear up the rotation, and possibly free up the Full-MLE this summer.

rather do Hark and a 1st for Mirotic and not worry about tax this yr

 

[illmatic99]

I think the Rockets just got better

 

[Chris Craig]

A little bit. They added Shumpert

Well I would do that trade but would pelicans want Harkless.

 

[jonnyboy]

Wade and Nik’s Lives just got a lil better.

 

[Chris Craig]

But, they just arrived in Cleveland and started to unpack

"Welcome to Cle...you've been traded"

 

[illmatic99]

A little bit. They added Shumpert

Also save about 6 mil in their tax payments as well as get out of Knight's salary next season

 

[BonesJones]

I am so out of the loop, but I thought you could only trade players individually after a trade like they did?

No, you can't "aggregate" the salaries of recently traded for players in order to match incoming salary.

 

[Blazinaway]

Well I would do that trade but would pelicans want Harkless.

who knows, depends on what other offers are out there, with all these trades the "buyers" for Mirotic are likely shrinking

They wanted him last summer.

I’d be happily packing my shit back up.

 

[illmatic99]

Guessing the CLE-HOU deal is multiple ones. They can't be traded in a combo

Problem is now due to Houston got shumpert they now turn around and trade shumpert for Mirotic.

I wish it was a better source

Nope. They already traded their pick

 

[James lamphear]

Nope. They already traded their pick

OK

"Welcome to Cle...you've been traded"

It's the Steve Blake or Luke Ridnour feeling...I think Luke got traded an NBA record of times for a season or something before he retired at the end of it..Blake got traded multiple times

at this point, so many reports, articles, rumors, and blogs are just regurgitating earlier reports, articles, rumors, and blogs which were regurgitating even earlier...etc

it's almost impossible to gauge if something is new.

with Harkless, Layman, Turner, and Hood I don't know why the Blazers would be still interested in Prince, even though he would fit into the TPE. Mirotic makes a little more sense but he almost is just a stretch-PF version of Portland's redundancy at SF. Everybody seems to want Harkless shipped out, but still, the Blazers would be loaded at those stretch positions, and with Mirotic on board, then Aminu and Zach are competing for minutes

sure seems like Portland should be consolidating somewhere

I still keep thinkin Detroit would want to move Blake, maybe another from outta nowhere trade?

I think Dame-Griffin-Nurk would be a much better trio than Dame-CJ-Nurk but I'm convinced Olshey wouldn't trade CJ. I actually wonder if Olshey would even trade CJ for Davis, if that was what NOP wanted

no way can Portland afford Dame-CJ-Griffin-Nurk

How scary is it that this is a legitimate concern?

My "realistic" hope:
POR Gets: Otto Porter Jr, Ian Mahinmi
WAS Gets: Meyers Leonard, Evan Turner, Seth Curry, 2019 & 2021 POR 1sts
SAC Gets: Maurice Harkless

Washington gets a good backup guard in Curry (they need one, Satoransky can be the backup SF behind Ariza), a much needed upgrade at backup C (Howard is hurt and all they have is Bryant and Mahinmi. Also get two picks and get below the tax line.

Sacremento gets a much needed SF for a 2nd round pick.

Then Portland signs Wesley Matthews

Lineup:
Lillard (35) / McCollum (13)
McCollum (21) / Matthews (23) / Hood (4)
Porter Jr. (33) / Hood (15)
Aminu (28) / Layman (20)
Nurkic (30) / Collins (18)

I love this.

[LayneStaley]

It’s us or Utah for Mirotic, come on Neil, pull the fucking trigger.

I love this.

Too bad Porter got traded already

 

[Ripcity4life77]

I have a feeling IF and that is a big IF the Blazers make another trade it will be for someone who has not been mentioned yet or at very least mentioned by a media rumor.
