Grant to Warriors makes so much sense. Actually what would you guys think of a talent infusion swap to Golden State? One final hurrah for them.

Grant
Simons
Timelord

for

Paul
Wiggins
Kuminga
Two picks

Not sure how Golden State values Wiggins at this point. They wouldn’t let him play in the Olympics and that supposedly pissed him off. Are they looking to move off his deal? So we even want to take on that contract? I’d love to add Kuminga and a couple picks from them.

They’re not giving us Wiggins AND Kuminga lol.

They won't want to give us Kuminga, but they probably would like to get rid of Wiggins's contract.

Maybe they won’t give us enough value for Grant AND Simons but I think we could probably come up with something for Grant.

Does this mean that Love thinks he'll get more than 4M on the free agent market or do you guys think that Miami has a deal with him to pay him more than that because they have bird rights???

he only averaged 17 minutes so Per36 needs to be viewed with that context, but he did average 19 pts-13 reb-4.5 ast per36; so he's very productive in the minutes he does play. He also had a PER of 18.5 and a TS% of .597.

Here's five first round picks:

I'd give those up for Bridges in a second. And the picks the Knicks gave up are almost certainly not lottery picks, or heavily protected.

Paul George and Klay need to be settled before anyone's interested in Grant. I predict George to Philly, Klay to Dallas and then Orlando will cast around for something to do with its cap space. (Mind you, we want them to take Anfernee.) Teams want to make a splash, and Grant is a solid player but nobody's idea of a "splash".

Something like this seems possible, although I imagine they'd prefer not to give up Black, who's the only reason I'd want to do this.

Obviously we'd want to flip Anthony (so he doesn't spoil our memory of his father).

3pm Pacific time is when a flood of announcements will likely commence, of course nothing can be "official" for a week or so

I seem to remember being mad that we could've had Bey for one of the picks we gave up for Roco.

for RoCo

16th pick in 2020:

16 Isaiah Stewart
18 Josh Green
19 Saddiq Bey
20 Precious Achiuwa
21 Tyrese Maxey
25 Immanuel Quickley
28 Jaden McDaniels
30 Desmond Bane

and 23rd pick in 2021:

23 Usman Garuba
25 Quentin Grimes
27 Cam Thomas
30 Santi Aldama
35 Herbert Jones
38 Ayo Dosunmu

Blazers potentially missed out on some decent players, mostly smallish guards, but not anybody besides Maxey and Bane really noteworthy. Jaden McDaniels or Herbert Jones would be nice to have though

NY picks and swaps sent out are all unprotected. Very possible if not likely the ones at the end are all lottery picks. Knicks will have tons of pressure to contend next 3 years and will not be building young talent, 3-4 years later that gets exposed.

3 and D rules the NBA. If the Blazers get anything from Golden State it should be (or include) Brandin Podziemski. Good defender, good 3-point shooter.

it's quite possible but the Knicks are a fairly young team in their rotation:


Miles McBride 23
RJ Barrett 23
Immanuel Quickley 24
Precious Achiuwa 24
Mitchell Robinson 25
OG Anunoby 26
Donte DiVincenzo 27
Jalen Brunson 27
Mikal Bridges 27
Josh Hart 28
Julius Randle 29

they could be really good for several seasons

Actually, IIRC Blazers management thought Grant was their “splash” not so long ago.

The Magic could still trade for Simons if they sign George. Fingers crossed.

that gets really difficult. First they'd have to renounce the rights to Fultz

then, after signing PG13, they'd need matching salary for Simons

I suppose it could be the Simons trade first:

that would give Orlando over 40M in space to sign PG13

I just don't see PG going to ORL. They are not contenders if he signs there. BOS and NYN would sweep that team in a 4g series. Who knows if he would even be healthy for a playoff run. He wants a ring so he needs to go to a real contender.

Wow! This trade would make me really happy.

I heard that OKC might be a potential landing spot for Hartenstein. That might take them out of the equation.

Why would OKC give up two 1sts for WCJ? To me, if Orlando has a chance to add Ant AND PG, they should be the one giving up two picks.

But this is actually great.
