The Woj text was unclear. Are we supplying all the second round picks in this trade?

Maybe the plan for the 5 spot is to play Nurk only about 12 minutes a night against most lineups and give most of the minutes to Drew and Trendon except when we're going up against another immobile big, in which case we give Nurk a bunch of minutes.

Or maybe we're not done... still a couple of hours.

The Sixers did an excellent job defensively with Embiid in drop-coverage and MT on the perimeter. This would work with Nurk as well, if Chauncy is willing to adjust his defense when Nurk is in the game.

Time to dump GP2. We do not need both and Thybule is much longer

I don't know... I've seen Lillard/Ant/GP2/Hart/Grant work well this year. Plug Thybule or Reddish in there and that's one fast/athletic team to contend with on both sides of the ball... just my 2 cents.

But a defensive unit with Grant, Thybule and GP2 is an excellent option for certain situations.

Yep... you could probably only play that lineup in strictly defense end-of-game scenario, but assuming we have a timeout at the end of game to sub our offensive guys back in... there would really be no need to see Dame or Ant in the game in a last second defensive possession.

2029 is from us; 2024 from NYK supposedly

If we are only supplying 1 second and Svi (who I would have wanted to waive anyway), this is a nice gamble on Matisse.

Edit: or is that 2024 Knicks pick from us too? Or is it a previously unknown add from the Hart trade, and we are just tying it all together? I'm confused... I'll be patient.

Yeah it's weird, seems like Chauncey has been more comfortable dropping Drew this year than Nurk.

Nurk is not the same dude around the rim for sure, but that is an odd choice to me

That's a big if, Chauncey has insanely demanded that Nurk play Chauncey's style of D so far but here's to hoping.
 
I want to be on record early: If the trade is Svi and a 2nd for Thybulle, I don't think it's worthy of getting excited about or upset about. It's an ok move.

Anyone making it out to be great or horrible is reaching.

Yeah but we also have Winslow who has had success this year and also has no outside shot. Someone needs to go and Winslow can guard stronger players (and handle the ball at the 4) I would rather keep the cheaper Winslow along with Thybule.

Yeah, the stakes of this trade are too low to be anything more than really a meh+ or meh-.
 
The Blazers still have too many players

Yesterday you were update that we didn't make a trade that was a talent upgrade today, despite get a 1st round pick.

Today we trade Svi & a 2nd(s) for Thybulle and you're upset about a pick going out.

I'm telling you, there is a trend!

I'm upset? Interesting..... you're able to pull quite a bit out of a pretty flat statement.
 
Makes the Hart trade more palatable.

By "there goes that pick!" you were referencing the one obtained from the Knicks yesterday, correct?
