Draft Trade Tracker

Maybe, maybe not. As a team, Orlando was 9th in rebounding...Portland was 25th. I remember when fans would bash Duck for his lack of rebounding yet the Blazers led the league in rebounding. Sometimes individual stats don't tell the whole story.

true. However, Buck, Kersey, and Clyde were all top rebounders for their positions

but to your point, you don't have to look that far back. JJ Hickson was a rebounding machine. He averaged 10.4 rebounds for Portland in 2012-13. But that season the Blazers were 24th in reb/game, 19th in defensive rebound rate, and 23rd in offensive rebound rate

the very next season Portland replaced Hickson with Robin Lopez. Lopez average 2 less rebounds a game. Yet, with the rest of the roster pretty much the same, the Blazers led the NBA in rebounds/game, were 3rd in off. rebound rate, and 13th in def. rebound rate. Hickson failed to block out anybody most of the time. Lopez was big enough and had the BBIQ to block out somebody on every shot, on both ends of the floor, and sometimes managed to block out two people

that was a primary reason that Portland won 33 games with Hickson and with essentially the same team won 54 games with Lopez. The Blazers did add Mo Williams and he was an underrated addition

More chatter that DAL is very open to moving the #10 for a center good in the PnR.

Anyone here know anyone that fits that description?

The pick, yes. The roll...

set Dame and Doncic aside, and Dallas actually has worse assets than Portland. #10 would be nice leverage, but Dallas has nothing else worth moving Nurkic for

the best I can cone up with is Nurk for 10 + Bullock + McGee. Not sure why Dallas would trade 10 for Nurk though. I'd imagine they could do better

 

[DDolla]

Is there any fat boy we can draft in the 2nd round? We need to find our Jokic

Who knows who it could be. Just sharing what I heard. Didn't put any names to it. Nurk certainly might fit that profile, but as mentioned, DAL has very few assets to move or include.

Jake Stephens is 7' with a reported 7'10" wingspan and is a crush '3'-pt shooter. Then again, he is currently projected as an UDFA....and isn't really fat.

Thought this was interesting. In the last 4 Drafts, there have been:

16
18
21
24

trades made on Draft nights. Many pundits think that number could be even higher this year.

I'd be curious how many lotto and 1st round trades there are. We see a ton of irrelevant 2nd round ones for teams to buy sell picks or get a cheap minimum contract.

It doesn't seem much has changed since the OP. These teams are still discussing moves up/down or trading extra picks for future assets. Updated a couple of the notes:

Charlotte - #2 - although that seems to have died down a bit
Portland - #3/23/43 - #3 for the right price? #23 + player to get a vet?
Houston - #4/20 - wants to move up
Detroit - #5 would like to move up
Orlando - #6/11/36 - don't want that many more rookies and want to grow into a Playoff team
Pacers - #7/26/29/32/55 - very likely IND won't use them all
Jazz - #9/16/28 - may use them all as they are building, but 3 1st is a lot to add in one year
Mavs - #10 - might use it in a S&T for with Kyrie for Ayton although that seems to have died down
Nets - #21/22 - the endless Dame chatter, though that seems unlikely

If Detroit wants to move up then get Duren and 5 and tell any player that doesn’t like it to fuck themselves. 3 and ? For 5 and Duren?

Who would fans want at #5?

Whitmore or Ausar +Duran >>> Scoot/Miller?

Fans would want some asshole who shoots well. The team should look at length, defense and rebounding. Or trading it for a vet forward

It would just be 3 and the TPE at least that's what I would think.

 

[Predator]

Whitmore or Jarace Walker for me, although I don't believe we worked out Jarace

I would not do that deal… Scoot or Miller are too good of prospects to pass up unless we are trading for Zion.

Whitmore reminds me a little of Calvin Natt , playing style wise. Natt had a ton of mean inside. Whitmore kind of seems similar. Just a feeling. He may end up being a steal at 5. I like that he's a banger in the trees and a finisher.

Worst passer in draft… no court vision, no thanks!

 

[Tince]

I honestly don’t know. I can’t get a read on what we are gonna do.

I hope we trade 23 to Chicago so we can be done with that bullshit. But if I’m Chicago I say no. If they hold out they could get a better pick.

If we're not needing to trade future firsts in another trade, I would much rather not give up the #23 pick to Chicago this year in hopes they get our pick next year, in a much much weaker draft.

Wonder if Dame would want to go back to Utah… a package of Kessler, Agbaji, 9, 16 would be interesting

YUCK!

 

[Gronk_Brady]

YUCK!

Kessler was 4th in the league in blocks last year at 2.3 a game… AS A ROOKIE! Plus another lotto pick in this years draft, which is considered the best draft in years. You think Miami or Nets deals would be better?

forget 2023 first round picks in a Dame trade. It won't happen. Dame can't be traded until 3 weeks after the draft and he won't be asking for a trade by then

That’s makes sense, my bad… just thought about it since he is back at Weber State right now… I liked the idea of Kessler with Sharpe.

I think trading Dame is the worst possible idea.

Eubanks for #10, let’s go!

I don’t want to trade Dame, but if he forces the issue, and the choice is to trade a potential all star talent to pair with Sharpe for next decade or to trade 33 year old Lillard… then I’m sorry but the logical thing to do is part with Dame.

Kessler reminds me of the Classic Utah center. I think Ainge will Draft Dick at #9.

The Bradley Beal trade added other small pieces:

Suns get:
Bradley Beal
Jordan Goodwin
Isaiah Todd

Wizards get:
Chris Paul
Landry Shamet
2nd round picks (#?)
Pick swaps (#?)

D for the Wizards unless they can spin CP3 for something useful. C- for the Suns unless they can flip Ayton for virtually the rest of a team.
