Trade ET Traded

[Blazinaway]

Turner was garbage that’s obvious but this does mean one less ballhandler. Could mean Simons is going to have the ball in his hands a lot, but we’re probably in the market for another point guard as well.

As for Bazemore, I wonder if he’s Hoods replacement.

I was wondering that as well, does this trade lessen the chances we try to retain Hood?

 

[Scalma]

Woj is Neil’s mouthpiece so this probably means Hood is gone.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Can't...process....

 

[Mediocre Man]

Wait, is this fucking real?

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

If we do not resign Aminu, it is going to be so much easier to watch this team shoot the ball. Do not have anything against Chief or ET but hated watching their form.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Bazemore is a better player.

Well, yeah. Duh. That clearly goes without saying. It's just adding a little more salary where I thought we were trying to decrease some salary.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Wanted to check it on Trade Machine and all the contract numbers have vanished since yesterday.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I love the trade! But sad as well as I think people know something and Hood isn't returning.

 

[Shaboid]

Totally cool with this move. ET, go home.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Bazemore can shoot. Turner cannot.

Still not a great 3 pt shooter. But we can still trade him at the deadline.

Use tradenba.com, it’s better anyway since you can play around with draft picks.

maybe Neal is not nearly done.....

 

[Scalma]

Like that was really your call....?

Some days I pretend it is.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

If it doesn’t include any extras then it’s an absolutely brilliant piece of business. Bazemore is quite good.

Yeah, this is the part I don't understand.

 

[Jon]

FU... KING... YES!!!!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I don't like this. Yes, Turner had a terrible contract, but he also had PG skills and was a solid defender and could score in the low post. Most importantly, if we were to trade for Kevin Love, it would be using his contract. This trade is an acknowledgement that that's not happening. Also it looks like an acknowledgement that we're losing either or both of Hood and Aminu.
And Bazemore's contract is at least as bad (cost-to-talent) as Turner.

Yeah, I like this less the more I think about it. Turner had talents that we needed, whereas Bazemore duplicates Harkless and Little.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

I think he will be getting better looks here than in Atlanta.

 

[Scalma]

Simons and Bazemore is probably our second unit backcourt. I like. Bazemore isn’t a lead guard, but he can handle the ball and is a solid defender. At least from what I remember.

 

[Pinwheel1]

I just don't see how we could have resigned Hood. The dude needs to get paid this summer.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Depends on if the market dries up. There is a lot of money this summer but even more players thinking they are getting money.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

Yeah, I like this less the more I think about it. Turner had talents that we needed, whereas Bazemore duplicates Harkless and Little.

If Turner is what we needed, why was he not used more in the playoffs?

Harkless has one year left on his contract and Little has not proved anything yet.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

maybe Neal is not nearly done.....

I said the same earlier. I mean, there's no reason not to make this deal, but it certainly gives hope there's more to come.

I still would not be surprised to see a CJ deal, not that I'm expecting one (and I think this season proved they can play together and we can be successful). NO is upgrading at SG and talking up the talent of Anfernee Simons all in the same week?

 

[wizenheimer]

Some days I pretend it is.

it's always my call in my house....as long as the wife is gone and the internet works

 

[Scalma]

This means my fantasy of using the tax MLE on Markieff is alive! And it’s been mentioned before, but we can now forget about Kevin love, and Gordon Hayward.

I see this as a win because Stotts won't think he has to play Bazemore like he thought he had to play Turner.

 

[B-Roy]

Bazemore is 1 year removed from shooting 39% on threes on a good number of attempts per game. He's a career 35% shooter. He's not great but he's better than Mo, Chief and ET.

 

[Jon]

people are going to call him Blazemore now.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Could mean Simons is going to have the ball in his hands a lot, but we’re probably in the market for another point guard as well.

I hope so. A vet who comes cheap or a youngster they can groom. Either way they need one on the roster,

 

[BigGameDamian]

We will still be getting rid of either Aminu or Harkless.

Only when he's a flame thrower.
