Exclusive Official 2018 Trade Deadline Thread

[UKRAINEFAN]

Sixers won't give them a first rounder as their are too good - no. 9 or so from Lakers and theirs will be around no. 15.

They could give them a couple of solid second rounders though which might be better value. Might even throw Justin Anderson into the mix.

I was thinking about Blazers.

We won't offer them a first round pick for Evans.

I didn't want him anyway!

Wait, so New Orleans is getting Mirotic and signing Greg Monroe? So stupid.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Final deal:

Asik, Tony Allen, Jameer Nelson and a "minimally protected" first to CHI
Mirotic to NOP

I was looking at that...CHI just looking to extract some value. Min deal, 36 y/o, only played 273 minutes so far this year due to the broken leg...but maybe coming back soon?

Top 55-protected 2nd? The Mo Harkless special?

Why are you whispering Tony Allen's name?

Man, some of these things are just too stupid to believe. If Portland wants to cut salary in the above "deal", why don't they stop at step one when they still have two second round picks? At least at that point they have two picks for Ed. Instead, this nitwit has them taking back Johnson in exchange for the picks and a TPE, thereby ensuring that they don't lose any salary this year to avoid the luxury tax. If you want to cut Ed for next year, just let him walk this summer.

It's fun to say

Iso Joe wants out: https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/248795/Joe-Johnson-Seeking-Trade-From-Jazz

Iso Joe (who is expiring) for ET would be a reasonable trade for Utah, a godsend for us.

What an idiot. We increase our LT bill this year. How does that save money.

And why would PHI send 2nds for another expiring big off the bench? They already got Amir Johnson, Trevor Booker, and Richaun Holmes.

Monroe's from there, I believe. Their defense isn't gonna be too great through.

You're having too much fun with these.

Who on the Heat--that they wouldbe willing to part with--really makes sense for the Blazers?

I have no idea what you are talking about? How the fuck would I know? Love that show

Trading an expiring player for an expiring player.... that saves SO much money!

Besides the fact that Ed Davis is more valuable than Joe Johnson.

Jeff Weltman and John Hammond has left no stone unturned with the deadline approaching, including quietly gauging the trade market on Aaron Gordon, league sources told The Athletic.
http://www.slamonline.com/nba/magic-gauging-trade-market-aaron-gordon/

Gordon’s numbers have fallen back down to earth the last month+, and he’s a pending RFA. I’m not surprised Orlando has put him on the market. He’s a complimentary piece on a good team, but his inflated stats may get him paid like a star.

That being said, I’d love to find a way to get him. A trade centered around CJ wouldn’t work. CJ is worth more and we’d have to take on some of their shitty contracts. Only way it would work is if they included a first, but since that’ll be a lottery pick, I doubt they’d do it.

So here’s what I got:

2018 first, Aminu, Davis, Vonleh for Gordon and Biyombos contract. We’d also have to throw in Layman to make it work financially.

The only problem I see is Gordon's best position is PF and I think Collins is our long term guy there. But they could probably play together too.

 

[illmatic99]

I would go all in on Gordon if he were available. Including trading Collins or Nurkic.
