Trade Deadline: February 6, 2025

[SharpesTriumph]

Somehow get Simons to Orlando as well

 

[KingSpeed]

Maybe the Pistons want more of a push in the standings? They are .500 but somehow thats the 6th seed in the east.

I’d love to get Malik Beasley on our team.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Huerter makes over 4 million more than RW3, which would put us in the tax.
Also, I think the only reason we heard Huerter here was on the potential of Grant to Sac, and he was needed for salary matching. don't think there's any actual interest in Huerter the player

I'm fine just getting Tim Hardaway expiring contract instead of Huerter and letting him walk.

 

[LayneStaley]

Red Mamba is 6’7, 26 years old, and a career 38% 3pt shooter. I think we need more shooting, especially if Ant is moved(now or offseason).

Honestly, I don't want any of those guys.

Stewart is a piece of shit. I don't want him on this team.

I'd rather have picks or expiring contracts.

 

[Phatguysrule]

Hear me out. In a couple years, I think Toumani could be that guy. Following the Jimmy Butler trajectory from early in his career.

It's not impossible. Probably pretty unlikely though.

I would much prefer we had another 2 or 3 lotto picks on our roster or in the 25 or 26 draft...

[lawai'a]

sounds like maybe the blazers are the big winners of the kuzma-middleton trade

 

[blazerkor]

So KD has made it known that he doesn't want to go back to the Warriors per multiple reports. I think a KD for Jimmy swap makes a lot of sense for those two clubs if they kind of want to shuffle things around and see if it works better.

Could that mean the Warriors pivot to pursuing Jerami???

 

[B-Roy]

It changes nothing about the Blazers. We don't get the swap with the Wizards if they're worse than the Bucks. The wording in that tweet is confusing.

 

[RonBrewer]

I see us mentioned by a lot of fans for Anthony Black. I love the Kid but is there any real smoke to that rumor?

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Thats not completely true (as I suspect some people read it), as we don't get the Wizards pick if its the best. We get the best of the Bucks/Blazers picks.

Then the Wizards get the best of either
1. Their pick or
2. The worse of the Bucks/Blazer picks

The Bucks get the worst pick.

What?? does that mean the Trail Blazers get the most favorable of the Bucks, Blazers and WIZARDS pick?

 

[blazerfan11]

Thank you for clarifying that.

I think Ant makes a lot of sense for Orlando, Black would make sense as part of a package for Ant. Highkin reported on Sunday that we are calling around shopping Ant, Jerami and Deandre, said a lot of interest in Ant and Jerami, not much interest out there in Deandre. Highkin also said that teams are calling about Rob but that we want to keep him unless blown away... something about an unprotected first being what would blow us away. No reporting that I've seen on what it would take for Joe to move Ant or Jerami though.

Orlando just makes a ton of sense as an Ant destination - and in that case we'd have a spot for a backup PG while Orlando wouldn't need him so it has always been a very logical move.

in any case if the Blazers are really good in 2028 2029 and 2030 it is going to be very dismal draft-wise for the Milwaukee Bucks, (especially if the Bucks are bad at that time. Edit)

Yeah those Bucks swaps could be worth a fortune.

Yeah those Bucks swaps could be worth a fortune.

If we are a contender at that point and we get to add lotto picks or upgrade to better vets with the lotto picks, that could be a really great time for our team.

So thinking about this more... the only way the Wizards benefit from that swap is if they have a better record than BOTH the Blazers and Bucks in 2027-28.

With how early they are in a rebuild this seems very unlikely, and if its even the case its probably very close to the same record. I can't imagine the Wizards are MUCH better than both us and Milwaukee.

I guess the one quirk is if we miss the playoffs the next three years then make it in 2028 our pick goes to Chicago and no swap happens. Then the Wizards will simply swap with the Bucks, which yeah I could see them being significantly better than. I wonder if the Wizards valued that complex, unlikely but potentially valuable possibility.

 

[blazerfan11]

Yeah those Bucks swaps could be worth a fortune.

Cronin by taking Holiday and the draft pick/swaps from the Bucks could really have done a number on that franchise.

 

[blazerkor]

If the Warriors are out of the Durant sweepstaks and lets say the Durant/Butler swap is where things are headed would you guys like this deal assuming that we waive or flip GP2weeks and Looney? Is Jerami worth Kuminga and Moody to the Warriors?

If they ever explore trading Giannis were the #1 team they will contact first.

And cut Payton immediately. LOL

I see no chance Warriors give us Moody and Kuminga for that. That would be a haul IMO

I personally don't want anything to do with paying Kuminga but I know many others like him. If the Warriors value him I'd think they wouldn't want this deal either. Hurts their future but not enough talent to make them contenders now.

 

[blazerkor]

I still think that Orlando makes sense for Ant and Dalano would give them another perimeter scorer they're lacking.

The trade is Ant and Dalano for Anthony Black, Cole Anthony and I think some draft capital would be coming our way as well. Maybe it's Denver's first in this upcoming draft, maybe it's some second rounders or maybe we send them a couple of seconds and get Denver's 2025 FRP.

The trade works for the CBA even though we shed some salary it also doesn't put Orlando into the luxury tax.

Kuminga isn't needed anymore.

 

[blazerkor]

What would reuniting Rob with Ime look like... is Cam Whitmore worth what Joe is saying. We'd have to waive Jeff Green unless we made another trade that sent more players out than it returned.
