Feels like none of these trades makes the team better. The way they get better is to swing for the fences and deal one of the top 3 and hope they get a great return or a top 3 pick in the draft. Anything else just loses one annoying player for a new one.

I think I'd rather keep pat. Better defender, lower paycheck, much more upside. Marco looks to simply be more aggressive on offense.

Agreed. If you look at per-36 minute or per-100 possession numbers, you will see that Belinelli is a much more aggressive scorer.

I like Pat, especially given his age and contract, but I think there are times, especially in the playoffs, where we need that aggressive third scorer when teams focus on locking down Dame and C.J. I'm not talking about a Pat for Marco swap. I think Marco would make us better short term, but Pat is a better long term solution.

I guess it depends on the goal this year, since Belinelli is an expiring contract, and what we'd have to give up for him. If the goal is to get a higher seed and increase our chance of getting past the first round, I'd be willing to give up a future second rounder and a player that isn't part of the current rotation.

No argument at all. But Belly usually plays the 3 and Pat has been ( Not that it can't change) playing the 2.
But yes he does slide to the three at times like last night when Stotts was going with three guards. Belly though is not really a shooting guard. He is a sharp shooter and is used as such. I think he would augment Pat well if given a chance to be on the court together with a quick guard like Napier.
Just my take.

Agreed I think they both play a little at the 3 but I wouldnt want either of them doing that majority of the time. My main apprehension is the need for length and defense on the perimeter.

Belinelli makes over 6 MM this season.

Vonleh + Layman for Belinelli works.

I'd be fine trading Layman for a bag of chips. Vonleh has fallen out of the rotation, but I think we might be able to get something more valuable for him than a half season Belinelli rental.

Here's one most forum members will find more palatable:

Meyers for Belinelli.

Works and gets us under the luxury tax threshold.

The question is, what else would we have to give ATL?

Probably a good change of scenery for Meyers, too. At least he wouldn't have to worry about the hometown fans booing him. They have none.

i'd like that but if we could expand it to get ride of ET for Bazemore i'll take that as well.
 


This would be an Olshey special. This is someone I’ve wanted to take a chance on for awhile. I know his numbers are whatever, but this would be the definition of buying low. His shooting percentages when playing 20+ minutes last season were very impressive.

McLemore and Brendan Wright’s expiring for Leonard(Or Moe) and Layman works financially.

I think we stay put. And based on the realistic trade proposals I'm seeing I think it's the right move.

I'm sure we'd have to take Parsons and his contract.

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported earlier this week that the Detroit Pistons have been one of the most aggressive teams in the trade market.

So, which Pistons might be available via trade?

Forward Stanley Johnson is one name that has come up in the Pistons’ conversations with other teams, per ESPN sources.

Opposing teams have come away with the impression that Johnson is available for the right return.

Pleaseeee basketball god have Detroit put Tobias Harris on the block. I bet Jackson, Johnson, and Bradley are who who they are shopping.

You really think the Grizzlies would give up the best two players (one of whom is expiring) for Meyers Leonard and that contract?

Anything outside of us giving them $15M+ works financially.
 
The guy the Grizzlies are really going to try to deal is Parsons. You want Evans or McLemore or anyone else on that team your going to have to take on Parsons and his contract.

There really is nothing that suggests McLemore is actually a better, or more valuable player than Meyers. Leonard’s numbers show he’s a better shooter and more impactful on both ends of the court. He also plays a more premium position.

Why would anyone with a brain take on Parsons for a rental like Tyreke Evans? Plz reboot.

Ok, but why would MEM wanna swap 2 years and $10M of McLemore for 3 years and $30M of Leonard?
