Trades possibilities....and what teams are open for business

[Pinwheel1]

I think they should convert Malcolm into a pick now. If we wait till the deadline, he could get hurt. And everybody knows we're not going to resign him and they'll think we're desparate to trade him..

I agree with you but I just don't think anyone will do that before the draft. Teams will want to see who falls to them first. So maybe tomorrow night, or in July after free-agent signings??

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Don't know or care if this was suggested earlier, but Im going to suggest that the Rockets trade #3 and Steven Adams for Jerami + both 2nd round picks.

Yes, I know it would *never* happen, but realistically I'm tired and not making sense.

NO WAY! I value those second rounders more than our first rounders!

How about


...because I don't care about those picks yet.

Thing is, Houston supposedly has its sights set on Durant, so they would only do this if they thought that Phoenix would prefer Jerami over whomever they pick at #3.

They might trade during the draft if someone they want didn't fall to them.

A team like the Lakers for example is in win now mode, they need a PG. We could get their pick, then package 14 and 17 to move back up.

Yeah, but that would be tricky since the draft is now spread out over 2 days. The Lakers might not know if the player falls to them until Thursday night, so moving up on Wednesday would be tough for us

I’m anxious to see if Dallas and Portland can get to an agreement on a Grant trade. Lots of chatter

They don't have shit to give us.

Some picks. That’s about it.

Likely trying to find a 3rd team for THJr.

 

[RR7]

Yeah, I don't love it. An unprotected '25 pick for Grant, but likely to be 20+. Getting out of Grant's deal is nice, but there's not a lot they can offer.

Eww

 

[RR7]

Eww

Agreed.

 

[e_blazer]

Eww

True, but it's consistent with virtually Portland trade rumor: Blazers bent over and grabbing their ankles.

 

[CJ_is_Gone]

Eliminate all the seconds.

Send Dallas '31 to Portland & send #40 and Reath to Detroit

I’d like to get at least a couple picks for him.

Can they add some swaps to this?

I would do this.

 

[RR7]

For some reason it wouldn't allow the '31 in, because of the stepien rule, but it would be fine, because their '30 pick move is just a swap. So yeah, I would make that change.

Can they add some swaps to this?

I would do this.

Forgot about swaps, throw in a swap in '26, maybe in '27 and 29 also

Malc is the most likely gone although might not be the first gone. Parse that....

 

[Kell]

I wouldn’t get to greedy with trade proposals or you will surely be disappointed. But maybe I am wrong and we kill the night!??!

is this what you are hearing from your sauces, or internet chatter

Deal in place w/ Grant, Timelord or Ant if the right player falls???

 

[Mediocre Man]

Williams is great when healthy, but I think it would be a complete failure if he’s not traded tonight

It sounds like a lot depends on who is available where. Malc gets moved at some point, but a team may prefer another player depending on who is available for them as well.

The teams with the most 'juice' around them for a potential move continues to be HOU, SA and MEM.

 

[andalusian]

I would be shocked if anyone trades for him until they see him playing a bit. Gut feeling, before this happens, any trade that happens with him is for shit in a box and they don't even bother to include the cover to the box.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

You guys do realize some trades might have to wait for the new league year to start -- right ?

The only team that has been linked to Grant that pretty much has to get a deal done in the next couple days before the new league year is the Mavs cause of the CBA.

We the fans might have to be a little more patient in terms of trades UNLESS we use a vet to trade up in the draft.

They can submit those trades right now. So if an agreement is met that will be consummated on the new league year... we will hear about it.

The league will say players to be named later and Woj or Shams will report who the players are.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Now maybe Houston can switch their focus to Jeremi Grant?

Also some teams have an actual impetus to trade now before the turn of the season on July 1 due to second apron hell (cough: Dallas).

Perhaps @Ripcity4life77 is the one that needs to realize things before talking down to people.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

I am trying to be nice and I was not trying to talk down to people

I think since I have been back I have not been an asshole now that should not get any applause credit or whatever but I do realize before I left I was a total ass to alot of members of the forum.

Illmatic - if you have a problem with me tell me cause others do similar things and do not get called out

 

[inconceivable]

I prefer us to trade our vets for future draft assets like what the Nets did
