Sochan for Monk - win-win!

I mean, we see these trades frequently in the NBA. If you ignore age and contract status then yes, a lot of trades can look odd.

I know....it was just the way the tweet was worded that caught my attention:

"The Spurs appear open to moving Jeremy Sochan during trade season for an impact rotational upgrade."

lol..."appear" to be willing to upgrade....but you never know!!

Not exactly a big move, or even medium sized move, but I'd send someone from the end of our bench to Det for Marcus Sasser. I'm tired of hearing the "we already have Scoot, Jrue and Dame" opinion. We lose games because our offense relies on 1v1 scoring and falls apart when it counts. Once the others come back then move him or whatever, or keep him as our 3rd/emergency PG. The upside is a super quick, defensive PG that can actually keep guys in front of him (getting constantly beat off the dribble is a low key weakness) and is a streaky shooter. Plus, he's tough for his size.
If he's gonna rot on the end of the Det bench, then why not? At worst, it doesn't work and we're out a Reath, Love (who I like a lot), Rupert or a srp. At best, a defensive upgrade for our current #2 PG spot (not even sure who that is, probably would be our best defensive PG as things currently are), someone to actually run an offense and an asset for the near future.
A lot of teams have success with that pesky PG off the bench that brings a spark and can be a positive in many situations. Think McConnell, Podziemski, Alvarado, George, Shead, Tyus Jones, Wallace, Caruso, Dunn, Wesley and the list goes on. Right now we're just spinning our wheels.

This might not be Blazer-related, but looking at someone that might make a desperation move at the deadline, I wonder if the Rockets, who are losing to the Clippers right now, could be a team that would make a deal.

That team was supposed to be looking to challenge the Thunder along with the Nuggets heading into the season, but it's sixth in the West right now, being chased by Phoenix and Golden State. With Durant, they're looking to win now.

I wonder if they'd try to make a move of Jrue (if he comes back healthy) centered around a return of either Jabari Smith or Eason.

Amazed how quickly we want to trade young guys when they show any signs of struggling. Several of our guys are being asked to play out of their normal role. Examples
1. Deni and Sharpe are being asked to not only bring the ball up but also be distributors (in long run this is good for both guys. They are also being doubled way more lately because teams know the others aren’t beating them (this is also great for them)
2. Tou is supposed to be a 3 and D guy but even he is being asked to be a facilitator and play more of an offensive role when he should be catching open 3 point shots

We have no pg and only 3-4 regular rotation players playing on any given night. Most nights we have end of our bench playing 20+ minutes a game. No team in league can withstand that over a long period of time. Nothing against these guys but they are end of bench players for a reason.

My advice enjoy the ride, watch as Denis game flourishes, and Sharpes shooting continues to improve. With maybe one of the best draft classes since 84’ wouldn’t be the worse thing to get into the lottery mix while still developing some of the young guys.
