Trade Ideas 23-24

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Nope nope nopidy nope.

Don't want his sulky attitude. Don't want a guy complaining about his role. Dont think his declining skills help that much. Also don't want to figure out where the other 35 million in contracts comes from.

Just a big old "No thank you".
I agree. Just throwing some stuff around! Wouldn't mind the veteran leadership competing for a Championship! Can't deny his past defensive abilities and though he's been in a slump, if he gets back on a hot streak he'd be nice! Just hoping we don't lose Okoro for nothing at the end of the year! Wow. Didn't realize how much $$$ he was making. Yeah we can stick with Okoro!

He’s a big pussy! He is my least favorite player in the NBA. Ever since he talked shit about LBJ in the 2016 Finals in Game 5 THEN getting his ass handed to him in Game 6 he proceeds to walk off the floor to the locker room with 1:10 left in the game. Game 7 he walked off without shaking hands but Curry and Green stayed on the floor, watched all the celebrations and interviews and then shook hands with LeBron. That’s class….unlike Klay.
 
yeah. Klay is just a "name" right now. He's being benched by Golden State, and that should tell you how worthy he is. Plus thinking that he would cost a number of salaries and cut into the team's depth for.... his level of play is just not a good move.
 
Let’s say Minnesota loses in the first round.
Would you trade Garland, Mobley, plus picks or others not named Jarrett or Donovan (assume he’s re-signing) for Anthony Edwards and KAT?
 
I love me some Edwards. Believe he'll be a top 3 player in the league for a long time. Would easily do that trade, and KAT can open the lane with his 3 point shooting. Huge win. MN hangs up the phone though.

I honestly can’t think of one player, given age/contract/etc, Minnesota WOULD trade Ant for…

MAYBE Wemby?

Honestly, I'd almost rather trade Donovan for Ant, as I think DG/Ant/Mobley/JA is a better fit than Don/Ant/JA. Several things wrong with that, though.
 
I have. trade idea everyone is going to hate.

Garland/Jones/Jerome for Vuc/Patrick Williams/Caruso and an unprotected first.

DM/CPJ
Caruso/Struss/Merrill
Williams/Caris/Okoro
Mobley/Wade
JA/Vuc

Improves quality depth, reduces ball stopping and an unprotected Chicago first could be a lotto pick. Feel free to block me now.

That's a wild one. Crazy depth though.

Right. This is assuming some unrest/friction in Minnesota. Maybe we have to take Gobert instead of getting Towns. Give them Garland, Mobley, Strus, LeVert, and a 1st.

TWOLVES:
Garland/Milton
LeVert/Alexander-Walker
Strus/free agent
Towns/McDaniels
Mobley/Reid

CAVS:
Edwards/CPJ
Mitchell/Okoro/free agent
Merrill/Okoro
Wade/Niang
JA/Gobert

If Embiid could stay healthy I would be looking at him this offseason. I think he will be available! Honestly if Mobley keeps shooting like he is though we definitely don't want to see him going anywhere!

Not sure about the Don and Gobert fit lol.

Will be interesting to see how much developmental room that ANT has left. He basically is a younger Mitchell with probably a little more ceiling. Mitchell probably has a little bit better intangibles.
 
Whenever I look around the league for a player that would go well with Garland and Mobley, I can’t get my mind off of Lauri. Unfortunately that ship has sailed…

I’ll start with this.

Cavs trade:
Mitchell
JA
Niang

Brooklyn trades:
Ben Simmons
Mikal Bridges
Day’ron Sharpe
…picks…

Cavs get a better fit with Bridges who is under contract for an extra year compared to Mitchell. Also Simmons will be an expiring contract next year.

Garland/Jerome
Strus/LeVert
Bridges/Merill
Okoro/Wade
Mobley/Simmons/TT/Sharpe
Oh my. That is possibly the worst trade idea I've ever seen on hereand thats saying something. I guess congrats is in order.

I’ve thought about the Vuc angle in the offseason. The main hesitation I’d have with him is he’s making $20M next year and he can’t play with Allen so it kind of limits his usefulness. I’m not against paying a 3rd big that kind of money, but it needs to be someone that can play with both Mobley and Allen.
