NBA trade deadline discussion thread 2015

[Kang Deezy]

I like Stauskas in terms of potential..he might be a decent fit..but I dont think its worth it. Maybe Im scarred by the Jiri Welsch experiment..but I could see Danny biting. Maybe he'll throw them the Clippers first.



Thatd be a good look for Minny. Im sure Calderon being around would raise Rubio's morale and would be pretty good in terms of play style continuity as far as facilitating an offense is concerned. Knicks might be interested just so they can get some more scoring and put up points. I think Calderon was gotten by them in case they scraped their way into a 7/8 seed and to perhaps tutor Larkin a bit. I think both teams accept that trade to be honest with you.

First of all, don't ever diss jiri welsh

I would absolutely not give up that clipper 1st rounder

It'd be either the wolves first rounder (that's probably 2 2nd rounders) or try Dallas first rounder for next year if anything

The clippers pick has a chance at being a lottery pick with griffin out and the clippers having the toughest schedule in the league for the next month

what r y'all top 3 moves that must b made?

Jazz have to trade Kanter, it's Goberts time now.

Thunder need to pull the trigger on Lopez

Pacers absolutely positively need to get in on the Goran Dragic sweepstakes. If you're going to bring Paul George back, be in the playoffs before he's back, acquire the creator you've needed for the last 10 years.

what r y'all top 3 moves that must b made?

The clippers and Blazers should be battling over Wilson chandler

The celtics are lurking with all these assets and a chance at a playoff run, but they need a piece that will help them long term... Isiah Thomas is kind of interesting... I think they'd move jared Sullinger in the right deal (faried?)

The Knicks are going to try to move Calderon's contract

The heat need to figure out if they want to go into tank mode or try to add brook lopez, reggie Jackson, or goran dragic... Heat have no assets tho

Okc needs to move Reggie, Lopez would be a good fit for them

Nets want to move deron, brook, and joe Johnson... I'd like to see joe Johnson on the Pelicans or kings

Charlotte trying to get rid of lance, he's pushing for nets

The raptors have the pieces to make a move

Wizards need a backup pg

And the nuggets will trade anybody but nurkic... Possibly even faried or Lawson

Kanter is kind of interesting and would help a lot of teams but not sure the celtics are one of them although they are said to be monitoring him

I thought he'd be a better defensive player coming out of the draft

@Malta the frames do look similar to me other than the height to be honest with you. if you drag and re-sized spree's pic to get him to wiggins height itd be essentially identical. So they arent the same but they are pretty damn close in relation to their height. Similar shoulder width, long arms and not enough base weight in the lower body to really handle much more weight.

He's got poor defensive awareness right now, and his lateral quickness is pretty

He could be good, it's funny though that it doesn't really matter who they move between Favors or Kanter, Gobert is good enough defensively that he could cover for Kanter. If you had a big center to play him next to I think he'd be better off, Favors is a bit undersized for the 5 to be honest and while he blocks shots he can't cover for Kanter.

ISO Joe and Rudy Gay in the same offense? Idk about that

Itd be an intriguing move if they were thinking along the same lines and decided to deal Favors because he'd fetch more in return. Bold but potentially shrewd.

I don't really see it -

If anything he's built like a scaled down Chris Bosh with that long ass neck

They're sticking with Favors / Gobert for now, supposedly they really like someone in this draft and moving Kanter makes me believe it's Towns since he's projected to be a faceup big, which would fit in well with what they have now and could move Favors in the future.

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

jackson is a tough player to figure out a location because I can't picture teams with cap space wanting to spend 8-10 million on him...

So we're looking at

Thaddeus young, Kevin Martin, Nikoli pekkovic
Goran dragic or Isaiah Thomas
Jason Thompson, Ramon sessions
Brandon bass, marcus thornton, tayshaun prince (I'm not completely ruling out a sullinger trade)
Jose Calderon
Lance Stephenson
Brook Lopez, joe Johnson, deron Williams, Jarrett jack
Terrence Ross
Norris cole
Enes kanter
The entire Denver roster other than nurkic
Taj Gibson

As possible trade pieces, who am I missing?

Lawson could be traded? Thought he was a no no ?
