NBA Trade Deadline 2018

[SpurPadre]

I wouldn't have thought Doc Rivers would want to trade Avery Bradley? Wasn't Doc in Boston when he Bradley was first drafted? I don't remember. If so, I thought Doc would have made the trade with Detroit to keep him.

If a trade is discussed and they do take Mills or DG or someone like that, I wonder if it's a ploy to recruit Kawhi.

So Kawhi would be lured to the Clips because of 50 Mills?! :lol

Doc has no more control of FO decisions. They have Beverly and Lou already so Bradley is odd man out and is going to get a raise. They can get a first round pick for him maybe so instead of paying Bradley they pay Mills but also get a first. Then maybe flip Lou or Bev and get another first round pick. Just stock piling first rounders for rebuilds.

[Ice009]

No, not Mills specifically, could be Danny Green they're intersested in or Kyle Anderson. It's just someone familiar that can talk to Kawhi about what the organization is like.

:lol Everybody knows what the organization is like; it sucks.

You know what I mean, just to answer questions Kawhi might have. Having someone familiar there could help with that.

I don't see Kawhi going to the Clip-jobs.

Involve Cleveland getting Danny & Patty while giving. Spurs get Bradley & Crowder + Cleveland’s Second rounder. LA gets Cleveland’s 1st rounder ( not Brooklyn pick ) + Thomas

I wouldn't mind this type of scenario at all. I wouldn't mind Danny back, but I don't want to overpay like Mills, so if he's going to cost much more, maybe trading him is an option too.

[SpurPadre]

Weren't we rumored to be trying to get a wing from the Pistons?

[DPG21920]

Involve Cleveland getting Danny & Patty while giving. Spurs get Bradley & Crowder + Cleveland’s Second rounder. LA gets Cleveland’s 1st rounder ( not Brooklyn pick ) + Thomas

Ya - a third team, due to LAC’s tax situation, is something that needs to be considered if Mills is to be involved.

[Ice009]

When is the trade deadline? Tomorrow night sometime?

[ace3g]

3 p.m. EST tomorrow

[SAGirl]

Bradley makes just over 8M. He can’t be “combined” with another player in a deal so if you are assuming it’s straight up it’s Danny, Rudy or Mills. However when examined further, LAC is less than 1M from Luxury Tax so Mills for Bradley or Danny for Bradley would put them over. That leaves Gay.

But, the “combined with another player” rule can be circumvented by doing two concurrent deals so I don’t think that is an issue (or you can involve a third team to take Mills).

So maybe something like Mills + 1st RD Pick for Bradley in one trade.

Then Wes Johnson for Kyle Anderson in another trade.

Who knows though. The easiest path would be Rudy for Bradley but that doesn’t make any sense.
Thanks for your honest reply.

I suppose they are doing their due diligence. In my mind I just don’t see them making a move, much as I wish they were going to. It’s interesting.

I wonder if the Cavs would be cool with a Mills and Green for Thomas and Shumpert trade.

Cavs improve their defense with Danny, who would probably start over Crowder. Mills is another shooter to put around Lebron.

Spurs dump Mills' contract without giving up a pick. And maybe the Monsters give Thomas his powers back.

Shumpert has an 11M player option next year and he's without a doubt going to exercise it.

[DAF86]

Shumpert has an 11M player option next year and he's without a doubt going to exercise it.

I prefer that to having to pay Mills 10+ per year for the next 4 years. Shumpert's contract becomes a desirable expiring next season, tbh.

Aren't you kind of a Cavs fan? Do you think they would go for it?

[objective]

Woj reporting that Indiana is dangling caproom and Jefferson's $4 million guarantee for next year

I'd do Mills and a first easy. But it's probably not enough.

That's what happens when you sign a shit deal at 12:01.

Mozgov, Noah, and Mills

Not even kind of a Cave fan. I got stuck with this label and there's no mods around to change it. I don't think they' d be quick to discard Thomas. Paddy isn't a pg and unless they picked up Walker, I can't see any reason they'd want to take a step backwards even though Green is an upgrade over Shumpert. Thomas might also be needed to complete a Walker deal though I don't know.

Also, the Spurs wouldn't do it because of the loyalty to Mills. That would also leave them with only that sorry sack of shit Forbes as the back up shooting guard. If people haven't begun to realize just how bad he is, they will soon enough.

[r0drig0lac]

There was no market to read. 12:01 didn't allow for one.

Looks like the Lakers have just ensured themselves about $60 million in capspace this summer. They must really regret that $18 million they'll owe Deng next season.

[spursistan]

Not only Thomas might be a damaged goods right now, but he does seem to be a Grade 1 piece of shit..I think that also went into why the Cavs dumped him this soon..

Also, Ainge robbed Cleveland blind in that trade..:lol..

[cd98]

Looks like the Lakers have just ensured themselves about $60 million in capspace this summer. They must really regret that $18 million they'll owe Deng next season.

Yes, but he'll be an expiring contract, which will have trade value for luxury paying teams.

[BatManu20]

IT getting passed around like a whore at summer camp

[cjw]

Paying a pick too :lmao

I have no idea why Cavs do it except for loving Nance’s upside. And Clarkson is better defensively than Thomas.

Gave the Lakers two expirings and got them off Clarkson’s long term money AND gave them a pick.

[cd98]

961649776470224901

LeBron the GM.

[Fireball]

what is Cleveland doing?

[BatManu20]

what is Cleveland doing?

Anything. They're desperate.

[HarlemHeat37]

It's evident that they just wanted to dump Thomas, it's clear that him and LeBron absolutely hate each other..Thomas has been one of the worst players in the league, his ego isn't worth his production..

In the grand scheme, Ainge certainly destroyed them in that trade..

I like the Larry Nance addition, though..that team desperately needs energy players with defined roles..

[DAF86]

961648533509111809

961648670360985605

Untill I saw the pick I was wondering why the fuck would the Lakers do this? When I saw the pick I wonder why the fuck did the Cavs do it? In any case, the trade doesn't make much sense for any team.

Panic.

Yes, but also depends on what they get for the pick.

[Budkin]

Cavs get another Larry Nance! :lol

[Budkin]

LeBron still on track to come to the Spurs...

[HarlemHeat37]

Yes, but also depends on what they get for the pick.

It sounds like Jordan is the best they could do with the Nets pick..even if they pull that off, I'd still say Boston comfortably won that trade(especially if they knew that Thomas would never recover from his injury)..

[sasaint]

Panic.

Ever since they gave Kyrie to Boston.

Doubt it. Just solidifying the wing.

Cavs not insisting on getting Jaylen Brown or (to lesser extent) Tatum instead of Crowder in that package is mind boggling especially they knew IT was going to be OUT for a while and potentially career-altered by that injury....

[HarlemHeat37]

Ya I just read that..

LeBron trades away a player he hates and helps the Lakers potentially open cap space in case he decides to go there:lol

[TimDunkem]

I did not know that. Because of rules that prohibit trading too many first-round picks?

Something like that. It's out of play until draft day either way.

[jyra]

Doubt it. Just solidifying the wing.

They already have 4 wings guys in Kennard, Galloway, Bullock and S. Johnson. Giving up a 2nd rounder for a 4th/5th wing doesn't make much sense.

[lmbebo]

IT getting passed around like a whore at summer camp

where's that brinks truck at ...

[TimDunkem]

I get that, but SVG is high on Johnson. Moving Bradley was partially to get minutes for Johnson. They'd rather move someone like Galloway.

[jyra]

I'm sure they would love to get rid of Galloway but nobody is taking on that contract.

Yep. Feathering the nest. Slick move.

We see suckers take contracts every year, but I agree that he probably isn't moved.

[Dex]

Cavs front office making PATFO look like fucking geniuses with that awful deal.

Essentially gave up Kyrie, Frye, and a 1st for a 15-game rental of the corpse of IT and two busts in Clarkson and Nance.

[sasaint]

Looks like the Lakers have just ensured themselves about $60 million in capspace this summer. They must really regret that $18 million they'll owe Deng next season.

Lakers should package a first with Deng. Some sucker GM will give them an expiring in return.

[Chomag]

Lakers get a high level point Guard for some trash. Spurs trying to just get trash lol

[Keepin' it real]

All I know is the Spurs better act fast. I expect them to make moves that will make them the favorite to win it all this year, regardless of Kawhi's health.

I DEMAND EXCELLENCE!

Not even sure it's the injury, I think Thomas just looked great playing in Brad Stevens' system. That same system made Avery Bradley look like a quality player. Stevens is the new Pop or new Sloan.

Shorter, smaller deal than Hill who wanted out anyways and was on a high contract?

Pretty decent recovery from the Kyrie debacle.

[Hoops Czar]

Lebron's definitely gone. :lol

[DAF86]

Hood is averaging 17 ppg on 39% 3pt shooting. If it´s true they only needed to give up Shumpert it's a great, great get by the Cavs.

True. Spurs could always have gotten things done. They don’t want to move their players.

I don’t know if you saw the interviews from Tony and Manu, but Manus specially was very revealing. He said unless one of the guys ask for a trade they stand pat. They are a very tight knit group and the chemistry for them is super important

[NASpurs]

Lebron may be a good GM after all.

Hopefully he can make these shrewd, cold, calculating moves when he becomes GM/player next year on the Spurs.

I have to take issue with that. They don't seem tight knit at all to me, especially with the Kawhi issue hanging over their heads. They don't play with a crispness that reflects being tight knit.

[bklynspursfan]

One thing's for sure, Woj is still showing he comes through in the clutch. Shams has been underwhelming

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Other teams trade their shit players for George hill and Rodney Hood and RC and Pop can't work any one over for our scrubs?

Spurs don't care what his value is. They're standing pat.

[HarlemHeat37]

Love Cleveland's aggression, tbh..Hood and Hill are as streaky as they come and Clarkson is a ball-hog who doesn't play defense, but at least they added hungry players who won't be lazy and feel entitled(unlike Thomas, Rose and Crowder)..

Hill/Clarkson
Smith/Hood
LeBron/Korver
Love/Green
Thompson/Nance

That's a pretty versatile lineup..it lacks star power, but still far better than what they had prior to today..

[TimDunkem]

Other teams trade their shit players for George hill and Rodney Hood and RC and Pop can't work any one over for our scrubs?https://i.imgur.com/1m07Vqb.png

Most likely they are standing pat. Spurs won't make a move unless it makes them better. They won't make a trade just for making a trade's sake.

Looks like the Lakers have just ensured themselves about $60 million in capspace this summer. They must really regret that $18 million they'll owe Deng next season.
heard on the radio they're considering stretching him. still would be a lot of dead cap over the years

Kawhi can not be happy about this, he needs to take over the rein's at gm like LeBron has, tbh

[HarlemHeat37]

Wade to Miami is a good move, too, as a Waiters replacement..they desperately need a shot-creator in clutch time, rather than relying on James Johnson:lol

Hopefully he can make these shrewd, cold, calculating moves when he becomes GM/player next year on the Spurs.

It would be nice. But Pop ain't leaving, and LeBron ain't coming here - especially with his revamped team in the Land.

One thing's for sure, Woj is still showing he comes through in the clutch. Shams has been underwhelming

This my biggest issue with PATFO in recent years, especially after the decline or retirement of all members of Big 3..To me, they are just not proactive enough to pull moves like these for plug-and-play rotation guys or 3rd tier borderline "stars". We are not going anywhere with this Irving/CP3 or bust modus operandi....

Derrick Rose's Adidas deal is one of the greatest pro athlete endorsement contracts of all-time:lol have to wonder why any team would even bother signing him at this point, though..

WHY!!!???

[SAGirl]

I have to take issue with that. They don't seem tight knit at all to me, especially with the Kawhi issue hanging over their heads. They don't play with a crispness that reflects being tight knit.
I am just going by what Manu said.

I think they do miss Kawhi and Rudy and the undersized lineups make them vulnerable to both athleticism and bigger sized teams like the 76ers. Pop is playing younger lineups too, who need repetition and experience... plus chemistry of their own, confidence and without Kiwi they are less talented as a team. Having less talent on the floor means they can’t afford as many mistakes.

I still don't understand why Utah gave Hood up. They only got Rose and Crowder? Or did they also get a draft pick?

Cleveland showing it’s a real contender, unlike the Spurs. They knew their roster was trash, and did a complete overhaul. Meanwhile, the trash Spurs roster stays put.

Massive bust of a pick, granted he's only 22 and was taken with the 20th pick. But he's shown zero ability to be an NBA player. He's a waste of time.

I'm not envious of their moves, but I absolutely applaud them..their roster was toxic on and off the court, why would they keep it intact?

Going all-in while LeBron is still there is a no-brainer IMO..they've been one of the worst franchises in the league when he isn't around and that will likely continue when he leaves again, might as well cash in on some success while he's still wearing a Cavs jersey..

We didn't have a Jae Crowder to trade. Trading Danny for him straight up would be a lateral move at best. And Hood is going to want bigger money this summer anyways, which the Spurs certainly weren't going to give to him.

Cavs overhauled their roster with younger, athletic pieces and kept the nets picks... AND did it in the middle of the season without touching LBJ or Love.

Only thing that would have made the moves better was getting rid of TT or JR too but that would have likely required the nets pick.

Kudos to the Cavs.

[HarlemHeat37]

Cleveland giving themselves multiple JR Smith replacements is huge, too..he's been beyond terrible, now they have 3 new players that could effectively play the 2 ahead of him, if necessary..
