NBA Trade Deadline 2023

[Twisted_Dawg]

These Laker fucks always seem to land on their feet, eh?

[Mr. Body]

They might make the playoffs this year.

[offset formation]

Honeslty the Wolves need to trade KAT. That dude ain't gonna do shit in this league.

Except for dropping 50 pieces on the Spurs and our excellent team defense

[barakz21]

These Laker fucks always seem to land on their feet, eh?

It’s all good, they went 10 years between titles (and the most recent one was an asterisk), and they missed the POs for 6 years straight, and possibly 2 more straight misses.

[poopbox]

Spurs missing out on the WB for a pick sweepstake sucks tbh…it really does. I only hope that it was because they have deals they value more lined up and not because they drew some stupid line in the sand out or principle and just missed out.

Of course they did. We held on to all this cap space primarily to get involved in that westbrook deal and it never happened:rollin

[Dverde]

Mavs win is good. Warriors need to add something.

[DPG21920]

MEM, CLIPS even LA still need to add players. TOR, BOS any team serious does.

[offset formation]

Lakers can still make the playoffs but DLo isn’t solving AD’s fragile issues or making LeBron 5 years younger.

This. Very surprised this is being viewed in a positive manner on this board and elsewhere. There are still major issues with the Lakers' roster and DLo is averaging the most minutes of his career yet only the 4th most points. For every big game he has a shit game. He's relatively easy to man up and no longer gets easy buckets at the rim as he did a few years ago. He's a traffic cone defensively. He's a net zero player as far as impacting a winning team.

Malik Beasely used to be a 6th man candidate. Now he is not even averaging 40% FG% on more than 12 shots a game. If Will Hardy was ready to part ways with him, it underscores my view that he's not a plus player.

Neither one of those guys in DLo and Beasely are worthy of a FRP even in light of moving Westbrook off your roster for the remaing 27 games or whatever considering he was completely off the books then. If they choose to keep Beasely beyond this year he carries a ~$16.5M tag which is ridiculously high given his 13ppg average, along with lower than expected rebound/asist numbers for a guy averaging 27mpg (3rd most in his career).

Point being, this is a bunch of blah even if it goes through.

Throw in the turmoil with AD clearly unhappy and you've still got a team with a ceiling of fighting for a play-in spot.

[Jordan Jackson]

With the Westbrook deal no longer an option. I’d look to the Warriors. I think they need to dump Wiseman’s contract. He’s not very good but if the Warriors had any draft capital to send out with him - wouldn’t be a bad option.

[baseline bum]

Looks like Acne to Phoenix per Shams

Wow. Durant traded to Suns.

Didn't even give up Ayton nor Paul.

[Robz4000]

That trade is gonna blow up in their faces tbh.

[offset formation]

Hey but we got Birch and a protected FRPin just in the knick of time to stay irrelevant before this news broke.

Maybe we should offer Westbrook a multi year contract after hes bought out by Utah now to get back in the news

[objective]

Marks does a win now move with Irving but now punts on KD.

Sad

[cd98]

Marks was in a bind. He did a good job until Irving and Hardin destroyed the team.

[cd98]

Well Suns deal might hurt in the long run, but they just moved into the favorites if Durant stays healthy. That’s a damn good team.

[timtonymanu]

With how weak the West looks, Phoenix has to be the favorite to make the finals now?

[BatManu20]

Rockets just lucked out. They own all of Brooklyn’s draft capital for the next 3-4 years.

[td4mvp2k]

suns taken to the barn :lol

That unprotected 2029 pick is going to be nice as hell when Doncic walks in '26 after Kyrie goes Kyrie again.

Seriously that 2019 team with DLo, Jarrett Allen, Dinwiddie, Lavert, etc.

Wasn't a title contender, but had a solid group of players. it turns out the KD/Kyrie/Harden saga didn't even finish much better either.

[baseline bum]

Well Suns deal might hurt in the long run, but they just moved into the favorites if Durant stays healthy. That’s a damn good team.

Well at least this time Durant only joined a 64 win team instead of a 73 win one.

Sounds about right tbh.

Indeed. Their draft should be set, or they have all the capital to go after the next big free agent. Or a combination of both. Not forgetting they already have so e solid players. I'm really high on Sengun and Eason.

[cd98]

Suns May give up enough for Nets to put together a playoff team that has a bunch of pretty good players.

Everyday that goes by I wish PATFO had pissed off the NBA world and made that SOB sit out that season without pay. He would have never rung.

He'd probably be on the Lakers though and on triple repeat LOBs by now though. Fuck that fool.

Mute didn't want to play with LeBron, that's why he played the Lakers hard and caused them to miss out on every free agent that summer before joining the Clippers. But yeah might as well just suspended that faggot for the season.

[cd98]

Bridges, Johnson, and Crowder with Dinwittie and Smith plus what they got could be an 8 seed. Probably not less than a 10 seed. And with upcoming draft capital and possible cap space, they won’t be bad for 4 years in a row.

[baseline bum]

Bridges, Cam Johnson, Dinwiddie, and Ben Simmons ain't a playoff team.

[R. DeMurre]

This flurry of activity does show how valuable draft picks far in the future can be, and how dramatically the league changes in half a decade plus. Six years ago, Hassan Whiteside led the NBA in rebounding, Isaiah Thomas was 2nd Team All NBA, Andre Roberson and Tony Allen made the All Defensive 2nd Team, and Joel Embiid, Brandon Ingram, and Jaylen Brown were rookies...

[Atl Spur]

Leverage & Flexibility. We saved 3 million this year and picked up three more picks ( we draft pretty well ). Let’s sit back and watch:)

The Nets are expected to explore trade scenarios for Jae Crowder ahead of today's 3 PM ET deadline, sources tell ESPN.

[cd98]

Bridges, Cam Johnson, Dinwiddie, and Ben Simmons ain't a playoff team.

Those are talented players. Who knows how they will be when their roles are enlarged. But they are 4-5 place in East and determined to make a playoff run with no incentive to tank and a lot of dysfunctional and subpar teams below them. I’d bet they are in top 10 in the East. No shot to win, but be in the 4 seed playin? I could see it. They’ve overachieved with no name players in the past.

Back to $25 million under the cap. We will pick up more assets tomorrow as we’re the only dumping ground around and more teams will be trying to maneuver under the tax than can get there. It may just be a bunch of second rounders, but we’ll see.

They just ate the Suns lunch. Good for Bkln and Marks because they are bent over a barrel with Houston for Harden. This gets them back to a place where those Houston picks might not hurt so badly.

If I were BKY, I would immediately call HOU and offer up Bridges for 2-3 of our picks back. HOU gets someone with actual game, who plays defense and fits their core but still gets a few extra picks

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Btw with more info on the LAL-Utah-Minny deal, it sure seems like Utah got the short end of it - they're trading 3 rotation players and 3 seconds for a top 4 protected first, which turns into 2nds immediately. I would have imagined them getting more value for their players on separate deals, but I guess that 2027 Lakers pick was that important for Ainge.

I like it for Minnesota. They need a steady hand and a locker room leader. They were going nowhere with DLo and it's not like they could have just let him expire and replaced with someone good in the summer. Conley will make them a better team.

If I was Houston I'd laugh and hang up. That 2024 pick is going to be gold when Brooklyn is already capped out for the 2023-24 season plus they'll need to throw a long term contract at Cameron Johnson this summer too. Ain't gonna win much when Mikal Bridges is the best player on your team and those Phoenix picks aren't going to be good for shit until CP0 and Durant break down in a couple of years. They're going to be battling our Spurs for lotto balls next year.

[CGD]

Holy cow, I wake up and KD has been traded! Wow. Oh and Jakob too.

[poopbox]

We have so many 2nd rounders now as to be utterly fucking useless.

They are actually quite useful. Offering multiple second rounders is how teams get back into the last 1st round to get a player they want.

Those 2nd rounders can get us back into the 1st to draft somebody the spurs like 26 through 30 in the future.

They are also what puts trades over the top. I am sure that Kyrie trade doesn't go down without those second rounders from Dallas.

Second rounders got the Lakers Rui as well.

And got a half season rental out of it. Lakers already owe 98M to four players (93M of which is to Bron and Brow) in '24 and 100M to two players in '25.

Yes putting trades over the top comes with context too. So basically they're already done after 27 more games unless the re-sign him for well above what Rui is making now (6.7M).

Same with Poeltl. We get a protected first and a couple second rounders to add to our multiple other 2nd rounders.

Ultimately 2nd round picks are only as valuable as what players are available when they are picked. And as I posted above there's roughly as equal chance of drafting a 3 yr player as one that never makes it to an NBA roster. Not great utility by any means.

This is a good point. I don't like 2nd rounders unless they're fairly high (below 35 or 40, depending on the year), they're almost always worthless and can be had for money. But, they can be used as lubricant for other deals. It's just that at some point you have to start SENDING THEM OUT, instead of TAKING THEM ALL IN. But if we use them to jump into the later first round in '23, something to that effect, then they'll be worth it.

we don't use 2nd round picks to draft players. We use them to flip them into late firsts by moving up. Spurs could move a 2nd with J-Rich and turn that into another first in this years draft

What does the context for the Lakers' or Dallas' trades have to do with the very real point Poopbox was trying to make, though? Both teams were clearly aware of the situation they were putting themselves in when they pulled those trades; it's unrelated to us what happens with them. The fact remains that those 2nd rounders got the trades done, when without them, other teams' comparable offers might've seemed better.

Second round picks are as far from "fucking useless" as bishops on a chess board - only bad to those who don't know how to utilize them.

[Mr. Body]

Early 2nds have pretty nice value. I wouldn't write them off. Sure, the hit percentage on them is not too high, but there are almost always nice players in that area, especially nowadays when players enter the draft so young and raw. A Trayce-Jackson Davis is absolutely worth an early SRP or that big dude for Arizona.

[Mr. Body]

I think this board is discounting early SRPs because this board has for some stupid reason totally turned on Tre Jones at this point. And who knows fucking why.

[Sugus]

we don't use 2nd round picks to draft players. We use them to flip them into late firsts by moving up. Spurs could move a 2nd with J-Rich and turn that into another first in this years draft

Exactly. We've done this move in the past and, combined with the Spurs' drafting and scouting prowess (which has ironically had better results in the late first round than the lottery in recent years, Sochan notwithstanding), it's a major advantage for the Spurs.

Easy to forget that Dejounte, White, Keldon were all #29 picks, and the Spurs got back significantly more draft capital from trading two of the three than they ever spent drafting them in the first place.

[LeBowen]

Yeah, every draft has at least a couple of second rounders who become solid NBA players.


But we're also in the territory where we got too many of those decent prospects, we need a couple of guys who can become really good.
All of these smaller trades are irrelevant in the bigger picture. One or two more picks in 25-30 range won't change a thing if we don't get lucky in the lottery.

Like noone will care if we have a couple more players on Tre's level if we land Wemby or Scoot. That becomes irrelevant. You need a star to build the team.

[exstatic]

Interesting note on that pick LA gave up:

It’s protected 1-4 for 2027. However, if it does not convey in 2027? Immediately converts to a 2nd. So it’s all or nothing in 2027 for the pick.

It keeps their 2029 pick in play.

Some Western conference team will trade for JRich tbh. We'll probably package that TOR '23 2nd rounder to move up in the late 1st again.

They owe their '24 and '26 picks to OKC (only top 4 protected) and a swap in between. They can't tank anymore.

Why would the Rockets want those players? Geez, what direction is Houston on?

It makes total sense for HOU lol. Bridges is a damn good young player, HOU already has 2 top 3 picks on their team, he fits what they need to leap hopefully and HOU would still have their own pick for Wemby or whatever this year too. It would be a great get for HOU using 2 BKY picks IMO and HOU can’t keep taking since they dont have their own picks either later

The Milwaukee Bucks are acquiring Jae Crowder in a trade with the Brooklyn Nets for five second-round picks, sources tell @TheAthletic (https://twitter.com/TheAthletic/) @Stadium (https://twitter.com/Stadium/).

It's interesting that second round picks are being used to get useful players like Crowder and Rui. That's good news for the Spurs and their mounting collection of second rounders.

[Mugen]

Yeah I think JRich can get at least a few 2nd rounders :lol

[rascal]

It makes total sense for HOU lol. Bridges is a damn good young player, HOU already has 2 top 3 picks on their team, he fits what they need to leap hopefully and HOU would still have their own pick for Wemby or whatever this year too. It would be a great get for HOU using 2 BKY picks IMO and HOU can’t keep taking since they dont have their own picks either later

Spurs should make a move for Bridges.

[Mr. Body]

Getting defensive wings isn't going to help Houston with the massive amount of other problems they have. I can see it if they jettison KPJ or even Green. Otherwise it seems like slapping duct tape over part of a shed that looks like swiss cheese.

Also, more to the point, as valued as Bridges and, to a lesser extent, Cam Johnson are right now, why are you competing with other bidders for them? They're the type of players to cement playoff runs right now, not... whatever you're trying to do with a cocked-up roster with other priorities.

Ohhhhhh weeee DPG fake trades been legit lately

Yes, Houston, try to win games. Please?

[Seventyniner]

The current bottom 4 teams are well ahead of (behind?) Orlando, so even if Houston decides to stop tanking it's unlikely they fall out of the bottom 4.

nice pick up for the bucks and i agree on the rockets-go for it H-Town!

Jovic is just another Duncan Robinson, a no defense oversized sniper.

[Dverde]

The only player the Spurs need to move is Richardson. Not sure why everyone wants to ship off Zollins. He’s a solid backup big.

[TD 21]

Might as well take a flier on Bitadze.

The Suns could obviously still use a 3 and D combo forward type, but outside of that, health willing and if they can keep Ayton engaged through the remainder of the season, they're probably at least co-favorites with the Nuggets in the West.

The Nets should immediately look to reroute Bridges while the Craptors continue to pretend Anunoby is a superstar.

No idea why Nets would pay a dollar of tax. Send the Spurs Joe Harris and one of the Suns picks and we absorb Harris and absolve you of all tax (save like 50M) and we send you the CHA 1st and 2 2nds.

Spurs are tanking fine without Forbes stealing development minutes from Branham or Wesley. Don't need to see teary eyed Pop rub Bryn's shoulders after garbage plays any more.

[Degoat]

I was gonna say this the other day… I think the spurs should do a lot to get Wiseman, warriors giving up way to early

*** but if a team like the pistons are offering Saddiq Bey idk what deal the spurs could be offering that beats that because I’m not trading any of our key youngins

[timvp]

https://twitter.com/JakeLFischer/status/1623752968154542080

Nice. The Spurs didn't want Wiseman for Poeltl but I'm sure Wiseman would be tempting in a salary dump. Unless they think he's an unsalvageable bust, it'd be easy to justify giving up a Raptors or Heat second rounder for him, tbh.

[LeBowen]

Imo, Wiseman literally doesn't know how to play basketball, but his deal expires next year and wouldn't burden the Spurs at all.

If we could get another one of their youngesters with Wiseman, I'd gamble, why not. It's not like Collins or McDermott are our future.

[offset formation]

What does the context for the Lakers' or Dallas' trades have to do with the very real point Poopbox was trying to make, though? Both teams were clearly aware of the situation they were putting themselves in when they pulled those trades; it's unrelated to us what happens with them. The fact remains that those 2nd rounders got the trades done, when without them, other teams' comparable offers might've seemed better.

Second round picks are as far from "fucking useless" as bishops on a chess board - only bad to those who don't know how to utilize them.

Denver just displayed how utterly fucking useless they are to them. Denver just traded **a player AND THREE 2ND ROUND PICKS** to the Lakers for Thomas fucking Bryant who is on an expiring contract, lol. Maeeeeybe the Lakers can move up several spots from the bottom of the 1st into the low 20s or high teens with ALL those 3 seconds. Obviously Denver is not expecting much out of them being they'll likely be at the bottom half of the draft for the next few years.

Example. Say Lakers get Pelicans swap and draft somewhere around the lottery this year. Those 3 2nd round picks have next to no value in substantial draft ascent at that point. They only matter around the edges. And the higher the starting point the less value they carry.

BTW, did you read any of the article I posted before posting this, "only bad to those who don't know how to utilize them?" The article basically gives context that 2nd round picks have historically been misused and dont generate the value reciprocity in r eturn. There's no GOAT in 2nd round picks. There's only slight movement in the first round. And ultimately someone has to use those 2nd round picks. And the overwhelming majority don't even make it 3 yrs in the league.

I repeat: 2nd round picks are OVER-FUCKING-RATED on this board.

[RC_Drunkford]

not sure why Detroit would give up 23-year old Bey for Wiseman when they got Duren. Makes no sense

[spurraider21]

twin towers baby

[scott]

Too much chatter on Twitter around having to GIVE UP something for Wiseman. If Detroit has interest in his as well, I'm afraid that prices him out of play.

The only Wiseman deal I'm interested in looks like this:

Spurs get: Wiseman + unprotected FRP
Warriors get: $110k

The Warriors really need to dump Wiseman and get nothing back, and we're the only team who can make that happen.

[Mr. Body]

Brooklyn or Golden State, who wants to save tons of money by using our cap space? Don't rush now!

[JPB]

Denver just displayed how utterly fucking useless they are to them. Denver just traded a player and 3 2nds to the Lakers for Thonas fucking Bryant who is on an expiring contract, lol. Lakers might be able to move up 10 spots from the bottom of the 1st into the low 20s or high teens with ALL those 3 seconds. Denver is not expecting much out of them being they'll likely be at the bottom half of the draft for the next few years.

Example. Say Lakers get Pelicans swap and draft somewhere around the lottery this year. Those 3 2nd round picks have next to no value in substantial draft ascent at that point. They only matter around the edges. And the higher the starting point the less value they carry.

The Hawks are sending five second-round picks to the Warriors to acquire Bey, source tells ESPN.

Folks shitting out second round picks.

[JPB]

Sell your bitcoins for SRPs guys, that's the future.

[timvp]

Surprised the Warriors didn't keep Bey. He seemed like a good fit.

[buttsR4rebounding]

GS getting 5 worthless 2nd rounders.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

It's weird someone goes on a rant about how useless 2nds are on the very day that 2nds buy you everything in the NBA - cap relief, young players, playoff run vets...

[timvp]

It's weird how people are using the same evidence to prove how valuable or unvaluable second round picks are these days.

"Wow, you can now use second round picks to acquire real, actual NBA players!"

"Second round picks are being thrown around like candy because nobody cares about them!"

:lol

[RC_Drunkford]

either the Spurs have some deals lined up or they are overplaying their hand

Yeah, tbh. I've never seen second round picks be as useful as they've been today.

Need to just dump Wiseman to save $130MM tbh

Folks shitting out second round picks.

First Prize-- One Second Round Pick

Second Prize -- Two Second Round picks

[JeffDuncan]

Second round picks are starting to look like a Ponzi scheme.

Source: The Warriors have been shopping Moses Moody and there is interest around the league but as of now the Warriors’ asking price has been too steep.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Can't we throw a couple of our useless 2nds for Moody?

[buttsR4rebounding]

Second round picks are starting to look like a Ponzi scheme.

Maybe Richardson for Joe Ponzi and 2 seconds...

[Ariel]

"My kingdom for a second round pick"

[Mugen]

Great trade deadline tbh :lol

[Ariel]

Can't we throw a couple of our useless 2nds for Moody?
That'd be throwing useless 2nd rounders for a useless player... I'd rather keep the picks.

[JPB]

If no one uses but simply trade SRPs, I guess the SRP bubble would explode a some point, so better make the best of their current market value.

[timvp]

Spurs want first round picks. Unfortunately, today is a second round pick free for all.

Ah well, I don't see a salary dump to be jealous of yet, tbh.

[spurs10]

Nice. The Spurs didn't want Wiseman for Poeltl but I'm sure Wiseman would be tempting in a salary dump. Unless they think he's an unsalvageable bust, it'd be easy to justify giving up a Raptors or Heat second rounder for him, tbh. What is the protection on the FRP we got for Murray?

[Thomas82]

not sure why Detroit would give up 23-year old Bey for Wiseman when they got Duren. Makes no sense

I was just about to say the same thing.

[buttsR4rebounding]

What is the protection on the FRP we got for Murray?

2 unprotected 1sts and an unprotected swap.

[JPB]

Second round picks are starting to look like a Ponzi scheme.

That's how Madoff got caught. He was trading SRPs he didn't have.

Beverley should just always keep a suitcase packed and live in hotels

[timvp]

Still 30+ minutes to go. The Spurs are basically waiting to see if anyone gets desperate at the buzzer.

Good plan, IMO. Might not work but they're not missing out on much by sitting and waiting.

[Seventyniner]

Shams show cast says TOR expects to be able to sign Poeltl to a long-term deal this summer. Probably why they were willing to offer more than most teams.
