Any on the edges trade we can look into?
Cam Johnson is a good role player, nothing more. Spurs shouldn't give up quality assets to get him like first round picks or Vassell. Keldon and second round picks should be Spurs best offer. If Nets don't like it, they can keep him.
Nets had a really high asking price for DFS and Royce O'Neale and, at the end, they got second round picks for them.
My best offer would be something like Devin, worse of '25 ATL/SAS, SRPs for Cam and Sharpe.
No way I would do that.
Vassell was really good last year. He is having a bad season but the Fox trade should help him by giving him more open catch and shoot opportunities. I wouldn't even trade him straight up for Cam Johnson.
Sharpe is meh. He might not even be better than Bassey.
I see Devin as a negative contract at his point, not a single advanced metric is going in his favor.
I'm not even talking about offense, he's just atrocious on defense and doesn't fit the starting lineup.
I don't rate Cam highly, but he's way better than Devin.
^ I wanna see Dev as the third banana, which is the role we all thought suited him best. He’s definitely on the clock though, especially with two draft picks coming in hungry to take his spot.
Cam Johnson is not exactly a good defender
Devin is one of the worst defenders in the league in his position and doesn't fit the starting lineup anymore.
Instead of having a size advantage with Castle at SG, we give it all back by playing Devin.
If it was up to me, I'd start Champ, but it won't happen.
Fox/Castle/Champ/Barnes/Wemby should be our best lineup on paper if we're talking size and fit.
CP3 is good, but Fox is obviously a way better player now, we don't really need CP3 if he's not the main ballhandler.
I agree with this. However it will be interesting to revisit that notion once this team has Fox. Devin’s never played with legit penetrator with speed.
Cam?!?!
Cam Johnson?
Cam Thomas?
Cam Payne?
Toumani Camara?
An extra camera to chart how many times Wermby's teammates miss him rolling to the hoop?
who tf is this guy? another Eric Zhang?
I'd offer Sochan and whoever the Nets prefer between Barnes/KJ for Cam Johnson.
Sochan/Fox/Castle don't fit. One of them has to go and it ain't Fox or Castle.
Johnson would be the perfect fit next to Wemby and Fox. He's a career 39% three point shooter. He'd feast on open looks as the third option behind Fox and Wemby. Floor spacing PF.
Cam Johnson is a Great Value Lauri who should cost less.
Lauri stats over the past three years: 23/7 with 47/38/88 shooting splits
Cams stats over the past three years: 16/4 with 44/39/84 shooting splits
Are you worried at all about Vassell? He’s regressed this season to me. Theres been moments where hes doing the “other” things besides scoring (passing, defense etc.) that are encouraging but overall, it’s been a rough season. Maybe hes just not in rhythm after starting season injured but its been disappointing so far after a very solid season last season
Are you sure it's regression and not just him being easy to replace now that the team is doing better?
I always go back to those final couple of weeks of last season when Devin, Keldon and Jeremy got shut down.
We played .500 ball with Wesley, Branham and Mamu in their place.
This season Champ averages 13ppg on 37% from 3pt as a starter.
Yeah, he can't dribble, but it's not like anything good comes from Devin's dribbling.
And Champ is a way better defender, even though he's barely average.
I wouldn't trade any player right now (unless it's CP3 per a pre-arranged agreement when he signed). There are going to be growing pains when Fox arrives, it's not a given that they're going to start playing elite basketball. This is an opportunity to see how other players mesh with the Wemby-Fox core and evaluate for next year and beyond.
Johnson is going on 29, injury prone and would be yet another string bean on quite possibly the weakest/least physically imposing roster in the league.
Nice player, but not interested in paying the exorbitant cost to exacerbate them getting emasculated by physical team like the Rockets and Grizzlies, among others.
Brian Wright, make it happen
I'd do Vassell for Cam Johnson in a second. The stats scott posted about Vassell dragging every other member of the Spurs rotation down in every two man lineup was pretty damning. Spurs would be better off not only starting Castle in Vassell's spot, but even Champagnie there. I want Vassell gone while he has positive trade value.
Get them all. Rename the team to OnlyCams with the obvious sponsorship tie-in.
Another big we could go after is the Suns Mason Plumlee. You know Pop thought he was better than Bam Adebayo, so I assume he is at the top of his wishlist
He's on a 3.3 million expiring and you know the Suns would do anything for some picks, even 2nd rounders.
No idea how they would think the Wizards are the favorite for Durant unless they think he's going to do a "coming home" tour for the last few years of his career. Not gonna happen. Def see the Warriors overpaying to get him back though if Suns truly are selling.
Wtf?why??
