Yup... looking at what's out there, especially with Giannis staying in Milwaukee, this looks like the easiest of decisions to me..
Good thing we have Elder God C(S)hinnok on our side.![]()
What would a hypothetical trade be for Jaren Jackson Jr? Heard Grizzlies may tear it down and both Ja and JJJ are up for extensions
I'm sure the PHX brass is a little bit of " !" after the Desmond Bane trade, because they're not getting close to that and they have to deal with their fans.
If Memphis tears it down, send Santi Aldama our way
Remember that altercation Aldama and Bane had this season?
Maybe this was about Grizzlies making the choice between the two.
I expect him to stay now that they got rid of Bane's contract.
Just saw an article today en led “5 best trades for Jaylen Brown” and it said the Spurs could offer #2, Castle, Vassell, and two future first rounders![]()
If Bane is worth that, so is Devin, and he would be included. Flip the script on them.
Didn't Memphis take more salary back than they sent out? That has to impact Aldanlma and JJJ extention unless they have another move in mind.
That's not too crazy. You could emulate what Houston did with Brooklyn's picks when they traded them for 2x Phoenix picks, here Spurs could trade Atlanta's picks to Sacramento for, say, twice as much of their own picks. Then Sacramento could include them along with other stuff, in a trade for Trae that gives Atlanta control of their own firsts, which could be a safety cushion in case their retool hits a bump in the road.
Devin + 5 FRPs/swaps?
, after that obscene Bane deal the price is probably 10 FRP unprotected.
That's like 10 FRP in value lol no team would pay that.
What would it take to get Jaren Jackson Jr.?
JJJ probably won’t be traded because of his contract. A team that trade for him won’t be able to renegotiate and extend him without cap space and will have to let him get to unrestricted free agency, which is a risk. Memphis did a lot of moves around the deadline to clear up cap space for his contract so I’d expect them to max him out and if they’re trading him it’ll be down the line, not right now.
Boston would do that deal in a nano second. Than send the Spurs a thank you card for their next championship.
Do you really want him on the team? I assume you rate him pretty highly? I actually don't think he's worth what it would cost to trade for him personally. I could be wrong, but I don't think he can carry a team anywhere. Very good individual player. I could be wrong. Let's see what Memphis can do led by him if they trade Ja (do you guys think Ja is getting traded?).
That's one of the worst trades I've ever heard in regard to the Spurs' side of things. Freaking terrible trade for the Spurs. I'd probably be the closest I'd ever come to not being a fan anymore if that scenario went through. The D-White trade was bad enough.
I wanted Jaylen Brown back when Kawhi was on the block to get traded, but ever since then, he's just had too many miles on the body and his age is also getting up there to be trading away a bunch of young prospects when his body is breaking down a bit now (sort of like Kawhi). Then you have his salary on top of that.
they not trading him and it doesn't make sense to trade for him. To match his salary is easy, but the salary for the extension is too low. JJJ wants the max or something close to it. That's why the Grizzlies will renegotiate his contract and then extend him, like Utah did with Lauri. That's not possible for teams that would trade for him, in which case this would be a huge risk, because he'd hit free agency next year.
JJJ is a much better candidate to trade for around the deadline. He'll either be under his new deal or will be discounted as a rental.
Does JJJ on a reneg-and-extend have the same weird Aug 2 timing that gives him a very small window to get the deal done or be untradeable this year (like Lauri last year)?
think ive said before that JJJ is the picture perfect PF to pair with wemby (though his rebounding inexcplicably leaves some to be desired)
but i dont see him being discounted at all and he's going to be exorbitantly expensive to acquire
Not only rebounding.
His career playoff averages over 27 games are 16/6/1 on 39/33/81.
He's a good player and a positive contributor, but nowhere near worth max money.
John Collins performance in Hawks ECF run was more impactful than anything JJJ has done in the playoffs.
