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?!

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.

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.

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?

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 cir vented 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.

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 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 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.

[NASpurs]

6 hrs left until the deadline

[NASpurs]

Jordan to the Raptors? Hmm

[NASpurs]

5 minutes later... (Lakers and Cavs have traded *insert names* )

[NASpurs]

Who wants Willie Reed? I remember people here wanting him.
