Both teams
no. Ross apparently costs 2 2nd-round picks only. If you can get Gordon for some type of Pau Gasol + Bryn Forbes + Raptors pick go ahead and do it, otherwise wait til the offseason. Definitely go after Ross though, those low 2nd-round picks won't make our roster anyway
Not sure about Snell’s defense but the Bucks are rumored to be shopping him around.
Anyone up for Wall trade? 160 million over next 4 years or something Just tore his Achilles.... Can't get better than that!
So tor is offering lowry and val for conley and gasol
Lowry wants out of Toronto... he's sucked of late. Conley big upgrade for Toronto. Lowry didn't deserve all star invite this year. Fell off quickly.
Val is injured, but apparently means a lot to the toronto defense. Not sure where he is financially. I think would be a good trade for Toronto...
People forget when Memphis made the WCF with great play from Conley and Gasol. Perhaps they are just bored in Memphis at this point, maybe a change of scenery will help their games.
Toronto should do this deal because even if Kawhi leaves they will still have a good team in the East.
Grizzlies have to be mad to make such a deal.
They can blow up the team a year earlier.
Why do people like you insist on seeing trades only from a talent perspective? It's painfully obvious that not only has Memphis peaked, they're seriously beginning to slide backwards, and need to rebuild. To do that, they need to dump huge long term contracts. This trade accomplishes that. This has been going on since Orlando in 1999, and people still don't understand.
They could probably quickly flip Lowry for picks, etc. So this trade would be a salary dump for Memphis, not a talent for talent trade. Conley and Gasol also will be in the East, so Memphis should take this deal. For Toronto this deal makes sense in case Kawhi leaves, they still have a good team.
Meh, it's not about the talent only, you're essentially saying they simply want to dump both but no team would do it for expirings so they'll have to take on Lowry's terrible deal and the possibility of Jonas opting in. With this deal they'll be just in line to gift Boston the No.1 pick in 2021.
Conley will likely vest 2020-2021 by playing 55 games this year for the first time since his contract kicked in, so, two years. Bad timing for Memphis, but he has way too little tread left on the tires to build around, even if this health 'scare' is a mirage.
Perfect timing to blow it up - when they'll owe their pick to Boston, unprotected (unless they're decent next year).
Seems like things are quiet around the league considering the trade deadline is in 2 days
Everything heats up about an hour before the deadline. Happens every year.
It’s a holding pattern as most teams are offering second round picks. It’ll be a flurry of activities once teams lose out on their primary trade targets. Spurs could have pick of the litter offering a first rounder now.
Memphis is stupid it they trade for Lowry. Super overrated player. Besides the obvious, why does Toronto want Gasol and Conley? To try to convince Kawhi to return after this season? Or preparing for life without him after this season?
Toronto should be trying to trade for Juice Simmons and Dedmon
I'm not sure that Conley or Gasol would be a great inducement for Kawhi to stay.

Get money off of the books sooner than Conley. They are in tank/rebuild mode. Conley > Lowry. Gasol prob upgrade over Val. Esp in the east.
Toronto wants to go all in this season because they know Kawhi is as good as gone but the deal doesn't make sense for Memphis since they probably want picks or young pieces in any deal.
Nope. Before you collect the young players and picks, your cap sheet has to be clean. NO ONE is trading them young players OR picks for a couple of 30-somethings that make a ton of money. When your cap sheet is clean, you rent your cap space out a year at a time for youngsters or picks. When you collect enough of both, your team will take off.
