Trade Deadline Watch

[spursistan]

I would take Bogut off waiver, tbh..

[sasaint]

Pacers in panic mode over PG have completely lost the plot

With Noel going to Dallas, did the price for Okafor go up? Seems like Philly has less incentive to move him now.

[DPG21920]

PHI is actively trying to move Bogut before the deadline is over. So the deal with the Mavs will likely be just Anderson this year for Noel (since Dallas isn't conveying their pick this year with those protections).

Interested to see the protections next year for the pick. Bogut to BOS picking up steam on the buyout market (Bogut will be bought out if he cannot be traded).

That's exactly what I want. I was also thinking about the Jordan brand connection yesterday when I made Butler my number 1 choice.

I hope the Spurs are at least asking the Bulls about him. Even if the Bulls say "no", I hope they are asking about him. I'd pretty much give up anyone not named Kawhi or LaMarcus. Might even consider giving up LaMarcus if they wanted him if we could also get back Gibson or someone.

Great get for Dallas.

The Dallas 1st won't convey this year. Curious what the rest of the protection stipulations around then pick will be, e.g., does it turn to a second?

Based on what Philly might actually end up getting, I don't think a Kyle + Simmons + unprotected 1st this year, would have been that far off, dang.

Man they need to get rid of Divisions. SW division, even in a down year, was already the best in NBA, but now? Wow.

Why would the Bulls want anything from us outside those two? No way it could happen.

They might want Dedmon or Murray. You never know how highly someone thinks of another player. Looks at the Kings owner having a hardon for Buddy Hield.

Difference was that the kings seemed determined to get Cousins out of there due to being a major head case.

I like butler but he is duplicative of Kawahi. Need a creator instead. Neither Butler or George are that.

[spursistan]

Can we just get this deal done? This Boston time to take a crack at CLE..

And why would that be a bad thing? You don't think they can mesh well on the court. I'm pretty sure Jimmy can play some PG (if needed) too.

[kaji157]

Patty Mills was our only potential trade bait and he has been playing like .

Sucks that we are condemned to have Tony for a few more years. We need to add a very versatile guard next season.

Not gonna happen. Spurs could have drafted Jimmy but instead drafted CoJo. They gonna stand pat and look for waived scrubs with character with minors in astronomy.

Funny you should mention Astronomy.

[spursistan]

That the Celtics didn't make run at Noel or any other big just yet tells me they are all in on a Butler/PG deal..

Spurs get: Jimmy Butler and Isaiah Canaan

Bulls get: Danny Green, Dejounte Murray, Patty Mills, Kyle Anderson, 2 future first round picks

Who says no?

Bulls. Easily.

I really do not want to see Butler in Boston coached by Brad Stevens. That would make the Celts a serious contender for a long time.

Hopefully, they're going for Paul George instead.

Having LMA and Leonard already slows the offense considerably. Each needs either ISO touches or others to set them up. Butler is another player like that, and I think he would be relegated to a glorified Danny Green in the current system.

That said, if the Spurs were willing to play Leonard at the 4 full time, then that's a different story.

Or make him a sixth man.

I think it would work. You could have a go-to guy on the court at all times. Then also some of the time, you can go with Kawhi at PF and LA at C.

I'm a bit nevous that Butler's name isn't being mentioned. I don't want him going to someone else that is close to being a contender (unless it's the Spurs as he could put a few teams over the top to legit contender status.
