NBA Trade Deadline 2019

[diceman]

Lol rockets reloading with shumpert, stauskas, and wade Baldwin

Man they really in blew it last year

Wonder if those guys will be part of a bigger trade??

[Kobe'sAchilles]

I'm with you on this, tbh. So many people here are conditioned to think "X player is overpaid or super overpaid so that's a non-starter for us" yet we have Patty "50 Mills" on the roster. Enough with this cold feet at ude. Risk taking is necessary in this "Superteam" era of basketball where players dictate more than GMs.

There's risk and then there's stupidity and Porter is stupidity. Name 1 thing that he does elite? 3 point shot? Nope. Midrange game? nope. Getting to the free throw line? Nope. Defense? Nope. Rebounding? nope. The nicca is not even average in those categories. He's BELOW average on every single one of those things I mentioned. And you want us to pay him $26 million bc we need to take risks

If I have to pay a scrub 3 million a year to be worthless and get torched on D or pay a scrub 26 million a year to be worthless and get torched on D then I'm choosing Forbes tbh. Prince is the one I guess to take a risk on since he's young and cheap, but I don't know his asking price is. I sure wouldn't trade Lonnie, Murray, White, or Bertans to get him.

[RC_Drunkford]

Shumpert, Porter, Burks and Johnson already moved. I guess Spurs ain't trading for a defensive wing. Only ones left are Bazemore and Prince

this man speaks the truth. Porter is an ok player but he doesn't move the needle and makes way too much money.

Ariza, no?

If Washington can move Porter, the Spurs PATFO have no excuses for not being able to trade Gasol no matter how bad of a GM RC is.

Porter has shown to be an above average 3 point shooter & most years he's been above average defensively, although it's understandable he'd lose motivation playing for the Wizards. He's obviously overpaid, but his contract would've married up in length with DDR & LMA. ROCO would be a better fit, as he's a good shooter & elite defender on a better contract. I'd probably trade two 1sts & Pau for Roco & Tolliver.

See, THAT is the mentality that gets me. We seriously overrate our own players. I understand the need to keep Murray but Lonnie, White, or Bertans aren't these untouchable Gods. We need to stop doing that about our players.

are you seriously comparing the utility of Porter vs old man Gasol in today's NBA?

but he's right. trading our good players on solid deals for overpaid scrubs who may not even be an upgrade is ing stupid, and exactly how you end up as treadmill team fighting for the 7th seed every season

[TD 21]

Porter makes sense for the Bulls, the same way he would have for the Kings. Neither had a legit SF and neither will be able to attract anything approacing a star in free agency anytime soon. Might as well add him if all it costs is a player they were desperate to rid themselves of, another who wasn't a great fit and was due to get paid and some far off 2nd.

Poor trade for the Wizards. Sure, it helps their bottom line significantly and he was always going to be half salary dump, but their roster now makes no sense. They should look to sell off Morris and Green. Ariza too, but given that they've lost Porter and Oubre recently, they probably feel like they need to retain him.

Lol, White is better than Murray.

Porter would destroy the capability of this team to make any substantive changes at all. I almost wanted us to pick him up just to see you clowns about how much he costs a year from now.

If we're lucky, we'll be a 7th seed for back to back seasons with the scrubs we have now.

White isn't better than Murray. TF you talking about? Murray is an all-defense player. White isn't in that discussion. He just looks like Bowen now compared to Forbes' traffic cone defense.

[Pavlov]

Right? Gasol is the Jabari Parker of this trade owed another $6 million next season.

[marinoman]

Rockets got better, Portland got better...spurs same

[DPG21920]

Houston cares nothing for first round picks. It’s incredible. They have no real youth and keep blowing picks every year it seems like on trades.

I get it, they are in cap and getting rid of Knights 15M next year saves them from taxes, but damn.

[Mr. Body]

White isn't better than Murray. TF you talking about? Murray is an all-defense player. White isn't in that discussion. He just looks like Bowen now compared to Forbes' traffic cone defense.

White is by far a better all-around player.

[Dverde]

Spurs will get better when we draft two players that twenty other teams did not want. Vengeance is coming.

[tbdog]

Wanted Harris in favor of DeRozan back in the off-season. The Spurs rely heavily on three-point shooting to win games. Harris was adequate in that regard. DeRozan’s play-making has been fantastic but I don’t know how he and Murray fit together moving forward; one of them has to learn to shoot threes and there isn’t any tangible proof Murray is skilled enough to shoot from distance.

DD is better than Harris and has been for his career. You are comparing an injured DD playing one of his worst seasons compared to a healthy Harris playing his best season. One of them is on an expiring contract. DD would be much better of the next two seasons as he plays for his last contract.

[DPG21920]

Right? Gasol is the Jabari Parker of this trade owed another $6 million next season.

Yup. Parker’s deal is more favorable due to the full team option. Not to mention, Portis is still solid prospect/player and will have a big role. He’s shown enough to be worth a good hard look.

So to make up for the 6.7M for Pau above Parker, Sa would have either had to give up a prospect better than Portis (which would suck) or more picks (which would suck)

[sasaint]

He's not a bad GM; he's a loyal GM. Besides he's only Pop's pawn.

[Hoops Czar]

I'm comparing his contract which is right up there with DDR as quite possibly the worst in the game.

[SpurPadre]

Rockets got better, Portland got better...spurs same

But those players they have are overpaid and our players are cheap...and try hard! And Bertans, White and Lonnie will be perennial All-Stars that are better than everyone else!

[Maddog]

Rockets got better, Portland got better...spurs same

Rockets always get better at the trade deadline. It's one of the reasons why they keep winning les
