The Official NBA 2018-2019 Trade Deadline Thread

[duckbutta]

shyt if Pop wants you that means it must be something there.

I actually think what they did with Kawhi Leonard at the wing position hurts them in trades...

Cause once upon a time, if you were 6 "7" with big ass hands and could play defense and not shoot for shyt...that was fine...you just had to learn to make catch and shoot 3's and you could be a 3 and D guy...

Kawhi changed the game because he went from being a 3 & D guy to a superstar and now every team with a big defensive wing thinks they could do the same...

And if you another team you don't want the Spurs putting you on that summer jam screen...you don't want to be the team who gives up a young wing prospect and 2 years later he showing out for San Antoinio in the WCF and your fan base looking at you like

Like...if I was a GM and pop called and wanted to trade for some 2nd or 3rd year wing I got I would tell him hell fukking no and then I would instantly sign that guy to a 4 / 50 million dollar contract...

You just can't give the spurs a young player taller than 6"5"...they turn these type of players into machines...

Like...Dejounte Murray went from literally not even trying to play defense in college to being the youngest all defensive team player EVER...in basically a year and a half...

Lakers Willing To Part With Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma, Or Lonzo Ball For Superstar
JAN 25, 2019 6:53 PM

The Los Angeles Lakers are looking to add either a 3-point shooter or a superstar as the trade deadline approaches.

The Lakers would prefer to add a second superstar through free agency but are willing to part with some combination of Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma, and Lonzo Ball in order to obtain a franchise player.

The Lakers are also looking for 3-point shooters on expiring contracts, including Terrence Ross, Wayne Ellington, Garrett Temple, and Trevor Ariza.

Im almost positive that the Lakers may need to see what they can get for Brandon Ingram and KCPs expiring bring in a true SG. I understand they want to land s big free agent but if for example the Lakers could acquire someone like Beal or Butler do they try it? If they are able to acquire one of them couldn't they still make a move or sign a 3rd borderline guy in the offseason maybe someone like DeAndre Jordan/Vucevic and

C:Jordan or Vucevic/Zubac/Chandle
PF:Kuzma
SF:LBJ
SG:Beal or Butler/Hart
PG: Ball

Of course that isnt as sexy as them using free agency and signing Kyrie/Klay/KD/Kawahi/

Or packaging Player for Anthony Davis. Im just looking at potential options. With how he is playing right now Beal is looking untradeable.

I cannot comprehend why we haven't taken the Drummond deal

"monk is young tho"

drummond is putting up 15/15 at age 25 and has NEVER played with a decent point guard. our best center is MKG

DO IT MITCH

More like the Clippers. Doc would get something out of him...or Mike Malone.

shyt, a 7 foot young player always got a job

even if he was good he wasn't gonna be in the best system due to how the bucks play ball with giannis. their system goes against everything he should be trying to be
