NBA TRADE TALK: TDL over

[SleepingHero]

I wonder if the Lakers would be interested in Bullock + Brunson for THT.

I wouldn't help the Lakers even if they gave us AD. I am that against helping them in any way. 

I'm a huge Smart fan but his contract is going to get brutal starting next year.  I guess it depends what you are sending out to price match.  DFS + Smart + Green would be a nice rotation of defense.

I would argue that's some if not THE best perimeter defense in the league. 

I'm not advocating just theory crafting.  I have no dog in the Toppin hunt as I know next to nothing about him.

The problem with Grant is I'm assuming you are using THJ for pricing matching purposes and Brunson + THJ might need a sweetener to get that done.

I haven't gotten into the details (besides the Boston deal). I just used Brunson for Grant as the framework. THJ actually makes sense for Detroit even injured so I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't need a sweetener. 


I do wonder if there's a 3-teamer here with DET and Boston that actually sends Grant to Boston and Smart+Horford to the Mavs. The only issue is that it doesn't solve the Celtics PG problems. Unless they really like Killian Hayes or Corey Joseph..

I'm probably overcomplicating it. I still think Boston would be more than happy to send Smart for Brunson as the baseline.
