If Lakers are making a play for Dejounte, it wouldn’t shock me if 1) Brooklyn was the third team to take D Lo and 2) Hawks find a way to convince LAL to take Clint Capela and shed further money off their books. Itll be interesting to see how it plays out

(@YossiGozlan)
I can see the first thing happening. The Brooklyn Nets are prioritizing 2025 cap space. If they can’t get upcoming free agents like Spencer Dinwiddie to agree to one year extensions, it would make sense to trade for players like D’Angelo Russell under contract for next season.

Milwaukee Bucks are among multiple teams who are registering interest in trading for Atlanta Hawks star Dejounte Murray, league sources tell @NBAonTNT, @BleacherReport.

The Bucks would have to include Bobby Portis and Pat Connaughton to even make a legal trade for Dejounte Murray.

Milwaukee only has two tradable future draft picks: 2024 2nd (via Trail Blazers) + 2027 2nd.

The Wizards are expected to eagerly act as a trade facilitator over the next few weeks, per @MikeAScotto (https://hoopshype.com/lists/nba-trade-deadline-intel-lakers-knicks-nets-mavs-hawks-pacers-blazers-pistons-wizards-pelicans/).

Washington is willing to take on unwanted salaries in multi-team deals for future draft picks and young players.

Imho Brooklyn needs to involve Mikal to have Mavs interest..something like THJ + Lively + OMax + picks for Bridges + Claxton.

DAL: Mikal + Claxton + 1 FRP (worst of 29 DAL/SAS)

SAS: 1 favorable FRP swap (29 DAL/SAS) + 1 SRP (28 MIA)


Mikal = Lively + 2 FRP + THJ 
Claxton = OMax + 1 FRP + 1 SRP


I may be short of 1 FRP on Mikal value, if we need to add more OKC could get involved, Presti would love something like this:

DAL: 1 FRP (1-10 pr 24 HOU; if not conveyed 1-10 UTA; if not conveyed yet unpr 24 LAC + 1 SRP)

OKC: 3 FRP swap (25, 27 + rights to swap their own 29 FRP with the worst of DAL/SAS)

I guess where we disagree is Claxton. Imho that's fair value factoring his contract status.

I meant in this season, that's why Mavs get back their own 2029 first (actually the worst one among SAS, OKC, DAL) in order to "unlock" another FRP

(01-20-2024, 08:50 AM)ThisIStheYear Wrote: Even if the rules allowed it, I wouldn’t trade Lively straight up for Claxton and Bridges. I’d need a lot more value coming back. The fact that DLive is on a rookie deal makes his value even greater. His value is so high, he’s practically untradeable. It’s not really even worth a discussion.

I’d give up Hardy and Holmes plus a second or something like that (in other words, I’d give up a 2nd), but only if it didn’t impact our ability to use the exceptions next year.  And folks who’d include Omax in a deal for PJ are certifiable. Omax is tradable, but would have to bring back someone much more reliable than PJ.

If you solved the Bkn pick so we can trade the 28 and 30, you still need to solve the NYK pick. Can’t word it “next available” (which is how it’s been does around here to basically trade the 26 pick knowing that we will convey the NYK pick this year) because if that becomes the 27, then you can’t trade the 28.

Claxton AND Bridges…straight up (we all get this is illegal)? Now that’s full crazy talk.

Maybe you flip Kleber + Curry for Fournier + two 2nd round picks. Then flip THJ for WCJ + Houstan. Finally you combine Holmes + Houstan + four 2nd round picks for Washington.

You end up with

Doncic/Exum/Hardy
Irving/Green
DJJ/Fournier
Washington/Williams/Omax
Lively/WCJ/Powell

Added two players U26, improved the cap structure with the Fournier expiring and the modest contracts of Washington/WCJ at a total cost of two 2nd round picks.
 
I think all these deals are reasonable. That´s the benefit of buying low.
