TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Kammrath]

Bobby Portis seems destined to return to Milwaukee on a four-year deal north of $40 million.

Rivals believe Nic Claxton will return to Brooklyn around the full mid-level.

Oklahoma City is still looking to absorb salary for draft picks before the new league calendar begins, sources said.

Lonnie Walker, sources said, is not expected to return to the Spurs.

Thybulle would be a good get for us. Any chance Randle and/or Reddish and some of our players get thrown in the JB SnT?

Doesn't seem like the SnT is a priority for DAL right now....but hard to say. A lot of silence from DAL on this. Wait and see.

Hard to find any deal with us for Thybulle that makes sense for PHI. Maybe if you include Tobias in something like this? Super unlikely but maybe if Morey actually values THJ's shooting next to Harden/Embiid.

Phi gets - Eric Gordon, THJ
Hou gets - Davis Bertans, protected 1st (from someone. maybe Phi, probably us which kills the deal?), multiple 2nds
Dal gets - Tobias Harris, Matties Thybulle.

Yeah I was wondering if this could be a part of Philadelphia including Harris in a deal and Morey using Thybule instead of pick(s).    Gordon, THJ and then a signed PJ Tuckers is interesting.  I just don't know if that is a Morey route though.

I agree.  That Houston haul would kill the deal.  Don't see them taking on that.

If a SnT does happen and returning our 1st isn’t in the cards, hopefully we can at least remove the protection so we could use 25 if we find a trade we like.

Zero chance on Randle, Reddish seems like he would fit what Mavs want but Mavs may like other wings more

If we truly are looking for another trade it seems like it would be to a team that’s looking for cap space next off season. Just a thought.

Says Mavs and Pistons discussed trading one of our high salary player into cap space (probably Bertans).

Pistons had interest in Hardaway last summer.

Would have been pretty funny if we could have thwarted NY’s ability to clear cap space in this way.

[Kammrath]

The Mavericks and Pistons, according to multiple league sources, have engaged in talks about the Pistons absorbing one of their sizable contracts into cap space. It’s not known if the Pistons want additional compensation, which would create a holdup.

The Bulls should be the odds-on favorite for what team Gobert is on next season, even including the Jazz.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are a considerable threat to one-up the Bulls as the Timberwolves continue to look for a veteran center to pair with Karl-Anthony Towns. The Towns-Center pairing has been a surprise in conversations, but new President of Basketball Operations Tim Connelly is convinced that the best way to maximize the roster is to put Towns next to a defensive force who can protect the rim and control the glass. Towns’ elite shooting means that you can still build an offense with enough spacing in a two-big lineup, which is a rarity in the NBA and provides counters to what the Wolves will see in the playoffs.

Cam Reddish's numbers are terrible.  Is this guy officially a bust?

Cam Reddish's numbers are terrible.  Is this guy officially a bust?

He has shown some flashes. Solid 3-point shooting before he was traded to the Knicks. And he is obviously a good athlet with perfect measurements for a modern wing. Thing is that his athleticism isn´t translating to good defense. He still looks like a rookie. Game hasn´t slowed down for him.
