2022-23 Team Developments: News / Trades / Free Agents / Rumors

Wall trade offers more questions than answers. I definitely would not give them a first and would not even like to give up more than one second.
Pass.

 

They think they will get something better. We’ll see.

 

I think it's too soon for them. Grant is the hottest name of market. They want a bidding war and to see what they can get up to the final hour of the deadline. Offers for him 1) aren't going anywhere. 2) aren't going to get worse. They have no reason to deal him this far ahead of the deadline.

 

He’s one of the hottest commodities right now, and the offers are sure to get better after ours have been leaked. Not expecting him to be traded here and before the deadline, though am glad we tried.

 

Honestly I think Houston takes Russ straight up for Wall.

 

Wall is borderline trash at this point. The Rockets are paying him 40 million not to play.

 

I wonder if that's enough to net Turner or Wood.

 

They are just silly to you because you have no answers for them.

 

Still dodging I see.

 

That don't deserve answers...they aren't questions in the first place. You just spout off nonsense You never explained how Russ was responsible for the 4th quarter either btw.

 

FrontOfJersey = Steve Carell

Slick2021 = Paul Rudd

Zach Galifianakis = Me

 

Me:

 

not sure dallas goes for it, but THT has more potential and is cost-controlled. i proposed this because i saw a dallas writer saying they should move DFS before he gets expensive. could probably do the same deal with kleber subbed for powell, too.

either one gives us a mobile pf/c option and a big wing defender who can knock down the three often enough to warrant playing time. dallas gets to try and develop THT and see if they could make him, luka, and zinger work offensively (i think it could happen).

 

Dallas will never do that. They are in win-now mode to keep Luka pleased. Porzingis is playing better without Carlisle (funny thing that Kidd who's hated here is doing a better job that Carlisle who's loved in maximizing their 2nd star).
They will trade for Turner or Holmes or someone in the same token


I also don't see them trading DFS. He's key in their success and plays heavy minutes. They will probably look to trade THJ and probably Kleber. Brunson has been mentioned too but I guess they will only do that as a last resort

 

under carlisle, basically the same group was the league's top offense. kidd has them playing better defense, but they're not a better team this year.

i don't see how they have the assets to get the guys you're mentioning.

again, the idea of moving DFS came from their own fan/blogger. and none of the suggested returns were as good as THT, imo. the concern is that DFS makes 4 million now but is in line for a big raise (mikal bridges gets 20 per, and you'd be surprised how similar they look statistically). DFS is exactly the kind of guy we need, so i tried to think up a trade.

of course they'll try to move hardaway, but he just signed an overpriced extension (oops!), so good luck there. i tried to come up with a way to eat hardaway's deal for westbrook and net DFS in the process, but dallas ends up having to give up too many players due to russ's simply enormous contract.

i think they don't move brunson. he's going to get overpaid, but he's valuable and has found a home there. i think he's a sixth man of the year type talent. but they can't overpay both brunson AND DFS. that puts them in the lux tax for a 6th place squad, and probably on the hook for two full years that way.

 

I did ask you specific questions. You just ignored them. Your debating skills are childish- you just deflect, change the topic, and act like your opinion is the only one the matters, all while trying to tear down the person who’s opposing you.
