Everything Trade Chatter

[KeonClark]

I can't remember the last time I read Doug using the phrase "league sources", so maybe this has an ounce of value, but it probably means you can say goodbye to a couple of our young assets:

The fact that Poeltl, Nogueira and to a lesser extent Siakam are all of the market (that is according to Doug and his sauces) leads me to wonder if JV is on the block this summer to try and alleviate the tax bill.

If they were 100% confident going into the future with JV at the 5, you'd think one of Poeltl or Bebe would be shopped around right now

I love Bill Simmons' characterization of Vasquez as an "irrational confidence guy", lol.

We all have that one buddy who sucks at sports, but has an inexplicable Jordan-esque swagger.

Replace "sports" with a general "something" and you've got something that I can co-sign even harder.

To Raps: Andrew Bogut
To Mavs: CoJo

To Raps: Andrew Bogut
To Mavs: CoJo

To end of bench: JV

Front court is set. basically if we can get an improvement on Demarre Carroll in some miracle at the 3, or a good 10th man that is 6'8 or over sure. But the team is set as is.

I'd say Cojo is a marked man in the summer, we 100% should save the 7 million on his deal and promote Delon Wright. But it looks like Wright is ready to step in now and be the 10th man Powell was prior to the Ross deal.

I don't see any real reason to make a trade unless something salivating lands on the door step. We have to see this whole Ibaka thing go.

Connecting the dots from Doug's piece, a deal could be:

CoJo + Sully + pick for Gallinari

Not sure if Gallo's groin injury would torpedo a deal.

If MU can land Gallo or Wilson Chandler to come off the bench ooooooooh boy

Amazing if that actually happened.

I know its a pick in the 20's.. but I'd prefer that over Gallo. Need to keep the machine pumping with new kids/talent.

Especially since tax will be a huge concern going forward. Cheap value contracts will be a necessity. Can't give those up for another rental... and we can't afford to give big contracts to Lowry, Ibaka, 2Pat and Gallo.

Yeah I agree that its odd that they would be very insistent on keeping both Poeltl and Bebe, especially since they apparently are willing to part with their 1st rounder this year. To me a cojo+bebe package makes the most sense.

To Raps: Andrew Bogut
To Mavs: CoJo

I'd add Bebe, and see if Dallas would give back their 2nd rounder (36-38th pick). Helps us free some additional cap space and not have us worry about Bebe's extension coming up in 2018.

If Gallo's acquired, he could conceivably start over Caroll.

But in terms of roster balance, probably makes sense to have his scoring prowess coming off the bench.

Yeah carroll won't lose his starting job all year. Even if he plays bad he'll get the token 6 minutes per half. If scola kept it all last year you can be damn sure casey will ride this out

[lewro]

But Gallo would be a rental, right? If we are dumping Cory to save money, gallo will cost triple cojos deal to resign. Seems a waste.
In terms of draft, we will supposedly have more roster spots in new CBA, correct?
If we are dumping cojos $ then I'd expect a cheaper contract or a pick. Like cory for jameer + pick swap (likely 2nd rd).

I could see JV, Cojo and a 1st round pick going Pacers' way for you know who...
