2018 Trade Rumours Thread (Deadline February 8th, 3pm ET)

[KeonClark]

Milwaukee acquires Tyler Zeller from the Nets for Rashad Vaughn and a 2nd round pick.

Is that the good zeller? Or is that the discount zeller..aka the "zellers zeller"

And while we're at how many plumlees are there and where do they play

He is the worse Zeller, the better (though still not great) one is his younger brother Cody Zeller, who plays for Charlotte.

There are three Plumlees, Miles, Mason and Marshall:
- Mason Plumlee is the best one, and he plays for Denver
- Miles Plumlee plays for Atlanta (and is getting paid $12.5 million for 2 more years after this one, lmao)
- Marshall Plumlee is on a two-way contract with Milwaukee (so the Bucks now have both the worst Zeller and the worst Plumlee)

Eh both Zellers are pretty mediocre. IMO that trade is just shuffling around mediocrity, though I guess a second rounder is decent.

Thank you for this bit of information double 0, but I promise you I won't retain it past this next beer I'm about to drink

You could actually make a somewhat decent matchup made up of brothers.

Steph Curry - Justin Holiday - Marcus Morris - Pau Gasol - Brook Lopez

vs

Seth Curry - Jrue Holiday - Markieff Morris - Marc Gasol - Robin Lopez

Then you have the Zellers, Plumlees and Grants (Jerami on OKC and Jerian on Chicago) off the bench

Cody zeller has been an advanced numbers favourite in previous years. Charlotte was always so much better when he was on the court in previous years. Haven't kept up with him this year though.

I'd get Thanasis Antetekoumnpo on that team, asap.

With Stan and Jeff VanGundy coaching.

And tony brothers reffing

[charlesnba23]

Maybe the Graham's could make a comeback

More and more hearing Raptors will be sitting out or just a minor player/value hunter at trade deadline. No interest in Evans (no bird rights; ball-holder; no first-rounder to trade); see Hood as too pricy now and long-term. Slim pickings after that.

Is he saying Raptors were looking at Evans and Hood?

[DanH]

Only to the degree that they always look at everyone. He's saying they never seriously looked at either because of cost.

[DanH]

I've actually written a whole piece on the slim-pickings part of that tweet, because I think they are going to shop Bebe+2019 2nd to get a shooter at the deadline, and also clear a little flexibility under the tax to grab a waived veteran as well. I'll post it when it's up.
