Point Guard Trade Targets

[Wolvesfan21]

The Warriors aren't gonna pay over 100 million in luxury tax for Steph, Klay, Wiggins and Draymond. They need cap relief from a Russel trade which is why Covington paired with Teague made sense. Wiggins for Russel isn't happening.

It could, I posted the idea of Butler for Saric and RoCo and someone on here said that is not happening either. Was that you? lol

Well my actual idea included DIeng and Fultz as well. Man it would be nice to have Fultz now. I admit it was a total flyer on Fultz, but we needed and still could really use a PG (Is Culver really a primary PG or not?)!

The Wolves absolutely should have pursued Fultz last season. This organization should focus intensely on finding and acquiring young high-upside players should are struggling in the first couple years out of college. Dennis Smith falls into that category.

Yep, it makes sense to take on young guys who have fallen out of flavor. Especially ones who are what 21-22? You're right that many teams and fans for that matter are too quick to call a player a bust. I like the guy who needs to prove himself and still young. He has motivation to stay in the league. They don't want to go overseas and take a 80% pay cut and try and learn Chinese or something.

Whoa, this is a very easy example to cite now,,,,,talk about hindsight. The reality on Fultz a year ago was that he was as close to complete mental meltdown as I have seen in a player. He was flat out broken. His salary was the reason teams weren't showing interest. It seemed 50/50 he would even play again. He is due $10M this season and $12M next. Let's not pretend it was obvious not to jump on this guy. And he still can't shoot a 3 at all...I get the premise, but this example seems poor example.

Did you not read? He is the guy I wanted included in the trade with Philly. Yes I know the history on him. So no it's not hindsight, but then again we would be jettisoning Dieng who is/was overpaid. It was a flier which would have worked out in that scenario.

There's been a lot of talk on the board about trying to pry Aaron Holiday away from the Pacers. Do you think Indiana would have any interest in giving him up in return for RoCo?

Covington and Bell for Holiday, Leaf and McDermott?

Indiana would have a legit starting five with Brogdon / Oladipo / Covington / Sabonis / Turner and with TJ Warren as a 6th man scoring punch.

I don't want to give up Roco as I believe another Roco is tougher to find than a decent young point guard. We will have plenty of point guards to choose from in the draft. Its Rosas job to nail the pick. That said, with the trend of positionless basketball and point forwards, Culver could already be the guy. We might be able to sign some young point guards in free agency too. Point guards really aren't that scarce.
