Trade season

[kekgeek]

The Pacers are sending Bennedict Mathurin, Isaiah Jackson, two first-round picks and one second-round pick to the Clippers for Zubac and Kobe Brown, sources tell ESPN.

The 26 first is 1-4 protected

Boston trades Minott to the Nets...

Maybe the Nets will buy-out Minott. Then the Wolves can re-sign him. . Come on home Josh!

Looks like the Pacers are preparing for next season when Haliburton is back. Zubac is very good. However, I think the Clippers got the best of this deal. I really like Mathurin’s game and potential. He’s the sort of player who could become the next SGA. Isaiah Jackson is also talented. Those two plus two 1st round picks with only 1-4 protection on the 26 pick is a great haul for the Clippers.

Boston trades Minott to the Nets...

What does this mean for the Wolves? Did they still fail by letting him go? Did the Celtics succeed?

And with the Bucks officially stating they will not move Giannis, the floodgates of trades can open!

Randle for Turner?

I'm not a big Randle fan and obviously it's less than ideal to have ~ $60M tied up in two guys that are mostly one way players and can only play PF (Juluius and Naz) and his waxing and waning effort level largely mirrors the same problem with Ant. Not ideal.

But.....At what point do we acknolwedge that Randle's contract is pretty damn fair, if not an outright bargain? Here are the guys making a similar amount this year: Khris Middelton, Jalen Green, Jerami Grant, Jordan Poole, Tyler Herro, DeJounte Murray, CJ McCollum, Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue Holiday. Randle ranks pretty well against that peer group both in terms of availability and production.

Yep, Randle is frustrating at times, but he’s a great value. I’m very impressed with TC. He obviously had a pretty big whiff on Dilly, but that’s about it. His trades have been very good. Let’s see what he can pull from the buyout market for a PG. with the roster continuity, I really think he has this team ready to contend here. Just play Joan 15 mins/game for the rest of the regular season please

Every time I start to doubt TC he does something really impressive. The deal for Mike Conley and NAW was one example and the Ayo trade is another. I am, however, disappointed in his drafting thus far although the jury is still out on Shannon and Clark.

I think Memphis still needs to waive a player. And if they trade Ja in the next few minutes, they'll likely have to waive another player or two. SloMo is one of the few players they have with no guaranteed money for NEXT year... Just sayin'!

It sounds like Lore and Arod were having some apprehension about the cost of getting Giannis. I have a feeling TC was doing everything in his power to keep Jaden, knowing full well he would need to trade him.

The Clippers' moves are helpful for the Wolves. We have two games coming up with them, and wins would have been difficult against one of the hottest teams in the league. But now Zubac and Harden are both gone, and they don't look nearly as formidable.

The Brooklyn Nets are waiving Cam Thomas, allowing the scoring guard to enter free agency, sources tell ESPN. The Nets made the decision to allow Thomas to find a new home.


-could he an option

I can't think of a better way to put a jynx on the Wolves!!!
