re: Per Zach Lowe: Pelicans added to teams that will pursue D Mitchell if no extension
Posted by Baron on 5/20/24 at 2:26 pm
[quote]“Gilbert and Koby Altman would look for a lucrative package of multiple draft picks and one or two young players with star potential in a Mitchell trade. For example, a source told Hoops Wire that the Cavaliers would ask for Tyler Herro and Jaime Jaquez Jr. from the Heat in Mitchell trade tal...

[quote]A recent contract extension likely makes it untenable to move on from him this summer, but a slow start next year could be a different story.[/quote]
I’m fine with moving on from Willie if the right coach becomes available, but I’d rather not make change just for the sake of change. If we...

[quote]IIRC, it was mainly centered around future picks, Obaji, and Lauri Markkanen.[/quote]
It was Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen and Ochai Agbaji along with first-round picks in 2025, 2027 and 2029, plus swaps.
Which looking back at it, is a huge haul, but wasn’t universally considered as su...

[quote]That just means they had to make a trade. That has nothing to do with what they gave up vs what they were competing against.[/quote]
But that is exactly what they were actually competing against. We can float out the soft offers Boston made, but nothing came close to what the Lakers actual...

[quote]What was the offer the Lakers were competing against?[/quote]
They were competing against LeBron and the pressure he puts on front offices. He wasn’t going to let them sit on assets for another year.
With that said, the Cavs are going to get an offer from the Lakers of Reaves, JHS, DLo ...

[quote]Guys, no one is offering someone as good as BI or Herb, much less both. And we have twice the picks and young players. Pels being involved is the Cavs wet dream.[/quote]
Correct. Just an offer of BI, Dyson, and 3 1sts is better than the Lakers, Heat, and Nets best realistic offers.

[quote]Out was Ingram, 2 1st (2025 and 2027), Nance and Daniels.
In was White, Vucevic and Reed.
It's the most realistic and effective trade anyone has suggested in all of these threads, no offense..[/quote]
Bad trade for us. You’ve suggested Vucevic a few times on here. I’m not sure...

[quote]Ingram and Nance works for Garland and Mobley, just saying. Though to get Mobley you either add a first or Herb instead of Nance [/quote]
I get it, I’d love Mobley on this team too. However, I’m not sure how many times this has to be said, but the Cavs are not trading Mobley. They said in...

[quote]Trade kickers are paid by the team trading him, it doesn’t really effect the receiving team[/quote]
I could be misremembering this, but I thought that it was a big deal whenever Davis waived his kicker because it was going to count against the Lakers cap in a way that prevented them from o...

[quote]At 40 million a year he has no value[/quote]
No value is a little strong, but yes you are correct that his value is greatly diminished with that contract. Him on Murray’s contract would be a no-brainer.
Would we really be that much better off paying Garland $164 million the next 4 years...

[quote]Atlanta could trade Murray back to Spurs for their two picks back, SA would take that[/quote]
That might be the best thing for them to do, but from a purely optics standpoint, there’s no way they do.
Now Trae to SA for all their picks back may be more doable. I could easily see the Spur...

[quote]I think they’re trying to trade both. I believe it was stated somewhere that Hawks are going the rebuild route. I mean both stars are on the trade block probably asking for picks- I think thats a full rebuild.[/quote]
Hopefully not. The Spurs have their 25, 26 (swap), and 27 picks. It’s al...

[quote]Outside of AD, what can the Lakers offer of note?
A lot of their picks are tied up and their main young talent of note right now is Reaves.[/quote]
The absolute best they could do is Reaves, DLo, Hood-Schifino, 3 firsts and 2 pick swaps. And that’s if DLo opts in. They’d also have to ...

[quote]I’m not sure what you’re saying. Just because both like to handle the ball doesn’t mean they have overlapping strengths. Instead I would argue that Trae is a 3 pt shooter and Zion is paint scorer. I mean they’re a really good match.[/quote]
In a lot of ways I agree with you. Offensively th...
