re: NBA Trade Deadline Thread

Thought it was likely one or both would be traded a couple days ago. I've seen some reports today that said they're just fishing for a homerun trade and both are probably staying.

What does Orlando need that much cap space for? They'll want to resign Fournier and Oladipo but they had plenty of room to do that already.

Feels like Hennigan the GM got a mandate to make improvements fast or he was out. They're going to miss on every big free agent and end up signing Parsons and Noah.

From the rumors, it seems like they may be trying to move Dipo, too.

I could see it with having Fournier and Hezonja but they are going to want a lot.

I could see Dwight landing in Phoenix for Chandler,Morris and parts as he plays out the year before opting out.

Hawks fans, what's the likelihood of either Horford or Teague is dealt?

i cant see them trading a superstar in horford and an all star in teague

I don't understand why Blake Griffin in OTB. I know the clippers have a great record without him this year but they have no shot in the playoffs without him. He got into it with a trainer who is a good friend of his...so what? He's a top 8 player in the league.

Because he has the most value of the core. The Clippers think DeAndre is a good piece and with rule changes coming up, he is less of a liability.

Paul is older and the return on him is lesser and his natural skill set ages well.

Blake has had 2 surgeries on the shooing hand and maybe is starting to pile up injuries. When healthy, you're right, he puts up MVP caliber numbers and was probably the 3rd best player in the playoffs last year.

The depth the clips could acquire for Blake could make them very good and make Doc the GM look brilliant.

I believe if Blake is traded to even a decent team, he wins MVP next year (a la Barkley).

With the emerging news that Splitter is out for the rest of the season, I don't see us moving Horford unless it's in a deal that nets us Howard.

As far as Teague goes, I still think he's on the move. He's still valuable after this year, and we have Schroeder waiting with Mack as a serviceable backup. If we could move Teague for a 3 and D guy i'd LOVE it. I wouldn't care if we had to add a draft pick to make it happen.

TL;DR - Splitter out for season makes Horford IMO 2/10 to be traded.

Teague I feel is 6/10 to be traded

Been out of the loop I guess. All I remember reading is teams will be whistled for delay of games for fouling players out of bounds.
