re: The Official Trade Proposal Thread

You just compared a 6'2" shooting guard in one of the worst drafts ever to the best shooter to ever play

Literally said they’re the same height and Shep has elite shooting skills like Curry had. Never said he’s Curry dude.

As far as you saying he’s strictly a shooting guard that’s highly debatable, he has the skills and the BBIQ to be a lead guard

Less than Trey's next contract.

So say both players stay on the same trajectory, Trey will be worth more in a trade than Herb with a contract that pays him double? I disagree but each his own.

For Ivey?

No, this is hypothetical, you have last years draft class and a team is offering #5 for Caruso before draft night, coming off 1st team all defense as the best G/W defender in the league under contract for 2 more years at 8 million per year. I would place #1 this years value as #5 in what people call normal drafts.

Theoretically, 5th in a normal draft works if you have your board set and feel there are several players worth it should one come off the board unexpectedly.

I’d have loved to have gotten Mathurin that year but the Pacers threw everyone for a loop by getting him.

Would you trade Caruso coming off an all defensive 1st team performance under contract for 2 more years at 8 million per year for the 5th pick in last season’s draft, or if I can guarantee you the 5th pick in next seasons draft?

Caruso, sure. Herb is a better player than Caruso though.

Herb, no i would not trade Herb for the #5 pick in any future draft.
I would be delighted if the #5 pick in any draft turned out to be as good as Herb.

Ausar Thompson, no
Jaden Ivey, no
Jalen Suggs, no
Isaac Okoro, no
Garland, sure
Trae Young, obviously
Dearon Fox, obviously
Kris Dunn, no
Mario whogivesashit, no
Dante Exum, no

That's only 3 guys that are clearly better than Herb in the last 10 drafts.
And this is a shitty draft year.


Do you not understand how much of a crapshoot the draft is?
Why on earth would we covet a top 5 pick in this draft as someone who is going to help us be a contender in the next 4 years? We know Herb helps us contend. We know BI does. If both of them are going out, then we better be getting back sure things, not a crapshoot draft pick.

Thank you, you just proved my point that people here vastly overvalue Herb, Caruso coming off last offseason would have the same exact value as Herb does now.

---

no he wouldn't. he'd actually have more value right now than he did last year. A lot more.

Caruso shot 36% from 3 last year averaging 5ppg. 33% from 3 the year before and 7ppg.
He shot 41% from 3 and 10ppg this past year.


Herb shot 42% from 3 and averaged 11ppg this past year.

Where would Herb go in this draft knowing what we know now?

He's already 25 but that white dude from Tennesee is pretty old and some have him top 10.

There's teams that can be enamored by potential and there's teams that can't be.

We are a team that can't be. You can't trade a top 10 sf and a 1st team all nba defender for a top 10 pg and a potential rim running big.

Zion would just shake his head and income more zion wants out talk.

Sarr could be Evan Mobley, jjj. He could also be James Wiseman.

That is a huge gamble this draft. A gamble you'll lose often times and one that is franchise altering. No thanks, I'll keep herb and move on.

You could convince me garland/Allen will be next

MM deleted his twitter again. He has some good takes but remains the ultimate chode imo

Looks like he got in trouble

Yeah I wonder if his so called Hawks source said “hey dumbass shut the frick up.” He was literally stating on his twitter that his takes were sourced from the Hawks.
