No one in the league is taking Poole unless you attach an asset to him and get back nothing.

Phoenix may take Poole for Jalen Green at this point.

Salaries match but we would have an extra season of Green.


I’d probably rather let Poole expire instead because Green hasn’t done well in Phoenix, but that is a trade we can make without adding assets.

So...why would we do that?


Did we not learn when we traded CJ for Poole? We got worse AND added another year of a negative value contract.

Why do it again?

I quite literally wouldn't even consider this trade without a 1st coming back our way. And no i'm not saying they would do that or should do that, just pointing out how absurd it would be to even think about repeating the cycle of adding another year of a negative value player and contract.

I think the goal would be able to get anything back that we could try to develop and not lose the salary cap flexibility.

Are we sure Mathurin is better than McGowens?

That's how we got stuck with Poole in the first place. Would be a terrible idea to add another year of bad money.

I am not worried about Poole right now bc he is not playing. As long as he is on the bench that is fine.

The team has 1 win with DJM starting. 4 wins with Herb.

Start Herb.

Is there actually any hope that we get rid of DJM soon? I understand Mosley probably has his hands tied with the starting lineup and that’s a higher up call but this organization is clearly not serious about winning if we’re going to continue to start a losing player at PG when we have a winning player on the bench.

Not true. Its only a bad idea if we are strapped for money.

The Poole/ CJ trade was about keeping 30mil to use on future assets. Trading Poole for Green would be the same.

Otherwise we lose $30mil in assets and end up with $0 cap space from it.

Its not "ideal" but its not a terrible idea.

The issue is that we should be trying to actually get a positive asset with the $30mil space and not do the same thing as last year with the hope that we actually get the positive asset next year.

We aren't stuck with Poole, we are stuck with $30mil to take back on other assets. If we trade Poole/ Green then we are still just stuck with $30mil to take back.

We should now be looking at positive assets with the $30mil instead of keeping the $30mil space and never getting the asset.

exactly....

i fully believe we are playing Murray to try to drive up his trade value, it's just he's not doing anything to help that

Imagine if we could draft someone like Alexander-Walker. That would be crazy

Swap Saddiq and Karlo for Herb and Missi. And send Poole to a facility in NO East

Mathurin is trash. He’ll be picking up that player option next year

He is expiring but if a player is making $34M i need him helping the team win.

Missi makes Z worse because of spacing. Good player but needs to be traded if the goal is to keep Z. Karlos should continue start to allow space for Z with his stretching 3
