Tobias has to be the first player to hit a game winner and immediately get traded right? Lol

I know people are more focused on the Philly side of this trade, but the Clippers are now a Gallinari trade away from having space to sign two max guys (Kawhi + ______) and potentially acquire Anthony Davis on top of that.

Re: 2018-19 Transaction Thread

The Kings hold a lot of cards on what they decide to do being the only team with cap space and having a lot of expiring contracts. They could upgrade the wing spot by taking on a solid overpaid guy like Barnes or Gallinari. They could also go cheap and trade like a 2nd round pick for Jeremy Lin.

I would assume they Clippers make another trade as they have about 9 G's on the team

In the very least, the Clippers should be moving Gallinari for expirings/picks as they continue to build towards a potentially huge offseason.

Re: 2018-19 Transaction Thread

Have heard that the suns would maybe get in on a trade with Pelicans and lakers to get Ball and it could help lakers to get AD. I see Suns have a young guy in TJ warren had never heard of him but he is 25 and looks like he is now a good young player the last like 2 years. Has there been any talk about what all the moving parts would be if like a trade with Suns, Lakers and Pelicans where to happend?

His pitch to Kawhi will be hilarious. "Look at Philly, they're stacked on the wing. Do you really wanna have to deal with that all year? Come to the Clippers." Meanwhile, he's the reason.

Phoenix I believe would have to give up a pick, so it really depends on how badly they want Ball and how well they see him fitting.

A first from Phoenix, and 3 more from the Lakers would be intriguing even if the Lakers picks aren't expected to be that great. Any pick from Phoenix over the next couple of years should have just as good of a shot at being a top pick as the picks from Boston. If not a better shot.

I don't know what players would be involved in a move like that, but I'm not sure New Orleans interest would be quite as high if they don't take in a PG.. Although that would make Randle, Mirotic, and others movable for a PG from elsewhere.

If the haul ended up landing them Ingram-Kuz-Warren that's 3 guys capable of getting you 20 points on any given night (plus Jrue), which can be just as valuable as landing a superstar. Even if they landed Tatum and he put up 30 a night it's not going to equate to the value of 3 starters who can get you 20, and simultaneously getting rid of weak spots in the line-up. Team would have a good balance, not much unlike how teams like the Nuggets, Nets, Kings, have built really good teams without sinking tons of money into one guy, or having one top tier guy milking all the possessions.

This doesn't get the Pelicans any closer to landing a "star" though, unless they get lucky with a Phoenix pick. If Phoenix is willing to bet that adding Lonzo makes them good enough to fall out of contention for the top pick next year, and NO feels like they will still be in contention for the top pick that could be enough to sway both sides.. But I would put about a 3% chance on that.

Stanley Johnson to Milwaukee for Thon Maker

Stanley Johnson to Milwaukee for Thon Maker

Seems really odd for Detroit, but if Johnson gets to Milwaukee and taps into even just a little bit of that potential he was believed to have that’s a good pick up for them.

I'm not sure what to make of it from the Bucks end. If they plan on keeping Stanley beyond this season, it pretty much screws their ability to sign a significant free agent.

If they plan on letting him walk, I would have expected more than essentially just dumping Thon's $3 million on someone for nothing.

Maybe Bud is able to tap into some of the potential that Stanley showed in college, but he's been brutal in the NBA so far. I'll never doubt the powers of Bud though; he's a magician.

The only way this really makes much sense to me is if the Bucks have another move lined up (like, God willing, a salary dump of Snell) and Stanley is there as an emergency wing.

He had a decent rookie year, hasn't done much since though. If nothing else you have a energy guy off the bench that can play solid defense.. Bucks still need a back up big, and I still don't know what Detroit plans on doing with Thon.

Detroit gains a year of control swapping out Stanley for Thon. Ideally they trade Zaza and give Thon his playing time. Getting an interesting young wing and a draft pick for Bullock is fine as well. In both cases Detroit got younger and added team control.

Due to the lousy cap situation Detroit was left in, they've been relegated to smaller upside plays and improvements on the margins. The only other player that I would argue needs to be moved that realistically could is Ish Smith.

It also sounded like Detroit was inquiring about Mike Conley. I'm conflicted, as it would make Detroit better now but it would require spending more young assets. I would imagine an offer would have looked like: Reggie Jackson, Leuer or Galloway+Calderon/Zaza, Luke Kennard and top 3 protected 1st for Mike Conley. I can't see Memphis saying yes to that unless it is their only offer; Detroit is just limited in what they can do.

a tweet from the cap expert guy said

" The feeling I get is that Detroit is setting up a Conley move and just needed to clear some salary under the tax first before they do it. Right now, if they send out $27.9M in salary for Conley, they'd stick under the tax.

Nothing sourced there, just a feeling. "
