Play Nice The Official Bigfooty NBA Week 15 thread

[Wolfs]

Marc and Mike are on the trading block per se. Meaning that Pera and Wallace will listen to offers.

Well, kind of expected it. Twas a great ride.

 

[Memphis]

Still not sure what's funnier the slip or the air ball.

I'd get rid of Wallace first.

The Griz are an opportunity lost. There has been a law of diminishing returns on Memphis assets for years, and he needs to be held accountable for that.

The 2009 Draft in itself was almost a fireable offence.

Bit of a weird time to start tanking.
I know they're 2nd to last but still they weren't deliberately tanking.
Probably won't get anything for Conley with that contract but gasol they could pinch a couple of picks.

Wallace needs to go I agree but he won't cause Grizzlies

 

[Wolfs]

Anyway if I was the Grizzlies, I would take contracts with 2-3 years on them. Looking at the FA class and who has cap, no chance that a team wants to deal with expirings instead they want to make cap room.

So basically yeah

No use waiting, Conley & Gasol's value is only going to diminish further over time.

Reckon the Jazz would give Conley a look. Maybe Washington would do a sea-change deal for Wall, although that doesn't really help Memphis. Definitely seems like a candidate for the LeBron timeline Lakers too.

Utah is a good place for Conley.

If you were the Pistons, would you trade Drummond for Marc (imagine him with BG) or try to offload Reggie Jackson for Conley?

Pistons need to rebuild themselves.

I'd take a risk on Markelle if he manages to string a few games together by year's end and shows he remembers how to play (and shoot) the ball.

That's true.
Just hard to see many teams go after conley with that contract he has.
Utah is a good fit for him though too i agree.

 

[Memphis]

The kings and raptors game is pretty good to watch.
Was keen on the portland and okc game, but for now that can wait.

 

[Memphis]

nurkic with 8 rebounds in the first quarter.

Dunno about Drummond, but I'd think seriously about Conley for Reggie Jackson + Leuer if I were them. Again doesn't do much for Memphis though, and the minute additional assets (ie draft picks) are required it becomes dicey for Detroit.

Both deals make some sense for us. Gasol would be aiming for a mini rebuild. Whereas having Conley would be hoping having a competent point guard makes a big difference for us, however that deal doesn't do much for Memphis.

But agree that we can't afford to give away any draft picks.

 

[Wolfs]

Memphis' would need someone young that isn't in the rotation + picks and a player who is good but isn't expiring for a while.

I would take that deal plus picks.

 

[Wolfs]

Clippers would be an interesting choice for a trade for Gasol.

Gortat and Boban are not as good as Marc and saves money for a splash in FA.

This is gonna be fun.

 

[Santoz]

Luka frustrated.

Just ripped his jersey walking off the floor.

Someone good.... Damn that rules Pistons out.

 

[QuietB]

Makes end game situations really easy to defend if a team is up by 3.

Don't get down by 3 then

Do you reckon the Griz would accept something like Favors (18 months left) + Rubio (expiring)?

The problem with Conley being on such a massive contract is that to obtain draft picks you'd probably have to absorb some bad contracts.

I could see a team like Indy giving up three expiring deals like Tyreke + Collison + O'Quinn, if they reckoned that Conley was better than anyone they could realistically get on the 2019 FA market. They'd probably throw in a couple of second rounders too.

To get a first round pick for Conley you'd need to find a good-but-not-great team needing an upgrade at point guard and entering their contention window, who also possess some cap clogging contracts they need to offload. That really limits the field of prospective trade partners.

You might have a little more wriggle room re. Gasol though.

Regardless Memphis will take bad contracts. They are not in a position where they will get good returns.

Agreed, I just wonder which option they'd prefer.

Indy or Utah could offer you considerable cap relief, but no real assets save for 18 months of Favors or some marginal draft picks.

You could trade for John Wall or Wiggins theoretically, but that just makes you slightly younger and doesn't help you rebuild. Detroit could give you some slightly shorter bad deals, but probably only marginal assets at best.

Maybe a team like Orlando would give you a first if you were willing to accept a shit sandwich of Mozgov, Simmons + assorted other junk.

Cost us the game. Shame no secret tunnels in Phoenix.

I love Conley and would have hoped we moved on him last year but now I think it’s too late. Not sure he’d fit with our group age profile and would prefer giving Holmes some of that cash. Anderson, Josh Jackson or Warren and the Milwaukee pick would earn a conversation I’d think. Maybe we get Dillon Brooks finally
