Trade Deadline Thread: Rumors and News

[Phantom255x]

Is it just me, or was that Iggy deal really idiotic for the Heat? Not only do I not see much of a difference in immediate production, Winslow is still a young player with potential. Iggy might be close to retirement.

They value Iggy primarily for his defense. That said, I agree, I don't see him threading the needle much, and yet they extended him + actually traded Winslow + others for him. Idk...

It looked like the Lakers and Clippers were actually holding out hope that he'd get bought out lol. Their fans seem surprised he was traded and traded for Winslow+

Yeah, seems crazy.  Makes it seem like the Heat were frustrated with Winslow...mabye taking forever to get back from injury or something?  Maybe won't play this year?

It seems the deal might be James Johnson + Waiters + Winslow for Iggy + ? ? ? (or something along these lines).

Neither James Johnson nor Dion Waiters are out for pregame warmups. So that might answer that.

To be fair to the Heat, Waiters sucks. No to mention, he's under contract till 2021. 

$12,100,000  this season
$12,650,000 next season

That's a terrible contract. They were trying to negotiate a buyout with him.

As for Johnson, he has a $16,047,100 player option for next season.


In other news, Dewayne Dedmon got traded to the Hawks.

Jabari + Len for Dedmon + 2020 second + 2021 second

Sacrameto is trading Dewayne Dedmon to Atlanta for Jabari Parker and Alex Len, sources tell @ZachLowe_NBA and me. Atlanta also gets two second round picks.

For what?

Win for Sac Town for me. Parker is a solid 15/6 guy when healthy, and Len has been better than Dedmon this year.

Have either Len or Dedmon played much this year?

[Jiri Welsch]

I agree. I would love to know what Atlanta's end game is...

Heat going all in to win the championship this year.

my, how far Jabari Parker has fallen since he was drafted.

Embiid and Smart are the two best players in that draft.

That draft was bad....

Not quite.  Embiid, Jokic, and then ..... probably Smart.
