Trade Market: What Shooters Are Out There?

[hpantazo]

Maybe we can grab Furkan Korkmaz from the Sixers for cheap. He showed promise as a NBA shooter but the Sixers are the Sixers and they don't manage their young talent well. He shot 40% from three this season and averaged 9.8 points per game.

I'm a fan of Kork. Doesn't do much but shoot, but he does it well

Joe Harris is a nice option. He's a free agency this upcoming off-season. Plus he played with our guys in the USA team last year.

We can’t afford him, and we can’t sign-and-trade for him.

I don't know if MLE is available right now but I think that's his current value on the market. Anything above that is an overpay for any teams.

We won’t have the full MLE, only the taxpayer version.

Either way I think he's looking to join any contender or just stay at BKN for more money. But I doubt any contending team will pay more than that.

I think you’re misjudging the market.  He’s coming off an $8 million / year contract, and played extremely well.  I can’t imagine he’d be looking at a pay cut.

There will be teams that will be paying him above 10 million. But I doubt those teams are anywhere near contention aside from Brooklyn.

Aaron Baynes took a paycut to sign with the Celtics few years ago.

Just throwing this out there to add a different name to the mix, but if we really wanted to make a splash, we could make a play for Buddy Hield. He makes $24M next season, but is signed for 4 years and his last season is only $18M (declining contract). Literally just last year, some people were wondering if he might be better than Jaylen. While this take hasn't aged well, he is a fantastic scorer and shooter from outside.

I realize this would likely require Hayward (unless we wanted to cobble together say Smart and Kanter) so I imagine people will say, 'why not just sign Hayward to a similar contract?' And I get it and probably agree, but Hield is younger and doesn't have the same injury concerns as Hayward. Reportedly the Sixers are interested in using Horford and either Shake/Thybulle to bring in Hield, as well, so it would prevent them from greatly improving their team composition.

Other than the fact that their owner is incompetent why in the world would Sacramento be interested in Hayward or Al - let alone trade an asset for either one?  If they're moving Hield it's for someone young, on a good contract and/or with big upside.  Neither of those guys fits that description. 

Now they probably would be interested in Smart, but the Celtics D takes a major hit if you swap him for Hield.

Any way to finagle a trade for Bogdanovic from SAC? Kanter, Langford and some picks? I have no idea why SAC would do this outside of the fact I don’t really understand most of their moves to begin with.

would you trade kemba for john wall?  i guess it saves a little money for dc.

John Wall is yet to prove he can play basketball again. Not unless we got heavily compensated with draft picks and Hachimura

[SparzWizard]

Can we get Bradley Beal

well, that's the rub.   they aren't going to add anything.  that's why i'm asking.   i know john wall wouldnt do what i just saw kemba do.   

also, word is around here john wall is playing again and its going well. 

[Uncle_Stingfinger]

Can we get Bradley Beal

probably not.  the owner loves him and they don't seem to have any interest.   would you offer jaylen and smart?   it would take a big offer.    i think  kemba, wall, tatum, hayward might get us to the finals tho.

It has now been 642 days since John Wall last played NBA basketball, and he is the same age as Kemba, with a game more predicated on athleticism than most other guards in the competition. You wouldn't have seen Wall do what Kemba just did because he can't get on the court

meh,  i'd take the chance.   walls just better and they're gonna have to get significantly better to win a championship.  they missed their chance at this years easy one.

One guy I really like is PJ Washington. He's a very promising 3+D small-ball 4. Not sure whether we can pry him away from the Hornets though.

Fortunately for us, there are plenty of shooters in the draft: Saddiq Bey, Aaron Nesmith, Devin Vassell, Tyrell Terry, Isaiah Joe, Sam Merrill, just to name a few.

[Rikibellevie]

Something I proposed before the deadline, with a team who may easily move : trade Kanter when opt in + Poirier + Langford + 14th for Rose + Kennard. It gives a good alternative to Kemba if he struggles def in PO (and put him as a 6th men) or if his knee is problematic. Rose seems mentaly and physicly regenerated. And Kennard is an ending rookie contract high level shooter... We could still with 25th and 30th picks take a chance on a big (Tillman/Reed/ Carney...) and hope the Williams step up... The probleme for us is both are FA next year and it could be hard to resign them (that's why I thought this trade before TDL).
Detroit have to find young guys to really begin their rebuild. If they value more Kennard in that idea we can give also the 30th pick... Which give them a chance on 3 prospects (11th + 30th + Langford) instead of one.

Which leave :

PG : Walker/ Rose / Waters
SG : Brown / Smart / Green
SF : Hayward / Kennard / FA
PF : Tatum / Grant
C : Theis / Robert / Tillman / Fall

Cut Ojeleye and Edwards

Unrealistic ? Unintersting ? Thoughts ?

Wall was better. Absolutely no guarantee he still is. If he isn’t an All-Star level player anymore (and given the emergence of Trae Young and Ben Simmons there’s no assurance he would return to being a top 5 PG in the East) then his contract is arguably the worst in the entire league.
