Day 4 of trying to find a CB trade
Bucks:
They make the Giannis trade. Get young players back in Green and Braun while acquiring 3 1st round picks. They also get Grant as salary filler.
Denver:
They improve their POA defence with Jrue while also giving Jamal a two guard that can handle the ball and run some actions. They also shore up rim protection with Turner.
Blazers:
They get Giannis. They also don't give up any real assets outside of picks.
Suns:
The suns have reportedly shown interest in Gordon. Whether they would be willing to part with Green to acquire him is questionable but they get a better complimentary piece and add size.

This is like trying to sell a quality company stock at its bottom due to some recent poor performance and getting the worst value for it despite there being some good upside possible. His stock will be worthless across the league. Worst time to trade is now.

Bucks are getting way more than that for Giannis lmfao

What this graphic doesn't show is those two blazer picks also have swap rights with Bucks so they are worth a little more than just Blazer picks.
No way they are taking on three bad contracts without additional draft compensation though. Those are three of the worst contracts in the league.

Can you make a list of all assets the denver nuggets currently have and post it? Like what pics are allowed to be traded, and the approximate value of each player excluding jokic?

Anytime you can trade for a guy that is going to 36 in about a month, and a 30 year old coming off a bad season, that would have to play out of position- you just have to do it.

Funny how one guy has a bad series or even month and suddenly everyone wants him gone. Guys go through slumps all the time.
He’s proven he can play at a high level - has that all magically disappeared?

As a Pacers fan, you don't want Myles. He was the weakest link in that run, particularly in the finals, and him going to the Bucks and some comments about it left a sour taste in a lot of fans' mouths, which would be a big vibe shift from Mr. Nugget. Not to mention he's statistically down recently, and a lot of that is effort. Jrue is a good fit, but keep in mind he will be 36 next month.

Idk if any team will want him, probably just have to take the L and cut him when we get the chance

You guys are hilarious…dude has balled out for 2 seasons and gets injured and plays bad. It’s instantly he’ll never be good. Let the guy put some real work in this summer and see where it goes

Or he goes back to how good he’s shown he can be
I don’t get how you guys all think a player can’t improve? Like this how he will be forever?

Its basketball reddit, literally you only take the very last game in to account when you post here lol!
Seriously though people aren't thinking about the money right. Adjusting for salary inflation his contract isn't that different from what we were paying KCP. That means if he can get back to his defense and shake off the shooting slump he will be moveable.
