Jae Crowder trade request

[AmareIsGod]

It's happening!

[Wally_West]

A line up of

CP-Book-Mikal-Vanderbilt-Ayton

Payne-Bogdanovic-Lee-CamJ-Biz plus Craig. Nah that’s too good to be true.

[Flagrant Fowl]

I think Cam Johnson would have first crack at starting.

[Split T]

Think you’d want to balance the shooting a bit anyways

[JeremyG]

Vanderbilt gives us the length and rebounding that we need at PF. Plus Bogdan? I'm in. Shams did say that the Suns are now telling teams they can trade a first round pick and take on salary. So it may be legit?

[ShelC]

I'd take that deal but it seems a little light for the Jazz. Giving up Beasley, THT and Vanderbilt for our 1st (prob in the 20s) and a Hawks 2nd (prob in the mid 40s)?

its in another tweet but they would also get John Collins

Ah thanks, that makes a lot more sense. Curious what Ainge sees in Collins and how he'd fit with Markkanen.

If the aforementioned trade actually does go through, it would be a huge A+ for us.

I have some real moonshine at the ready in case it does...

I’m not as high on the trade as some of you. I think it’s solid and I’d probably do it, but mostly because I’m a big Vando fan…not sure I’m a huge Bogdon fan.

I mean, if Crowder and a 1st could get you both Vanderbilt and Bogdanovic, that's a steal. You have to do that.

[Split T]

Well there’s got to be more going out. I think it’s probably just Saric, though I’d prefer Shamet.

Again, I’d probably do it, but I think I hesitate because I wonder if we can do more with the pick. That pick looks likely to be a mid 1st, it’s not a late 1st. No guarantee it’s not a lottery pick as well. Bogdon is older than most probably realize, has had health concerns and is on the pricier side. He’s an upgrade on Shamet, but I don’t think it solves our biggest problem(getting Book a true 2) and it might hurt our ability to solve our biggest problem.

Ultimately I do think that’s more likely to happen in the summer when we’d have our picks again though, so I wouldn’t be too upset.

Don't forget about Okogie. He's been really good for us this season.

Bogdon is one of those guys who can go off for 30 plus multiples games in a row, but then disappear for games on end. When he is on though, he is on and I think could really help us in close games. Injury history is a concern though for sure.

Can somebody remind me, is the draft lottery and draft order affected by the results of the play-in games? For example, suppose we got the 8th seed but then lost the play-in. Do we become a lottery team? Or suppose we get the 10 seed but win the two play-in games and advance to the first round of the playoffs. Do we have a lotto pick, or are we elevated out because we qualified for the playoffs?

I’m pretty sure it’s the top 8 teams remaining after the play-in tournaments have completed that are excluded from the lottery in each conference.

[In2ition]

Yes, if you don't ultimately make the playoffs you are a lottery team with a chance to win the lottery.

[Split T]

They don’t change the order for those who don’t get in though…if you’re 10th and beat the 9 seed but lose to the 8th seed, you still keep the 10th seed lottery position.

UPDATE!

[carey]

Not really an update. He's growing impatient as are the fans.
