Make your predictions on what we do.

Post by Split T »

I’m not including details in the poll options, just basics.

Only one option, so if you think they are doing multiple, just go with the bigger move.

I’m personally back on the Butler in, Beal out train. Think we move Nurk too…I’m 50-50 on another move.

Why does Beal agree to it?

I’m thinking it may just be due to the fact he knows it’s not working here and he can go back to being a starter with a more defined role.

That's where I'm at although I could also see another random trade involving Allen/O'Neale.

Because we find a place he’s willing to go

I'm hoping we get Butler just for something interesting to watch this season and hoping he can inject a little fire into the team but I'm prepared for just a Nurkic minor trade. I'd love to end up with a PF somehow, someway. We need some playable size.

I think Nurk is on his way out, but there may be another samll deal in addition to that. Maybe Allen or O'Neale.

My guess now…maybe the same trade but more likely multiple

Out: Nurk/Allen/1st
In : Goga/Toppin

Nurk and a 1st to Washington
Allen to Orlando
Jonas to Indy(with a couple 2nds from Orlando)
Goga and Toppin to Phoenix.

Tyus/Booker/Dunn/KD/Bitadze
Morris/Beal/Oneale/Toppin/Richards

Kinda lame but it does balance the roster better and only sacrifices 1 pick. Think we gotta move Grayson for size if we keep Beal.

Ok, I'd be for that one. Sorry, Grayson.

Yeah, I like Grayson but I'm trading him for rotation size.

Damn right it is. A bonafide 25yo defensive wall and an uber athletic forward who can shoot. For Allen and a 1st? While also dumping Jusuck? Sign me up right away. For reference take a look at what it is allegedly demanded by Utah for Kessler (multiple 1stRs, up to three even).

I was honestly just referring to the making out, but yeah, not a bad trade either

You guys are severely overrating Goga and Obi. They should be back-end rotation players.

Better than Nurk rotting on the bench and we definitely need size in the front court. I’d just caution high expectations, very much like Nick Richards.

What high expectations were placed upon Richards? We paid two 2ndR for him. Everybody knows he is questionable as a starter; more like upper tier backup. Obviously better than anything we had when our center rotation was Nurkic (corpse, unplayable), Plumlee (8-10mpg caliber) and Oso (2ndR rookie, nice project but not ready).

There were some very high expectations from some people when the trade happened and after his first game.
