2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[ItsGoTime]

I posted a trade earlier, admittedly without much thought put to it, but one I think is “legal”. Idk the value of Holmes or Washington, only that they were both rumored to be shopped at the TDL. Many here believe THJ and Holmes have similar trade value, so…

Our 2022 FRP + TPE for PJ Washington
THJ for Holmes (willing to add a heavily protected future FRP that likely becomes a SRP?)

That leaves resigning Brunson at ~20M

Luka - Dinwiddie
Brunson - Green
DFS - Bullock
Washington - Maxi
Holmes - DP



With that kind of depth, at next years TDL, you can then use Brunson’s new contract and positive value players, Bullock and Maxi plus future draft capital to bring in any star available (Lillard)

Brunson 20M + Maxi 9M + Bullock 10M = 39M
Lillard 39M

Lillard - Dinwiddie
Luka
DFS - Green
Washington - Bertans
Holmes - DP

I used Lillard because of the moves the front office just made there and his relationship with Nico. Plus Brunson is a nice get in a Lillard trade, if POR is forced to do so.

I saw those trades and I don’t think it takes the other teams into account when making them as mvossman pointed out. I myself am not one to talk to with regards to a straight THJ for Holmes swap because I fought that fight not too long ago around here. 


First, salary is not a fit, they have to add a player so none of these THJ for Holmes trades are actually a final product. Second, many around here ignore THJ reverting to the mean this year with his 3%. Is that permanent? Does Sac believe they get the 2 years of great % or what we got this year? One thing about Heild, even when he was publicly upset with his team, he still put up good shooting. THJ signed a new contract and crapped the bed. Coincidence? Maybe, but he won’t get much time to turn this season around with the injury. Also, it’s not about what we think, it’s about what the FOs around the league think and with this particular trade what the Sac FO thinks.

The second trade of PJ for a late FRP also doesn’t think about the other team. Sure they were shopping PJ because Bridges has shown to be the better player at his position for them. Shopping him is to get max value out of a guy that is first and foremost young (!). Also he’s too good to play the role he’s playing. They’re shopping him to get a missing piece to their championship team. They need a C desperately on that team, it’s no secret.
