MEM/LAL/BKN 

Post#1 » by kds92 » Tue May 7, 2024 3:59 am

Sending Mikal to the Grizzlies.

MEM In: Mikal, Vincent, Wood, #17
MEM Out: Smart, Kennard, #7, 2026 1st (unprotected)
Grizzlies get a great fit and a backup PG. They'd be a center away from being a top contender (if they can stay healthy).

LAL In: Smart
LAL Out: Vincent, JHS, Wood, Reddish, #17, 2029 1st (unprotected)
Lakers upgrade from Vincent to Smart and still have assets to make a move like getting a center next to AD.

BKN In: Kennard, JHS, Wood, Reddish, #7, 2026 MEM 1st, 2029 LAL 1st (both unprotected)
BKN Out: Mikal
Nets get 3 firsts, a middling prospect, and expirings for Bridges. Good haul and they free up more cap space in 2025.

Nets won’t do it unless we get #1 and Memphis cuts out LA and keeps Smart.

Smart is not worth this much

Wow, interesting evaluation of Smart.

I don't think Smart can fetch an Unprotected pick.

You are acquiring Mikal Bridges.

We would take the LAL deal for sure if offered but it won’t be. That is an overpayment that we could reroute for a player we want. I don’t think Bridges is a target for us like he was in the past, we have SF options that we didn’t a year ago and need to address the frontcourt.

HUH?

You guys gave up 2 1sts and Jones for Smart 1 year before, who got hurt again and now is a year older. And it was an overpay then

We arent giving up 2 1sts (1 in the future than can be quite good for all you know), JHS (and filler).

I dont even know why Memphis went after Smart.

Bridges or OG was the guy to go get to put next to Ja, Bane, Bridges/OG, JJ, Clarke/Adams/GG jackson if they went smaller

The Lakers shouldn’t be in the deal. I would much rather have Smart over #17 and Gabe Vincent who I don’t remember even playing this year. Thats the portion that is poo poo Vincent is absolutely negative value on his contract.

If we get the number one pick I think we either pick Sarr or trade it for Mikal Bridges. The Wolves literally just showed the world you can’t have enough elite defenders who are capable on offense. Having Bridges, Smart and Vince on the perimeter guarding with Jaren on the back line makes us the best defense in the league.
