Nope. Not involved. So that all but wipes the Knicks off the board, hard to see them doing a trade with us straight up as they’ve said they’re not interested in Russ since March. Indy and Utah for the dregs is about all that’s left. Neither trade worth 2 draft picks, both teams likely to insist on both to get it done. Who blinks?
I think the Pacers will hold firm now that the Knicks are out of the picture. But will Ainge? With 8 fresh first rounders in his pocket will he turn to dumping salary? Generally salary dumps do not bring back that much in the way of assets. It will be interesting to see how he moves forward. This team is still good enough to win enough games to keep him out of a high draft pick barring a very lucky ping pong ball bounce. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I think perhaps the first team to Agee to one pick would get the deal.
I agree, but Danny is in full OKC mode right now. I’m sure a Conley/Clarkson/Gay for Russ and a pick entices Utah but no way I pull that trigger if I’m Rob. Wipes out all your space next summer and those are all old dues, except maybe JC.
Now…would you do that straight up? No picks? That’s a little different because then you can attach a pick and have one left over to move one or more of those guys. Clarkson could slot in as your starting 2. Conley start or backup Bev or rehab a sure-to-come soon injury fo one kind or another. Gay has been solid for years in the right scheme.
