5 Trades That Should Happen: Offseason Edition
Posted: April 12th, 2024, 10:12 pm
We gotta liven up this trade market. I have a few deals in the pipeline that I won't spoil here.
#1. Free Dwyane Wade
Grizz Trade:
Dwyane Wade
Suns Trade:
Ray Allen (Matching)
SAS 17 FRP
PHX 15 FRP
PHX 17 FRP
PHX 19 FRP
Sometimes you YOLO it. I think all my guy TP does is YOLO it, and I love him for it. Wade is an old man on an expiring deal that ends below his max. He's probably losing value by the day. I tried to get Wade from Josh during last season, which was probably peak Wade trade value since he was just untouchable prior to that. I openly love the Phoenix Suns roster and DWade would be the missing superstar to take them to the promised land. There's a world where Tyler doesn't resign Wade and it goes horribly but that's how the cookie crumbles sometimes. If that happens, I hope he delivers a title first like Kawhi in Toronto. Conley/Wade/Moon/Noah/Gortat with Redick 6MOTY. SIGN ME TF UP!
#2. Jesse Gets His Gun
Mavs Trade:
Andrei Kirilenko
Kings Trade:
Metta World Peace
Jonas Jerebko
WAS 14 FRP
ATL 15 FRP
AK47 has just always felt like the Kangiest of players to me. I think it's the super villain sounding name combined with a billion stocks. Jesse gets a little younger and better with AK. Hoff walks away with a slightly bigger sack, we know he likes big sacks. I really don't know what Hoff's ideal outcome is in an AK trade, so I just figured some picks might help him acquire the next guy. Especially since everyone is so damn attached to their picks. Hawks 15 could also be sick if Dirk retired.
#3. Lou Williams is Free
Spurs Trade:
Isaiah Thomas
Khris Middleton
Matching Salary
SAS 14 FRP
SAS 18 SRP
SAS 19 SRP
Pistons Trade:
Lou Williams
I can already feel Jordo squinting at me. Like bro, I'm not freakin' doing that. But somebody has to free Lou Will and George Hill is gonna be a sick combo guard 6th man. Kyrie gets rid of his arch-nemesis in the backcourt that steals shots from him. Only Kyrie is allowed to shoot. Plus, most importantly, I've been dying to know what PG Lou Will looks like and I think it is one of the greatest What-Ifs of SLN right now. He could be Jamal Crawford with some defense! Also, Pistons get a SG of the future on the same timeline as Kyrie in Khris Middleton
#4. Chris Bosh, Ya Gone!
Kings Trade:
Ryan Anderson
Luol Deng
NYK 14 FRP
NYK 15 FRP
DEN 15 FRP
SAC 19 FRP
Knicks Trade:
Chris Bosh
How bad do you want to tank Nav? Jesse holds all the cards with those two Knicks picks. We've now seen Jesse cash his sack in for a lineup of Brandon Jennings/Rudy Fernandez/AK47/Boshtrich/Hibbert. Not the most traditional SLN powerhouse but I think this could get some work done. They create a sort of anti-Nuggets in the West which is fun. Nav gets to tank and catches some picks.
#5.WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY SWAMP
Swamp Dragons Trade:
$24M in matching expiring salary
SEA 14 FRP
Goodest of Vibes
Supersonics Trade:
Paul Pierce
Man, Nick definitely didn't convey the picks I expected. But hey, he finally gets his pick back so he has the freedom to tank and sell Oden for a fortune. Meanwhile, the Swamp Dragons pick up Poopypants for basically no cost to them and have a little fun trying to win in the early days of Stifle Tower and the Brow.
