Team Trade Reviews...
1. Memphis loses Courtney Lee, gain 4 second round draft picks and Chris Andersen and PJ Hairston both of whom fit their style of play and who should help in the playoffs this postseason. I'd say for losing Courtney Lee gaining 2 players plus 4 picks...they made out like bandits!!!
Miami loses Chris Andersen and 2 picks and a sub average player in Brian Roberts. Riley going senile.
Charlotte at least gain a player in Courtney Lee, but lose a starter and 2 picks?
Also earlier this season Mario Chalmers and James Ennis (who was just recalled back from DLeague by Memphis) traded by Heat for Udrih and Jarnell Stokes...who was traded along with cash to Pelicans for a 2nd round draft pick...not sure how much tax relief this gets Miami...but it cant be much. If they had just stayed put...it was probably better for them.
2. Philiadelphia get Ish Smith, Pelicans get two 2nd round picks...Ish Smith must be some kind of stud in 76ers mgmt eyes for him to get the starting job for costing only 2nd round picks. Too early to tell who won this trade.
3. Joe Harris to orlando plus 2017 2nd round pick (which might be a good one if Lebron leaves) and in return they get a 2020 2nd round pick. joe harris season is over so this might be a swap of 2nd round picks. Orlando wins this but not by much.
4. Clips send josh smith back to Rockets for cash, plus 2 nobodies...yeah Clips win. Rockets...lose and get more dysfunctional.
5. Ilyasova and Jennings to Orlando, Tobias Harris to Pistons.
I think Tobias Harris is a heck of a gritty player and fits the Pistons team better than Ilyasova or Gaga-Impersonator Jennings ever would. Meanwhile all fairy tales are possible in the Magic Kingdom, but the roster now has 7 forwards. Lots to solve in the offseason. And Jennings...who needs coaching..is supposed to be mentoring Shabazz?? yeah real funny. Pistons win this.
6. Donatas Motiejunas and Marcus Thornton to Pistons, 1st round pick (Top 8 protected...why? no faith, pistons mgmt?) to Rockets, Joel Anthony (expected to be waived) and 2nd round pick to 76ers. Pistons get an immediate player in Thornton and a future starter in Donatas. Rockets get a first round pick which should be good as long as its 9 or 10th overall. Rockets are clearly losing their minds. First getting Josh Smith and then making risky trades. Pistons look great for the present and future and win this one.
7. Cavs get Frye, Magic get Jared Cunningham and plus a 2nd round pick and a protected first round pick, Portland gets Varejao.
How many Knicks fans would be quite ok with losing Frye for all that? All of us I hope. Magic win big here. They get rid of a guy who only shoots and not much else if memory serves and get 2 picks in return plus a possible player, Cavs win big too by positioning themselves for a 10 mill trade exception to be used later and getting a forward who can shoot since Tristan sucks from distance. Portland gets a veteran center who should help, but I think they lose here.
8. Shelvin Mack to Jazz, Hinrich to Hawks, Justin Holiday plus a 2nd round pick from Atlanta to Bulls.
Jazz did well..got a player much better than Holiday...Hawks clearly would like to move on from Teague and maybe they'll do so this summer, they'll get that 2nd round pick they lost back. Bulls get Justin Holiday but why get a guard who cant shoot from the outside...Jerian Grant anyone?
9. Thunder get Randy Foye. Nuggets get DJ Augustin, Novak and 2 2nd around picks. say what??? Nuggets win this easily.
Randy Foye is not going to keep the seats filled when one or both of their superstars leave.
10. Markief to Wiz, Humphries, DeJuan Blair and a first round pick for getting rid of the cancer in the locker room? Phil Jax...come on son you should have done this :) :)
Wiz were supposed to be John Wall's team. Yet they are out of the playoff picture right now. If Morris doesn't mesh quickly, this could go south real quick and that first round pick could be lottery. Suns have easily won this trade.
