Ant gets help!! ๐ฅ๐ฅ Dame gets a STAR ๐ Wizards get younger ๐ฏ Bucks get a change ๐ง
This 4 team trade helps every team, after this post season has gone past the first round there's been a lot of uncertainty...
Bucks got eliminated by a play in team with the best record in the NBA ๐ญ and reports came out about Middleton possibly being on the move
Wizards couldn't even make the play in with Beal, Kp and Kuzmaโ๏ธ Recently Wizards have just fired there gm who gave Beal the expensive extention. Wizards need a new direction with this team as they stand now.
Portland didn't make the play in after getting grant, drafting Sharpe and trading for reddish and Matisse ๐ฌ On adding young more talent to Portland Dame said โIโm just not interested in that. Thatโs not a secret. I want a chance to go for it. And if the route is to (draft youth), then thatโs not my route.โ
Wolves have no trade value for Gobert after trading the house away for him and Ant seemed like the only one trying in the playoffs putting up 31/5/5 on 48/35... Meanwhile Kat regressed in Points, Fg, 3%, Ft% and assists and his upcoming contract is going to range from 50-62 mill after this upcoming season ๐ตโ๐ซ
Why would the ๐ฆ Bucks do this??
They spent 5 2nds on Jae Crowder whose barely being used... doing this move puts him in the position to start and would bring the defense that they lose from Middleton
There have been rumors reported about Middleton being an option to leave from the Bucks end and he's already sparked intrest with teams like the Rockets seemingly
Potentially Bucks starting lineup
PG- Jrue SG- Beal SF- Jae PF- Giannis C- Lopez
Why would the ๐งโโ๏ธ Wizards do this ??
They fired there gm who seemingly did nothing except trade wall for Westbrook then trade Westbrook for Kuzma who may be on the leave in FA and gave Beal a 46-57 mill range extention instead of trading him...
Wizards now need a new direction and that would start with 7th overall draft pick Sharpe who showed in the last 10 games of playing for the Blazers he can clearly get/average over 20 a game already.
To match the salary you get 28 yr old Nurfic you can keep long-term or trade for future value ๐ค
Nurfic last season didn't have a proper direction in the offense but still managed to average over 51% from the field and 36% from 3 with a blk and a steal a game.
Potential Wizards starting lineup as is after this trade
PG- Monte SG- Sharpe SF- Deni Pf-KP C- Nurfic
(Not including kuzma because he's been reported to want elsewhere this FA)
Why would Portland ๐ do this trade !??
Dame is giving big hints at leaving if there isn't a significant difference this off-season and he mentions how he doesn't care about any young talent being added anymore ๐ฅด
Getting Kat is huge because he's a star and he can do it all with spacing the floor, shooting efficiently and rebounding.
Portland have Grant's bird rights who they can resign and he can make up for Kats subpar defense at times.
This trade still leaves Portland with the current years draft pick in which they could use in an attempt for another trade as well
Portlands Potentially starting lineup
PG- Dame SG- Simons SF- Matisse PF- Grant C- Kat
Why would the Wolves ๐บ do this !??
Ant needs some help in the playoffs and Rudy/Kat duo seemed to backfire really badly. Kats performance dropped a LOT from the regular season.
Kats only going to get more expensive from here on out as his upcoming contract ranges from 50-62 million...
Kat is Timberwolves only MAJOR asset left aside from Ant and it would be best to gets some value back
You get Middleton who can play the 2-4 and can give you 20 a night on atleast 44% from the field and 37% from 3. Middleton is also a very well known defender who can help contribute to the Wolves defense alongside Rudy and Jaden ๐
In the playoffs Pat was very crucial adding 12 a game on 57/48 splits and would be very useful for the Wolves bench
Corey is only 24 who shoots really well averaging 11 a game on 50/42 which is exactly what the Wolves need in return.
Wolves also get 3 picks in return in which the 26 and 28 would be very valuable considering Dame is already 32 years old ๐คฏ
Wolves potential starting lineup
PG- Mike SG- Ant SF- Middleton Pf- Jaden C- Gobert
What do you think about this trade โ๏ธ?? I tried to make it as fair as possible in terms of value, I think it works very well for every side involved
