Clippers don't have the ideal start to the season. Kawhi was expected to be fully healthy, but then he's not. I don't think be has even played full starter mins till now. I expected PG to hv a big season, even put him into my all stars list, well, he's also injured for most of the time. This is just unfortunate for the franchise.
Well, from amdaymond's NBA Mill: https://fanspo.com/nba/s/nba_articles/p/hF5Hp7CcRU9mc8/thanksgiving-nba-mill-4-saddiq-bey-trade-calls-jazz-want-to-keep-markennen-and-clarkson
I got 3 informations:
Kyrie's value isn't high
Clippers willing to move Batum and Covington for frontcourt help
Suns are interested in Bogdan Bogdonovic
So here, the 1st trade is to trade for Capela. A lot of rumours say Clippers will go for Myles Turner, but for me, even after everyone saying that's the case, I still think that he's not available looking at what this Pacers team are doing now.
Then it's either Poeltl or Capela. I went with Capela for them here, cus I saw I forgot if it's a FANSPO post or a report saying Clippers are interested in Capela.
This will probably make Zubac a backup C, and they will have a very nice C rotation, solving their paint D issues
Then, with Kyrie's value being low, and Clippers stars hving much injury issues, I think the Clippers can use another star to lead the team
Adding Kyrie into their 2nd unit should improve them very much, and when everyone's healthy, Kyrie is aldo great fit to Kawhi and PG
And in this whole deal, they just need to give up 3 players, in exchange for 2, and they don't even that much rotation, so this trade won't hurt their depth
They can choose whether to let Kyrie walk or extend him as well. Kennard, Clippers wanna move him cus they wanna clear that money, Batum and Covington is not a must for this team too
Nets:
With moving Kyire, their offense will be lead by KD and Ben, with Ben playing way better in recent games, I do think that the ball handling won't be a problem.
What is needed beside KD and Ben is, shooting. Here they can get back Batum, one of the good catch and shoot players in the league, very similar to Royce O'Neale. Covington who's a good defender, not as great as before but it's still solid, provide some all rounded D and good shooting, and Poeltl, well needed rim protector
It will look like this downgraded them, calculating acc to fame, yes, but calculating acc to power, it's an upgrade
Hawks:
Trading Capela can open up playing time to Okongwu, who should get more mins. They can also want one of the guys they want, Jae Crowder, and also Saric who can play a bit of PF mins for them.
Losing Bogdan is no big deal for them, as they're just going to get Kennard as a replacement, and maybe a better shooter than Bogdan too
They can also get back a pick for future transactions, after trading away 3 frps for Murray they now got back 2 frps including the Huerter trade
Suns:
It's just acc to the report, I have no idea why they hv the interest on Bogdan lol
Next move for the Suns will be moving Cam Johnson and a frp for Jarred Vanderbilt: https://fanspo.com/nba/s/general/trades/fkDEJVat3d3zWT/jazz-getting-cam-johnson-who-coach-should-like-suns-getting-a-better-defending-pf-in-return
This will then completes their squad and should be back at the level of the contenders
Spurs:
I think this is a way better return for Poeltl comparing to my previous trade, Reggie Jackson can have his own team in the Spurs, and Spurs can move him again in the deadline for sho, and here they can get back a top 8 protected frp too (not me who add it in, it's the 76ers irl who added this in)
