Dragic and 1st for Gallo?

Quote

The Toronto Raptors have also expressed interest in trading for Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari, HoopsHype has learned. Toronto is one of a handful of teams who’ve inquired about Gallinari.

It’s worth noting Toronto has looked to trade Goran Dragic, who is in the final year of his contract. Dragic could be used as a potential trade chip to match salaries with Gallinari.

Gallinari and Raptors President Masai Ujiri have a history together from when the Italian forward was the centerpiece of the Carmelo Anthony trade. Ujiri and the Raptors also pursued Gallinari when he was previously a free agent.

I'd be afraid Dragic is damaged goods.

Question: was Gallo held out for a pending trade?  Mmmmmmmm????

If so, it better be good. Our bench is not nearly as good without him.

Dragic does not help this team in anyway in my opinion.

[bleachkit]

Maybe they want the Gallinari 1st as ammunition for another trade. I can't imagine we really need another pick in the late teens, early 20s. 

[BangHolman]

Is Dragic better than Gallo/Wright for this team? We don't need another late 1st. It's just a trade asset. If the goal is to make the playoffs then we're just making a team ahead of us, that we can catch, better.

I think Dragic would be  good player to pair with Trae on the floor at the same time.  He's another ball handler , Passer who can get his points.  He did a great job in Miami a few years back  BUT...  I don't like his situation.  I don't want to give up Gallo for him.

[ShooterSays]

We're in win now mode and trying to get into the top 6 in the East.

Gallo won't be traded unless it's a move that results in a better player to help us in our playoff push.

Would you do this trade:

I need my capologist to speak to this one:

Gallo to Toronto;   Dragic to Dallas;   THJr to Us.

He11 no! 3 years left on a $75M contract.

I wanna add Dragic without giving up Gallo. Any way for that to happen.

2nd unit Euros  

Dragon  

Bogi

Gallo

That’s a championship 3 off the bench right there. No other bench could handle all 3 of those guys +OO.

The only problem I have with THJr is that he is out for the season.   His salary goes on the books next season so I don't know. 

But there are other ball handler guys who we can consider like Corey Joseph or Terrance Ross.

Yeah he's not helping us this year so no thank you. And the even bigger problem with THJ is you also have Bogi and Huerter on the roster. All 3 do similar things and are all paid around $16-$18M per year. That's like 40% of our cap lol

Josh Hart is available. He's pretty good.

[Diesel]

I thought for a moment.   Put it in the dieselputer.

What do you think about the following:

http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=ybvjhvaf

 

I don't know how to copy the graphic BUT... Here's the skinny:

Beal to Utah. 

Utah needs some help.  Beal needs a Change of Scenary.  Ingles may be done forever.   Clarkson is ready to be the full time PG in Utah.   I think they can get away with Beal at the 3. 

Conley to Atlanta. 

We have need for another ball handler.   Conley has age but he still provides.  He can be on the floor with Trae at the same time as another Ball handler.

Bojan/Gallo/1st round pick from Atlanta to Washington.

 The party is over in Washington.   They need to consider a rebuild.   That rebuild should include:

Kuzma, Caldwell Pope, Harrell, and Dinwiddle.   If they tank now, they can get a high pick and if they have two picks in this draft, they have somebody to go with what they have.  Their calling ought to be making Kuzma their franchise player and stacking players around him.   They should be looking to move Bertans.    However, the pick makes this trade work.   They need PF and future PG. 

They need either Jabari Smith or Keegan Murray with their first pick and if they get a second lottery pick...  TyTy Washington.

When we got the 3rd pick in the 2007 draft I remember Conley saying he didn’t want us to pick him, he didn’t want Atlanta.

Fast forward 15 years, we don’t want his broke d!ck either.

Lw3 has been saying he’s headed straight back to the Heat. That’s not tampering but it kind of is in a way. I think a rested Dragic can be a force in the playoffs. 
 

Having said that, Wright has a knack for getting steals in the passing lanes and forcing turnovers. Dragic would be a menace for us on the offensive end. 
 

I think Goran has another year or two left but the tank is emptying I agree with that.
