Corey Brewer Traded to Houston

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

I think you need to take some time and review those protections. The Memphis pick, unlike the Sacramento one, becomes unrestricted in 2019. No second round pick is ever going to be more valuable. That is foolish talk.

Eh.. If we don't get the pick until 2019 it means that MEM either wasn't a bad team or we just had really bad luck. The highest reward we can get from that pick is 4 years away. I think Brewer is more valuable than that. After all future draft picks are considered valuable right?

I disagree. Houston has 4 extra 2nds over the next 2 years. We don't have a 2nd until 2019, unless you think the Clippers pick will vest. We might have to throw Kirk in the deal. If Houston wants him, they'll get him.

Tpe should be enough unless Houston offers picks
 
With brewer on deck it gives the cavs a chance to run a starting lineup of

Andy
Love
LeBron
Brewer / Harris
Irving

And a good bench of

Thompson
Marion
Harris / brewer
Dion
Delly

That's your response? Really? The highest result we could get from that pick is the first pick of the draft in 2019. THAT is more valuable then Brewer. The protections are set up to try to get a middle lottery pick. But, Grant made sure not to end up without a first if that doesn't happen. Plus, it is only top 5 protected in 2017 and 2018. I think you are trying to defend a ridiculous stance here.

You forgot Mike Miller.
 
Hes ok. I don't think hes THAT much of an upgrade over Marion. Id look elsewhere...

Not only are second rounders not "assets," many GMs part with them because they see them as a salary waste.

Your argument is wholly flawed. A second rounder doesn't hold this deal up.

I think Philly disagrees with you. Houston too. Anyway, if another team that can offer Minny financial relief wants Brewer (like Houston, which has its TPE from the Lin trade), you are going to have to provide a sweetener, and if it's not a second round pick or two, what else are you going to include? The Memphis pick? The 2018 first round pick? Dion Waiters? That's pretty much what you have to work with.
 
If the cavs do make this trade you'd have to figure they aren't too worried about not being able to get a rim protector as that still must be considered Priority number one. the question is wether we pick up one during or after the season has ended.

The first pick in the 2019 draft<< Player who can be a key contributor to winning titles in the 4 season before that draft

You mean the same pick that was key in acquiring an All-Star SF?

Which amounted to nothing. In fact you could argue that we'd be in the same position now if we kept that pick.

That's not the point though. You act like we will be the ones making the pick with that Memphis pick. It is going to be traded the same way that that even more harshly protected Sacramento pick was traded. With a large non-guaranteed deal to a team looking to clear cap. We can get something far more valuable than Corey fucking Brewer with that.

Well, they could be thinking that Haywood will continue to round into form. Or they could be thinking about Okafor as a possibility. (Remember, it was reported this summer that the Cavs, among many other teams, had made inquiries, but that Okafor at that time wasn't ready to sign, or probably more likely didn't feel another team would actually sign him. They could always also wait on the buy-out market later in the year.

The thing though about this mythical "rim protector" is that he would have to be better than one of their top 3 bigs to get minutes.

What it tells me is that Blatt's minute allocations are not purposeless, and he does not trust Miller or James to play meaningful minutes.
