I agree also isn’t there some trade kicker. Schlenk trading acumen leaves a lot to be desired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warcore Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Count me as one of those who wishes we made the deal the Nets made w/ the Nuggets. A 1st is better than a second and Faried is also a good vet expiring who brings toughness to the team and fills a need we have at backup 3/4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have liked that deal as well considering i just seen the protections are only 1-12. They could still be late lotto miss the playoffs and hawks get the pick. Either way it's a solid 13 to 18 pick imo where i think Denver ends up at in the draft next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GameTime Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 I think what is getting lost in the shuffle is the right to swap 1st rounders in 2023. If we progress the way we should by then and Prokhorov continues to be the terrible owner that he is we are talking a guaranteed top 10 pick here at least. This was Schlenk's best trade. Great move. I really like Lin. And Lin playing the 2 is way more realistic than Dennis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Lin. And Lin playing the 2 is way more realistic than Dennis. Bingo! So looks like to me Schlenk made this trade just to have the right to swap First Rd picks in 2023 ...maybe betting that the nets won’t be in the playoffs and we will by that time. then second Lin’s deal comes off the books after this year so making this trade was no long term commitment to Lin and we stay “flexible” within our cap for next off season. Brooklyn has done this before and it seemed like a small deal but then backfired on them: if I’m not mistaking I believe the Celtics or the Cavs swapped first rd picks with the Brooklyn Nets last draft based on past similar deals. So schlenk May be on to something we won’t know. Lin attitude vs Dennis attitude: if I had to make a good assumption on this...Schlenk probably feels Lin would be more supportive of Trae then Dennis. Dennis alpha attitude may not mesh well with young Trae as he’s still young himself entering his prime years and would like to continue starting....why would he want to mentor a young Trae Young to take his point guard duties and he’s still only 24/25 years old? ....of course Dennis could stay but I see no reason to keep Dennis and Lin to help mentor Trae Young. like I’ve said from the very minute the rumor broke out among fans that schlenk doesn’t like Dennis, I’ve believed Dennis was out the door every since then.

RedDawg#8 Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 It’s an expiring contract guys, for a 2nd round pick. We neither gained nor lost anything in that aspect. I don’t get why people are so upset. We arent signing anyone this year, we aren’t going to sign a relevant FA until these young pieces show they are poised to compete. We maintained cap space after this year in exchange for a private tutor. Nothing to rejoice or complain about, just a simple move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final_quest Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Disappointed. But how valuable is that 2023 pick now? If you trade that to another team knowing they get the lower pick between Hawks and Nets. Guaranteed top 10 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffery123 Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Schröder may now get his wish: Milwaukee or Indiana, probably Orlando. Personally, I do not want Dennis anywhere near Trae. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NekiEcko Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 I think its a swap of second round picks in 2023. I think this is the way to go, after how Trae did in the last couple of games I believe Lin would be a better mentor to him than Dennis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lin told an awesome story about when he was a rookie Monta Ellis bought him 20 pair of $200 jeans. Time for him to give back. lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm sitting there thinking. The Nets moved Lin to us which does absolutely nothing for us and then they turn around and made the trade Schtink should have made in the first place. We go from having cap space to make exactly the deal the Nets did to use our cap space to get a first rounder from someone to...this. Lin as a 3rd pg? Really? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
