Feb. trade deadline/ teams with expiring vets/11 worst teams

[Spud2nique]

Some dudes are signed to teams that just don’t make sense as far as player and team timeline.  They signed them to the deals but once the teams start spiraling downward, they will most likely deal their vets. That’s where we come in an pluck at their rosters.

 

Teams that are projected to be bottom feeders by Vegas for the 2023-24 season.

We are projected to be the 12th worst team or the 18th best. So I’m just naming the teams projected to finish below us.

 

Bottom 11…

 

 

Wiz: projected win total 24.5

Delon Wright, Mike Muscala

 

Pistons: projected win total 26.5

Monte Morris, Alec Burks, Joe Harris

Spurs: projected win total: 29.5

McDermott, Bullock, Zach Collins, Cam Payne, Khmer Birch, Cedi Osman 

 

Hornets : projected win total 29.5

Gordo Hayward, PJ Wash 

 

Rockets projected win total: 31.5

Aaron Holiday

Jazz: projected win total : 36.5

Kelly O., Talen Horton Tucker 

Raptors: projected win total: 36.5

Gary Trent Jr. Thaddeus Young, Otto Porter

 

Magic: projected win total: 36.5

Markelle Fultz, Gary Harris

 

Pacers: projected win total: 36.5

Buddy Hield

Bulls: projected win total: 37.5

Andre Drummond, DeMar Derozan 

 

Nets: projected win total: 37.5

Spencer Dinwiddie, Nicolas Claxton, Royce O’Neal

 

Thoughts?
 

We need to get some wily vets at some point whether through trade or free agency or trade deadline waivers, whatever the case.

Delon, Delon, Delon!!!!

Dude would help our perimeter defense... I guess Patty Mills is the dollar store version.

Other than that.. maybe Dinwiddie, PJ, or Bullock?

I could see Wright or any of the Spurs guys.

Still got an eye on the Detroit Bogi although he didn't meet the criteria of your list.

He's due $20 mil this season, then only due $2 mil of his $19 mil for next sesson....also your TPE target.

Good stuff. There also will be an unexpected team or three that will want to move a player or two.

Yeah Bojan is who i want.   Also would take Drummond if we lose Capela.

This is the kind of threads you usually provide for us but better. I was channeling my inner Burd if you will!

He still dominates 2K. Who does the player rating there? It’s not the rating so much as the attributes, it’s kind of off. Drummond is nuts on there @Sothroncan attest to this I think.

Yeah and isn't Drummond the guy who recently said he thought he was the stuff when he was with the Pistons and got humbled as his career went on.   That's someone i want around our young guys.

He did he did. I love that if he means it. He doesn’t often speak up so that’s good I think but like you said, a vet big man who’s still serviceable and underrated NOW for who he’s become. He can mentor OO for even better shot blocking experience in the league. He’s never been a huge problem or headache on a team as far as I can remember. I’m down for Mr. Drummond!

I’d co-sign this. And possibly add PJ Washington and Otto Porter.

I like Porter but is he still able to play?  Seems like he's been down with injuries a lot.

yeah just checked.  Last 4 seasons games played  14 / 28 / 63 / 8 (last year)

So he’s due for a long run!

I didn’t realize it’s been that bad. I wanted the Hawks to draft him and have just kind of held onto that ever since.
