2022-2023 In-Season Trade Thread-Please use it.

[still a fan]

The other thread has run it's course so here is the updated Trade thread for this season.

The NBA trade deadline is still two months away, but next week marks the unofficial start to trade season. When the calendar flips to Dec. 15, 74 free agents who signed with their teams in the offseason will become eligible to be traded.

To get a better sense how trades might shape up ahead of the 2023 trade deadline, we have organized the entire player pool into different roster types (franchise centerpiece, All-Star, starter, reserve, etc.), with info on salary and years remaining on their contracts. You can use these tables when attempting to determine what trades are possible across the league -- especially since 28 out of the 30 teams don't have cap space (only the Indiana Pacers and San Antonio Spurs have room) and will need to trade salaries that match within 125%, 175% or $5 million.

Teams like the Boston Celtics ($6.9 million and $5.9 million), Denver Nuggets ($9.2 million), LA Clippers ($9.8 million), Oklahoma City Thunder ($10.2 million and $4.2 million) and Utah Jazz ($9.8 million, $9.7 million and $6.8 million) have large trade exceptions and can acquire a player without sending back salary.

The players who aren’t eligible to be traded until December 15 are listed below.

Players whose contracts haven’t been officially finalized aren’t yet listed below. Players who have the ability to veto trades in 2022/23 are marked with a caret (^). Players on non-guaranteed or partially guaranteed contracts are marked with an asterisk (*). However, those on Exhibit 10 deals won’t be listed here unless they make the regular season roster.

We’ll continue to update this page over the next few months as players are signed or waived.

Randle seems to be playing good ball, with or without the top competition, he is even smiling and playing nice with his teammates.

Is this the player we would want to keep while trying to find a DM equivalent, or is he the player you trade now when his value seems to be at it's highest point since his 2nd team all NBA?

I know what I would do if you can, and it seems there are a couple teams faultering and the PF position is a need for them.

But what my eyes tell me is that this team, FO, and coach have already put RJ on the block and really like Randle.

So could the big trade come down to draft night or FA when RJ's poison pill has expired?

I am still under the belief that you cannot have three lefty pounders all in the starting unit all making 100m+ and be a true contender, I don't care who you bring here, and without moving one of those contracts the likelyhood of a star making 35-40m will be very tough to pull off.

So my gut says Knicks are hoping RJ shows just enough to entice teams to take a 22 year old with a ton of picks to get whoever that next available DM type player is.

In the meantime, is our big moves for this years deadline just going to be trying to move three guys not even getting off the bench, must have a ton of value doing that to them?

Cam Reddish breaks silence on rumored trade request
Published December 8, 2022, 11:42 AM EST

By Jesse Cinquini · 2 min read

New York Knicks forward Cam Reddish has had a turbulent past week or so. After a solid start to the season, Tom Thibodeau removed Reddish from the team’s rotation entirely once Quentin Grimes returned from injury. Reddish has accumulated two consecutive healthy DNPs in New York’s two most recent outings against the Atlanta Hawks and Cleveland Cavaliers.

Seemingly making matters worse for Reddish’s future with the Knicks, New York Daily News Knicks beat writer Stefan Bondy published an article on Wednesday saying that the team and Reddish were working on a trade to move him elsewhere.



However, Reddish had the opportunity to speak on these rumors after New York’s win over the Hawks, and he was quick to shut them down:

“I haven’t requested any trades. I have not. Y’all seem to know more than me, for real. I don’t know what y’all talking about, but I haven’t requested no trade, nothing like that.”

Cam Reddish, 24, is in his fourth year in the NBA and second with the Knicks. He’s averaging 8.4 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.4 blocks across 20 appearances this season. Reddish is shooting the ball inside the three-point line with excellent efficiency, as he’s converting 55.0% of his two-point field goals, by far a career-best.

Considering the Knicks traded a first-round pick last season to acquire Reddish, he should receive consistent rotation minutes. It doesn’t make sense for Thibodeau to have Reddish rot on the bench when there are arguably worse players ahead of him in the rotation, but Thibodeau has a reputation for giving youngsters a short leash.

FYI, Lavine cannot be traded till Jan 15th, and Woj has not spelled that out but just says the Knicks are monitoring the Bulls situation, in other words they pray that the Bulls continue to collapse that players stay injured and Bulls then feel the need to break up the team like Utah did, but realize this Zach makes over 37m, and DM at the time of the trading situatin was making 30m.

It’s no longer news that the Knicks are looking for another star player to pair up with Jalen Brunson. It has been reported before that the ‘Bockers are hoarding their eight first-rounders in order to pounce when that next megastar becomes available. The problem in that is they aren’t sure if one will ever be on the market.

Woj: "You go back to September 1 when Cleveland made that trade for Donovan Mitchell. This may haunt this Knicks regime until the end… The Knicks will be watching Chicago [possibly targeting Zach LaVine]… They need a star attraction."#NewYorkForeverpic.twitter.com/rpr9YtSt3x

Knicks fans are certainly hoping that the team gets that “star attraction” they are seeking for. But as things currently stand, their prospects aren’t looking that good.

[ShadyOne]

Man, this is sad..

No one wanted to “overpay” for Mitchell. Now here we are, hoping someone makes their lesser player available to us, so we can pay what we could have gotten DM for (or more).

And that’s no disrespect to Lavine, I’d take him, and I like him

This site, you just have to shake your head each time it puts up a trade proposal?

there's no way Lavine commands the same package as DM

What you think they going to ask from us? If it happened, which I doubt it does

They will have other interested parties. And they will absolutely play off our desperation. Could also be whoever the next supposed target is, not just him

IDK, but Lavine is almost 2 years older, with an injury history, making much more, and doesn't have anywhere near the track record of team success that DM has. And CHI doesn't have Ainge as a GM.

So the better question is, why do you think the price would be the same? let alone more?

there's always other teams interested if there's a legit star available. And Rose hasn't made desperate trades nor do I think we'd be desperate for Lavine. CHI is the team desperate for assets, they are truly stuck in NBA purgatory and they need to restock the assets cupboard in a bad way.

Didn’t only mean Lavine, it will just keep going, with the next name. Chicago isn’t stuck at all. They have players. And they have easily moveable deals. And aren’t stuck in any cap situation. Hypothetically, they could trade Vuc right now, as a rental. They will be able to get a few picks for DD, and will definitely get at least a few for Lavine. They are fine

I’d bet a Lavine deal would look like the Murray trade, but with a bit more in picks/players

[nycericanguy]

Lavine is the only guy they have that would bring back significant assets.

I think you view everyone else through rose colored glasses compared to the way you view our situation.

ok so they'd end up with a few extra picks and no young players and not having their own picks to tank. Doesn't sound so fine at all.

We have young players, all our picks, tons of other picks as well and moveable contracts and you hate where we are.

Derozan will return plenty. And they can pretty much wipe the slate clean if they like. We can’t. And who says they don’t start playing better

Our situation isn’t good, as far as our cap, and our players. We are in pretty bad shape. Stuck in the middle. With no cap, and no real star. Looking at all the teams in a similar area standings wise, who wouldn’t you trade places with? I mean, the only ones I see for me, that I think are worse off, are maybe the Wolves, and Clippers

last time he was traded he didn't bring back much. How many contenders can really give up a lot for him other than late 1sts?

They can wipe the slate clean without their picks, but we can't?...lol. Lonzo is the worst contract on either team easily.

No, we can’t

And I’m not a huge DD guy (well, double Ds I am..) but if a guy that’s coming off a 2nd team all pro, and is playing well again isn’t worth anything, what’s our stuff worth? He’s raised his value, and outplayed his contract. Teams would take him gladly
