Getting in on the Millsap Sweepstakes 4 way trade idea (BOS, ORL, MIA, ATL)

[Rida]

So the top names on the trade market seem to be the following: Milsap, Vucevic, Dragic, so I tried to think of a realistic trade that would work for them and their respective teams

Boston

Incoming: Vucevic

Outgoing: Smart to Miami, Olynk to Atlanta, Jerebko to Atlanta

Atlanta:

Incoming:  Jeff Green, Jerebko, Olynk

Outgoing: Millsap (Orl)

Miami:

Incoming: Aaron Gordon, Hezonja, Marcus Smart

Outgoing: Goran Dragic (Orl)

Orlando

Incoming: Millsap, Dragic

outgoing: Vucevic (Bos), Aaron Gordon (Mia), Hezonja (Mia), Jeff Green (Atl)

This trade gives Orlando a starting 5 of Dragic, Fournier, Meeks, Milsap, Ibaka and makes them in contention for a playoff place and improves them the most.

They have to give up their main youth of Aaron Gordon and Hezonja and Vucevic, but all of them have been bench players this season.

Miami: Sheds Dragic Salary and gets young cheap and expiring contracts in Hezonja, Smart & Gordon, who they can waive or re-sign only Marcus' $3  million for next season is guaranteed

Boston: Needs to shed roster spots with Zizic, Yabusele, and Brooklyn first rounder arriving next season. They get a quality big man in Vucevic and it costs expiring contracts, Marcus and a 2018 protected pick (not the Brooklyn one)

Atlanta: Don't have much leverage here, they can't afford to lose Millsap like they lost Horford for nothing, getting Green, Jerebko and Olynk gives them the chance to get under the cap and pursue free agents

Thoughts?

Good for Miami.  Not sure anyone else "wins".

I think we could get Vucevic for less.

Don't see anything of real value in the package we are giving up, Danny won't re-sign Olynk or Jerebko this summer he actually needs to clear out players to accommodate, Yabusele, Zizic and Brooklyn pick.

The Celtics are giving up too much for Vucevic.

Miami is getting waaaaay too much for just Dragic.

[jdrocko]

how about Rozier instead of Smart?

Doesn't really matter, don't think Danny would care either

[nickagneta]

Too complex. Just trade for Vucevic with picks(like a 1st and multiple 2nds) and some expiring filler contracts. Problem is Vucevic doesn't make us contenders and he stops our ability to seek a max level free agent this year. Boston wont trade for him.

Why so many Millsap trade ideas lately? Was there something concrete linking the C's to him or just random stuff? There's like 5 Millsap trade idea threads.

We are giving up cap space. If we add Vucevic we will no longer have max cap space in free agency.

Marc Stein/Brian Windhorst wrote an article about how Atlanta would listen to offers on Millsap, Korver or Sefolosha.

Atlanta:

Incoming:  Jeff Green, Jerebko, Olynk

Outgoing: Millsap (Orl)

yeah, and every ATL fan commits suicide, after they burn down the city

Like I said, no one is gonna give ATL real assets

a) because Millsap will be an FA in 2018

b) Anyone trading for him won't know for sure that he will re-sign with them

dude is one of the top two way players in the league. Individually speaking, Green, Olyinik and Jerebko are each worth one 2nd rounder, so to get a top 30 player for 3 2nd rounders, not gonna happen in any world.

NO just signed another 7 foot center. That means they have four? Any of them worth trading for, Davis of course but he's never getting traded...

No.  There's a reason they had to sign another one, who failed his physical for a different team not even a month ago.
