What do you think appropriate trade value would be for these players?

Without searching for who the players are (otherwise, you ruin the lesson here), although you probably have a good idea of who one of the players are, answer these questions:

 

In your opinion:

1) Which player would you rather have in a trade?

2) What do you think fair value would be in trading for them?  Obviously, you can't gauge a player for player deal, so we're talking strictly draft picks and/or cash considerations.

EDIT: To help make the decision easier, know that both play the same position (wing players).

GO:

Player A:

Age: 30

Player B:

Age: 28

Once we get enough discussion on this hypothetical, I will reveal the players and the significance of this thread.  If you spoil it, your post will be deleted and you will receive a warning, so play nice.

Player A - older but slightly better FG% and creates more in APG

Player B - still young and a better FT shooter but not as efficient from the floor

these are minor discrepancies but you always go with the younger player = Player B, he's a solid shooter but TBH i need more info to give up anything more than a early 2nd rounder for him..

The production is very similar. Too similar to make a read on it because there are way too many variables to even answer #1: What position do they play?, Do they fit our scheme?, Injury concerns? Salary?, etc.

As far as #2: I'd offer similar trades as their production isn't far off. The value seems similar. (But then again, if there's something glaring in #1 that sets them apart, then it could change my mind a bit).

Well, this didn't garner the participation I was expecting, lol.  Regardless, it may ultimately be irrelevant anyway, but, here you go...

Player A is Marco Belinelli.

Player B is Jodie Meeks. 

We traded this year's 22nd overall pick for Belinelli.

The Magic just acquired Meeks for a 2019 second rounder, lol.

Both guys are making 6M and change on contracts that both have two years left on them.

This is why I really disliked the trade as it stands because we gave up way too much as-is.  BUT, as I said here, it may be irrelevant.  The guys over at HP for the most part are convinced that there is more to the deal than we currently know.  One guy, who has offered up some inside info before and bet his account on Batum re-signing within 24 hours last night, has said he's been told the deal was made with the intention of Belinelli never playing a game for us.  I'm really hoping Cho works his trade magic for a piece none of us see coming.  Some of the speculation among fans I've seen has suggested that it may ultimately involve the same teams we worked the Stephen Jackson draft day trade with a few years back - SAC and MIL - with us getting someone like WCS or Monroe.  I'd be ecstatic with this...  And I'm definitely hoping for something along these lines, because otherwise, as this thread illustrates, we would really have done ourselves a disservice if we traded 22 for Belinelli straight up.

...and they both can't play defense. To be honest, the trade was very similar.

Also, the Magic had way more flexibility in their cap space. They could afford to take on someone without sending salary out.

I agree that there's more to this Belinelli trade. I think we are going to be heavily involved in the trade department.

    • This was a good breakdown from Daniels.  Last year has had a lasting impact on Young. He still isn't getting the time needed from the OL - the OL we have is made to establish the run and for the run to be in play.  We get behind and have to throw all game we are doomed with this O-line. His receivers have to catch the ball when he makes a good throw to them, he can't have them dropping his good passes. Why are we running 4 slants all toward the same direction?  Why a triple option on 4th and 1? That's on the coaches. Bryce gets hurried and starts slinging the ball where it shouldn't be thrown, more study and recognition from him are needed.  Bryce doesn't step up in the pocket and throws too soon and unbalanced.  He over and under throws the ball because of it.  That's on him.  If the pocket isn't there and he can't get his base set he needs to check down or "live to fight another day." He has been thrown to the wolves and has lost his confidence.  This team doesn't have much, if any, talent and it's a cluster.  I think he can still be an NFL QB.  Maybe not a QB1 in the short term, but if he has a chance with better coaching and personnel he may be better than we are giving him credit for. I think we ruined him last year and have not fixed anything to help him this year.  If we can't run or get way behind all NFL defenses are coming after him.  Dalton has more respect and defenses didn't always sell out to get to him because he'd hit a quick slant, screen, or check down because he has the experience to know what's coming and what to do. Just my 2 cents.
    • All depends on who the backup is. Josh Allen probably would have been benched too if there were better backups than Matt Barkley and Nate peterman.
    • Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
