BKE Season 2 Episode 19 - NBA Trade Deadline Talk with HoopsHype’s Salary Cap Expert Yossi Golzan

Joe Yolk (@joeylandolfa) is joined by Yossi Golzan (@yossigozlan) of hoopsHype and USA today's Sports Wire Media Group. Joe starts with a 90 second Knicks-Magic recap before getting into the deadline talk.

Yossi first explains why a team would trade another team something for nothing, explaining the Heat-Spurs trade and how a trade exemption is useful for a team within 1 year of the trade date.

Joe follows that up with asking Yossi who he would be more concerned with making a deal with, Danny Ainge or Masai Ujiri. The correct answer for all teams not named the Knicks is Danny Ainge, but with the Carmelo Anthony and Andrea Bargnani deals of Ujiri’s past, the answer for New York fans isn’t as clear.

They then get into the potential deals that exist for New York, namely the Michael Scotto reported deal with Utah involving Obi Toppin and Evan Fournier for Jarred Vanderbilt and Malik Beasley. Yossi gives his insight on whether it makes sense for the Knicks (it doesn’t) and questions why New York would give draft capital for role players. They follow that up with the Ian Begley reports about Cam Reddish potentially being dealt to either the Nuggets or Pistons, and who or what the Knicks could receive in return.

They finish up with discussing what the Raptors Fred VanVleet, Gary Trent Jr., Pascal Siakim, and OG Anunoby’s trade values would be in terms of draft compensation.
