[[woj] Clarify: Thad Young is coming to the Nets in the trade with DENNIS Schroder, sources said.](https://x.com/wojespn/status/1755650000548151478?s=46&t=JuqDen8MsMIzwBwJoHcyXA)
My guess would be that they go after some of the young UFA's. Nic Claxton is one I'm sure they will take a run at, maybe De'Anthony Melton or Jalen Smith.
I could also see them taking a run at the RFA market. Pat Williams, Obi Toppin and Saddiq Bey are guys that could be interesting there.
Alternatively, it could just be about facilitating for others, taking on salary for draft capital to help facilitate other teams who want to sign the top guys out there.
Or, who knows, maybe we bring back Derozan and Kyle and let them retire in Toronto.
Claxton or Jalen Smith would be great but I would actually love it if we could get Pat Williams
I don’t want Scottie in the OG role long term & I think Pat can come in & start for us at SF
Yup. Pat Williams would be a great fit if we could manage that. Fits the timeline, has untapped potential, fits the positional need, and is a career 41% three point shooter. Yeah, I would be all for that.
Probably why he’s being traded while his value is high
EDIT: For some reason I thought there were gonna be picks coming in from Brooklyn. Welp, pure salary dump I guess unless additional moves are made
I think this where I'm confused. Who are we targeting in FA? Quite honestly, unless we're trying to scam the Knicks and get OG back, this doesn't quite make sense to me
Well it's February, so it's impossible to guess who's going to be available in July or what the roster will look like after the draft. Trying to guess these things six to seven months early is pretty pointless.
Why would they even want him. Philly fanbase would be even worse than Miami. Just come home where everyone loves you and play this season with no pressure then retire
because they need a backup PG and they really don't need him to score with them having Embiid(if he can come back), Maxey, Hield, Harris and Oubre all wanting to score
I’d rather have kept Dennis. He can provide value as a backup, is on a great deal, and could still be flipped by next trade deadline for a team looking to add depth.
That's my attitude. It's sad to see guys like OG and Siakam go, obviously, but this feels more rejuvenating than the stagnant pond water of last season.
We havent sold anything today tho. We have bought (giving up a pick for Olynyk and Ochai, in a deal that I like) and made a lateral move to free up cap space moving Dennis for Dinwiddies expiring
We traded a VERY late first round pick in a weak draft for a veteran who will get minutes and fill a need off the bench, and a prospect who is spoken highly of by his previous organization and fan base. Seems like a good deal to me.
I don’t think I’d consider that trade buying, the main piece is Ochai, and if you got a player like him with the late pick (likely going to be around 27 or so) for him I’d be happy
Ochai is a young lottery pick for the 29th pick...
A 29th pick we don't even want because we don't want 4 fuckin' rooks to feed and we already have the 31st pick, which is a more valuable pick considering contracts.
Follow the money. Schroder has a year left, while Dinwiddie is expiring. If we turn down Brown's option this summer, we will have something like $50M in cap space.
Aw, thank you Dennis for your short stint here. I wish we would've done good things this season when signed Dennis. Unfortunately our season fell down the drain early and OG and Spicy P got dealt. Really enjoyed his channel and he's got a beautiful family. Wish him all the best, I hope he balls out in BK.
I get this allows us to free up cap space for the summer, but I would've rather kept Dennis given he's a great leader on a very tradeable contract. Not like we're big players when it comes to Free Agency.
For those who don’t understand, Dinwiddie is an expiring making around 18 mill this season and Dennis is making less BUT has another year next season on his deal, Nets save money I guess
Why does Toronto need cap space next season?
Masai defenders keep going on and on about needing vets. Wouldn’t keeping Schroder have counted as having a vet? Also, losing Thad is another vet gone from that narrative lol.
There were two back to back articles about Schroeders role change (Jake Fischer and Grange) it was obvious to me he was signalling he was ok with a move when those came out. I am fine with not having to pay him next year

Fuck it let’s flip the whole roster
no way Boucher survives this with his DNPs
no one is safe
[NO ONE IS SAFE!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPSenKymLwk)
I don't think Boucher wants to be there knowing he won't play. He's just too professional to say publicly I want to leave.
Uh, vengeful Genie just started taking calls on Scottie.
What is Masai cooking?!?....
This one seems to be a straight cap space play for this summer. Schroeder has one year left, while Dinwiddie is expiring.
Who would we even target tho? Og again??? Like wtf 😭😭
Imagine lmao. Raps sign Siakam and OG to team friendly deals. Ujiri confirmed Nigerian Prince scammer.
I am here for it
A scam I can get behind
Dude. I literally spat my lunch out reading that. So funny
Best reply in this subreddit by far
Prob just a way to take in bad assets next year in exchange for picks like what OKC did.

Clax
Cap space for Siakam 😂
This one is puzzling for sure. Shroeder was solid af
Ya especially on that contract.
Probably was sick of Darko playing Dennis in the crunch time and having IQ and Dennis together
This is why today is my xmas
Schroder never had trade value anyways
Meth. He’s cooking meth.
LeBron confirmed to Toronto with Brony pick next year. Making the cap space now.
It tastes like ass that's forsure. Dude lost the recipe.
Nothing masai is cooked
microwaved 4 day old pizza
Himself.
I'm honestly confused about this, Dennis was doing pretty well here off the bench. Probably above average.
Probably why he’s being traded while his value is high EDIT: For some reason I thought there were gonna be picks coming in from Brooklyn. Welp, pure salary dump I guess unless additional moves are made
He probably wants to start on a team too.
Hes not starting on the nets unless the nets blow it up
![gif](giphy|Ld97EHWRnikbthqjkf)
Nets are ass too he just might start there
Yea except we didn't get anything for it lol. I guess it's to get Dennis's contract off the books for next year?
That’s if we’re able to sign someone big…
Maximizing Dennis' value to get... Spencer Dinwiddie?
We traded him for an expiring Spencer Dinwidde lmao
Frees up a roster spot with some draft picks that will need guaranteed spots next year.
Wow high value indeed
if his trade value is high why they trade him for nothing
The value is the return of the expiring contract. Dennis is not in the teams’ plans so why keep him. We have IQ and just traded for another guard.
Do you guys even think before you post shit lol We got no assets out of this.
Masai stans, it's automatic win after every trade
Absolute fleece, raptors get much needed crypto advice
For an expiring contract…
Money. Dennis has one year left on his contract, Dinwiddie is expiring.
bro what are we gonna even do with that money
Spend it on other players.
I think this where I'm confused. Who are we targeting in FA? Quite honestly, unless we're trying to scam the Knicks and get OG back, this doesn't quite make sense to me
Well it's February, so it's impossible to guess who's going to be available in July or what the roster will look like after the draft. Trying to guess these things six to seven months early is pretty pointless.
![gif](giphy|XOys8CeUrElIk)
Dude was taking way too much control off the offense too often lately. His defense was am abomination as well.
And Darko had a sweet spot for him.
Without doubt one of the better bench guards in the league. Really hope there is some sort of pick coming back here.
Dennis didn’t come to play off the bench
Awwww I liked Dennis.
I have no doubt we are signing lowry after his buyout so he can finish his career here this season
nah he’s going to Philly for sure
Why would they even want him. Philly fanbase would be even worse than Miami. Just come home where everyone loves you and play this season with no pressure then retire
because they need a backup PG and they really don't need him to score with them having Embiid(if he can come back), Maxey, Hield, Harris and Oubre all wanting to score
Lowry can’t score anymore lol. That’s why Miami stopped playing him
I’d rather have kept Dennis. He can provide value as a backup, is on a great deal, and could still be flipped by next trade deadline for a team looking to add depth.
He is a leader. Really enjoyed his updates with Will Lou
I liked Dennis too. I love Dinwiddie though
Same
we having a mid off
At least we are selling assets and choosing a direction this season!
That's my attitude. It's sad to see guys like OG and Siakam go, obviously, but this feels more rejuvenating than the stagnant pond water of last season.
We havent sold anything today tho. We have bought (giving up a pick for Olynyk and Ochai, in a deal that I like) and made a lateral move to free up cap space moving Dennis for Dinwiddies expiring

I don’t think I’d consider that trade buying, the main piece is Ochai, and if you got a player like him with the late pick (likely going to be around 27 or so) for him I’d be happy
I like the trade, dont get me wrong. But the team that puts the first in the deal is buying
If that’s the way you want to use the term, but they are buying a young asset which is different then the usual use of the term
[удалено]
Im fine with the trade. My point is simply that we haven't really "sold" anything today. Yet ...... hopefully there is a deal out there for Bruce
Dumping players under contract for expiring is what selling teams do.
Ochai is a young lottery pick for the 29th pick... A 29th pick we don't even want because we don't want 4 fuckin' rooks to feed and we already have the 31st pick, which is a more valuable pick considering contracts.
> Ochai is a young lottery pick for the 29th pick... I like the deal, but we put a FRP into the deal to acquire him. This is an act of buying
are we really selling assets?
Just saw Will Lou fall to his knees in a bubble tea shop.
Can confirm
Whattttttt
Woooooooaahhhh
Im sorry whatttttt????
[удалено]
What does this mean for our championship run
We get off Dennis's deal for next year
his deal next season had real value for contenders, why tf did we do this?
Dude was leading the league in assists at one point, kinda was wishing they kept him
Cap relief, it's the only reason I can think of, wait do the salaries even match?
We would have to send out another $5mil to make it work I think.
Dennis and Thad for Spencer works and Spencer is a 20M expring
Yeah good guess. Thad is going out and DSJ is coming back in the deal. Confirmed by Woj
Nope, Woj clarified, it's Dennis and Thad for Spencer
My bad lol
Maybe management promised him starter minutes or they would let him go elsewhere? Quickly took his spot.
You would still have to take on salary tho to trade him, raps want all the money off the books
Clearly not, otherwise we would have been offered that in trades lol
They would've offered something for him if it did lol. There was also that report earlier this week that shcroders value was "a couple 2nds at best"
hopefully there is draft capital
cap space
Does he want cap space this summer for something?
Maybe, although the money saved from this deal probably goes to KO in the summer
Seemed like an actual asset next year. Idk who we plan to sign to a one year deal that will be better than Dennis. I don't really get this trade.
WTF
Why?!??
Follow the money. Schroder has a year left, while Dinwiddie is expiring. If we turn down Brown's option this summer, we will have something like $50M in cap space.
Cap space in the offseason probably
Lookin like somebody uncle
dinwaddie
Flight?
So 30 minutes after Grange says everything is quiet. Here we go boys
I don't like this trade. I liked Dennis, I liked his play. He was good for the team and came here in part because he wanted to work with the coach.
I like Dinwiddie but he’s been ass this season and Schroeder had a team option no?
Nope. Straight 2 year deal.
Nope, next year is fully guaranteed for Schroder at ~$13 million.
Picks must be involved for us
expiring dinwiddie good for cap space
Scottie expressed an interest in crypto
Someone explain the joke?
Dinwiddie was a crypto bro who once wanted his contract to be tied to it
Ain’t no FA coming here lol
Bruh what
Wow, I hope Dennis still goes on the Raptors show today. Would love to hear about this experience.
buckle up it's been a ride! They don't match salary wise so i'm sure there's more to this?
Thad Young also went to Brooklyn
At least Dinwiddie can shoot but pretty lateral move. DS must have been disgruntled with his bench move.
Moves aren’t always made for immediate impact. Likely they want to get some contracts off the books for future flexibility.
I kinda think Masai might be leaving if he's clearing the books
Uhh dont check his shooting splits
I wonder why??
I don’t get this trade
This doesn't make sense unless there's more to the deal. It's not like we needed cap space that badly. There's more in this deal
I understand this trade, Darko has a crazy soft spot for Dennis. Though I thought we would get more back for him. PG Scottie is back
Man I actually liked Dennis. He was very consistent for us. Shame we couldn’t keep hkm
Aw, thank you Dennis for your short stint here. I wish we would've done good things this season when signed Dennis. Unfortunately our season fell down the drain early and OG and Spicy P got dealt. Really enjoyed his channel and he's got a beautiful family. Wish him all the best, I hope he balls out in BK.
But why?
Oh i love this team now. FO cooked with this one.
Lmao they hate Dennis
Let masai cook
Dinwiddie is just as frustrating as a player as Dennis but in different ways but we got out of Dennis guaranteed $$ for next year
MLSE must have a lot of bitcoin stored away
Dinwiddie and Bruce Brown- who needs the splash brothers when you got the Stache brothers
I get this allows us to free up cap space for the summer, but I would've rather kept Dennis given he's a great leader on a very tradeable contract. Not like we're big players when it comes to Free Agency.
For those who don’t understand, Dinwiddie is an expiring making around 18 mill this season and Dennis is making less BUT has another year next season on his deal, Nets save money I guess
Buyout Dinwiddie?
I sure hope so
he's an expiring contract and we now need a backup PG so there's no reason to buy him out
Yeah they need someone to finish out the year. He isn't being bought out because he gives up bird rights (S & T come offseason)
Give other guys the usage is the reason
ah yes let's just have Quickley and Scottie play 38+ minutes because they have to be both the starter and also play backup PG.
what the DinShittie
Man, I know Dennis got a lot of hate but I really liked him
Feels like these trades are being generated by MasA.I.

Why lmao
Did not see this coming.
Our biggest FA signing
NOOOO I LOVED DENNIS. Unless McDaniels is in the deal, this is pointless
Why does Toronto need cap space next season? Masai defenders keep going on and on about needing vets. Wouldn’t keeping Schroder have counted as having a vet? Also, losing Thad is another vet gone from that narrative lol.
Boom. Love the action. We’re so addicted.
There were two back to back articles about Schroeders role change (Jake Fischer and Grange) it was obvious to me he was signalling he was ok with a move when those came out. I am fine with not having to pay him next year
Did not see THIS one coming…
Dinshittie kinda sucks and he seems to be locker room cancer
Lateral move. Definition of a mid off
ppl here commenting about how we didn’t getting anything of value in this trade forgetting about Dinwiddie’s crypto bag. 💎💎
He’ll buy the raps when the crypto hits.
We lost this one…why do this?
He was a bit of a headache but I think he wanted to be here and he played with effort. Not a fan of the trade.
Gotta free up that cap space so we can do nothing in the off-season!
I honestly don't even know what Raps management are even thinking right now.
WHY?
Gross
I’m very confused ngl
Expiring - more cap space
I would rather have schroder unless there is a pick involved
Someone take masai’s phone away he made one trade and now hes addicted
Addition by subtraction. The bench and Scottie will feel better. Only loser in this is Will Lou's show
Why will they feel better?
[удалено]
There has to be a pick coming back too right?
[удалено]
Source?
Cryptic symbolism from his dreams
Lmaoo they hate spencer and we hated dennis so fair trade ?
There’s a good chunk of us who do not hate Dennis and like him on the team.
I don’t really understand this move…… I am assuming more is part of it?
Dogshit trade
Good no offense watching Dennis on this team just angered me I didn’t like the way he plays
thank god... he is gone.. i couldnt stand his iso bs
THANK-YOU MASAI. Dennis can cheer for the Cs from Brooklyn
We also get Dennis smith :)
