OT Predict the next star to (demand to) be traded

[Rastapopoulos]

And Eric Bledsoe doesn't count, because he's not a star.

 

[dviss1]

Anthony Davis.

 

[andalusian]

Boogie is more likely than Davis imho.

 

[Natebishop3]

I think one of the big three in OKC.

I think they're going to struggle. This isn't a Boston situation where they still had some young talent to play around Garnett/Allen/Pierce. That team is virtually devoid of talent outside of George/Anthony/RW and Steven Adams. Boston still had Tony Allen, Glen Davis, Kendrick Perkins, James Posey, and Rajon Rondo. The Thunder have Raymond Felton, Andre Roberson, and Nick Collison. That's it. That's basically the rest of their team.

Davis has been in that dumpster fire for longer.

 

[andalusian]

Davis has been in that dumpster fire for longer.

Sure, but it is too early in his contract for the Pelicans to give up unless he revolts - which does not seem like he has so far.

 

[Mr. Robot]

Jusuf Nurkic

 

[Natebishop3]

As much as I'd love to get Davis, he seems like such a quiet dude. Not the kind of guy to request a trade.

Also, we simply don't have the ammo to make a move on him. I still think the Celtics have more to offer, if he were to become available. We'd have to offer up CJ/Nurk/and a pick to even be competitive.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I'd say Eric, but he's not a star anymore.

I'll go with either Jones or Lotulelei

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Anthony Davis.

You wish. Actually, we all wish.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

BOBAN MARJANOVIC!!!!!!!!

 

[andalusian]

BOBAN MARJANOVIC!!!!!!!!

He is much bigger than a Star. A White Dwarf maybe.

More of a troll.

You are going fantasy when I went scientific. Tsk Tsk.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Has he improved his trade value over the scraps they gave up for him, though? (He's actually got a better +/- than Davis right now.)

Fantasy? Look at this documentary footage:

So far they are losing. They need better guards / wings. IMHO a team with a good defensive center next to Davis and good guards/wings is better than Boogie/Davis and their current spare parts. If they get one good guard, a Rolo like center and an upgrade at the wing - they will be in a better place. Will they be able to get this kind of return for Boogie? I do not know.

Yes but this is the white dwarf he was referring to:

 

[Natebishop3]

I know he doesn't qualify as a star, but I want Dario Saric. He's buried on a Sixers team with a million other young wings. I think he would thrive here. He's a 6'10 SF, only 23 years old. He has had 4 mediocre games this season, but he exploded for 26 points and 9 boards against the Nets. I would love to pry that guy away from Philly. Obviously Covington would be great, but he's a free agent this summer and I doubt they'd trade him, and if they did, I don't think we could afford to keep him.

Would you do this?

What could we offer that they would want? They need Guards.

 

[BigGameDamian]

I'm going to go with Bradley Beal or Marc Gasol on this one.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Damian Lillard !

 

[SportsAndWhine]

Shabazz and Dario make almost exactly the same amount.

 

[Natebishop3]

What could we offer that they would want? They need Guards.

As far as I can tell, they don't have a decent young power forward.

Could make the trade in December when Amir Johnson is tradeable.

 

[Chris Craig]

Jusuf Nurkic

Banned!

 

[Chris Craig]

Kevin Durant

 

[andalusian]

Would you do this?

No.

 

[trailblazer18]

Would you do this?

For AD sure, but not for Cousins.
