LOL. I'm just ridiculing scenarios left and right. Who's gonna do our dirty work with both of our junkyard dogs gone?
Good point. Still, thread said "crazy". Legit question though--what would you offer for Paul George (assuming that he'll most likely play like an all-star, perhaps key a deep playoff run, but then leave in the summer)?
Any non-big3 and non-rookie, but they'd have to take one of either Biebs or ET, and they can't have both Ed and Vonleh.
I don't think so (PG makes $$$), but I don't mind. He's leaving them IMHO. I don't think they'll trade him, but they should.
We need a beast for about 20 minutes a game. Jordan coming off the bench for Nurkic and playing PF at times as a twin tower approach would do just that. And he extends his career by playing less minutes. PS: if Nurkic gets hurt right now - we are toast. Lou Williams is instant scoring off our bench; we don’t have a pure shooter on our bench! Evan Turner? Not But my trade proposal does something much bigger: - Harkness (what a waste at $10 mil/year) - Leonard (what a waste. Period) - David (gone in a year anyway) And I’d rather be in a position of trading away Jordan next Summer than Harkless, Leonard or Davis
I'm not going to give a scenario, but I'm all about asset acquisition that we could trade down the road. The leadership of Lillard has paid off huge with Nurkic. This floundering prospect needs a change of culture and scenery. I can see him as instant offense off the bench, the same way OKC utilized Kanter. I know his skillset isn't ideal for this era, but he is a legit post-scoring big. The polar opposite to Vonleh. To Portland: Jahlil Okafor To Philly: ? To Portland: Mario Hezonja To Orlando: ?
I like Harkless for Alec Burks, given how bad Hark is playing we may need to add something, perhaps a 2nd rdr is enough. I'm willing to take a chance on this oft injured player, he has one yr less than Hark on his contract which are similar $$$ wise
Didn't those teams choose not to retain their rights? Or is it just that they didn't offer them an extension? I don't want to trade for a player without RFA status.
