Trade Ideas Thread

Nope, doesn't work under the CBA. Why don't you run any of your brilliant ideas through the ESPN trade machine before posting?

 

I'd love that.

 

Ever have this? It's GOOD.

 

I haven't had the pleasure, but I am always game for trying something new!

 

It didn't make anyone mad. You got knowledgeable, honest feedback on it, and didn't like it, so now now you're sitting here saying "Blow it up! Blow it up!". You're also sitting here trolling, talking trash about trade ideas while admitting you don't care about the logic of them and you're "experimenting" with us.. What's the issue dude? You need to chill.

 

Ok Remember every this is thread is "trade ideas", not necessarily, "good trade ideas".

Orlando gets - CJ McCollum + #24
Portland gets - Evan Fournier and Johnathan Simmons +#35

 

I will entertain y'all with a "Blow it up" plan, in the spirit of LS.

First:
POR Gets: 17th Pick, Snell/Delly
MIL Gets: 24th Pick

CLE Gets: CJ McCollum, Al-Farouq Aminu, Moe Harkless, Ben McLemore, Dillon Brooks*
MEM Gets: 8th Pick, Kevin Love, JR Smith, Cedi Osman*, Jake Layman*
POR Gets: 4th Pick, 10th Pick, Chandler Parsons, George Hill, Jerryd Bayless,
PHI Gets: 17th Pick, Future 2nds

Cleveland saves apx. $13M, which is much more of you include tax. Gets an elite scorer and versatile defenders to enhance switchability to match up with GS. Plus, a young scorer off the bench..
Memphis ain't blowing it up, so moving Parsons, moving down only 4 spots, and getting back a great fit and an all-star? Great deal for them.
Philadelphia sheds salary.
Portland matches up a bunch of bad salary to expire in 2020, gets two top 10 picks in a top loaded draft. Could give MEM 10th and take 8th.

Draft Bagley, Bamba, or Jackson 4th, Bridges 10th. Resign our bigs.


Lillard / Hill
Bridges / Hill
Parsons / Turner
Collins / Rookie big
Nurkic / Davis

Shop Nurkic once we can, add go into 2020 free agency with Lillard, Bridges, Collins, and Bamba/Jackson/Bagley. We'd have apx. $60M in cap space to add to a solid core.

 

Fournier is somehow a worse defender than CJ.

 

Personally I wouldn't trade CJ for that little in return and give up our pick in the process. I'd probably do it if it was for the #6 pick instead of the #35 pick though.

 

Probably right, Simmons did look good for pop.

 

I think you are vastly overrating him based on a couple random good games for the Spurs. He averaged 6 points per game in his last season with the Spurs. If he was any good why would Pop not match a 3 year, $18 million contract?

 

I didn’t say he looked like Kawhi.

 

I'm proud of this one..

Who says no?
POR Gets: #10, Kenneth Faried*, Jerryd Bayless, Small PHI Salaries
DEN Gets: #20, Cole Aldrich**,
PHI Gets: #14, Future POR/MIN 2nds, Cash
MIN Gets: #26, Al-Farouq Aminu,
*TPE
**Aldrich $2M gaurunteed next year, Must waive by June 20th (Deal could be done a couple days before the draft)

Denver moves down 6 spots to shed Faried
Philadelphia moves down 4 spots and trades #26 to shed Bayless and other salary
Minnesota moves down 6 spots to add a 3-and-D PF.

 

down 6 spots to add a 3-and

this an interesting proposal

 

Bouncing off of this:

POR Gets: #4, Chandler Parsons, George Hill, Tristan Thompson, Jarrell Martin
MEM Gets: #8, Kevin Love, Evan Turner,
CLE Gets: #24, C.J. McCollum, Moe Harkless, JaMychal Green
*CLE saves $16.3M

And then shop Tristan Thomson for a simarly bad contract, cuz screw that dude... here's what I would do.

NYK Gets: #10, Tristan Thompson, Meyers Leonard
POR Gets: #9, Joakim Noah, Courtney Lee

Wed send out: #24, McCollum, Harkless, Turner, Aminu and Leonard

We'd get back: #4, #9, Hill, Lee, Parsons, Noah, Faried, Bayless, Martin

Lillard / Hill / Bayless
Lee / Hill
Parsons / ?
Collins / ? / Faried
Nurkic / Davis / Noah

That's a pretty solid squad still, and add the 4th and 9th picks, and we'd be in business. Hill ($19M), Faried ($13.5M), and Bayless ($8.5M) would expire after this year, bringing our huge cap number back down to earth ($31M between those 3). Parsons ($23M), Noah ($18M), and Lee ($13M), would expire the year after ($54M between those 3).
That's be $85M coming off the books in the next two years.

Lets say we took Doncic 4th amd Bridges 9th.. in 2020, we'd be left with a lineup of
PG Dame ($31.6M)
SG Doncic ($6M)
SF Bridges ($3.8M)
PF Collins ($5.4M)
C Nurkic ($16.2M?)
Total salary: $63M.

Assuming the cap is at $110M, we'd have around $45M to play with to add to an already promising, young lineup that could be on the verge of competing. We could even trade Nurkic before then depending on if we draft a big man or not, and that would give us $60M+.

If we "Blow it up", I'm keeping Dame, and in not settling for anything less than this.

 

You sure?



And that’s not even taking into account the money Portland would take on.

 

Okay, now give me the list of 15th overall picks...
