Trade Ideas Thread

I think Boston is a team that would love to have a player like Aminu.

 

You say that like Minnesota would do it, why would they?

 

POR Gets: Trevor Ariza, Troy Daniels (TPE)
PHX Gets: Meyers Leonard, Wade Baldwin IV. Right to Swap 2021 - MIL 1st w/ POR 1st (w/ protection?)

Cut Troy Daniels, Sign Tyler Zeller.

 

You do this after a Porter trade falls through.

 

Yup. Could clear the Full MLE for next off-season as well.

 

Cleveland said to be willing to take on longer term salary for assets.

Hill and Korver for Leonard, Turner, 1st?

 

Hill's contract is very desirable. Think they'd want more.

 

I kind of think they’re more likely to trade beal instead of OPJ.

 

But is it as desirable as Raef Lafrentz's contract? Or Festus Ezeli's?

 

Would you do that if they wanted Trent too?

 

A couple of important dates coming up:

December 7th: Any player traded for after that day is ineligible to be traded again this season when combined with other players.

December 15th: Most (not all) free agents signed over the summer become eligible to be traded.

 

Is this new? Seems weird.

 

When you trade for a player his salary can't be combined with other contracts for 60 days. You can trade him by himself again at any time. That's been the rule for awhile.

 

Huh. Okay. Seems less weird when put this way (60 days), than "for the rest of the season". I guess the TD comes within 60 days of 12/7, making it same same.

 

I do think they will eventually trade him as his fit really is at the 3 and Tatum has that locked up.

 

Korver to Utah for Burks and seconds per woj. That was quick.

 

Kyle Korver and a protected 1st for Markelle Fultz?

Portland can beat that deal and bring him back to the PNW where maybe being closer to home will help him reset.

 

How about this:

Blazers get Tristan Thompson and Otto Porter JR while taking on a decent chunk of salary. This move gives us a better lineup and a more stable rotation. The only thing I don't know about is the current situation if Vulcan would be willing to take on the salary.

Cavs save over $15 million the next two years by taking Meyers and getting rid of Thompson.

Wizards get out of Porter's contract with a year shorter and much less expensive Turner and an expiring Aminu plus get Swanigan for needed big man depth. We may need to include a pick and/or get Cleveland to send one their way too.

Dame, CJ, Harkless, Porter, Nurk

Curry, Stauskas, Layman, Collins, Thompson

Baldwin, Simons, Trent, 2 open roster spots (Get Melo and Zeller?)

 

I'm obviously sick of watching certain players and think we need a shakeup. How about...

Turner, Aminu, and Swanigan for RoLo, Felicio, and Portis?

Harkless, Leonard, and Trent (or a protected 1st) for Porter?

Dame, CJ, Porter, Portis, Nurk

Curry, Stauskas, Layman, Collins, RoLo

Baldwin, Simons, Felicio, 2 open roster spots

 

Wonder if Phoenix would entertain offers for Josh Jackson. He’s been a disappointment so far so it’s a risk, but he also flashes enough to buy into an untapped ceiling. At his best he’s a two way role player with an unselfish game. An Iguodala lite. It’d pretty much be an Olshey special. Suns have Bridges, while Warren has taken a jump and also has an affordable contract. They may be open to moving on, he has no attachment to the new regime, and it would save the Suns over $25 million.

How about Aminu and a pick?

Dame
CJ
Jackson
Collins
Nurkic

Stauskas
Curry/Trent/Layman
Turner
Harkless
Leonard
