Trade Ideas Thread

I got knocked out for you as long as Olshey is the GM CJ will not go anywhere same as Dame.

 

The main cog is Bamba -- Fornier is a stable/capable stopgap at SG.

 

Fournier is a worse defender than CJ and leonard for the next 3 years. Itd need to be a three team trade where we get expirings.

 

I always enjoy the grass is greener on the other side mentality in this forum. That is until we move to the other side and find out, it's really not.

 

I see that Houston is trying to find some wing help and is offering Brandon Knight and a 1st round pick but they aren't finding any takers. I've been trying to come up with some sort of deal with them or 3 team scenarios but unfortunately I'm not having a lot of luck unless they think Harkless could be a bit of an Ariza-lite type player.

How about this:

Rockets get Maurice Harkless and Justin Holiday

Bulls get Evan Turner, Brandon Knight, Meyers Leonard, Houston 2019 1st round pick, and Blazers 2019 1st round pick

Blazers get Jabari Parker and Robin Lopez (Adding Melo works too)

Who says no? Is two 1st rounders enough for the Bulls to take on all that salary? Would/should the Blazers make this big of a move?

 

I do. Dont help Houstin, F that. Dont make a move that makes us worse right now. We can dump all that salary in the off-season if we can actually sign someone.

 

Would you help them if we got a 1st out of it? Having two picks in the late teens or early twenties could allow us to get up into the late lottery like in 2017. If CP3 is out awhile they probably won't shoot up the standings like people are waiting for them to do.

 

I guess but meh.

 

If the Clippers are out of playoff positioning in the next couple months:

POR Gets: Tobias Harris, Danillo Gallinari, Mike Muscala
LAC Gets: Wilson Chandler, J.J. Redick, 2019 POR 1st, 2021 MIA 1st
PHI Gets: C.J. McCollum, Meyers Leonard
-----
POR Trades: C.J. McCollum, Meyers Leonard, 2019 POR 1st
POR Gets: Tobias Harris, Danillo Gallinari, Mike Muscala
- Portland upgrades it's lineup and fit, as I think Tobias is better than C.J. at this stage. Gallinari would expire at the same time as Turner and Harkless in 2020.

LAC Trades: Tobias Harris, Danillo Gallinari
LAC Gets: Wilson Chandler, J.J. Redick, 2019 POR 1st, 2021 MIA 1st
- The Clippers shed an additional $22M for their 2019 off-season by trading Gallo for expirings, and get two picks for Harris.

PHI Trades: Wilson Chandler, J.J. Redick, Mike Muscala, 2021 MIA 1st
PHI Gets: C.J. McCollum, Meyers Leonard
- Philadelphia gets the star guard they might want, while only giving up expiring role players and a single 1st round pick.

Who do you think this is a good trade for? Bad trade?

 

I think it's too good for Philly. And I don't like the roster imbalance it does to our team, minus a follow up deal or 2.

Lillard/Curry
Stauskus/Turner
Harris/Harkless
Aminu/Gallinari
Nurk/Collins

I think Harris and Gallinari are both better off in the stretch 4 role than as SFs, personally. I think you can get away with them at the 3. Just that it's not ideal. Just not a huge fan of the guard rotation. I think I'd try to explore a deal for one of the guys from the Clippers, instead of moving CJ for both of them.

 

Yeah there'd be a follow up somewhere. I don't like Harris playing the 3. Preferably we'd flip Aminu for a solid 2-guard. Maybe hit up Dallas and try to get Matthews for Harkless and Aminu.

Lillard / Turner
Matthews / Curry
Gallinari / ?
Harris / Collins
Nurkic / Collins

 

Or you could make it a 4-team trade:

POR Gets: Tobias Harris, Wesley Matthews, Mike Muscala
LAC Gets: Wilson Chandler J.J. Redick, 2019 POR 1st, 2021 MIA 1st
PHI Gets: C.J. McCollum, Meyers Leonard
DAL Gets: Danillo Gallinari, 2019 PHI 1st

Lillard / Turner
Matthews / Curry
Harkless / Stauskas
Harris / Muscala
Nurkic / Collins

 

That still seems like philly getting McCollum awfully cheap

 

What team do you think isnt getting enough?

 

I'm pretty sure Tobias is untouchable right now, sure Gallo they would trade away,but Tobias no. They have their two FA slots and want Tobias to be the third option. It also helps to attract good players if you have at least one good player.

 

The grass has been green there for awhile. Not so much in many other NBA cities.

Leonard and Turner for Parsons and a 2019 2nd?
