Trade Idea Post and Discuss Trade Ideas for the 2019-20 Season

refresh my memory on this, but after the 1st of the year, how often to trades happen outside of that final week before the deadline?

IIRC, they are pretty rare, but that last week can be crazy, especially the last 3 days. I wonder if it will change much without the all-star break being before the deadline now

 

From what I've read from Boston reporters, they aren't trading Hayward and despite what it looks like from the outside they're actually happy with their bigs this year.

This is the kind of move I think the Blazers are hoping for though (without Kanter lol). Maybe Boston changes their mind? The only question mark from Portland in a deal like this is what happens if Hayward opts out this summer and leaves? Hopefully that wouldn't happen.

 

The most logical trade partner for Memphis is Dallas. They have Courtney Lee's expiring saving the Grizzlies a few million dollars and GS's 2nd rounder this year which will be in the 30's.

 

Depending on the specifics of the deal...probably not a huge deal if he does opt out. We'd be losing whiteside anyways, so itd be expiring for expiring in that case.
Thiugh, with the lack of free agency $$ this offseason, and more the next, I'd think he might opt in and try his luck on 2021 perhaps.

 

Just get Glenn Robinson mane. Start the recruitment early. A lot easier to sell a guy on the culture after he’s experienced it.

 

If they keep losing though, doesn't make the sale harder?

 

Is this also the ten day contract thread? Because it looks like Mika is headed to the raptors.

 

Great! So he can kill the Blazers tomorrow while people just excuse it as him being more talented than anyone on the Blazers.

 

I like how we STILL don’t have another center on the roster.

 

maybe the Blazer front office has essentially given up on this season and is working a subtle tank job. If so, they need to send a memo to Stotts; Dame played 42 minutes last night....yeeeeeh

 

What's funny is I had all but jumped off the trade for Griffin train, but this actually makes me want to trade for him, ha ha. Especially if we don't have to throw in a single asset. Heck, Detroit might even need to throw in something to get a team to take him.


The Blazers can also add our 2020 2nd round pick since it won't be 56-60, but that trade machine doesn't let me add it. That will probably be a pick in the lower half of the 2nd round. I'd probably still do it even if we had to throw in a lottery protected 1st (maybe 2021?). With Griffin out we'd for sure miss the playoffs and get a lottery pick.

Next year:

Guards: Dame, CJ, Rose, Simons

Wings: Covington, Hood?, Little, Hezonja?

Bigs: Nurk, Griffin, Collins, Skal?

Draft BPA, sign a wing with the MLE, and add maybe a cheap vet min big for depth. Super risky for sure but that's a pretty talented team IF healthy plus if they hit on the lottery pick (Obi Toppin?) and pick up a serviceable wing (Harkless? Marvin Williams? E'Twaun Moore? CJ Miles? Crowder? Glenn Robinson?) in free agency that team could be super good. The problem is it would be just as likely that it would turn out like this year and the tax would be super high!

 

Are there people that think Kuzma is better than Bogdanovic? Clearly the Kings do according to this tweet

 

It’s not necessarily that Sacramento thinks Kuzma is better, they just might not want to pay Bogdanovic.

 

They both have flaws but I'd take Bogdanovic over Kuzma if I had to pick one. Kuzma is a bad shooter, doesn't play defense, is not a good rebounder, and doesn't pass yet people think he's a star. I don't get it other than him playing in LA?

 

I understand that, but Stein says for starters. If they include more assets for Kuzma it is crazy. Just let Bogdan walk.

 

Kings gonna King

 

May as well make this the free agency thread.

Anyone down for a little demarcus cousins this summer?

 

Hey Neil, wake up.

 

No, but just so I'm clear you don't want to trade Whiteside but also want to sign Cousins this summer?
