Trade Ideas Thread

No Love is not someone you can count on being healthy for large parts of seasons and his contract is terrible. He is owed 90 million over the next three years. Talk about a anchor contract. They better be giving multiple first round pics to take on that bloated contract for a injury plagued player.

 

The Nets won't be on board

 

He does have championship experience and would fit in well with next to Nurk.

 

Anything involving Love makes no sense. Our weakness may be the four, but it’s also defense.

btw everyone can stop fantasizing about trading CJ. Shit ain’t happening while Olshey is the GM.

I think Olshey hires a defensive coach to help Stotts and runs it back next year. Remember, Ariza, Nurk, and Collins have played a combined 0 minutes together.

 

Great, no changes but a draft pick and praying we retain Melo+Whiteside and Hood to recover... One year older as a team, one less year of Dame’s prime.

 

Dame
CJ
Ariza
Collins
Nurk
Trent
Melo
Hood

That’s eight deep, and it’s not counting guys I expect to take a jump next year in Little and Gabriel, or guys they’ll add in free agency. They really aren’t that far off, they just need to stay relatively healthy, just like any other team. Can’t be missing multiple starters and expect to beat the best teams.

 

Still far too weak at 3/4. Same story different season.

 

Melo could make more elsewhere I would imagine. Perhaps he likes it here but who knows. Hassan is gone most likely. Need to see major growth from Little, Simons, and Gabriel.

 

So, we will be getting back a solid, average vet, a guy coming off a very serious injury, and a guy who has yet to prove he is even an average starter. That helps the depth, but we also need an upgrade in quality.

 

You probably said the same about Carmelo before he came here.

 

nah, I was team Melo. He also doesnt cost $30m a year.

 

Many weaknesses and question marks. How will Hood return, Ariza-Melo 36 years old, will Nurk stay healthy, will Zach stay on the court and improve a lot to warrant starting PF. Will we find decent backup guard and C with our cap situation?

 

SF- Ariza, Hood, Little, Trent, possibly Gabriel. Looks fine to me. The four needs help, but they’ll have flexibility in free agency.

 

Love has missed a quarter of a season in each of the last 3 full seasons. Carmelo wasn't signed, but I am guessing part of that was he was waiting for the right spot. Do you really want to pay 30+ million for a player who you can only count on for a maximum of .75 % of a season?

 

That’s not a good SF lineup lol Trent is the only good player there (hood is a big ? Rn) and he’s a natural 2. Ariza is older and honestly works better as a stretch 4 or backup 3, he isn’t a playoff starter anymore. Which shows where we are at and haven’t changed since Harkless/Aminu.

 

Wes Matthews was as hard of a worker as ever wore the red&black. He has never fully recovered from his achilles injury and his first year back was particularly a struggle. Hood, who wasn't as good as Wes to begin with, is going to bounce back in half the time with no loss in his game? Talk about a leap of faith!

 

Number I don't see a lot of GM would want CJ. He not two way player plus his age and his contract. He might talk that he is team player but you don't see that on the court. He has tunnel vision when he has the ball in hands and very little makes everyone around him better he just not that type player.

 

So the 5th pick couldn't spark your interest?

 

Olshey needs to add depth through the draft or by trade or FA. But the depth have to be quality depth that's mean players that can be at least your 8-11 guys that you can count on. To me Simons Gabriel and Little hasn't show enough consistently on the court to be in that 8-11. Yes all 3 could jump up and get there with a good off season but they aren't there yet. Just my opinion.
