Trade Ideas Thread

A little fly on the wall (who has been pretty good with info over the years) mentioned he'd heard rumblings from a team back East. Then went over scenarios in how he thought it might work. I wasn't a fan of it, but could see how it might happen. Someone on here had at least something similar as a proposal.

Will try and talk to him and a couple other people today to see if there are any more details, or to confirm if anyone else has heard something similar.

 

CJ plus Ariza to Philly, Tobias Harris to NO, Holiday plus Richardson to Portland.

 

is tomorrow the opening of trade season?

 

Well, don't want to aift through all the past pages, to see where someone was close, so will just wait on the update and start speculation.

East holds picks 3 through 9 currently, so a lot to choose from in move up scenarios.

Atlanta has seen a lot of rumors about their pick, and people trying to get there, as well as them wanting to move back. Seems like a big jump from 16 to 6.

Detroit has been said to be willing to add bad contracts for assets, so unsure on a 16 to 7 jump.

Similar with the Knicks. If there was a way we helped facilitate a bigger deal, maybe, with them landing paul or Westbrook.

Washington at 9 is the closest within reach jump wise.

 

Link?

 

That's just my idea. Someone suggested a third team would be needed to get Holiday.

 

It is that type of thinking as to where the 'fly' had his musings and a further phone call went into more detail. It is really a compilation of a number of speculations, facts which happen to fit the theory, and then extrapilation. Seems like more wishful thinking than anything, however, there are parts of it which are farely compelling.

I left a message with @BonesJones to see if he would going to do a Pre-Draft show and hopefully by then, a little more of this could be verified or at least fleshed out.

 

You left a message? Where at? I must've missed it.

 

We'll be streaming live Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday night starting around 9PM PT over on our streaming channel (Blazers Uprise Live).

We'll be streaming all 60 picks on Wednesday and the 1st day of Free Agency on Friday on our main channel (Blazers Uprise).

For anyone who's interested, we've been posting draft Profiles over on our new NBA channel (NBA Uprise).

We'll also have a website relaunch with written content here shortly!

 

Say Neil takes Maxey/Scrubb — Simons for Tillman

 

Nasir for Bamba.

Project for Project.

Orlando is notorious for poor development of their youngsters.

 

Very good. For the first time in my life, I will miss the draft due to prior commitments made before everything was delayed/postponed. Trying to pack in as much as possible before and will have to catch up after.

@BonesJones ....I PM'd you.

 

Who tf would Neil be targeting in a trade up? I bet if he could have anyone in this class it’s Haliburton.

 

Who said that he’s trying to trade up?

 

I think the only guy in this draft that would be in our rotation this season would be Obi Toppin. I actually think Toppin could beat out Zach for the starting PF spot. Obviously we would have to trade up to like number 4 but Haliburton is in that same range.

 

Not Nassir...

 

So what do you all think about the Harden trade? Headed to Brooklyn for Lavert/Dinwiddie/Allen/picks. Good trade for both teams and Harden can go back to being a secondary player which is where he's had his most success (i.e. reaching NBA Finals).

 

Unlikely to happen, IMO.

 

WTH? Lakers may be getting Dennis Schroder for the 28th pick (plus a player I guess). I have always thought this guy would be a great 3rd guard for Blazers. .534 efg% last year. Seems like very intense defender. Doesn't solve our height problems at guard, but I think we should go after him. Would only be for one year. I guess the only way to match salaries is to send Ariza. How about Ariza and next year's pick? What would people think about this year's pick? Have to see what player LA is sending I guess.
