Trade Ideas Thread

Got it. It wasn't clear that everyone understood that point

 

well I do hope we make a move or two - here's to optimism!

 

Here's how to avoid that: get a head start!

 

The guy has been on like 5 teams in 3 years. That makes me pause. To me, Little needs to shoot about 33% to match Covington's skillset. They seem very similar to me.

 

Philadelphia gave him to get Butler because he had value. He was not just fill in. Then Rockets gave up a 1st + Capela (a very good C) to get him. I don't see those trades being red flags or anything. His career 3pt% is .356, bit higher than Ariza's so same. He also was voted 1st team All D in 2018 and is locked on a tean friendly contract. We get him + we keep Little. Lillard could way past his prime when Little becomes the player RoCo is if he ever manages that.

 

Little isn't anywhere in the same league as little in the defense department or general BB IQ. Dude got moved a lot since he's a valuable 3 and D piece and it wasn't like he was traded for garbage. Teams gave up valuable assets for him each time. He fits like a glove in this offense IMHO.

 

Race you!

 

Looks like Paul George may be out in LA I like a CJ McCollum for George. Think it is a win win for both teams

 

He still only shoots about 33% from deep. So even though I like him, I still think we overrate him.

 

Nice thing about this trade it is a straight swap between two players no additional incentives works in nba trade machine

 

Which raises to 50% come playoff time

 

I don't think that we know that he "still shoots" that percentage from deep. Reports had him putting in tons of work on his shot over the summer that were resulting in a much better performance. It would have been good to see how that translated in the bubble, but that fall and the "syncopal episode" kept him from playing. I'm looking forward to seeing him when the new season gets underway. Hopefully, his shot is as improved as Dame indicated in this article:

Just tearing it all down in OKC.

 

I was talking about Covington. I agree I think Little can beat that mark.

 

You'd think I would eventually learn to go back through the thread to figure out context before replying to a post.

Nah, I'm way too lazy for that.

 

I would like to trade Blaze the Mascot for Elvira...she'd get the Moda going

 

He is way overpaid. Next year I bet he gets about 12 million less.

 

No.
Just no.

Not saying Paul George isn't talented, and is definitely a better defender than CJ, but at this point he is too damaged goods. On the plus side, Dame could wave goodbye to him across the lockerroom.

 

Who are the Blazers going to get? Gallo, Ibaka, Aaron Gordon, KLove, Hayward?

 

That kind of trading may work in Ireland...
