Kawhi, PG13, Butler, Beal, Sabonis, Durant...

Who can we get?

 

Sabonis at C

Draymond at PF

And we’re back up in the motherfucker

 

Durant?

you created a thread about lebron coming to Portland.

this is not nba2k

 

I do believe that Toronto will be making Siakam available this off season for pieces like what I think the Knicks might make available to acquire CJ. I think the fact that Siakam is a tall, athletic, two way player makes him a great second option for Dame. If we had to throw in future draft picks to supplement what the Knicks offer, I'd do that. So to recap I think we could get Siakam for CJ and possibly future draft picks.

Dame, a re-signed Norm, RoCo, Siakam, Nurk, DJ, Ant, Nas and cross your fingers that Zach can play and a MLE PG. That's a roster that could be very problematic for any team it faces.

Edit: When coached by someone (I would say "other than Stotts" but that would insinuate that Stotts coaches).

 

the superstar names were just another deflection

 

Olshey is waiting to see what non-rotation NBA finals player we can bring in and force into a starting role. That and Collins returning is his plan to make us a contender.

 

None of them.

Next.

 

If you want to get excited about something, look forward to a day when we have a very good GM. We aren't an all star or even superstar away. Eleven active spots need upgrading

 

Why would Toronto ever give up on Skiam so early? He’s young. Then on top of that for a 30 year old Cj McCollum? Come on man

 

This guy still want to keep CJ lol. We can’t run the three guard lineup forever. The fact that the nuggets have been exposing us without Jamal Murray and Barton is embarrassing. We need to put Powell back at Sg where he play best and get a forward that’s on Cj level. Overall that will boost the team

 

You either didn't understand what I was saying could happen or you just didn't read it. Siakam is two and a half years younger than CJ and I think both of them are too old for the kind of youth movement it looks like Toronto is about to make (I could be wrong about that being their plan). If they are going that way the Knicks have a ton of draft picks and young guys like Toppin who happens to play the same position as the Knicks best player and neither guy is big enough to play the 5 and neither is quick enough to play the 3. So what I said was CJ would be a good fit for the Knicks, they could trade the kind of picks and young players the Raptors want and we would make up any difference in future picks to get Siakam.

So a three way trade: CJ to the Knicks, Siakam to us and picks and young players to Toronto.

 

Huh?

My response is we're unable to get Kawhi, PG13, Butler, Beal, Sabonis, or Durant. I don't think any of those teams are trading those guys and one of them is a free agent and we don't have cap space. What does any of that have to do with CJ?

 

That's plausible, but it'd be reliant on the Knicks striking out in free agency and that could mean it's do or die near the end of the off-season. The only way they'd make that work is absorbing C.J. with cap space and they may want to save it for better targets.

Would love to lump in DJJ and a 1st for Thad Young and a 2nd into that trade if possible though. Combining it to your three team trade would make the Thad Young salary fit in easier. Roll forward next year with:

Dame/Norm/RoCo/Siakam/Nurkic
Ant/MLE-Signing/Nas/Young/Collins

Would be preferable if the MLE Signing was someone who could create his own shot.

That'd something I'd definitely be down for. Would just need a new coach that'd be willing to utilize the three playmaking bigs he'd have at his disposal.

 

The Nuggets aren't exposing us because Norman Powell's head is only 75 inches away from the floor. Standing reach is more relevant and Powell's is 8'7 and he's playing the 3. Meanwhile, Gordon is playing the 4 and his standing reach is 8'9...

 

Should probably just stick this in your sig so you don't have to keep reminding people....

 

Yes, I agree that Siakam should be our target. Will Toronto decide to rebuild on the fly? Also think New Orleans would be a good third team.
What if we had to throw Little in; would you do it?

 

wait. I just read in another thread that we should be loyal to our players... and it was the same poster who started this thread and then saidf in yet another thread we should get rid of everyone but Dame to get LBJ????

Is there ANY consistency in anything anymore?

So many ridiculous threads.....

 

I still say we trade Nurkic,
CJ and DJJ to Minny for Towns and Rubio
