    yeah that would probably change things then. So it’s pretty much just Simmons, unless Olshey really goes for it and tries to get Kawhi? Gonna be a big offseason, let’s see what he comes up with.

    Really sucks not having much money to move.

    The Blazers have been burned by injured players enough. We need HEALTHY players in return from a trade.

    Harden wanted to trade for Westbrook and a few months later was demanding a trade.

    I think it's more important to get a player that best improves the team than immediately appease Dame. I see Dame giving whoever we acquire a chance, Siakam was an All NBA player.

    I wonder how many picks it would take for Orlando to part with Isaac. Clearly they thought he was worth investing in even after he tore his ACL. Wonder if Simons+DJJ+2 firsts/2 swaps is enough.

    Huge Isaac fan, I would definitely consider this if the 2 1st were something like top-10 protected. I don’t see why the Magic would do this though if Anfernee is the best piece coming back though. They’ll likely grab Green in the draft. Anfernee is a better player than Anthony, but neither are real PGs. Fultz will be back eventually. Gary Harris and Terrence Ross are on the team also.

    If they were to pick a guard between CJ and Anfernee, I bet they’d likely want CJ because he’s already been a 20ppg guy who can at least improve their PG situation from where it is now with Fultz/Anthony. But if you give up CJ for Isaac, that comes with the risk of Isaac’s injuries.

    I don’t think theres a trade scenario where we could conceivably get Isaac really. If Wendell Carter Jr ever became a potential buy-low target though, I’d love to have him on the squad.

    That would be the most unbelievably amazing offseason swing-for-the-fences move I could imagine. I mean, I'd hate to lose RoCo (can we S&T Kanter to the Pels instead??), but still, if that could happen, you absolutely go for it.

    I don't agree, completely, because I don't think Dame is that shallow

    I'd say a big part of his evaluation will be how the team performs in the regular season, and then the playoffs

    I add RoCo because he's actually a good fit at PF/C next to Zion. He spaces the floor and defends the rim. This is all under the assumption that NO is trying to compete now.

    They also have RJ Hampton that looks to have potential. I don't think they would care about Anfernee.

    Problem with Isaac is he's coming off an ACL injury. Plus he was inconsistent in their lineup when they had Vucevic. He hasn't proven jack.

    Sure is. He'd also be a great fit with Grant and Siakam. I want it all!!

    NO is also moving a ton of value. I dunno, depends how they see CJ, but that package for CJ alone is an overpay imo.

    Well they still gave him the contract even after the ACL injury so they believe he proved enough to deserve this. He also has amazing defensive potential. Some late 1sts won't make any dif for the Magic, difficult to hit the jackpot with the 20th pick.

    People will hate this, but I love it. I'm trying to move KCP + some more firsts somewhere else.

    2 firsts for Hayward is already a hell no. I like my players healthy if we're giving 2 first rounders.

    Or maybe they just made a bad decision.

    I'd do it. Doubt that the Hornets would.
