    Throw in Cedi Osman from the Cleveland side and I would consider it.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Supposedly, the Warriors really like Wiseman and wouldn't trade him in a Myles Turner deal. Considering Turner better fits what they do than Nurkic, I doubt Wiseman would be on the table for Portland. This year, they plan to finish (important) games with Green at center anyway, so they wouldn't trade Wiseman for someone that would be on the bench when they trot out their best lineup.

    I think we'd be better off NOT taking Osman - he's a net negative.

    I work in payroll and we got hit by that Kronos ransomware sh*tshow today so I can't do anything until that gets figured out. Enter a day full of trade scenarios. :)

    Trey Kirby from the No Dunks crew is a Bulls fan and said the Bulls would love Roco for one of their wings...they have wing talent they can't find minutes for

    Provided CJ is healthy, that would make the Cavs legit contender if they aren’t already.

    Aside from Lillard, I'd think that the two players other teams would most want are Nance and Powell--they seem like the kinds of players that fit best on the widest range of teams. Covington would have been in that category and I guess still could be if other teams think his collapsed game is all circumstantial.

    most likely

    something else: pretty sure no other team would be trading for Powell to start him at SF

    Rationale:
    Rumor about Detroit wanting to unload Grant
    Rumor about Pacers wanting to move either Sabonis or Turner (and Carlisle is said to like Turner better)
    Rumor about us wanting to offload Nurk and RoCo

    Lamb and Craig are just salaries to make weight. Craig was useful last year but Carlisle doesn't seem to play him and Lamb is just bad.
    Why Detroit does it: Nurk is expiring but also they are one of the few teams that don't have a real center. Depends on whether they think Stewart can play the 4.
    Why we do it: to make the Sabonis fans on this board happy
    Why Pacers do it: improved balance and defense. They're suddenly a very good defensive team, which I bet Carlisle will like.

    Team most likely to balk: Indy?

    I think the players most teams would want are easily Little and Ant. Then Nance, then Norm. RoCo/Nurk/CJ's markets are so specific because of their age/game and contract status it's hard to come up with a good deal.

    My prediction is RoCo is moved for 2 2nds somewhere. Same with Nurk, we may get some salary we can kick into next year. No clue about CJ.

    Powell can't be traded for most of the year.
