The 2022 Trade Idea Thread, now with more urgency!

Yeah, Jones is a top ten rookie from this class - we're not getting him.

 

I think Porzingis better fit in Toronto. CJ and Khem Birch to Dallas, Porzingis and Nance to Toronto and Siakam to Portland. We probably need to give a draft pick to somebody.

 

No Jones in a CJ to NO deal is a non-starter for me. If even this guy is not on a table, I'd rather wait til the summer and open up the market for CJ. And I'm not even that crazy about Jones.

Also featured in the calculus for Cronin in any trades with NO... you are effectively conceding your play-in spot to the Pelicans. Is everyone really OK with that?

 

YES -- this team could use a trade asset and right now i would rather miss with Dame being out for another MIN of 4 weeks then TRY and fail to get into the playoffs and only get a 12 to 14 pick.

Now say it with me ill -- This is a LOST season cause of injuries and covid so play for a high pick that can be used maybe for a player but more for using it with CJ.

Got it --- LOL

 

yes

 

i meant in the org.

as in dame.

i personally been hard on the tank the season bandwagon for a while now.

 

Fischer had Jonas V instead of Hayes as a possibility. Hart + Jonas V.
Also, pretty sure Portland fans would riot with Hayes.

 

Dame has pretty much said he doesn’t give a fuck about this season when he said “we will see if I come back this season”.
If he cared he’d say “I’m coming back.”

 

Which, might I add, I’d like for him to get some burn at the end of the season even in a limited fashion just to knock some rust off after the surgery going into the off season.

 

they can do both by trading Powell hehe

 

welcome to Vulcanism

 

and Joe is as Vulcanized as any of late.

 

"The Atlanta Hawks have set an asking price for John Collins and, surprisingly, it's not all that high of a price. Atlanta is looking for a first-round pick and starting caliber player in return for Collins."
************************************

"At this stage of the NBA's midseason trade window, the Atlanta Hawks, Portland Trail Blazers, Indiana Pacers, Sacramento Kings and New Orleans Pelicans are considered to be the most active teams in trade conversations ahead of the Feb. 10 deadline, according to league sources.

With the Ben Simmons saga still in apparent limbo, John Collins, Myles Turner, CJ McCollum and Jerami Grant remain the biggest names regularly mentioned by league personnel as likely trade candidates."

(this may have been discussed before but the dateline is today)

CJ for Collins would be a good trade for Portland IMO. But getting a 1st and then shipping it to Atlanta is a problem

 

Right out of the Neil Olshey play book.

 

Since Trae is small and a bad defender, I’m guessing they would be more interested in Powell than CJ.

 

If you're going all-in to try to win while we have Dame, I suspect we would need to trade Ant. Norm is probably the best shooting guard to pair with Dame because he can play defense and he's a good spot up shooter.

 

CJ and Nurk to Pelicans for Hart, Valanciunas and Satoransky?

 

We can extract a first for Roco and shift it to ATL for Collins in a CJ swap if ATL would actually be open to it. I've come up with ideas ad nauseum showing the same.

ATL does desperately need another playmaking guard but we know the deficiencies of putting two non-defending perimeter guys together all too well.

 

I agree, you have to choose in what direction you want to go on in. Rebuild or stay the path?
