A Great LA Trade Thst Should Happen but Won't

Portland trades LA to Utah in exchange for Alec Burks, Derrick Favors and Dante Exum.

This certainly seems better than bringing back Steve Blake and watching him destroy the team or LA deciding he wants to play in Dallas because he can.

You would think if Utah had any reason to believe they could resign LA they would certainly consider that deal.

Thoughts?

 

Why would Utah do that? There's no way Aldridge re-signs there. That team, even with Aldridge, wouldn't make the playoffs in the west.

 

My thought is what time zone are you in where at 5:30 this morning you are so awake that you are able to come up with all these off the wall theories? I am still on my first cup of coffee and can barely keep my eyes open...which may be a plus while I am reading all this.

 

If this trade actually happened, I think Aldridge would contract a mysterious illness that would preclude him from playing next season. He would then decide he needs to leave and sign with the Mavs

 

You could argue that he's still asleep because most of these ideas are stupid as hell

 

This gets the vote for "the most terrible trade idea for the summer of 2014" award

 

I love the "Thoughts?" line. Like, "Voila! I just plucked this moronic trade idea out of my ass. How many of you would like to bow to my genius?"

 

Hey, I said the trade idea was moronic, not the poster. I'm sure cmeese47 is a wonderful person who simply is having a run of bad ideas.

But, point taken. I guess I am feeling a little pissy this morning.

 

Come and defend your piece of crap trade idea. No fair pitching such dribble and then taking off. I want to laugh a little more.

 

I predict this thread will get a million responses and if I start a "keep the core intact" thread it will die in single digits. OK, I did my part

 

Two years ago I said we should trade Aldridge & someone else for Favors, Gordon Hayward and their pick and was told LOL no.

So in hindsight, it would've been Favors, Hayward, and Exum for Aldridge. This was when they still had Al Jefferson to pair with Aldridge.

 

East Coast

 

Really hmmm how many people just wanted to deal LA straight up for the #1 pick so that they could just go ahead and draft Exum? In this deal, I added a skilled young PF and Burks would immediately become our 6th man.

Right I forgot Wiggins, Waiters and Zellar or whatever the rubbish from the other thread is a much better deal.

 

No bro, it was Aldridge and Matthews for Monroe, wiggins, waiters and zellar. That is much better than this trade 10 fold.

 

Oh BTW Favors > Nothing Burks > Nothing Exum > Nothing

Utah won't make the deal because LA will leave for Dallas at the end of the year. But if they did it is certainly better than what we are going to get when he goes to Dallas anyways.

 

If anything Waiters and Burks are essentially even although I like Burks a lot more. Wiggins and Exum and both hyper athletic rookies but I will give a slight advantage to Wiggins. Favors is miles ahead of Monroe on defense while Monroe is a better offensive player. I would call them about even. Even if you wanted to give Monroe an advantage you still have to give up Matthews to get him and there is no way in fuck is Zellar better than Matthews.
