    With the Harkless signing, it's fair to say our summer is over. We have a log jam of players, a trade is likely in the near future. What would you like to see?

    I want a legit power forward. I don't think Millsap is on the table at this point, and actually, with him being a free agent next summer, I don't think I want him anyway. That dude is going to get GROSSLY overpaid.

    Trade Aminu, Crabbe, Davis, and Plumlee. Swap out Vonleh/Ezeli for Davis/Plumlee if necessary. But I just don't see us signing Plumlee next summer, so...

    Try to acquire DMC with ^^^ combo. Fall-back option would be Okafor.

    Crabbe, Turner, and Ezeli are only restricted until December. Only FA's signed using exceptions (Meyers and Harkless) are restricted until January. Layman and Quarterman are restricted for two months (I believe).

    My high hopes trade wish would be:

    Portland: DeMarcus Cousins

    Sacramento: Kevin Love, Portland 2017 1st round pick, rights to Cedi Osman

    Cleveland: Mason Plumlee, Al-farouq Aminu, Noah Vonleh

    Dame
    CJ / Crabbe
    Turner / Harkless-Layman
    Davis-Harkless / Vonleh
    Cousins / Ezeli-Leonard

    That's a nasty lineup.

    I would love that but Indy has put a contending roster (for the east) around him.

    Paul George is better than DMC, even though DMC is really really good

    Cleveland would just cut us out and trade Love for DMC.

    We need to convince Sac to take Crabbe/Vonleh/Plumlee + two firsts for DMC.

    Dame
    CJ
    Turner
    Aminu
    Cousins

    With Harkless/Davis/Leonard/Layman off the bench. Or you start Harkless and bring Turner off the bench at both guard positions. Use Aminu as the starting four and backup three.

    I agree, but how the team is constructed, I think DMC would make a bigger impact and push us further. Add PA and we still lack that impact in the paint regardless of Ezili.

    I think it might have to be a player out of left field or a player who might not be thought of a star currently.

    At the moment, Cousins is on everyone's radar, and Sacramento knows that. I'm not sure we could compete with an offer from, say, Boston.

    Looking ahead, which team projected to compete could fall off? Which player's value was once high but has dropped off slightly?

    I'd love to land a player of Cousins' caliber, but I think we may have to start reeling in those expectations to a player of Brook Lopez or Nikola Vucevic's caliber.
