    I only tossed brogdon in there to make salaries work. I dont know him. All I want is Middleton. What would it take to get Middleton with any of the following:
    Napier/Harkless/Leonard/Aminu/Turner/Swannigan/Draft Picks

    They aren't getting rid of Middleton. We can't get him. Move on.

    To be fair, everyone can be had, for the right price. That offer won’t get it done though obviously.

    True, but it would take one of our big 3 or a bunch of future unprotected picks. Hypothetically, we could trade for him, but neither team would do it, and neither team would likely get better.

    A package highlighted by Collins would probably get it done. Not saying I’d do it though.

    I don't think that would get it done. I would do that trade in a heart beat.

    We'll disagree. Aminu has been MUCH better and MUCH more under control when dribbling this season. As evidenced by (small sample size) his 6 turnovers in 8 games.

    His shot selection has also been much better. It was only 8 games, but showed us how much of a positive impact Chief can have when he plays smart and doesn't try to do too much.

    I would rather trade Caleb over Collins. Long term Collins may have more upside. Caleb may have more interest in the league after his start vs Collins. Not sure either puts us over anything anyone else can offer for any deal. Nobody seems to want our scrubs.

    Collins was a lottery pick for a reason. Everyone knew he was a project. His value is no different than it was in June. I doubt there’s a team out there that would value Swanigan more. Remember, Swanigan is only 20 as well. It’s about long term with both.

    You're trades always have the opposing team giving away too much for too little. Middleton is their full time starter, and a great player. Brogdon is a big piece of their future as well. And you have us giving them two wings who can't shoot, one of which is ball dominant and on a horrible contract to put next to Giannis, which would be a horrible fit.

    Hopefully the team can continue to keep him off the weed.

    The 3rd year in both cities is where he really regressed. Needs to be traded every 1-2 years I guess.

    Journey Mo! Man, at this rate, he's going to have more nicknames than a Daryl Dawkins dunk-fest.
