    CJ for Aaron Gordon.

    LOL. I'm just ridiculing scenarios left and right.

    Who's gonna do our dirty work with both of our junkyard dogs gone?

    Good point. Still, thread said "crazy".

    Legit question though--what would you offer for Paul George (assuming that he'll most likely play like an all-star, perhaps key a deep playoff run, but then leave in the summer)?

    Any non-big3 and non-rookie, but they'd have to take one of either Biebs or ET, and they can't have both Ed and Vonleh.

    Seems to me the bolded would be a non-starter from the OKC side.

    I don't think so (PG makes $$$), but I don't mind. He's leaving them IMHO. I don't think they'll trade him, but they should.

    We need a beast for about 20 minutes a game. Jordan coming off the bench for Nurkic and playing PF at times as a twin tower approach would do just that. And he extends his career by playing less minutes. PS: if Nurkic gets hurt right now - we are toast.

    Lou Williams is instant scoring off our bench; we don’t have a pure shooter on our bench! Evan Turner? Not

    But my trade proposal does something much bigger:

    - Harkness (what a waste at $10 mil/year)
    - Leonard (what a waste. Period)
    - David (gone in a year anyway)

    And I’d rather be in a position of trading away Jordan next Summer than Harkless, Leonard or Davis

    I'm pretty sure they can get more than that for Jordan alone.

    I'm not going to give a scenario, but I'm all about asset acquisition that we could trade down the road.

    The leadership of Lillard has paid off huge with Nurkic.

    This floundering prospect needs a change of culture and scenery. I can see him as instant offense off the bench, the same way OKC utilized Kanter. I know his skillset isn't ideal for this era, but he is a legit post-scoring big. The polar opposite to Vonleh.

    To Portland:
    Jahlil Okafor

    To Philly:

    To Portland:
    Mario Hezonja

    To Orlando:

    I like Harkless for Alec Burks, given how bad Hark is playing we may need to add something, perhaps a 2nd rdr is enough. I'm willing to take a chance on this oft injured player, he has one yr less than Hark on his contract which are similar $$$ wise

    Didn't those teams choose not to retain their rights? Or is it just that they didn't offer them an extension? I don't want to trade for a player without RFA status.
