Trade Ideas Thread

That was kinda the mindset. This is their type of deal.

Realistically speaking, itd be something like Ross, Simmons, Bamba and a 1st for McCollum.

 

I guess it would come down to how much they value CJ but I would find it hard to believe any one would give up a rookie top-10 pick and a 1st rounder for CJ at this point.

 

I do too, but who knows with them. I just want Collins and Bamba in the same frontcourt.

I've simply come around to the thought that we need to trade C.J. for a solid rotation player on his rookie contract, expiring(s), and a pick.

 

I participated in several mock off seasons this past summer and in one of them I was the Hornets.

I ended up with Zach Collins and Mo Bamba, which was a specific goal I had. I also got Sexton. So I understand what you're trying to do, I just don't think the timing is right nor if CJ is worth that much anymore.

 

I like La Bamba better than Mo Bamba. I like Nurk at 23 growing each year into a dominant force more than another toothpick, who isn't better than the current center they have.

 

Man Wizard fans are pissed. I saw a funny joke on one of their sites though:

Grunfeld (Wizards GM) had a trade with Boston Morris for Morris. He's happy to announce they've acquired Markieff Morris.

 

How is Zach's ceiling higher? Because he's younger? What possible matrix are you using to say with such confidence that Zach's ceiling is higher than Brown's?

 

A relatively simple trade:

Portland trades Harkless and Leonard to Chicago

Chicago trades J. Parker to Washington

Washington trades O. Porter to Portland

[Espn trade machine approved]

 

Also, not having a certain Patriot fan here helped me come to this conclusion.

 

Why would Washington do that? That equates to 0 value for Porter since they'd decline Parkers option.

Also, why does Chicago do that? An extra $20M next year for mediocre role players? I don't set them doing that.

 

Brown is in his third year and has a PER of 10. That’s well below average for a starter. Last year it was 13.6. Still below average. Zach is in his second year and is at 14.5. Browns VORP is in the negative. You can bring up defense but Zach’s DPM in his first two years is superior to anything Brown has put up.

Besides that, Collins plays a more premium position.

Any other questions?

 

Ive looked all over and cant seem to find it.
I know this was discussed before, but has there ever been a case of a player restructuring an active contract in the middle of it, to lessen the players pay in order to help the team payroll and provide opportunity to bring in more talent?

I know FA’s have been known to sign cheap on contenders but what about in the middle of a contract?

Didnt KD say last year he would be willing to restructure to keep thier band together?


Dame’s brand is big and he has a 100mill shoe contract.
If he really loves it here aNd really wants to win, the best thing he could do is not wait for his contract to come up.
The best thing he could do is go to NO and say “look. Pay me 20 mill for 5 seasons and ill shred the old and sign the new. “
I mean, not counting what he has made already or what he will sign for in another five years , is not $220 mill enough???
Just sayin...
Same goes for CJ... $15 mill a year?

That alone would allow us money to bring in a superstar (providing they would sign)

Im just saying, with all the talk aBout wanting to win here, the best way to show it would be to help the payroll situation to free up options for management.
Max deals are too easily handed out. Very few teams should have a max deal because very few teams have a top ten player.

 

Washington appears to be setting up for Summer salary dumping. Ariza and Parker (as per my trade idea) would clear a ton of space for them this Summer when pursuing free agents (they may need picks to sweeten the pot);

The Bulls get rid of a problem in Parker and add Harkless and Leonard - they need a bench

The Blazers would acquire a solid SF but at an expense! So CJ may have to be traded.

 

That Vonlah TPE sure would have worked nicely for Oubre.

 

How is a non wing a premium position in todays nba?

 

To expand on brown, here’s how he lines up with Moe Harkless’ first three seasons.



We got Moe after his third season for a bag of sun chips, but Brown is going to be a headliner in an Anthony Davis trade? Lol no.

 

I see you trying to pivot. It’s cool I’m not that interested.

 

Why wouldnt the Wizards just offer Porter to SAC for Kofous. McLemore, Labissiere, & Future 2nds? That's already a much better package for low, and the future.

 

There's this thing called long-term potential, that teams that trade stars like to get in return.

The headliner would be the top 10 pick that has a chance of becoming a top 3 pick that they'd get, as well as the four other 1st round picks Boston could throw their way.

 

He’s in his third season and has been a rotation player since his rookie year. Where’s the development? He’s a low IQ (I’m talking basketball IQ, I know he’s book smart) player with some athletic tools. So, Moe Harkless.
