Trade Ideas Thread

You really think Brooklyn is interested in taking on over 22 mil more and allow an expiring contract to walk only to add another year at 18.2 mil? Why? We are less than a season away from Turner being an expiring contract in which we might be able to trade for some assets then. Regardless how anyone feels about Turner, he still helps this team and would help it more than Faried.

 

Would he though? Another expensive, streaky, role player. Don’t we have enough of those? I want to look for either a young player who needs a chance, or an established scorer.

 

Mentioned the name when he was traded, but I’d still love to have Saric.

Would you do Aminu and a first for Saric (and Tolliver to make the money work)

 

Yes, I doubt they would though.

 

Ah, and don't we have enough of those too?

 

Turner will not be a positive asset just because hes expiring. So confused as to why people think that. How will he help us acquire "assets"?

Turner doesnt help the team. Right now he has exactly 0 wins over replacement player, a 49TS%, a -1.9 BPM, the team gets outscored by 12 points per 100 possessions when hes on the court (and he has the benefit of play some minutes with the starters). He hurts us.

I'd be down to dump Turner and a pick below 20 to open up the Full MLE, BAE, and sign-and-trade opportunities.

 

You conveniently ignored the first point. Why would the Nets take on that much salary.

 

The same way any other expiring (or cap space) would, unless you don’t think picks are assets. Olshey took on Varajao in exchange for a first, and he was a corpse.

 

They can be helpful in facilitating a deal, but they aren't assets. An ET expiring contract isnt going to land you an asset unless s you attach an asset to it. It's not an asset in itself.

 

You don’t necessarily have to attach anything to Turner as long as you’re willing to take money back. It’s the same idea as Chicago getting a first for Parker. That’ll be Turner next year. And I’d argue Turner would have more value than Parker, despite what the fans think of him. Vets that can defend and facilitate will always have value, especially if it’s an expiring.

 

What? So he has value if we take back bad salary? No, that's us giving up 0 value for negative value. Nobody is going to want Turner. Hes a bad player.

 

Didn't say *they* would - I said *I* would! The Nets would be foolish to take him on.

As for ET making a positive contribution or ever having positive trade value - we will just have to agree to disagree.

 

Turner, Aminu, and a first for Ariza and Morris? Technically theyd be separate deals because of restrictions on Ariza, but you know what I mean.

 

Now that Wall is out, Washington becomes an even more attractive trade partner. They have multiple players that could help Portland. Ariza and Morris are also expiring. Porter could be another possibility. My question would be their interest level in taking on salary in exchange for a first rounder.

 

Can't we get Marcus instead of Markieff? I know they both kill the Blazers but against everyone else one shoots 43% from deep and the other 33%.

 

I think markief would Shoot better than 33% in Portland, Imagine Shooting him all these wide open 3s instead of all these Aminu bricks

 

Id take either one. Those two kill us all the time so maybe Blazers fans are biased towards them, but I also think they’d fit our offense perfectly. They space the floor, and they can score without being ball dominant. They also have some balls and won’t let anyone bully them.

 

1 Otto Porter Jr. please

 

CJ & 1rp for Beal

Beal is taller than CJ, a better defender and passer.
Beal also has a passion in his belly to win games. Something that has faded away from the Blazer's attitude.

 

The Bulls and Parker’s representative are working to find a trade scenario that works for both parties. League sources indicated that teams interested in Parker are asking the Bulls to take on bad, long-term contracts. As of now, that’s a non-starter for the Bulls, who structured Parker’s deal the way they did for a reason.

Ok so that’s not happening then. And the bulls are dumb. They’re not getting any top FA, they should be gathering picks.
