Trade Ideas Thread

Would Boston move on from Haywayrd? Would they for cheap, to get out of his huge deal?

Hayward and Ojeleye for Turner, Aminu, Swanigan?

 

I’d put Hayward in my top three of realistic targets. If Boston could find a taker for Hayward without adding on money for 2020, I believe they could open up enough space for two max contracts. Theyre covered on the wing, there are better ways to allocate that money.

 

Well why even discuss a hypothetical if it doesn't pass the test? Should we propose Lebron trades?

 

To expand on this, short of putting CJ or Collins on the block, this is the type of player we’re gonna get. A risk. With the “assets” we have, were not going to get an established player without some sort of asterisk attached. It’s our only shot imo.

 

Napier Scored 24 points against the Bucks so far

 

The blazers just need to commit, one way or the other. Either buy into this squad or blow it up. Buy into of course meaning spend whatever is necessary aka luxury tax, and blow it up meaning trade CJ. Because what we have right now is a front office telling us one thing, and the team on the court telling us another. PICK A LANE.

 

I agree with this and, with dame still under contract for 2 more years, it's the type of risk I think we should make. You're not adding that potential without risk or bad salary. It keeps all of your "assets" still.

 

Interesting. I think theyd have it as a contingency in place in case they got a free agent commitment from Butler or KD, and only then would they pull the trigger.

 

KD and Butler are free agents this summer, not next. I don’t think they’d be able to get either one, even if they traded Hayward. I was thinking more along the lines of AD and DeRozan.

 

Both have player options for next year so it's not for certain they will be free agents next year.

 

You're talking about two max slots this summer or next summer..? I thought you were talking about this summer.

 

Next.

 

Harkless to Kings for Labissiere

Kings get the better player and playoff help while balancing their roster. Labissiere does not appear to be in their future plans.

Blazers pick up a project stretch 4 on a rookie contract, saving $9 million in cap space this and next season.

 

Nuggets cut Nick Young. Fuck it gor for it

 

SWaggy Peepers go bye bye.

 

POR Gets: Otto Porter Jr. Jeff Green (TPE)
OKC Gets: Al-Farouq Aminu (TPE), Meyers Leonard
WAS Gets: Alex Abrines, Patrick Patterson, Caleb Swanigan, Wade Baldwin IV, 2019 POR 1st

 

Interesting. Blazers get talent, OKC gets depth, and Wash goes almost all in on tanking.

 

No thanks

 

Hell no. He makes CJ look like prime Tony Allen.
