    OKC has no use for Gallinari. I’d rather have Gallinari than Bazemore. Would they do that trade? It works straight up. Saves them almost $3M.

    I think since they did a Press conference with Bazemore there is basically zero chance he gets traded unless its right before the deadline. I dont think NO would do a presser and then trade a guy like a week later, maybe Im wrong.

    I'd say about zero

    Presti is still the GM and he's sure to remember Olshey screwing with him with the Kanter offer sheet. And the division rivalry might be too strong and make him reluctant to get a player like Blake to Portland

    but more than that, if Detroit was trading for Westbrook, why would they trade Blake G? That would make no sense that I can see

    He’s in the wrong business if that’s where his mind is.

    Alright here is a framework to work from in 2 months once our newly acquired guys can be moved with players.

    POR
    In: Gallo/Olynyk/Winslow
    Out: Whiteside/Bazemore/future protected first

    MIA
    In: Westbrook/Adams
    Out: Dragic/Winslow/Olynyk/Leonard

    OKC:
    In: Dragic/Bazemore/Whiteside/Leonard (all four expiring)/ 2020 POR 1st
    Out: Westbrook/Adams

    We get better fits and a SFotF in Winslow who is on a decent contract for 3 yrs. MIA gets its trio of Russ/Jimmy/Adams. OKC gets a pick and clears every large contract they have to start completely fresh next summer.

    Annnnd OKC is going back to its minimum FAs they agreed to sign to see if they want to sign with other teams. Alec Burks is now going to GS according to Shams.

    They're blowing this up.

    I'm sure seeing a lot of trade-Bazemore and trade-Whiteside ideas

    looking at the roster and knowing about Nurk's injury, I'm thinking those two guys might be two of the most important players on the roster if Portland wants to compete for playoff seeding and a deep run. Mid-season trades fail as often as they succeed for a variety of reasons

    something else: with Portland's situation, those two expiring contracts might actually have more value to Portland than any other team. Blazers may really need the tax-relief of some cap-space next summer

    If you're OKC in this scenario, you insist on receiving Winslow in a MIA deal.

    In fact, from their perspective, why involve Portland at all? In all reality, isn't the most likely scenario simply Dragic/Johnson+muliple future picks for Westbrook?

    Johnson and Winslow have multiple years left I believe and MIA has no tradeable future picks.

    Ah, didn't notice Johnson's PO. And also forgot about the picks they gave up in prior deals.

    I'm sure OKC would have no problem with Winslow being part of their rebuild, but aside from him, the Heat don't really have much to offer. Even in your original proposal, the Thunder basically get nothing for their two best players.
