Trade Idea Post and Discuss Trade Ideas for the 2019-20 Season

I am willing to include that. Iguodala is exactly the type of player the Blazers need and they ain’t going to get someone like him who is 25 years old like Pascal Siakam.
Iggy was born in 1984, same as Lebron James. I think we’d take Lebron despite that.
I don’t know his plans for next season or if he would re-sign with the Blazers or his physical condition right now but if they were all good for another two seasons I’d definitely want him, he’d be a huge upgrade over Bazemore.

 

last season, Portland was 9th in defensive rebounding rate; This season, Portland is 30th, dead last....and it's killing them. Whiteside has a defensive rebounding rate above 29%; Aldridge has a rate under 16%

all summer, Olshey sold the notion that Portland could sacrifice defense and rebounding in favor of offense and spacing. That sure ain't working. But I guess the Whiteside for Aldridge swap could be a case of in-for-a-penny-in-for-a-pound. Not sure it will work like some expect though....Blazers really seem to have offended the gods of unintended consequences this season

Bazemore for Aldridge? It would have to be more salary going out for Portland, and even if the Blazers included their 1st (which they'd have to in a Hassan for LMA swap), I'd doubt the Spurs would accept. They may not be any more willing to write off the season than the Blazers are

 

I just figured because every thread is a fire Stotts and Olshey and trade thread this might be another 3000 plus post thread.
I'm betting if you started merging all the Trade CJ, Fire Stotts, waive Tolliver, what can we get for such and such, you could actually beat the Super Melo with extra fiber thread which by the way is another trade isn't it?

 

What do y’all think CJ can get us? You’re fooling yourselves if you think it’s an all-star.

We’d be lucky to get a good starter+young player for him, imo.

Think like Julius Randle and Kevin Knox for example.

 

FTFY

 

Don’t think the Knicks move him

 

Giving up a pick for Iggy would be horrible.

 

Unless it’s a protected second rounder.

 

it's really looking like even if the Blazers squeak into the playoffs (likely), they'd have a pick in the 15-18 range. They should be careful about giving that up for what would probably be a marginal upgrade at best, and maybe not even that

 

CJ for Randle, Knox, and Ntilikina

Whiteside+’21 1st for OPJ

Baze+cash for Tristan Thompson

Dame / Ntilikina
Hood / Simons / Trent
OPJ / Knox / Little
Randle / Skal / Tolliver / Rio
Nurk / Thompson / Zach (hurt)

Cut Melo when Nurk is back

 

first off...no way either Cleveland or Chicago go for those deals

and, I've thought CJ should be traded for 3 years now, and I think he's been heavily overrated by a lot of fans and especially the GM whenever CJ was due for a new contract

but I'd like to try for a better deal then that one. CJ + a pick for Tobias Harris maybe. I'd even consider a CJ for Love deal. As overrated as I think CJ is, I still think he's better than Aaron Gordon...a frequently mentioned trade. But maybe, the fact that CJ has a 5 year contract now that ranks 7th in the NBA in guranteed money means his trade value is really low....I don't know

 

Idk, does Cleveland really care? OPJ May take two firsts though.

 

Why they should help us though? At least Tristan has history with them why ship him for nothing?

 

Giving away a first rounder for Iguodala would be absolutely ridiculous. Spending 2020 unprotected first to slightly improve the roster is exactly what I expect from Olshey though.

I really fear that we are going to spend our assets on someone like Blake or Love and screw our franchise for the next years (it’s already kind of screwed with Dame’s and CJ’s deals).

 

Because we have helped them many times in past years, we have a good FO to FO relationship with Cleveland.

 

Let's just give them Bazemore and then he comes off the books for them and we have Iggy for a title run.

 

i still don't see why they would give up Tristan Thompson for that. Actually i think they might want to renew his contract.

 

Iggy's on an expiring contract too so I dont see why theyd do that either.

 

A 2nd would be fine. Shouldve specified and said a 1st.
