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

Eye test, but because many will say give me stats advanced stats show he is way ahead as well. He has been really good this season while Simons has basically sucked. Judging by actual play and not potential.

Blake Griffin Bombing in Detroit (not in the good way)

Might fans and analysts hoping the Blazers can pull off a trade for the great power forward take pause?

“Teams are playing straight up,” Casey said. “He’s not shooting the ball well; that’s the bottom line and it’s no fault of anybody’s.

“Players go through that, but out of that, I think he’s a good facilitator. He can pass the ball out of there. There are things he can do to help us win.”

It’s not good when the coach is saying the team’s best player can help by being a decoy.

And the Pistons are faced with the prospect that this is the new normal for Griffin, who is owed $75.5 million for the next two seasons

 

on first glance, all that means is that the Blazers sahouldn't trade for Griffin. But sorry BGD, this does not mean they should default to a Kevin Love trade

 

Trail Blazers trades: CJ / Whiteside / Zach
Chicago trades: Otto Porter Jr., Zach Lavine, and Thad Young.

 

Some predictable Laker drama with Kuzma on twitter or some shit regarding Lebron. CJ for Kuzma.

 

Funny thing about all that is someone should tell Kuzma's trainer to get Kuzma in the lab because he's lightyears behind both lol.

 

I think you forgot the green font (at least I hope so).

 

Why?

 

Isn't that too much? I think they would take expiring contracts right now for Porter and Young. Porter injured a lot and with a too big contract. And Young hardly plays, two and a half years left.

 

I have no idea, that was what happens when I take care of a 6 month old by myself for too long.

 

BTW, Hollinger analysis show minus 11 wins on my trade here. http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=vrt6n6s

 

Lavine and CJ are kind of a wash to me, Otto Porter Jr might be ok, Ive argued against him a lot (he’s also hurt). I like Thad Young defensively.

 

I mean, sure. I’d do that. I’m not sure it really moves the needle much, but Bamba is intriguing to me.

 

Two 40%+ 3pt shooters that can do a bit off the dribble, and one who's big enough to play the 4 and defends well?

I like the ceiling of that plus Bamba. Obviously theres injury concerns there but in the case that it doesnt pan out, we have a $27M epxiring (Porter) and a $17M expiring (Fournier) to trade next seasonz and we'd have all our future picks (2021 and on) and 4 good prospects to attach (Simons, Collins, Little, Bamba). So thats a high reward, low risk option.

 

I'd do that deal in a heartbeat, not sure they would.

 

Baze and a pick for Rose and Snell. Saves Detroit nearly $20M, assuming Snell picks up his option...a safe assumption. We get a wing that can drill threes, and Rose to run the second unit and take the pressure off Simons.

Then trade for Burks


Dame
CJ
Snell
Melo
Nurkic

Rose
Simons
Burks
Skal until Collins returns
Whiteside

 

Not bad. Personally, I'd only be willing to trade a 1st if what we get back helps us contend this year, or if it gives us a long-term, legitimate starting forward.

 

I've thought about the Otto Porter situation and I don't see why they should get only expirings. They have never been able to sign someone good in FA and there is nobody good anyway in 2020 FA. So the extra space won't be of any use really. If I was their GM I would just try keep him healthy and see what he can do next year as he has the potential to be a very good player, he just isn't able to stay healthy the last 12 months.
