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

Saric

 

I wanted to revisit this one more time, while allowing me to adjust my tin-foil hat a bit.

1-2 weeks ago Dame had a statement that 'he didn't sign up for this'....

He knows how depleted the team is. I'm wondering if he went to managment asking why we haven't picked up a 15th man (or a 16th) & was told we aren't increasing the team salary.

Subsequently he makes the statement to the media that he didn't sign up for this, which is a veiled shot at ownership/management.

Dame is not the type to be complain through the media - but he will apply pressure if needed.

 

When did Dame ever say that?

 

I didnt hear that comment, but thats interesting.

 

Is this too much to give up (if the 1st is lottery protected) or is this pretty fair? Obviously if Phoenix preferred Maker we could switch him and Morris but I doubt it.

 

That is NOT what Dame said. Dame even said that's not what he said. Of course national media ran with it like he wants out.

 

Those aren’t the type of players that fetch first round picks, even combined, so yeah it probably isn’t very fair.

 

The last day or two I've been trying to see what trades looked like if we gave up (maybe?) too much but the other teams would definitely be happy. This is like a max offer but we should definitely try no picks or only 2nds first. Even better if the result is keeping our 1st to use in a Whiteside for Covington and Dieng deal.

 

Dame said he was saying because of the injuries this isn't the team they were hoping to have when he signed his extension. He never expected them to be bad this year.

 

Whiteside and a first for Covington and Dieng seems pretty fair for both sides. That’s one of the few proposals involving Whiteside that actually make sense. Another one would involve Sacramento.

 

That's still by far my favorite trade and one I'll be very disappointed in not happening.

 

Whiteside for Harrison Barnes.

 

@Scalma you won't like this because it involves trading Trent but combine the two. Since our 2nd round pick this year is protected 56-60 (which won't convey) it doesn't show up on Trade NBA but in this deal it would be going to Detroit.


Re-sign Saric and Skal in the off season

Guards: Dame, CJ, Rose, Simons

Wings: RoCo, Snell, Hood?, Little

Bigs: Nurk, Collins, Saric, Skal

That team is a heck of a lot deeper than this year. Probably pick up another cheap big and another guard/wing and they'd be pretty good.

 

Evidently multiple teams are interested in signing Kenny Wooten (yeah, the Oregon guy) to a 10 day. He’s averaging 3.5 bpg and is one of, if not the best defender in the g league. 6’9 230 with a 7’2” wingspan.

 

I have always been a big believer that in todays NBA your role player need to be long and athletic (unless just pure talented) which is something PDX has not adopted. Their version is Little who at 6'5" just doesn't fit the bill in my opinion. Aminu was long, but never considered him athletic. Ed Davis has been the closest thing to that and I think most on here would welcome him back with open arms.

Defense in the NBA isn't about individual stoppers because offensive players are just too good. You win with the ability to switch and not get overmatched. You win with limiting the offense to one shot. You win making shooters adjust their shots. Length and athleticism does that. Now if they think that offense will win it all, then never mind.

Just my frustrated opinion.

 

lottery protected 1st round pick

I would prefer the same trade for Covington+Dieng, but I think Covington has higher value and just our 1st would not be enough even if we get Dieng. I think Minnesota wants to use both Covington and Dieng in a trade that gets them a player back not just a pick and cap space because no FA is signing there anyway and then they won't have the ability to match salaries next season if they give up those two contracts.



Hornets have been looking to get in on Drummond, but maybe they can give a look to Hassan. They can get him the 30 min role he wants since Zeller is kind of injury prone and has been even leapfroged by Biyombo nowadays.

This gets as to:
Lillard/Simons
CJ/Trent
Bogdanovic/MKG
Melo/Marvin
Nurkic/Dedmon

Marvin can be kept for next season with a team friendly contract i guess, he is not a bad backup. And I would match whatever Bogdan brings, i don't think there is much money out there for him summer 2020.


2020/21 team:
Lillard/Ant
CJ/Bogdanovic
Hood/Little
Zach/Marvin
Nurkic/Dedmon

Bogdanovic will be the playmaker we need in the 2nd unit and will help Ant settle in more of a scoring role. There is enough D in this roster as well I believe.

 

He's a horrible player and dumb as rocks.

 

Could be better, Could be worse.

 

What does Barnes offer that we need?
