He's just a better Whiteside, really. Someone who often looks great when we go up against them, and then you have them on your team and realize why the other team hated him, the stats over a long period are pretty empty overall.
I mean I like Vucevic and Ross. But then our roster doesn’t seem all too balanced. I’m against trading Simons too. I’m in the minority probably but I think he has star potential
I love the idea of trading CJ but this gets us a guy who doesn't upgrade us at any position in Ross and without a Nurk move means that we'd move our redundancy from small scoring guard to big antiquated center that can't guard the perimeter.
The problem is he didn't look against and Allen is better center then he is. Drummond time this league has run out. More likely they will buy him out due to his contract but maybe the Nets might take gamble on him.
Teams are monitoring the progress of Anfernee Simons ahead of the trade deadline, Charania adds in the same piece. Simons has taken on an increased role with the Blazers playing behind Damian Lillard and seeing more time in the guard rotation with C.J. McCollum sitting out because of injury
Lowkey, the two targets that I would love to go after are Siakam and one of Brown or Taytum in Boston. I would kill to add any of those three players to our team.
Throw a First to Bos from us also. Dame/Rondo Trent/Simons/CJ2 Brown/RoCo JCollins/Melo Nurk/Kanter/Giles
I realize it’s not realistic, like almost every 3way trade that’s ever been posted, it’s pretty much a fantasy situation.
I think this three way trade might be realistic and make all three teams better: Even though the projected wins make it seem like the Wolves get fucked they might get the best end of the deal. The Knicks get CJ and the options that come with Zach while just giving up Randle, who has been great for them lately but not as good as CJ would be with that roster.
That's because the Wolves do get fucked. And even if you are bearish on KAT's true impact on the game, Nurk and Randle only have 2 years left while KAT has 4. They get no long term asset here just a bunch of role players for a team that is already bad.
