    If you trade CJ to the Knicks you have to take them to the cleaners...biggest market on the planet.....I'd want 3 rotation players and all their number 1 draft picks I could get

    Randle is intriguing. Adds a different look. I just struggle with the remaining pieces coming in, and how to make it fit. And wonder if there is a 3rd team who would want their young pieces for another win now piece to come our way?

    Thinking about it more, it's odd from NY's perspective because they'd be making an obvious win now, now-ish move by adding CJ, but then be replacing Randle with...Toppin? With Robinson hurt, it's Noel, Randle, Toppin and Taj. And they're slightly more guard heavy. But, who knows.

    They have no big contracts, this makes it hard to make a deal.

    Quickley is the main cog in any CJ trade.

    Mitchell in place of Randle would be ideal but the contracts aren’t even close to working under the cap.

    OK, I think you're making a joke but I'm not sure. So RJ Barrett who is nothing close to the hype he had coming out of the draft a couple of years ago, Elfrid Payton so we get our backup PG and a pick that with CJ, Randle and Mitchell will be like the twentieth pick in the draft. That doesn't seem like anything close to the best we could get from them.

    the knicks basically have the Mavs 1st round pick this year.

    https://basketball.realgm.com/nba/draft/future_drafts/detailed

    2021 first round draft pick from Dallas
    Dallas' 2021 1st round pick to New York [Dallas-New York, 1/31/2019]

    They also have their own 1st round pick.

    So if they could get CJ for Randle and lets say Rivers and the Mavs first rounder, that would be a trade for next year and beyond. They would have CJ and young guys (Toppin, Robinson, Quickley, Barrett, Knox) getting experience playing with him. They get to evaluate all of those players and see who they want to add with what would be 50 million in cap space... actually like 40 after cap holds... but still enough to add a max player. If that team got Kawhi they would rule the east.

    The last time I watched Randle, I thought, this guy is a star. He's the center of this trade, not Barrett, Quickley, or McCollum. Olshey can find guards and wings, but lacks the GM talent to get PFs.

    I've been wondering if the Celtics might push/explore a CJ trade. Boston slipped to .500 today. Kemba Walker's having a bad year. The natives seem more upset with Brad Stephens than Blazer fans are with Stotts.

    Thing is, I'm not sure what the Blazers could get back that would be worthwhile. They aren't trading Tatum or Brown. I'm sure Pritchard would make sense as part of the return but that does nothing to address the Blazers' need for a star-type player coming back. Probably would require and third or fourth team to be involved ... as weird as it seems, the Knicks probably are in a better position to make a two-team deal than the Celtics.

    Funny how so many want CJ gone but then when it comes time to talk trade his value is through the roof.
