    Trent or CJ need to go. The alternative is that we go into free agency and hope that nobody offers him a massive contract, or we can work out a sign and trade, or we just let him go for nothing.

    The Bulls are going to have to take less than they want if they are going to trade him. Markannen wants more than he is worth to resign in FA. Teams aren't going to want to trade the farm for him.

    Not really thinking that far ahead. Just trying to get the best roster we can on both ends going into the playoffs.

    A Markkanen/Trent swap would make sense for both teams as Markkanen can start at the four long term so he’d be worth paying. I know the money doesn’t line up in a straight swap but they can make it work if they wanted to. For example Trent and Hood for Markkanen and Temple is pretty much equal. Would also leave room for a buyout guy.

    If Cleveland would do it, I would. Like the buyouts.

    why does CHI want Trent? Does Lavine want to swing to the 3? I'd be OK with Lauri long term. Neil was rumored to be after him in the 2017 draft, and has loved guys like Porzingis in the past.

    Doesn't help our defense whatsover, though

    Again with the Hill buyout thing. Why do people think this will happen?

    And how much room do you think we have to be able to sign TWO buyout guys?

    Why does Cleveland want Ant? They already have two super young frail guards as is. They have been rumored to request two first rounder for Nance.

    They could start Trent and Lavine. White isn’t starting for them right now. Either way they can afford Trent since white is on a rookie scale and Otto is off the books in the summer.

    Would you trade Little in a Markkanen deal?

    I agree; has to be Trent that goes.

    Right so no need for them to give up anything for Trent now. The trade market for Trent is gonna be small. It's only teams that won't have capspace in the summer AND have a glaring need at SG, while being willing to pay him closer to 18-20 mil next summer. Keep circling back to Orlando

    no chance Portland let’s Trent walk for nothing. They will match any offer or they will trade him.

    To me Atlanta still makes the most sense. They don't have a clear starter at shooting guard.

    This trade makes so much sense to me for both teams

    Dame/Rondo
    CJ/Simons
    Covington/DJJ/Little
    Collins/Melo
    Nurk/Kanter

    Where did Woj say that? I saw this from Vincent Goodwill this morning:

    Trail Blazers interested in JaVale McGee
    JaVale McGee is starting to garner interest from the Portland Trail Blazers. McGee was solid for the Lakers in the bubble last summer, and the Blazers are looking for more frontline help. The Blazers are in a tricky spot because Jusef Nurkic appears to be on the way back, as reported by Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes.

    I was going to post something similar.

    Hood -> Hill
    Porter as a min contract

    That would be an amazing trade deadline!
