    Who says no? (send some picks to GS as well)

    Toronto goes all in on the rebuild while getting the hometown guy in Wiggins (aka Maple Jordan). GS re-tools for a title run.

    (leaf added only for salary purposes. can get around this after the summer).

    Again, all these moves are contingent on bringing back Powell.

    Dame/ MLE PG
    Powell/ Simons
    Roco/ Little
    Siakam / Jones
    Green / Collins

    I don't see the Warriors being interested in paying CJ $30M to play behind Curry and Thompson, and I don't see a three guard lineup being something that they'd be interested in committing to.

    Fairly sure GS & Toronto. Maybe even Portland would decline.

    replacing CJ as the starting SG with Powell accomplishes that

    A bit of unicorn for the roster? He certainly didn't seem to mesh well with Doncic, where I think CJ would be the perfect complement to Luka's game. The question is whether Porzingis can get back to his NYK level of play. Drop Kanter and go with Nurk, Porzingis and Collins as your three bigs. Play RoCo at SF with Little as backup, re-sign Powell and go with a 3 guard lineup of Dame, Norm & Ant.

    I have to admit that -10 wins for Portland vs +10 wins for the Mavs is a bit off-putting, but I'm not a believer in Hollinger's projections. I think the bigger concern would be health for all three bigs.

    I wouldn't bring in Porzingis unless I have a trade lined up to get Nurk out. KP is a center.

    Not defensively. Seems much more suited as a stretch 4, ironically in an offense like Mike D’s

    Is Porzingis that much different than Aldridge when he was here?

    Golden State says no quickly, especially if Wiseman is involved. They need Green too. Toronto I haven't a clue. Wet dream for Portland

    that trade has almost 140M in salary moving around, and more than 400M in contracts. I wonder what the NBA record is for salary and contract value moving in a trade

    It's like looking at the same person..... only different.

    I was listening to Mike Richman's pod this AM about potential CJ trades where he polled other podcasters in local markets about what they would give up for CJ. Wiseman was proposed by the GS guy. I added a Nurk for Green swap, but figured GS would want to get rid of the Wiggins contract along the way.

    eh? I want no part of a lineup that uses KP to guard 4s, especially in this day and age where Lebron/Kawhi/Giannis are PFs.

    Well, what do you expect? Half of the forum are dumbshits, and I may well be in the wrong half.
