Trade Ideas Thread

You must have seen that mockWoj tweet as well

 

Nasir for the draft rights to Usman Garuba

Essentially Nas for a pick in the early/mid 20s.

 

Yeah, it's the Twitter account for our Mock Offseason.

 

Nice..for some reason that tweet triggered an alert on my phone and I got all excited for a minute that we made a move

 

Sorry lol. Tried to make it obvious it wasn't real.

 

Apparently a lot of people bought this one:

 

I saw it pop up. Apparently a lot of people don't know that you can't sign free agents right now.

 

Lol I just glanced at it at work then when I got home and took a closer look it was obvious

 

That's It! I'm done with the doom and gloom (from me). I still have the same opinion about what will probably happen (Dame traded because Neil is a snake) but from here on out I'm operating on here like the right thing will happen. We will put a package together that likely includes every draft pick possible and CJ for Simmons. We will re-sign Norm. We will trade Nurk for the best value possible, most likely our sixth man. We will sign Bobby Portis to the taxpayer MLE. DJJ will opt in (that's happening whether I like it or not but under Chauncey, I like it). We will sign Andre Drummond for the vet min. We will compete for the number one seed in the whole damn league next season and a chip with a rotation of:

Dame, Norm, Simmons, RoCo, Portis, what we get for Nurk, Ant, Nas, Drummond and DJJ

 

cruel

 

CJ to San Antonio

Dejounte Murray +? to Portland

If Neil fails to trade CJ to Philly for Simmons or Thybulle I think Murray should be a prime target.

Lockdown defender potential. Made the All-Defensive second team in his second year.

San Antonio rumored to be willing to deal Murray and White.

 

I could see the trade... I know a lot in here would hate it but I think Turner is a better fit for today's game than Nurk and he has an extra year on his contract... I don't know if we give up both Nas and a first but whatever these guys want to think.

I will say that the idea that Norm picks up his player's option makes these guys look like fucking idiots. (sorry if this is someone in here's IG, no personal attack intended)

 

Quit your crazy personal attacks!
As punishment, Mods, please merge his account with @Fairly-Hard , and call the merged account @Fairly-Hard-Blazer-Kor!

 

I'm pretty sure it's sexual harassment to put his username in front of anyone else's. Also if you do, it will probably result in some weird Mrs @THE HCP jokes.

 

I hope this HCP dude has a good sense of humor. Knows i had nothing to do with this?

 

I'm pretty sure that the best value we can get out of CJ (unless we can get Simmons for CJ and a boatload of picks) will come from the Knicks. So whatever young player(s) and picks CJ to the Knicks can yield plus future picks from us should be able to get us Siakam if Toronto is ready to move him and that might be enough to move him and then Van Vleet and make their team really young.

Then re-sign Norm. Hopefully pick up a legit bench player with the taxpayer MLE.

Dame, Norm, RoCo, Siakam, Nurk, DJJ, TPMLE, Nas and Ant. I still don't know if that would be good enough for Dame but maybe.

 

GODFATHER PACKAGE TARGETS:

Jerami Grant
Bradley Beal
Pascal Siakam
Ben Simmons
Zach Lavine/Nikola Vucevic (if Chicago blows it up)
Gordon Hayward
Tobias Harris
Harrison Barnes?
Christian Wood?

Man, there is really not much out there.

 

Gross. You want Dame to leave.

 

Okay, think tank! Discussion question for the board. Who is/are this year's Jrue Holiday(s)? I'm really struggling to find reasonable options here...

As I see it there are likely three requirements that need to be met to find any suitable trade that might meaningfully upgrade the Blazers roster around Dame.

1. The trading team must not be a team interested in acquiring Dame for themselves (or at the very least recognize that it would be extremely unrealistic). If you think the trading team would reasonably say, "let me wait a few months because I could get Dame instead," that team and its assets are off the table.
2. The player(s) must be of significant value/fit to the resulting Blazers roster that it would make it reasonably enticing for Dame to want to give it a go with the group.
3. The trading team would need to be either moving towards getting younger/rebuilding or feel that the non-Dame assets they receive in return from the Blazers move them significantly closer to contention/playoffs (wherever they are at in the timeline).

Who are these players/teams and out of curiosity, what would your maximum, "I-won't-go-higher-than-this" offer for them be?
