    That's an easy yes for me, but can't see Sacramento doing it.

    I do think he would have a career year next to Embiid. He's uber talented.

    I would try to swing 9 to Toronto to pick up Siakam.

    Don't see Sac doing that though. There is a very clear difference between Hield and CJ, but it's not Barnes + 9.

    If that was possible then Sacramento would do it and we wouldn't get this trade.

    If they don't want to give us Barnes, then:

    ...but we'd have to really like the player we're targeting at #9. And I don't trust Olshey with picks in that range (Meyers, Zach)...

    i would do that. It has a similar feel to my three team idea with CHA/IND yesterday. Get a starter level player and a lotto pick for CJ that we then use to land another impact player like Siakam.

    If Norm is here, I don't give a shit about getting Buddy Hield. We already have the CJ replacement apparent in Norm and the backup in Ant. So that's just not a piece I'm interested in.

    how about just CJ for Barnes and #9. If Norm re-signs there's no reason for Hield

    Hmm. I think I like CJ better than that. Barnes is a solid enough role-player but
    (a) Buddy can get super-hot and get you points in bunches, and
    (b) Part of the point is to stop the Lakers getting Buddy!

    I wouldn't ever make a move for a player at a position that we are stacked up at (scoring guard) to block the Lakers. That is some short sited shit. Focus on doing what we do and especially on keeping Dame, not on potential Lakers moves.

    I would be cool with Barnes, Wright and #9 for CJ, if we either have a second trade partner that will take the ninth pick to help us upgrade a help now position or we have identified someone at #9 that would help us right now.

    I don't know if what Sac has moves the needle in the way that would make Dame stay but I think we have until at least mid season to prove that to him.

    Nice one. solves a few problems with legit 4 and true backup PG. Though like others have said I am also wary of trusting Olshey with a top 10 pick. Has to get it right this time.

    Suggs should go ahead of Green. Might not. We’ll see.
