    How about this one - throw in picks to Thunder, as well.

    Big trades like this are fun to play around with but they absolutely never happen. (The closest I can think of is the one that moved around Vin Baker, Shawn Kemp and Tyrone Hill + Terrell "Pride of Portland" Brandon.)

    I’d hate to quit on Ant, but I’d do the trade

    Why would TWolves trade KAT for Simmons while they already have Russell and Edwards that like to handle the ball? I don't see a way they are interested.

    Brogdon hasn't been a good defender the past couple years. That part of his game fell off when he got more responsibility.

    I honestly think Pelicans would see this as underpay for Ingram

    My problem with our "upside" guys is that we always treat them as high upside valuable guys when we discuss trades here, but our team is not actually using them more than 20 mins. And it's not that we are a top5-6 team or a legit contender. Actually we are very far from it which means those guys should find more playing time. Just lately in his third year it seems we realised maybe Little deserves to play more. And even if RoCo is a damn mess Little doesn't find that many minutes. Yet we think they are valuable as trade chips.

    That was with an old coach though. billups has noted several times he likes littles hustle and play.
    Trade roco and little gets the minutes we both think he should have. :)

    I think we will be very active before the trade deadline and we do have assets to wheel and deal with.
    This is where Chauncey will put in his order fro certain players or types of players.

    Ingram is an upgrade over CJ for sure, upside with Little is nice but upside isn’t proven.

    Dame/Simons
    Powell
    Ingram
    RoCo/Nance
    Nurk/Zeller

    Thats^ a better roster

    I’d try to package Nurk/RoCo for an upgrade at 4 or 5 and start Nance

    Chauncey said Ingram shoulda been the 1st pick in his draft class.

    Provided Coach plays (eventually starts) Nas THIS YEAR, I would tend to agree. But a CJ straight across for Ingram seemed a little underpaying. If we play Nas, let’s then go for a Center. I’m liking the play of Nance lately. He could very well be our starting PF, so let’s do what I’ve been asking since August:

    CJ + Nurkic + 1st
    For
    KAT and Beverly

    If the Blazers had KAT and Beverly, would you trade them for CJ & Nurkic?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Hey, that's not fair--you have to consider fit in sizing up trades. CJ obviously doesn't fit in Portland alongside Lillard and Powell. So Portland gets the big man and Minnesota gets the scoring guard to go along with *checks* Anthony Edwards and DeAngelo Russell...........

    I like Little way too much to part with. I’d rather deal Simons because we have enough small guards and while I like Simons I think his skill set is the most easy to duplicate in the NBA
