Trade Ideas Thread

The Pacers and KP just became one of our best trade partners when Olshey got canned and KP's hire and protege was promoted to interim GM. I do not think that KP will do Cronin any favors at the detriment of the Pacers but we're way over here in the Western Conference and they're over there in the East. If the deal makes sense for KP and Buchanan (who is such a good friend that he was the first person Cronin called for advice when getting the promotion), in my opinion they'll do it with Cronin easier than any other executive in the league.

Also if Morey doesn't deal Simmons by the trade deadline and Simmons doesn't play he will get killed by the Philadelphia media and Sixers fan base for not getting a contending team a huge amount of talent that could possibly mean the difference between getting beat in the first round and contending for a championship.

 

Still Pritchard got from this organization so it might not matter who the GM is dealing with us. But I might be wrong we will see. I don't Morey really cares what the media have to say but the owner will have to look at it if he the right man to the 76'ers so just might cost him job if he don't and if the 76ers get bounce in the 1st round.

 

I've never put much credit in the idea that Kevin Pritchard would not deal with Portland. In my view it was always another excuse for Olshey not doing anything. And I never heard about it till after word got out that Olshey held CJ untouchable in trade discussions for Paul George

I think KP would deal with Portland now, and in the past, if the Blazers made a good offer. I think that's especially true with Paul Allen being long gone

 

As said before we will see in another month and half.

 

we'll probably see what Cronin can do. That won't tell us anything about what Pritchard would or would not be willing to do. We might not even have any idea of what Cronin is actually offering for whomever if no trade takes place

 

Like I said trading CJ for Porzingis would be good for both teams. Hes much better than Nurk at the 5 and he can play the 4. He doesn't turn the ball over either.

 

Who in here wouldnt trade CJ for Porzingis?
Go on record.....

 

I would teach myself to do a backflip if that trade went down. Not a hope in hell.

 

might be less likely now but a while back zinger was wanting a trade as he and Doncic weren't getting along.
Ive always felt he's about as close to an allstar that you could get for CJ.

 

I wouldn’t have a problem with this trade. It does kinda make sense for both teams it just doesn’t move the needle much.

 

If you were Dallas would you trade Porzingis for CJ straight across?
I wouldn't.

 

Perhaps other players/picks would need to be involved. But I’m sure they can make something work.

 

Porz seems like a complete player. Does things we wish Nurkic could do.
Makes no sense to trade a guy like that for a ball-dominant, one-dimensional player.
Thanks Neil, please burn in hell.

 

The guy is injury prone, but if I'm Cuban and he and Doncic don't get along id trade him. Of course you’d want as good s player you can get. Ive heard they would like another scorer in the back court that can handle the ball and Doncic a break from dominating the ball. CJ is perfect for that role.

 

Porzingis plus Kleber plus Brunson for CJ, Nurk and Simons. Saves us $4 million also.

 

An injury prone big man in Portland? Unheard of...
If Dallas was willing I'd do that deal in a NY minute.

 

You’d probably have to include RoCo some way.

 

It's possible . Add him and they add Bojan and Sterling Brown (a second rounder who hasn't produced much). Both those guys have this year and next on their contracts so
Dallas might be happy to get rid of them.

 

Man, the scuttlebutt is too quiet right now. No big rumors, or anything out there. Maybe it's because of the Holidays, and the Covid surge, but you'd think the Media Lips would hear something juicy is in the works. Very weird. Hopefully the quiet means moves ARE in the works, and soon. Waiting till the Feb. deadline seems silly. Get the moves done, and build some chemistry.

 

It would be fun to see what Doncic would do after CJ dribbles for 15 seconds and forces up a shot, repeatedly.
