    I had said this a while ago but with Portland adding a little extra and Sabonis, instead of Turner going to Toronto. Same philosophy. This trade would be sexy.

    That was Pincus' exact same narrative about CJ when he said we'd have to add assets to move him.

    Pincus is a hack.

    Siakam has averaged 24.5 points, 10.0 rebounds and 6.6 assists in his last 10 games and 16 steals and 6 block in that stretch. Would take at least a first rounder from both Indiana and Portland I think.

    OK, I really want Siakam and people are saying we need to get rid of two of Anf, CJ and Powell. CJ to Indiana, Anf, Turner and Warren to Toronto, Siakam to Portland. No draft picks,

    Could tinker with that a little and add McConnel from Indiana to us and Smith to them. Or would be better financially and more palatable for Indiana if we sent Covington to them and got back McConnel

    They MIGHT get that return for Sabonis, not Turner. And even that is a bit steep. If their asking price is leaking to the media, good luck actually getting it.

    Before Reddish was traded to the Knicks for essentially peanuts, multiple sources were reporting the asking price from ATL was a lottery pick or nothing short of Ben Simmons.

    Houston leaked that the asking price for Eric Gordon is a first.

    All this is just canvasing the league for offers, and and attempts to increase value via the media. These efforts are rarely fruitful in drumming up the kind of return these teams expect.

    I bet INdy is looking at the return Orlando got for Vuc, and just going slightly under with Turner. Vuc got 2 picks and a good young player in Carter. All it takes is one desperate and stupid team...

    Apparently inflation isn't just food, gas, etc. It's also these ridiculous fucking asks from these moron GMs.

    Fischer has been saying for a month now that the return for Vuc is what they seek for sabonis

    Or if Covington gives assurance he will re-sign with Portland, I trade Nance instead of him.
    Lillard/ McConnell
    Powell/ MacNamara (probably try to sign a free agent here)
    Little/Roco
    Siakam/Roco
    Nurk/?/Watford

    RoCo for Bagley/FRP

    That (protected) FRP for Bamba

    That is Orlando’s asking price.

    Good, I appreciate the feedback. For me Siakam is a great two way player. He is a star to match with Lillard. I think CJ has very little overall value so for me I am getting Siakam, an established star with size and length for a just blooming one way star in Anf. As everyone says, Lillard needs help now. Siakam, for me, is by far the best player in this deal, and if you get the best player you usually win the deal.

    BTW Siakam is just 27, hitting his peak years.
