The 2022 Trade Idea Thread, now with more urgency!

CJ still has value, there are less than 30 players in the league that average 20 a night, and most of them aren’t available in trades. And you’re also attaching Ant and Nance both who are valuable assets in their own right. That’s a ton to give up for a guy like Siakam. That’s the type of package you see for superstars, and he isn’t on that level, and I say that as someone that likes him. Most metrics grade him out as a top 40ish player this season.

 

I attached Nance (or Covington if he indicates he won't stay) because I don't think we will need both of them if Siakam is here and I have always liked McConnel. Also saves almost $3 million on the cap. But I understand that you and I have different values on both CJ and Siakam. I still think best player wins.
Anyone else have an opinion? @TBpup @James lamphear @hoopsjock Here is the trade again. Can substitute Covington for Nance if wished, Also can do it without trading either and not getting McConnell back. http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y6vlkpzd

 

That's OK too, I just like Siakam better.

 

We could sure try, but i think Siakam is going to be expensive! I think he would have been cheaper last year.

 

CJ/Nance/Simons/DSJ for Siakam/McConnell? That seems like a lot to give up. Our best young player, a bucket getter, a glue guy and a decent backup PG for a very good PF.

I like Siakam and think he would be a very good fit with Dame, but but that seems like a lot.

 

they're delusional. ain't nobody paying that for a RFA who was a bust except for like half of a season.

 

What about the simplified version? (Now I forgot what it is!) It's basically Anf and CJ for Siakam, same three teams.

 

They are desperately in need of a 'big'. I think they would prefer something built around Nurk coming back. There is also some rumor of them being willing to move OG because they think Scottie Barnes is the real deal. I'd be interested in what you could come up with involving some of those names.

 

you don’t trade Ant nor Little at this time. What if Dame (the old Dame) is no more? Post surgery that is. Then you must move on and not extend Dame at a crippling +$50 mil a year. Instead build around our young guys out there hustling - Ant, Little, even Watford. Move CJ / Nurkic / Zeller / Nance / Powell / and possibly Dame. The Neil OLSHEY days must be eradicated - it’s quite honestly a mess.

 

If the Blazers can't get Simmons, Siakam is the next big thing. Simmons goes nowhere but a deal centered around CJ + Roco or Nance plus change is all good with me.

 

I don't know. At this point I don't think Toronto wants to trade Siakam at all. They are talking about a core of 6-7 players and I think he is the center of that core. Guy had 18 points, 10 assists, 5 steals, 6 rebounds, 1 block last night, who would want to lose him?

Good stuff here.

Pistons offered Grant, Bey, Olynyk and a first for Ben Simmons.

Detroit looking for two firsts or a first and a young player for Grant. I’m interested where the Grant Domino falls, since it probably affects the market for RoCo. But I’m out on Grant. Don’t need his scoring.

 

ya no thanks. I'd rather let Nas blossom into a similar player

 

My trade idea is simple:
Trade CJ and obtain Siakam, Simmons, or Sabonis...
Without giving up Dame, Nas, or Ant,
while staying under the Luxury Tax Threshold.

I have no idea whether this is possible at all.

 

Does this mean I don’t have to read any more Turner proposals? Probably not, but maybe hopefully.

 

what is a stress reaction? im guessing it's not as bad as a "fracture."

on the contrary, i think this could reduce his trade value and he could help us tank this year if he sits out for an extended period.

 

idk I’m not a doctor but it looks like he’s gonna be out beyond the deadline.

 

Let’s buy low on Myles and sit him the rest of the year to heal up + help the tank
