    Grant would be good if, he focused on hustle/defense and didn't care about shots, like Nas.

    I think the solution to our problem is on the trade block , John Collins.

    Dame
    Ant
    Nas
    Collins
    Nurk

    That’s a balanced lineup. The question is does any combo of CJ/Norm/RoCo/Nance/Picks work to get him?

    Why don't the Hawks want him? They just gave him a big contract and are coming off an ECF appearance. Just wondering.

    From what I’ve read he doesn’t wanna be there, same situation as Reddish. Who knows but out of the 4s supposedly available (Randle, Grant, Simmons, Collins) I like Collins the most. He’s also stroking it from 3 at over 40 % this season.

    Nurkic, Simons and Covington to Minnesota for Towns?

    I’ll take either of these.

    Our 1st the Bulls own goes to Det in that trade.

    I'm not interested in Grant. He was overrated in the 2020 playoffs. How much better is he than Covington when working him into our system? We gotta trade for All Stars.

    I'd take Collins over Grant.

    Me too. But we need better than Collins. Trading good players for good players won't make much of a difference. We need All Star talent. Simmons, Randle, Brown, etc.

    That works for me but if I'm the Wolves I let that cake bake and maybe make an opportune move around the margins. Towns and Edwards are a potent combination. DLo isn't bad. They have some young promising forwards.

    Mavs lost Hardaway, time to ship them CJ.

    Who are we getting back in such a deal? Porzingis? Do they really want to move off him? We're not running a charity here.

    Collins > Randle

    I wouldn't be opposed to Collins because he could be a good insurance policy should Nurk get hurt again. I think he can play with him too. Simmons or Siakam are my preferences and we shouldn't be shy about using depth to get one.

    Towns got outplayed tonight by Nurk and we wanna throw in more? He's soft as baby shit too. Great scorer. But that may be the only thing he has on Nurk when he's engaged.

    I don't think he got outplayed really. He had 17/17 with 4 blocks and was +13 in boxscore. He is an elite level player, but considering our weak D he wouldn't make us a contender most likely. But he would surely be an upgrade.

    i think we should really explore that route. Atlanta is a bit desperate right now and Collins has not been very happy there. RoCo+Powell for Collins+Lou Williams would work cap wise. We get younger and more athletic and he is locked for 3 more years. Of course this is not enough, but it's a start. Then we have to move CJ.

    I was thinking CJ/RoCo for JC/Bogdan might work.

    It could work although it adds to Portland's Lux Tax issue and we wouldn't be doing anything to lower our surplus of guards.
    Like Collins though and at least Bog is a little bigger....although also shooting a career low from '3'.

    CHI lost DJJ last night for 2-4 months and are desperate for a PF - lets send them Roco or Nance and get our pick back
