The 2022 Trade Idea Thread, now with more urgency!

He's 30.

And doesn't have nearly the kinda NBA miles that most 30 yr olds do. This isn't some decrepit has been that we need to dump. Good Lord.

 

Especially if that pick projects to be in the mid 20s.

 

It seems to be a good team to trade CJ; there are at least a couple teams that need someone like him bad.

 

yeah a two way swap wouldnt really interest me, but they could get creative and include a third team. For example if they expanded it to include the Pistons. They can send CJ to Cleveland and Powell to Detroit. Get back Grant, Okoro, and a pick. Something like that.

 

Well, it's certainly too little SALARY.
Also: doesn't that depend on the first?

 

Gimme:

To understand the impact Kenrich Williams has for his team, let’s simply take a look at how the Thunder have played when he is on the court. Oklahoma City has been outscored by 7.3 points per 100 possessions so far this season, which ranks as the second-worst mark in the Western Conference.

However, when Williams appears, Oklahoma City has actually outscored opponents by 1.94 points per 100. Their defense allows 12.6 fewer points per 100 possessions when he is playing relative to when he is not, the team forces turnovers significantly more often when he’s not compared to when he isn’t, and opponents are also shooting marginally worse both at the rim and on 3-pointers when he is on the floor.

Williams has shown he can guard the ball handler or the big man when defending the pick and roll and he is an excellent hustle player, too, which can help a team significantly down the stretch.

Among those who have logged as many minutes as he has so far this season, only two players (Kyle Lowry and Garrison Mathews) have taken more charges per 36 minutes. He is also the type of player who will never let a possession die, gladly doing whatever it takes to record more and more offensive rebounds to help give his team second-chance opportunities:



Meanwhile, for the second season in a row, according to Cleaning The Glass, Williams’ assist percentage ranks in the 80th percentile or better among forwards. For the third season in a row, meanwhile, his assist-to-usage ratio (which measures how often a player gets an assist relative to how often he had the ball) ranks in the 90th percentile or better among players at his position.

This suggests Williams is the kind of low-usage player who can slot in well to a lineup without needing the ball while still having a positive impact on the game.

 

Trent Jr. is on some kinda tear recently, and that's just the offense. I am happy for him and the fact that he is not stuck on the bench behind CJ. WTF did Portland trade him for another guard. Just another Neil Oshley classic...

I wholeheartedly believe next years starting 5 will be Dame, Ant, CJ, Nas, and Nurk.

 

I want CJ gone. He needs to be gone. Portland needs him gone

but Rubio and a 20th +/- pick isn't nearly enough. That wouldn't work anyway. Now if it was CJ for Cleveland's pick + Osman with Rubio's expiring contract shipped to a 3rd team that needs some cap relief, next season, and that team sends a decent player to Portland PLUS a pick, then maybe. Of course, I have no idea if there is any situation like that around the NBA

 

The Trent trade was a huge L. He would be perfect next to Dame. Hopefully Cronin is smarter.

 

Looking like Afflalo 2.0.

 

Really wanted to see him at SG with Dame but seems that ship's sailed.

 

Annoyingly quiet with only 9 days until the deadline.

 

I have no idea why you say this. Can't grade the Trent trade until he signs a contract. If he gets a "CJ contract", then big win for us.

 

he just signed?

 

oooops!

 

gotcha.
