Trade Idea Will CJ get traded by the deadline?

I wonder if cronin is planning a total rebuild around simons.

 

WTF is the deal with Ben Simmons? Can we please do CJ and Nance? It doesn't look like Philly is getting anyone to bite.

 

Morey ain't budging on this one. It's a risky position: Is Embiid enough to get to the finals? I really don't know. He is playing lights out that's for sure. But, as we know, 7 game series are a whole nuther ball o wax.
There is no question, however, any mid/top tier player (but not talking superstars, of course) is better than nothing to help the team. Certainly CJ would help the team. At this point Simmons can't really suit up for them; I think Embiid loathes him at this point TBH. It's just a great big mess if you ask me. Should the Sixers not make a deal and they have an early-mid exit in the playoffs it's all on Morey if you ask me. Fire his ass. Injury-prone Embiid could go down for an extended period so I would argue strike while Embiid is hot and just make a deal already. Is there a GM with a bigger ego than Morey? Not one without rings...

 

he’d probably know what they’re clearing money for.

 

(referring to a Knicks package)

Much more likely to get a pick(s) from New Orleans. In fact, from the bits I've heard, the Pels are willing to throw in more picks to be able to keep all the players they want. The problem that creates, it is would take 4-5 players to equal CJ's salary given who they want to keep. Doesn't seem realistic as Portland doesn't have the roster spots. It would have to be a 3-way, or the Blazers would have to send out a 3-1 deal for someone like a Bagley first that wouldn't require much talent going to the Kings, then have room to take back who the Pels are trying to unload albeit with more picks. (possibly 3)

 

Isn't CJ's girlfriend from NY ? I bet the Blazers will do a deal with the Knicks and send him to a place he wants to go. Same with Powell

 

CJ would be GREAT in New York. Media savvy, well spoken, and will put up a bunch of points.

 

So they want to keep Valanciunas? Valanciunas and Hart work by themselves if they want to throw in lots of picks.

 

CJ to Pels for 1st/Hayes/Hart/Expiring

Nurk/Filler/2nd rounder to ATL for Collins

Dame/1st
Ant/Hart
Little/Keon
Collins/Nance
Hayes/1st

More balanced but less talented?

 

I doubt that's even a Playoffs Team. And if they somehow make the Playoffs, they'd get knocked out in the 1st round

 

Why on EARTH would Atlanta give up Collins for CJ?

The answer is: obviously they wouldn't.

 

I agree. I'd be happy for him and them. They always suck no matter what, so they couldn't really blame him, and he'd get to play in the Garden.

 

(Trade works without Temple, and that's better for us, so just mentally drop him if you like.)
The thing is, taking on Hayes with his legal troubles after the Chauncey firestorm? But so long as we get Hart, I'm okay with NO.
PLAYERS WE WILL ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY NOT GET FROM NEW ORLEANS SO JUST GIVE UP HOPING:
Zion
Ingram
Jones
Valanciunas

 

Atlanta; I do not believe they will trade Collins. If they want CJ they are in win now mode.

New York; If you don't like Randle (and I don't), they have nothing to offer us.

Pelicans: Best choice. Don't forget they have quite a few draft picks and those Laker picks are looking better now than earlier. I think we need to involve Houston as third team and get Christian Wood. Their owner is notoriously stingy and I think he wants to tank for multiple years. I think he will deal for dollar savings and very young assets.

 

Yeah, not going to happen unless they immediately move him. Kid can play though.
