The 2022 Trade Idea Thread, now with more urgency!

The thing about Randle is we’ve seen what he’s capable of. If he was consistent at it, we wouldn’t be talking about possibly getting him for CJ McCollum. Trading for him is with the confidence that Billups/Dame would get that version of him more consistently. It’s a risk, but one we probably have to take.

That said, there are other less risky fours I’m interested in. Not sure if they’re as available though. Not sure Randle is that available either. Can Thursday just be over with already?

 

Had been trying to think of CJ to the Knicks, and then using those picks with Bledsoe to get Collins. It's off by less than 250k. Damnit

 

CJ McCollum for John Collins and Kevin Huerter works.

 

ATL has no motivation to simply salary dump a very useful player like Collins for picks. If you're going that route, I'd look at Sabonis. Or ... Jerami Grant. ugh Depends on what Indy is seeking, though. We have repeatedly heard "the Vucevic" package. This is somewhat similar.

 

A lot of trades "work" money wise, that seem like a bad trade for Atlanta IMO, if I was an Atl fan I'd say Fuk no on that trade, but that's me

 

I'm probably mixing up players then, was thinking they wanted 2 picks for him. Nevermind! Although Bledsoe could be a decent fit next to Trae, adding much needed defense

 

would work for grant tho...

also if the Knicks would trade Toppin gimme.

 

It would actually work for Collins as well. Forgot that up to 19 million outgoing, you use the add 5 million, not the 125%. But sure, would explore it for Grant as well.
Noel, Fournier, Toppin, 2 picks, then those picks for Grant. Ultimately CJ(and Bledsoe) for Fournier, Toppin, Noel and Grant?

 

While there's probably some truth to that, Randle has played for multiple coaches and outside of last year this has been the knock on him everywhere he's been.

 

I don’t think anything’s going to get done.

 

I think John Collins would fit next to Dame like a glove.

 

A week ago I would have laughed..... but today I'm worried that they're going to give Cronin some ideas.

 

That sounds right up Cronin's alley!

 

WE don't think twice, but Neil thinks twice.....once for each first round pick he traded to avoid picking Collins. What a joke the Olshey is.

Some of the numbers are similar, but the efficiency/shooting for Randle is TUR'BLE. A serious brick-layer this season.

 

Would you guys trade Nurk and Ant for OG if the Raptors were down? They might want to get a third team involved because Ant isn't the best fit for them but that wouldn't matter, I'm just interested to know if any of you think that would be a good trade for us.

 

so then, the expiring 18M contract for Rubio, a player out for the season, has a lot of value. Meanwhile the expiring 13M contract for the healthy Covington, has almost no value?
