The 2022 Trade Idea Thread, now with more urgency!

I wouldn't have a problem with it, either. I don't think he'd jeopordize the tank, but he might. He found ways to contribute here that eluded him in his other stops.

 

They love useless centers like the Blazers love backup combo guards.

 

Mavs trade makes no sense. So they gonna start 3 PG's next to each other. Bertans sucks. I guess Punchable face Powell gets a boost in minutes.

 

I'd love Enes back, but the Blazers are tanking.

 

This is ridiculous, without the trade the Blazers could easily resign Simons.

The Blazers could've traded Roco for assets like the Spurs got for Thad or let him walk at the end of the year.

The Blazers could've traded Norm for assets like the Wizards got with Dinwiddle, or trade him in the summer, or just left his reasonable contract on the roster next year.

None of those outcomes cost the Blazers a chance to resign Simons.

 

The CJ trade IS our Gerald Wallace trade. Better hope it conveys this year.

 

Have you seen Freedom play lately? He doesn't help win games. In fact, he helps lose them. He's perfect for us.

 

Sweet. Tear up the roster to overpay a young player who has proven himself for maybe 12 games of solid play.

Sounds like an Olshey play. Allan Crabbe and Meyers Leonard on line 1

 

Why would KP have anything against our front office? The owner that fired him died, and literally everyone else is gone except the interim GM who KP himself managed, is proud of, and publicly endorsed.

 

I get tanking, but you also get to a point where it doesn't help your younger players develop if they are playing out of position or not close to roles that they'd play in a real competitive situation.

So fine, let Nurk sit with a phantom injury so he's not hurt going into next year, but get a center that's like a Great Value Nurk so you aren't forcing Ant to do things that won't help him next year and develop bad habits or having GB3 get shoved into the fifth row trying to guard real centers. You can get players who still will lose games for you while simulating an actual team.

 

Reposting now that the deadline is over...

Cap Studs: looking for a favor...

I was wondering if one of you guys would start a new thread post-deadline showing the net effect of all of these trades, personnel-wise, pick-wise, and cap-wise.
thanks in advance, The Real Wiz

 

Grudges aren't rational. He has rebuffed us on more than one occasion.

 

I don't get that; Porzingis was having a really great year. He sure killed us when we played them.

 

He didn't get along with their superstar. It's likely that simple

 

I'm convinced that whole "KP won't trade with Portland" narrative is bullshit spin that Olshey floated to deflect from blame for him not using CJ in an offer for Paul George.

If Portland was offering the best deal, I think KP would have accepted, especially considering the Blazers are in the other conference

 

I cannot wait for this one...

 

I wonder if any of our trash ass reporters are gonna ask real questions, or a bunch of softballs.

 

From Olshey? The hell you say....
