    I haven't watched much of Stewart, but his defensive advanced numbers don't seem great. I like the hustle that Eubanks brings, ideally, I want to swap out Nurk. And don't trust Eubanks or Stewart as our full time 5. I also don't know why Winslow and Magruder are in the deal, really. And does Detroit ant Keon with Cade and Ivey?

    Hart/filler for Gary Trent Jr

    Bring back the gunner to strengthen the second unit

    Fight me.

    Just no. Gary would not be happy to be back, and we'd be cutting the h(e)art out of the team.

    I think GTJ and GP2 would be dynamic - two specialist: a legit gunner/scorer and a disruptive defender.

    This summer Quick mentioned (before Nurk signed his extension) that Billups wants a mobile/rim-running center.

    I’m targeting Onyeka Okongwu if I’m Cronin.

    Capela isn’t going anywhere. Onyeka’s best position is at the five.

    Filler/1RP (protected) to Houston

    Kenyon Martin Jr. to Portland.

    He’s putting up 11 ppg despite an unclear role under Silas.

    He’d flourish under Billups.

    KMJ & Paul Reed are my two trade targets.

    I really like Winslow, but Watford fills the same role (and is a better player). I'd love to move Winslow for either KMJ or Reed (and pick up a backup PG on a min contract).

    I like the idea of Martin, I hate the idea of going the Olshey route of trading 1st round picks for role players.

    I agree except I think that’s what it would take and he’s only 21 — Neil traded picks for bandaids approaching 30.

    KJ has untapped potential, especially as a 3D/shotblocker.

    raptors fans discussing trading pascal for an Ant package. This may be homer of me, but I’m kind of unwilling to give up Sharpe in any deal like this:

    Giving up Simons and Sharpe is asking a lot but that is a pretty good starting five. But the bench still is weak...
    That Raptors forum is foaming at the mouth and they are just one game under 500. 100x more complaining about the roster. Sharpe is viewed highly there.

    I wouldn't give up Sharpe. Simons + Payton + a future pick, yeah....but not Sharpe

    Dame
    Hart
    Grant
    Siakam
    Nurkic

    looks pretty interesting, although it's kind of weak from the three

    Kuzma is turning into an offensive weapon and wants out, either to a contender or a big market. A legitimate 3rd/4th option on a contender imo.

    He’s a downgrade defensively but GP2 will fill a big void with his defense and will likely be utilized the same way Golden State used him: hounding pg/sg/sf

    He's a big downgrade defensively. He's also most suited for the same position as Grant. Meanwhile Hart is more efficient on offense, a bettr rebounder, and is Portland's glue guy. People underestimate the impact Hart as for Portland, IMO

    if Portland is trading Hart I'd hope for a hell of a lot better player coming in than Kuzma, or at least an obvious upgrade...which Kuzma is not. Hart for Kuzma is at best a lateral move that may actually unbalance the roster a bit
