    This seems like a fairly random suggestion... Has there been any creditable discussion regarding a Simons/Siakam trade?

    Why would that become the 'primary' question?

    Simons for Siakam is certainly being discussed around here and has been for a while. Obviously the Blazers would have to add more, so I added more sans Sharpe. If you don't agree with the word 'primary' in my post, imagine the post without that word....it's easy if you try, above us only sky

    The 2023 remix of the CJ/PSkills trade now includes Toronto giving up FVV for a pile of crap, nice

    Hey, keep FVV and enjoy that 35% shooting and sub-500 record... I honestly don't think anybody is jumping to take that contract, so I guess you have to hope his now-full-year of shitty shooting is just a blip.

    Not that I'm advocating trading for Noel - I would hate to see less of Drewbanks - but this is from November of '21 when Noel was on the Knicks:

    Based on a grand total of 85-minutes played.

    I'd much rather look at his career numbers. In doing so, he's a decent player trending in the wrong direction very rapidly.

    Are you talking about his Detroit numbers? That's like judging Al Horford on his OKC stats.

    Only vet big that’s rumored to be on the block (and on a rebuilding team) that would make sense is Poeltl.

    Also: Eubanks > Nerlens

    The tweet you shared was based on 85-minutes of playing time for Noel on the Knicks.
    Context is key.

    We're more likely to get Noel on the buyout market imo...

    I’d only do this if Bey was added in the Covington TPE and we add maybe a 2nd.

    I don’t want Noel at his salary. I’d rather wait for a buyout. I really don’t think teams are clamoring to get him at his current salary.

    I've been a pretty big Nerlens fan for quite some time but NO! The guy isn't as mobile as he used to be and his athleticism, size and timing on the boards and defense have always been his entire game. Now he doesn't have all of that and he's being paid the most in his career?!? No thanks!

    thoughts?

    we get legit Nurk insurance and a proven PG who is currently shooting ~40% from 3 who can be counted upon for 15-20 mpg in the playoffs when teams turn up the screws on Ant.

    upload_2022-12-14_16-10-23.png

    Pay the tax, Jody.

    Dame/ Dragic
    Ant/ GP2
    Hart/Sharpe/Nas
    Grant/Winslow
    Nurk/Collins/Watford

    If healthy, that can be a solid 10 man + rotation in the playoffs and withstand the wears and tears of high minutes.

    Solid. Not a bad alternative to Poeltl - who has a pretty absurd price tag for a soon-to-be FA.

    Incorrect. There are rumours that Orlando is about to have a fire sale and that Mo Bamba, Terrence Ross, and Gary Harris will be offered up in trades.
