Siakam - would love it, but we don't have the pieces unless we are comfortable giving up Nurk +Simons AND Sharpe. (Which Portland wouldn't do.) Siakam/Birch for Nurk/Simons/Sharpe works, but....no chance. OG - would love that too and this one is at least somewhat more likely, although Portland seems quite the longshot to get OG because we don't have 1st round picks. Nurk/Simons/ie GB3 for OG/Birch/Boucher works Vando - by far the most likely, although other teams have inquired as well. Vanderbuilt for Winslow is almost dead even salary wise. Portland would have to throw in a 2nd or two.
Would love that. Bey still has a lot of potential, but I can't see the Pistons giving him up (+ Winslow) for Hart/Winslow.
And that is why he is available. I just don't think Hart/Winslow gets it done with Noel also coming back. Would love it if that happened.
blink 182…what a run. I just come to look at trade info and it’s annoying having to scroll through people arguing
TORONTO - Raptors forward O.G. Anunoby will not be in the lineup when Toronto hosts the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday.
Due to his wrist injury.....but it is convenient timing for a player rumored to have so much interest.
Ok would you Simon’s/ Hart/ other player not named Sharpe and maybe picks or pick swaps For OG/Trent Jr I know we’d probably need to add pieces but better balance to our roster and makes us way better defensively. We’d have to negotiate something with Chicago to make pick unprotected. Not sure I’d do this I wouldn’t want to give up Simons I thinks offensively he’s a special talent
If New Jersey really wants Siakam, I think it's more likely they get him than us. What if Toronto just really wanted to shake things up, keep their two best young players in Barnes and Anunoby and get rid of an expiring and a couple dead contracts? Toronto gets Claxton, Dinwiddie, Simmons, Curry and Finney-Smith. Give up Siakam, Boucher. Trent, Young and Porter. Does New Jersey need to give up a draft pick also? I think those recently acquired Jersey players would have to be traded separately and alone but I think there are matching salries.
According to The Athletic (subscription required), Nerlens Noel is wanted by up to 6 teams, but they didn't list Portland as one of them. "The Celtics are one of six teams that have called the Detroit Pistons to inquire about big man Nerlens Noel, The Athletic's James L. Edwards III reported Sunday. The Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers, Denver Nuggets, Dallas Mavericks and Sacramento Kings are the other known suitors, per Edwards."
$131M between this and next season. Definitely not inconsequential. The team is worth a lot but on an annual basis not many teams want to spend that much money. Wiseman is going to go somewhere potentially and be a steal.
Any reason why you remain so high on him? He has looked like a colossal bust every time i have seen him. Feels like he kinda slipped thru the cracks in the 2020 draft with his injury in college and insufficient scouting cuz of covid. Had he been thru the regular scouting process, i dont think he would have gone lotto.
