Trade Idea Realistic trade options for summer of 2023

you dont want to see a player from your team acting like that, especially after he played like trash and their opponent is fucking them up

0% of profesionalism

 

The expectation of players to be robots, essentially, are some of the dumbest takes I see.

 

Wow!!

 

Alright. I admit it. I'm an alien from another galaxy. Just what is that exactly, and what exactly am I supposed to infer from whatever that is?

 

Looks like some humans having a good time???

 

I'd think the teams could just do it as a sign and trade in July?

 

The only realistic thing in this thread, imho, is Draymond. I don't want him but I could see Cronin going after him. Bridges is simply not realistic.

 

I had a dream we traded Sharpe and the 2nd overall pick for Bridges. I would fucking puke if that was the basis of a trade.

 

That, my friend, wasn't a dream. That's what we call a nightmare.

 

I might be done with the team if they did that. At least until we had new ownership. That would kill any excitement about the team.

 

Sadly I could see the franchise doing that.

Other possibilities I could see is our lottery pick for DeRozen, yuck. Or trading for Draymond and giving him an extension. Just a lot of bad options out there.

I just hope the franchise doesn't trade away multiple future years of picks unprotected as well. None of these moves will make Portland a contender, gutting the future for such a futile poor attempt to win now would be extremely depressing.

Seeing Sharpe become an all-star for another franchise will be worse than the Jermaine O'Neal trade. At least that roster was 15 minutes from the finals and a legit contender.

 

for some reason (maybe the last CBA) I was thinking that the salary of a S&T couldn't be aggregated with other salaries in a trade. But I see that's not the case. I don't think the poison pill provision, what is left of it, would apply either

that would still be a damn shitty return for Dame. I'd think the Blazers might do better than that

and I still say "better then that" is Portland becoming a bad team for 2 or 3 or 4 years and having lottery luck. That's the only way they can have a decent shot at landing and elite player.

By the way, and this surprised me, Johnson is already 26 years old. He's got upside for sure, but maybe not as much as I think

 

I think we'll end the off season with having traded every pick we can (including somehow freeing up future picks by giving the Bulls something guaranteed). I think the result will be a starting lineup of:

Dame, Shae, OG, Jerami and KAT with Matisse, Flynn, TPMLE big and Trendon coming off the bench with 43rd pick, Mays, Jabari, Knox and other young guys fighting for minutes.

Nurk, Keon and a bundle of first rounders for OG and Flynn

Ant, Nas and our first rounder (probably top 4) for KAT

 

a "bundle" of first rounders for OG? as long as a bundle is 2 first's, both lottery protected...ok. No more than that...he's overrated IMO, especially by Toronto if the reports are true. But at least he has a contract commensurate with his talent

and I don't think there's any way at all Seattle agrees to re-signing Grant AND trading for KAT. By the way, in the two playoff games before tonight KAT had a PER of -0.4; a TS% of .368; a winshare/48 of -0.307; and a BPM of -13.3. Yikes! Do Not Want

 

I would be the most angry I’ve ever been as a fan if we traded all our future picks for that crap lineup. Absolutely disgusting.

 

It would be a lot of fun for the preseason and first 5 games of the season until we all start to fully realize the lineup will never contend. Then we just have to wait 7 years to get our picks back.

Sounds pretty realistic for the Jody/Kolde/Cronin 3 headed monster management we are blessed with.

 

Just trying to keep it real.

 

it would be a catastrophic trade to let sharpe and #2 for mikal. sharpe is gunna be great!
