    Normally I'd be with you, but that's almost precisely what Durant did this summer. (~70M vs. 100M)

    Heild is a straight up bust and they already had the same crap player in McLemore. 3 Picks, Harkless and Ezili can fast-track a cheap rebuild.

    Boogie is no Durant in thinking. If not traded Boogie was signing that 219 MIL and taking the extra 100 MIL. Now though, if traded he stands to lose a lot (of money) but maybe win more games. Durant would take that trade off in a heartbeat. Boogie is kind of ambivalent.

    So you think that Indiana might be as ready to blow it up as Chicago. Well, they are only at about .500, only one game ahead of Chicago.

    OK, this trade will get rid of three longer term contracts of Al Jefferson, Monta Ellis and Thadeus Young. Give them three guys 22 or younger in Harkless, Vonleh and Okafor (or whoever a club like Philadelphia with lots of cap space will give for Crabbe). Plus however many draft picks it takes. This trade might actually be better than the one with Chicago as I think Portland could make better use of Young and Ellis than of Wade and Rondo.
    Indiana might want to use Young in another trade; I think he has positive value, so we could take Stuckey and either CJ Miles or Lavoy Allen off their books.

    LOL. Calling a highly touted college player a bust after half a season is laughable.

    good job, you made a four way trade with all teams racking up more losses. BTW, I and another guy want to know how to make that trade machine page come up like that instead of just having a clickable link.

    What would our three firsts and Crabbe get us? Could we be in the convo for someone like Butler and George? I mean everyone's going on and on how deep this draft is.

    Why trade for Butler/George when you have Hark... i'd rather put hark in the deal (even though i like hark more than crabbe, maybe it saves a first found pick from the price)

    I think thats more than enough for butler. I think thats actually too much. To me PG is better, but it might be to much for him too. Any star PF's on the market?

    I hereby apologize if I ever said any fan trade wasn't realistic.

    That smells like an Olshey type of move.

    As for Butler; Harkless, Ezeli, and three firsts. GET. IT. DONE.

    Could be money saving move in a 3-Team trade as a replacement for Davis or Aminu should we trade either of them away in a separate deal.

    And you know in an ideal world Chicago would rather deal Butler out west than to the fucking Boston Celtics.
