2021 Trade Thread

Barnes? Nah
Gordon? Yes
Fournier? Maybe?
Hill? Yes
Redick? Don’t see the fit, same with Ellington.

 

Seems to be more activity this year than usual. Typically most if not all trades happen on deadline day.

 

Teams were clearly waiting for the big Meyers Leonard deal to open the flood gates!

 

Ouch. He was always a thorn in our side when we played Denver.

 

I'd take Barnes.

 

Nice trade for both teams.

 

Portland would have full Bird Rights on Collins, and early Bird on Rondo the following summer

Portland is hard-capped this season because they used the full-MLE on Jones. If they would have signed him for the amount of the tax-MLE (using the standard MLE) or less, they wouldn't be hard-capped. A team also gets hard-capped if they use the BAE or accept a player in a sign & trade deal

otherwise a team can not only exceed the the tax line, they can go over the apron which is 6 million above the tax line

 

I don’t want Covington traded he’s a glue type player that every team needs. Seems to always come up big at end of games little things make the big differences come playoff time.

sorry I know this is random just saw him included in some trades

 

If we could get Gordon and Hill that would be phenomenal. I think the more realistic option to get a big PG that can defend both guard spots to back up Dame and CJ might be MCW in a Gordon trade. If Neil has made the determination that he wants CJ and not Gary then this trade should work for both sides. Then we'd have two or even three spots for the buyout market.

 

We would need a shooter in buyout if we do that trade. Unless Elleby is ready.

 

I wonder if Orlando would trade Mo Bamba

 

dude, he's trash. i was high on him too and saw the few minutes he played during garbage time and he's a ways away. has no skill whatsoever

 

That contract Olshey gave Hood is bad in terms of value on the court, but can be valuable in all those trade scenarios. Without that we wouldn't have much chance to do anything.

 

George Hill would be a perfect pickup

 

I think I saw it's now up to 32 picks for OKC over the next 6 years. In this age of spin-off TV shows, I can only imagine they're planning on spinning off a separate team.

 

I remember how valuable RLEC was supposed to be (Raef Lafrentz Expiring Contract)

won't have trade value if it's not traded

my guess is the "best value" may be checking to see who Hood's agent is, then looking at that agent's client list

 

The only way I include RoCo in a trade is if a legit All-Star (not a fringe AS) is coming to Portland in return.
