Exclusive Blazer Trade Ideas From Other Teams' Forums

It seems like Bucks fans want McCollum.

Shoot... would you guys give up CJ and Aminu/Harkless for Bledsoe and Middleton? Interesting.

From this thread, I'm not going to post the trade idea that a Blazer fan posted in it. Milwaukee gets crushed on it (they give up Middleton AND Brogdon for McCollum in a 3-team deal that sends Paul George to Portland), and Buck fans shot it down. They should have some trade ideas for McCollum once their off-season starts.

 

FORUM 2 - Knicks forum:

Trade Idea One:
POR Gets: Courtney Lee, Tim Hardaway Jr., 9th Pick
NYK Gets: C.J. McCollum

My Grade: B

My Take: I disagree with the Knicks fan, I think it'd be a decent trade. McCollum for 9 has been tossed around. Courtney Lee gives us a 3-and-D wing, and Tim Hardaway could do a decent job replacing the scoring. Getting both those guys and a top 10 pick for McCollum is pretty good value.

Trade Idea Two (Submitted April 2nd)
POR Gets: NYK 1st (#9), Joakim Noah
NYK Gets: POR 1st (#24), Maurice Harkless
*(We would have to add a little bit of salary)

Knicks fans weren't to high on this idea.

My Grade: A

My Take: Doesn't make sense for the Knicks, they should hang onto their picks and let Noah expire (most of their fans agree with that) but it makes a ton of sense for us. Noah expires at the same time Turner & Leonard do. We could potentially move to the top 5 my packaging CJ and #10, or could offer that to San Antonio for Kawhi, or we could draft someone like Bridges. Lots of options.

Trade Idea Three (Submitted April 6th)
POR Gets: Tim Hardaway Jr, Emmanuel Mudiay, CHI 2nd (#38)
NYK Gets: Maurice Harkless, Al-Farouq Aminu, POR 1st (#24)

My Grade: C-

My Take: We get a much needed bench scorer, I don't like Hardaway starting at SF, he can't defend. Mudiay is pretty bad and he's lost on me. Not interested in him. We lose both of our starting forwards though, and give up a 1st to do so. Just doesn't appeal to me.

 

Forum 3 - Chicago Bulls

POR Gets: Asik, Portis, Felicio, NOP 1st (#22)
CHI Gets: C.J. McCollum

My Grade: F-

My Take: LOL. I'm not going to post trades that are this bad. This is an example of some stuff that's out there though haha.

 

Must have been someone who escaped from the local mental asylum. Of course, that fits most residents of LA.

 

A Bucks fan posted this on Brew Hoop https://www.brewhoop.com/2018/5/2/17311324/blazers-clips-bucks-trade

Basically in a 3 team trade the Blazers would....

Get Tobias Harris, Malcolm Brogdon, Tony Snell, and Boban Marjanovic

Give up CJ McCollum and Evan Turner

I wouldn't say this is completely terrible. We would get a couple of solid players in Harris and Brogdon while getting out of Turner's contract. It would save us around $7 million next year. Personally though I'd like at least a mid 1st round draft pick too in any CJ deals.

Lineup:
Dame/Baldwin?/Napier?
Brogdon/Snell/PC?
Harkless/Aminu/Layman?
Harris/Collins/Swanigan
Nurk/Davis?/Leonard/PapaG?/Boban

We'd still have the 24th pick too so we'd have to either trade that for a future pick or drop 3 guys from the list above. There would have to be other moves involved and it would be almost impossible to both re-sign Davis and keep PapaG so one if not both of those guys would have to go. Looking at that lineup though I'm not sure I like that too much.

 

As you said, more moves would need ot be made, but this isnt a bad start.

Get that 1st as well form CJ somehow.

Then trade Boban and our two picks to try to move up in the draft? or Leonard and Boban and one pick for a guy on a smaller contract.

If we could do the above and then turn my second move over, we free up a ton of cap space and then could sign players to fill in the voids.

Only concern is signing players to fill in the void. Will they sign here and how much more than their value will they need to do so?

I like Boban and our two first to move up in the draft. Hell toss in leonard too if possible.

 

Two chances of a deal like this, slim and none.
Olshey isn’t going to trade a player of CJs caliber who is signed for another 4 years(right?) for parts and to get rid of Evan turners contract which expires in two years anyway along with a. Bunch of other shit contracts.
You would HAVE to get Middleton back.

 

Sure. If that is the only trade, but if it is step one of a several step process, how do you know it doesn't end up netting someone better than middleton in the end?

Just saying, like HE said, that other moves would have to be made, so this would not be the end all or it would be a clear..."no thanks"
With that said, I could see this being a first step to trade for assets that are more tradeble than what we currently have. Plus to free up the books to sign players. It provides ALOT more flexibility which in turn provides ALOt more options for us to explore around the league in regards to the second and third steps.

 

From RealGM
it was suggested on the trade board by a non-Blazer fan:

CJ to Philly for Markele Fultz & Robert Covington. I'd do that trade, no hesitation, but I doubt Philly would

what do people think about that one?

 

I definitely wouldn't.

 

The whole purpose of this page (I think, right @BonesJones) is to see what other teams think of our players and get a better understanding of what kind of return we could get in a CJ trade. We aren't basing it on whether or not Olshey would do it. It's also fun to laugh at other team's fans.

 

Maybe this would have been possible 3 months ago but not anymore. The only way Philly might even consider it for a second is if they get LeBron as CJ might fit better as a shooter than Fultz who needs the ball in his hands but would never see it as LeBron and Simmons would be battling over ball handling duties. Covington maybe becomes expendable in that situation too but I still doubt that one.

 

Boban is a fun player to watch but he has zero value in trades just like Meyers. Absolute best case scenario would be Leonard and Boban for Miles Plumlee (little smaller terrible contract than those two together) and no picks or something like Leonard and Boban for Joakim Noah and 37. Both of those are pretty bad though.

 

Exactly.

 

No WAY my Lakers do that deal!

 

SIGN ME UP!
And the best part is that Tobias and Boban get to stay together

 

That video is pretty awesome.

 

I’d love to get Middleton in a Blazer jersey. If we could get him AND another player, I’d be all for it.

 

OMG Fucking Brew Hoop man, they are like where we were a week ago, ha ha.

https://www.brewhoop.com/2018/5/2/17313582/simple-3-team-trade-to-get-kawhi

Basically we trade Lillard to the Spurs so Milwaukee gets Kawhi Leonard and we get Middleton and Bledsoe. I made a comment on there that this type of crap would be like us devising a trade in which we got Greek Freak for CJ and Tobias Harris from LAC or something like that.
