    In a group of a bunch of Blazer fans, Meyers Leonard may be the hardest player to trade in NBA history...

    Yeah, unless @swish3 is in the league. Then you could get his best player and draft picks. I was hoping someone from another forum thought he still had potential.

    Can we get @swish3 to represent Philly in the mock draft? :)

    Why don't you play Wizard Mentor?

    sure. Give me a team (Jazz maybe?), and a due date to write up a summary, and I can do it.

    You don't do a summary, you try and make trades with the other teams and then we have the draft.

    Ha ha ha ha, the league commissioner said if we combined trades with another one and I threw in Layman it worked without having to use the TPE so officially the trade was:

    Evan Turner, Jake Layman, and #24 for Kelly Olynyk, Justise Winslow, Jerryd Bayless, Rights to Jonah Bolden, #26, and #39

    Holy crap, now I'm going to try and get 14 with the TPE!

    I think the Cavs GM would do CJ and 26 for Love and 8. My guards are SOOOOOO thin if I do that though.

    Guys I did it! I pulled off the trade of the century.

    Aminu, MEYERS LEONARD, and 39

    for

    Alec Burks and Thabo Sefolosha (Completely non-guaranteed so will be waived unless another trade opens up).

    Current Lineup:
    Dame/Baldwin/Bayless
    CJ/Burks
    Harkless/Winslow
    Collins/Bolden/Swanigan
    Nurk?/Olynyk/PapaG

    I really like that team and I still have pick #26 and the Trade Exceptions. Somehow I managed to make the team a lot better and get rid of the two bad contracts while only moving down two spots in the draft.

    Burks is absolute garbage. Gotta upgrade that backcourt off the bench still. Better financially though.

    He's better than Leonard.

    Would you guys do the CJ and 26 for Love and 8 and work out the details later? I'd still be very big heavy.

    Personally, yes, I would. Similar to the draft mantra of BPA, outside of dealing your team's best player, I think you have to maximize value when you can. Love is arguably a better player than CJ, and the 8 is undoubtedly much more valuable than the 26.

    No. Love is a shitty defender.

    Collins isn't though. And that is who he would be playing over. The lottery pick makes it interesting though.
    But can Klove stay healthy? Concussions take a toll. If I am him I stay away from contact under the rim. Is that what we want from our PF?

    I really just wanted the 8th pick. Now I am going to attempt to go after a starting SG like Beal, Middleton, or Jaylen Brown.
