If CJ were to be traded, who are we most likely to get?

Oh, I agree, but then again I thought he’d be gone now

 

Brilliant

 

Siakam had a "down year" - lower PER than CJ.

 

generally though his career numbers are slightly better than CJ's. But Siakam is discovering what Dame already knows: that being it's a lot harder path when defenses know you're the number 1 option on your team. All things being close to equal, a 6'9 wing will have a lot more value than a 6'3 SG

 

Siakam plays defense. If CJ played even league average defense his value would be a lot higher.

 

I think you're right when people start having these trade ideas where CJ goes to some team (like Toronto) that really wouldn't have any interest in him. I think there are teams that would like CJ a lot. I think the Sixers are one and the Knick are another. If Toronto still sees Siakam as their guy, of course we're not getting him but if he is someone they see as a way to prospects and picks then CJ to the Knicks in a three way with Toronto for Siakam is very close. We might need to add a future first.

I think you find the teams that value CJ and then either get the best you can that fits with Dame from them or find a third team with what we need.

 

Since Cleveland has been mentioned in some CJ trade talk:
CJ and DJJ for Love and Sexton

 

CJ is overvalued on all three trades, needs to be a third team involved in Toronto trade; Toronto doesn't want CJ, they draft guys like him in the second round.

 

Cleveland has two up and coming small guards who get paid a lot less than CJ; why trade one of them for CJ?

 

I think our most valuable tradeable asset (besides Lillard) is Little and he would need to be added in a CJ trade to get somebody good back.

 

I really wonder how much CJ's value was impacted by the playoffs this year. Maybe a little

but I don't believe CJ is a mystery to the rest of the NBA. They know who he is as a player since he's been the same player for 6 years. Same strengths, same weaknesses, same one-way qualities, good and bad. I don't think the rest of the NBA values him nearly as highly as he's valued in various places in Blazer nation

opposing coaches certainly don't seem to worry about him. He always draws the weaker defenders and single coverage. I've never seen a team flex their defense toward CJ like defenses are flexed toward Dame. I'd guess NBA front offices would take cues from their coaching staffs

a 33M/year player as a 6th man? Would be pretty unprecedented...?

it's going to be a conundrum because I'm about 83% convinced no new coach would consider Powell as the full-time starter at SF. Of course, it may be the new coach won't have that option

 

from what I've read it sounds like Sexton's teammates are really fed up with his selfishness. He's a mini-MeJ on crank

 

CJ is essentially Jamal Crawford peaking in an era that's better optimized for Jamal Crawford-type skills.

Crawford has played on 9 different teams now. It's kind of crazy that CJ is still on his first team at this point.

 

It's pretty hard to read what they are doing in Toronto. Have you seen anything from management that would clear it up?

 

Because the league recognized that Crawford was a bench guy. A spark off the bench. Our team has been stubborn as hell in admitting that CJ shouldn't be a starting two guard.

 

That is ridiculous and a massive overpay. Who is giving him that bag?

 

Idk if it’s been posted here, too lazy to browse, but Jabari Young, who covers San Antonio, said the spurs like CJ. He also mentioned Miami and the Clippers (for George)

I still think a Ben Simmons/CJ trade makes the most sense, for both teams.
