    not really...the deadline is coming up and he'll bring the biggest impact player in a trade of anyone not named Dame....it happens all the time...New Orleans traded Chris Paul....Grizz traded Pau Gasol for his chubby little brother...if you can get a Greek Freak for CJ you do it. If you can get Anthony Davis for CJ...you do it..even Babe Ruth got traded...in those days that was like trading MJ

    In this situations, yes. CP3 demand a trade, is different.

    RipCityDSCPL Could be worse, at least it's not Lonzo.

    You'd take the risk of having to play a pissed off CJ four or 5 times a season in our division until his contract expires for a rental of PG?

    Really?

    I need the 'experts' to assess this trade;

    http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=ybrb6gu2

    Starting Lineup

    PG Walker
    SG Dame
    SF Kidd Gilgrist(or Turner)
    PF Collins
    C Nurk

    Bench

    PG Dame
    SG Connaughton/Lamb
    SF Turner( or Kidd Gilgrist)/Harkless
    PF Davis/Vonleh
    C Leonard

    If Walker is able to play SG you can flip flop him and Dame.

    I know zilch about salary cap and how it works so go easy if it totally sucks.

    (It sucks doesn't it?):smiley-frown:

    Wasn't a Fultz/Saric deal being kicked around by people like Bill Simmons? If Fultz doesn't have a broken shot and can play sg and saric sf I'd totally do that deal.

    And get what back? I'd doubt they'd want Shabazz as they'd be going into a full rebuild.

    First off, CJ is not as good as Dame. Come on. I love CJ too man but to give this team balance again, he needs to be the sacrifice

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I assume that bit meant in the off-season.

    I don't think I want to think about the lack of floor spacing when you subtract CJ and add MKG + Kemba...

    Sure I will Take Giannis or AD for CJ, but I assume he was talking about trading CJ for average players, not the top players in the NBA. We have a better chance of getting another Giannis in the draft #15 where he was taken originally, then trading for him now.

    To me this is a crap shoot and Giannis is a proven player...and in reference to this trade deadline.....I'm speculating trades now....not offseason draft picks...we're already really young

    Oh I agree it is a crapshoot. So is the top of the lottery. I am just saying there is no way we are getting Giannis or AD for CJ.

    If you don’t think this trade is likely, I have two words for you: Shabazz Napier.
