    MEM is tough because they don't have big contracts and have a lot of value guys who they wouldn't necessarily want to trade all together...but

    POR: Brooks, Adams, Anderson, Clarke

    MEM: CJ, Covington, maybe a pick

    As For ATL

    Gallinari, Reddish, and Bogdanovich for CJ and Covington would work numbers wise

    Porz has been mentioned not sure Id want him but he would fill a need. The salaries work I believe.

    Yeah, I saw that. Hated it. Not least because it helps the Mavs.

    Yeah, I'd like him to be traded east if possible. Don't want to help other western conference teams get better.

    Breaking my rule again, but only in letter, because Sixers would actually like this one (it's the latest version of an old fave):

    (And I only propose this because RoCo seems so much worse this year and we stand to lose him in the offseason.) We could add in a wrinkle and instantly become the most lovable team in the league:

    Imagining Nate trying to make a good defensive team with Trae and CJ as the starting backcourt and actually feeling sorry for him.

    We have a need for a 7'2" guy who plays 6'2" and is always injured?

    Yeah, the Knicks make sense until you look at their salaries (and the fact that they just signed a bunch of people). The guy they have that we'd want is Barrett and they ain't giving him up for CJ.

    We have a need to big guy that can shoot and board and block shots. Like I said not sure I would want him and its because of what you bring up.
    We need a legit 4 imo as RoCo plays out of position. I would think we could pkg CJ & some for a 4/3.

    Barrett would be a nice get but they'd want more than CJ.

    Gotta look for desperate teams. Pelicans are jumping off the page for me. But I dont really want anyone outside of Ingram on their team.

    I'd do any of those except the SAC; kind of doubt if the other teams would though?

    I like the first one. Just read somewhere that Harris is playing really good D this year.

    CJ for Imgram would be a great deal for the Blazers....which means Portland would have to add a lot more. CJ + 2 firsts? Would the Pels even consider that...I don't know why they would. Too bad CJ doesn't have an expiring contract

    The Pels sure went from a team with upside to a shit team in a damn hurry

    It pains me to say it but I think Seth has been better than CJ this year. He’s scoring more efficiently and isn’t prone to iso ball. He gets his shots within the offense and doesn’t freeze teammates out.
