Trade Idea Post and Discuss Trade Ideas for the 2019-20 Season

Trade to the Clippers for Harrell.....Hassan for Harrell

 

I believe you might have been one of them but I do know that there were posters in here that said essentially the same thing about Leonard, Harkless and Turner last off season and Olshey was able to move all three before the season.

 

Harrell makes like 6m, and hassan 27, so a lot more would have to be involved and I strongly doubt that straight up even without the salary stuff theyd do that trade, straight up.

 

I'd trade Hassan for Gasol in a heartbeat

 

I don't care how they do it....I like Harrell way more than Hassan....or trade Skal for Harrell...I don't do the trade machine stuff.

 

Dont get me wrong I like Harrell too, but I dont think there is even a slight chance that we have anything that could make it work, maybe, thats more of a hoopsjock or scalma question, but just the baseline numbers, its gonna be hard to get a team to give up a guy who has like a per of 24 on 6m a year.

 

why on earth would the Clippers trade the core component of their bench from hell for no defense garbage?

 

Yeah, have Olshey call the Clippers and propose that trade. I believe Lawrence Frank and Michael Winger would straight up drop the phone while laughing their asses off!

 

Well they could throw in Paul George or Kawhi Leonard as salary filler.

 

If you start a trade thread....I guess my wish lists aren't welcome....oh well...Harrell was rumored to be on the block a while ago.....let's make that me wanting PG or Kawhi….that adds to the story. Is this a thread for discounting ideas or just a practice session for future GMs?

 

Thanks for the civil response....

 

Why do it? Because Jrue is (a) a very good player, and (b) provides us with a lot of things we need, notably defense and ball handling.
"But our best two players are already 6'3" guards!"
True, but Holiday can almost certainly guard 1 through 3, and I'd be happy with having him guard SFs if the SF has to guard him
"But Simons is our best young player! Why mortgage the future!"
Because I'm tired of all our good players being terrible at defense.
"He can learn!"
In theory, but in practice crappy defenders always stay crappy. Plus we have to give ups SOMETHING to get Holiday and I'd rather give up Simons than a first rounder.

 

Post of the year! You got me with that one @hoopsjock

 

I'd love Harrell but he wasn't on the block so I'm not sure what you're referring to. There's as much chance they'd trade Harrell as PG and Kawhi.

 

yes...he was rumored to be on the block...read it on NBA com and Portland was attached to the rumor...that was about 10 games inot the season..but hey...I'm sure you have reasons for doubting it..at the time I didn't know who he was...I do now....today it's Kevin Love rumors again...editorials are like that...

 

hardly….but if snark is your thing...glad you got a chuckle out of it...

 

As someone who doesn't want to trade Simons this type of trade is very tempting if the Hornets offered.

The main thing that gives me pause is making win now type moves like this doesn't make a lot of sense given the injuries and then adding all the tax implications of taking back more salary and having to also add two more players to the roster.

 

I'm sorry but you're mistaken.

 

Anyone but Kevin Love

 

it was a rumor......a civil response hoop would be...."Sorry, I didn't read that rumor"..it was the first time I'd heard the guy's name so I looked him up then...didn't give it much thought until I saw him play. With this, I"ll leave you to your own takes and remove myself from the conversation…..I'm sure you've read all the rumors this season about Blazers gm moves....I know I haven't
