Right. Wolves made a great trade for them. Old hey did too and likely got rejected on a shot at a big vet like PG.
I have a bad feeling that were done making moves. This off-season will be defined by replacing Ezeli with Collins and Quarterman with Swanigan. Yay.
If Mario/Rubio aren't options.... To Portland: Stanley Johnson To Detroit: 2018 first-rounder Noah Vonleh
To Portland: Jae Crowder To Boston: Mo Harkless 2018 unprotected first-rounder Next available second ronder(s)
Interesting idea, something that is more of a trade deadline move though imo gotta see Harkless' progression first.
Ew what the hell?? Vonleh is worth way more than Johnson. Johnson's been absolute trash in the NBA. But to give up a 1st as well? I don't get it.
We should learn from BKN and protect all 1st round picks we trade out. If BOS traded Crowder, they likely wouldn't want a SF back because they have Tatum, Brown, and are frontrunners to sign Hayward. I'd do this: We Get: Crowder Unknown Team Gets: Davis or Aminu BOS Gets: 2018 POR 1st, Unknown Team's 2nd.
I feel kind of the same. Our draft picks are gone. I don't think they plan on trading Collins. Even Swanigan doesn't look like a pick intended to be traded, as I suspect he is valued higher by Olshey than most other GM's; he's not the kind of safe pick that might be more tradeable. I'm even reluctant to trade Harkless, he has made improvement every year and seems to be working the hardest to improve this summer. Also Olshey is the kind of guy who it seems might not like to admit he made a mistake so he wants to try to build value on some of his guys.
I'd not trade a first unprotected. If Damian/Nurckic miss considerable time we could be a top lotto team.
Imagine if that happened and we got Luca Doncic as our SF. We'd have 3 white guys in our starting lineup for the next few years. This board would lose it's shit.
Nothing really. We could keep Nurkic and have an insane tax bill, as we do own his bird rights. Bird rights transfer to the team trading for the player, so since Nurkic played 2.5 years in DEN, those 2.5 years got traded with him to us, where he finished his 3rd year, giving us his bird rights.
I like the idea of Johnson and it probably wouldn't take that much to get him. It would be the Harkless trade all over again.
If you liked OG I don't see why you wouldn't like to take a shot at Johnson? Unless it's the package that you didn't like.
Sounds like Minny still wants to trade Rubio for outside shooting. Who says no on a Rubio for Crabbe swap?
Crabbe and Shabazz for Rubio and Wiggins?? Maybe Harkless or Turner? It works numbers wise. Will Minny give up/trade them now that they have Butler? I also wouldn't mind getting Patton.
Wiggins is viewed as an up and coming star around the league... Throw in 2 unprotected firsts and you'd still get hung up on...
