Summer trade targets

We can't really trade for anyone who makes over $10 mil.

 

I know Jabari is a different position but my thoughts on that is they probably wanna wait and see how Jabari plays when he comes back before moving Middleton. Because Greek Freak/Middleton/Jabari is a good big 3.

 

He really fell of a cliff when he left ATL. He's had injury issues. He's not the player he once was. Unfortunately he's paid like a player he never will be.

Unless we trade them Crabbe.

Even if we trade them Crabbe. We need to lower our tax burden.

 

Trading Crabbe for someone who "only" makes $10 is a step in the right direction. Get's us $8.5 million closer.

Yes, that'd be great.

 

Freak/Jabari/Lopez is a good big 3 as well. Brogdon has Avery Bradley potential. Lopez fits great with Giannis because he's a stretch-5 who's a good pick n roll player as well.

 

Lopez is a nice player but does Milwaukee take the risk with his injury history? Especially when they have a poor man's version of him on their bench in Monroe.

 

Lopez is better than Monroe on every aspect. In my proposal they get their starting PG in Lin, and a good F in Aminu. We could also give them the MEM or CLE pick to sweeten the pot. I think theyd heavily consider it.

The way I'd do it:

BKN Gets: Crabbe, Harkless, Leonard, CLE 1st
MIL Gets: Lopez, Lin, Aminu, MEM Pick
We Get: Middleton

You could draft Bridges or Justin Jackson with our pick, and all you have to do is get rid of Turner (attach a future pick) to have over $10M in cap space to sign someone like James Johnson.

Then maybe you try to send Napier, Davis and a 2nd to NYK for O'Quinn.

Lillard (36) / McCollum (12)
McCollum (24) / Middleton (24)
Middleton(12) / Jackson (20) / Johnson (16)
Johnson (14) / Vonleh (24) / O'Quinn (10)
Nurkic (32) / O'Quinn (16)

Any of the above, happy to move Meyers.

 

I'd take a flier on Stanley Johnson or Mario Hezonja if they were on the cheap.

 

Avery Bradley or Marcus Smart. Both on pretty kush deals.

 

Jae Crowder might become available if Boston signs Hayward.

 

Meyers shoul be the biggest trade target. No matter what we get back, Meyers has to be traded

 

Mario Hezonja.

Been saying this for a while now.

 

Trading Crabbe would be the opposite of "great." I feel like I'm taking crazy pills every time I have to defend the guy. I'd trade CJ first yeah I said it fuck you.

 

I don't really know what people like about him. I have watched him closely since his Barcelona days and also followed him with national team and he has always been an immature overrated guy in my opinion. When they took him 5th I thought it was a joke.

 

Portland should concentrate on unloading Meyers and/or Turner. They're going to need to get some breathing room under the luxury tax to resign Vonleh and Nurkic in 18-19

 

Paul George, if he would agree to an extension before trading for him.
