    For us, maybe. Including Randle when they have so much other $$ being spent on guards doesn't make a ton of sense for NY.
    And, I suppose, there's always the potential that NY is asset accumulation, and we then turn around and use those assets in a different deal. Gets picks from NY, and send them to Atlanta for Collins, etc.

    One of the Knicks writers on SB said a trade for McCollum would look something like Fournier, Kemba and Burks. Although I wouldn't mind Fournier or Burks being part of the deal, I would say a big hell no to Kemba.

    Kemba at a $9 million expiring next season isn't something I want, but its not really a bad contract if we like the other pieces. I would want a pick or young player if we only get that plus Burks and Fournier though.

    I'm still skeptical Cronin would trade CJ. But ok, the two main suitors are NY and NO

    I'm pretty skeptical about Randle. I don't like his contract and I'm not sure about his attitude. But if he's not included I don't like what else the Knicks could send. Say no to Fournier

    I like the Pels players better. The often mentioned Hart + Sato + Hayes works (don't like the legal issues Hayes has), CBA-wise, but I'd like the Pels to add a first. But the Pels could delete the 1st if they agreed to a Winslow for DFS swap

    DFS is a Mav, not a Pelican?
    Herb Jones?

    How would you feel if the Blazers didn't get Randle back but instead got Obi Toppin as part of the deal? I think that's where there's value to be found, personally, if the Blazers are dealing with the Knicks.

    I would feel that Dame was most definitely on the way out.

    I would also feel excited to see what an Ant/Keon/Nas/Obi/GB3 lineup would look like. In-game dunk contest?

    Dallas has been rumored to have an interest in CJ, too.

    Pelicans don't want to trade Jones or Ingram. New York and Atlanta can give the Blazers better deals.

    If you look at Toppin's numbers this season, per 36, he looks a lot like Randle, but there's upside there. He's creeping up on being a double-digit-per game scorer. I think he's closer to being a quality NBA starter right now than a lot of people realize. If he's not ready to step in next year and be a guy other teams have to respect, he should be by the following season.

    CJ --> NY
    Randle --> Atlanta
    Collins --> PDX...?

    Powell + Bullock + Kleiber + 1st for CJ + Snell

    I think the Blazers would have to waive somebody though

    1st from Dallas wouldn't be until 2025 at the earliest.

    I could live with either of those deals. And it's not like we don't have a number of good candidates to waive.

    Only way I see it working salary-wise without involving Randle would be Toppin/Fournier/(one of Burks/Kemba/Noel) for CJ+2 minimum guys (since we have no open roster spots and don't want to add salary).

    I guess maybe I could accept something like that.

    ATL FO got a first row seat in the playoffs last year to their team dismantling a Randle-led NY team. I don't think they'd value him as highly as someone like me.
