The 2022 Trade Idea Thread, now with more urgency!

We gotta do something with Ben and Bledsoe before Thursday right? Even if it’s just for a second rounders?

 

Ben should have suitors for teams looking for a cheap shooter off the bench.

 

Can the Blazers combine Bledsoe with the 21 mil TPE? To make that 42 mil coming back? Theoretically?

 

No.

 

What is McLemore costing us?

I like the guy! Great attitude and is instant offense off the bench. Don’t we want a vet like this sitting on our bench?

 

He's a FA. I don't think we have his bird rights.

 

What about Elleby; we didn't trade him did we?

 

Why couldn't we have just done the CJ trade and not the Clippers trade?

 

Heck no! We still have a CJ!

 

No rush on Bledsoe. Yes, I think we should trade Ben if we can get a second rounder.

 

CJ Elleby - There is only one!

 

Elleby + Bledsoe to NY Knicks for Randle?

 

If there were more. I'd prefer to share the wealth. Heck, for the right (almost any) offer, I'd share our remaining CJ as well.

 

I'm in!

There's really no trade machining this one, we either use the TPE or we trade Bledsoe for him... let's hope it's trading Bledsoe. Obviously that will also take picks. The only thing we could do is give them the first we just acquired and two or even three second rounders. It sucks to give up that first but the fact that the pick has to be the 5th pick to the 14th or wait another year means that we won't get anyone with that pick that will impact this team the way Grant will during Dame's window. There is another option and I bet the Pistons would be all over it. All of their perimeter players are facilitator/slashers on offense and solid defenders. Honestly it's a big gamble but maybe Ant for Grant like this:

Those are technically two different trades and do work independent of each other.

Regardless of how, if we do get Grant let's hope he's grateful and tanks us a lot. We don't need these guys pulling out wins for us. Our depth or rather the lack of depth gives me comfort that we will lose any lead but Ant, NAW, Hart, Grant and Nurk are not a terrible lineup at least not terrible enough for my taste this season... we need our pick to be really high otherwise it won't likely be someone that makes a difference in a playoff series during the years Dame has left as a dominant force.

 

Imagine this place if the pelicans flipped cj for Simmons. Lol

 

I wouldn’t be surprised if Nurk is next to be traded. There’s still plenty of time.
