    Btw here’s what Fischer said about Powell’s market back at last seasons deadline. Obviously things have changed but maybe some of these teams are still interested. It wasn’t THAT long ago, and now he’s locked up long term. I still like a theoretical Powell/Smart swap.

    Knicks could be an interesting destination as well. Still think CJ to NY makes a lot of sense also.

    what do you think of hunter and filler (Delon) from Atlanta for Powell, assuming they’re still interested.

    Simons would not fetch 1 first round pick.

    Really Simons don't play defense and he inconsistent on the offense end. If that fetch a 1st round pick then some GM should be fire right after the trade.

    I think the Rockets should do the right thing and trade us Christian Wood and a first rounder for RoCo... my whole life I've been hearing the phrase "turnabout is fair play" and for once I'd like to see it used in practice instead of just in theory.

    I'd probably do it, and youth upside and size. I don't love his injury history, but this team is going nowhere as is. I'd have everyone but dame available for the right price.

    Bulls receive:
    Lillard and Nurkic
    #2 pick from Philly

    Blazers receive:
    Vukavic, Maxey, Simmons
    and a #1 from Chicago plus
    a #1 pick swap with Philly in 2024

    76’s receive:
    Lanzó Ball, RoCo, McLemore and (2) #1 picks from Chicago and (2) #2 picks from Portland

    THEN!

    upload_2022-1-3_15-42-5.png

    CJ plus a #1 tbd for Sabonis and J. Lamb (expiring)


    Our Rebuilt Roster:


    Maxey / Smith
    Powell / Simons / Lamb
    Simmons / Little
    Sabonis / Nance
    Vulavic / Zeller

    Most players above are under contract for 2-4 years and we can use our picks to build around the youth - seeking a Center to replace Vukavic in a a few years. And Powell can always be the next trade chip to climb if necessary.

    Wood is interesting. Guy is selfish on and off the court, but he’s also never played with a guy like Dame. In some ways he’s similar to Nurk, just a little more extreme with his antics. He’d be an intriguing buy low guy but I’m definitely not giving up any real assets for him. He’d purely be a project, and an expensive one.

    No different than those who have created their own. And besides, I am the founder of the Super Blockbuster [Carmelo Anrhony] thread that will never be touched - show some respect rookie

    That team is better than what we have now. A lot better. I’d miss Dame but we’d win more.

    Dort is exactly the kind of player we should be targeting. A guy who can defend.
