The 2022 Trade Idea Thread, now with more urgency!

On the plus side, Simons just upped his trade value.

 

Keep Little. Trade Simons.

 

bumping this abomination of an idea.

deserves all the ridicule

 

The thing about trading Ant is it doesnt really fix the issue. We’d still be running a three guard lineup with three below average defenders. That’s why I believe at least one of CJ and Powell have to go first, if not both. I would only trade Ant if we got a young wing in return, like Reddish. Definitely not trading him for tax purposes or a pick.

 

I would only trade him for a pick if that pick was to be used in a bigger deal.

 

If Morey really said no to CJ, Nas/Ant, and a pick for Simmons hes outta his mind. Hope that offer isn’t still on the table.

 

Blow it up and build around Ant and Nas. Start over. Find a badass power forward.

 

Put on of the top 3 picks around Simons and Little, and suddenly three future has some home and growth possibilities.

 

it’s actually not. Okongwu is just as good a prospect as little. Frp is overkill.

 

he seems super limited to me. An undersized center without an offensive skill set. Useful in small lineups but I’d be surprised if he turned into a full time starter. I see Little as a starting wing.

 

I wouldn’t trade Nas. What are his weaknesses? Size maybe?

 

You absolutely keep Nassir and Simons and build around them. Not saying they are the focal points of the team or the best players in the future but when you have two guys that young who seem like great dudes and work hard, you keep them. You start trading vets away for younger guys and picks. Be a good team in three years.

 

Even if Simons gets offered something like Allen Crabbe did? I think there is a decent chance someone sees his potential like we do and offers him big money and a larger role.

 

Not so much cap space available for most teams and he hasn't really shown that much to be prioritized by some team. Good shooting, but no playmaking or defense. I think teams don't fall for this kind of players anymore.

 

It would suck but first of all, I don’t think Simons and crabbe are as similar as others. Like at all. Second, not sure who has money to spend and would choose Simons as their guy to spend it on.

 

for a team devoid of talent like ours, you don't let dudes walk for nothing in return. that's how you become the sacramento kings.

also, i've seen this Simons/Crabbe comp thrown about here frequently that makes no sense at all. Crabbe was a 24 yr old role playing catch/shoot wing who luckily became a FA the summer the cap got blown up in 2016. Neither the players nor the situations are similar.

 

4 yrs, 60. That's a reasonable deal for him in my estimation, and i don't think he gets any deal better than that on the market. Maybe a 3+1 PO to allow him the chance to became a FA right as he enters his prime.

 

Restricted free agents rarely even switch teams anymore. Nobody with cap space bothers with them because it ties them up in free agency.
