The 2022 Trade Idea Thread, now with more urgency!

Louder whispers. Seems like Powell’s name is swirling. Not sure how motivated the Blazers are at this point? There are MULTIPLE teams interested in ME-J, as of right now our asking price seems to be a bit rich

 

If we don't trade CJ because yet again our GM values him too highly, I'm going to have to call Saul.

A friend of mine dug a little deeper into this. Likely some to most of these will get dropped and they are projecting community service with probation. His girlfriend won't press charges, so the 12 counts mostly come from resisting arrest.

 

that's good because it's hard on upholstery

I get labeled negative at least twice a month. Badge of honor

 

We will find out soon....

 

nothing drastically different in the wednesday morning rumor mill.

BR/Hoopshype say Ben McLemore is receiving interest in addition to RoCo, and that the Pels might be looking at RoCo now as well.

 

And also saying they are interested in Roco. CJ and Roco together is a lot of salary. The only way something would work is if we took on Devonte Graham with his four year salary, so I think they would need to give us draft picks also. I like this trade except having to take on Graham. But here it is: six for six.

CJ, Roco, Zeller, Smith, Snell, Mac for Hart, Graham, Satoransky, Hayes, Alexander-Walker and Herb Jones.

 

I figured with the way he's been playing, that playoff contenders would be interested in McLemore. An early 2 or future 1 would be a great get for him, makes too much sense not to happen if we can get something of value...

 

This is really interesting. One added bonus of tanking is plenty of playing time available. Young guys with high upside like NAW and Jaxon Hayes will get plenty of shots and minutes to bolster their value. Since we'd likely be doing more of a flip than a rebuild, that's a really enticing approach to bulk up assets going into the offseason...

 

these shooting splits are terrible for a guy whose biggest strength is claimed as .... shooting.



and he's an upcoming RFA.

and his defensive numbers are eye-gougingly bad.

no thank you.

 

But he's 6-6!

 

Well right now I think Roco and someone attached to that trade will be the only trade at deadline. Percentage for CJ leaving with Dame out very low. Nurk the rumor there not much interest but again it only takes one team. Powell it's very low possible low percentage due we just signed him to a decent contract. The others like Nance and Zellers there injured and playoffs teams what players that can help them now.

 

CJ for Porz
They have an urgent nerd at scoring guard!
CJ & Cuban would gel and become business partners!

 

I wouldn’t read anything that gets put out there the final week before the deadline. Also interesting that two different reporters are reporting the same stuff. That’s for sure on purpose. At this point it’s pretty much let me know when something actually happens. Until then zzzzzZzzz

 

I don't think too much of Brunson as a starter, but I think calling him a nerd is a bit excessive.

 

If we’re trading Roco we better be getting more than a pick; either multiple picks or a talented younger player.

 

very fine line between complacency and patience. i hope cronin straddles that line correctly. i think we can say for certain, if he does nothing, we're getting a new GM in the summer.

 

Many posters will bitch if no trades are done by the deadline. I will be disappointed but am willing to wait and see what they do in the offseason, especially if we get a lotto pick to us.

If we do nothing but draft a project, I think you will have many people raging hard and we will hear more optimists that will act like we have a chance to do something.

Optimism without changes with this team is the definition of insanity.
