The 2022 Trade Idea Thread, now with more urgency!

Im guessing Cuban would like another ball handling scoring guard, to take pressure off Doncic.
Prozingis DF Smith is a solid defender, Kleber is decent.

 

Gross.

 

Id do that in a heartbeat and I like Nurk. Those two would fit nicely and its the type of front line we need.

 

Powell, Kleiber, and DFS would be a decent return, especially if the Mavs added a 1st, which they wouldn't. But it's not a legal trade because CJ's salary is so damn high. It would have to be Powell, Kleiber, and Bullock.

Powell and DFS would be nice additions, not Bullock. Kleiber...meh but ok

 

try this then, if Dallas really wants CJ:

CJ + Snell for Powell + Kleiber + Bullock

contingent upon Dallas agreeing to a Winslow for DFS swap

in other words: CJ + Winslow + Snell for Powell + Kleiber + Bullock + DSF. Blazers could add McLemore too if Dallas wanted a little more

 

Dallas knows they can't keep Brunson, so:


What they'd almost certainly prefer:

or perhaps:


...but that Hardaway contract is nasty.

 

Porzingis straight across works.

 

If we did this:

and this:


We would be a helluva lot more solid with post players but would be a little weak on the wing players but if we wanted we could seriously just play a back court rotation of Bledsoe, Ant, DSJ, Johnson and Ben. We could even have a big front court of Larry, Boucher and KP with Precious, Trendon and Elleby off the bench for the rest of this season since we're not too concerned with winning. It would give KP and Ant time to build report.

Then we could draft a guy like Jaden Ivey or Blake Wesley to come off the bench with our pick depending on where in the lottery it ends up if it ends up in the lottery. If it does we could take Jovic with the Raptors pick or Beauchamp or Moore with their pick if we don't have one of our own. Also the fact is that we get Dame and Nas back next season.

So next season we would be starting Dame, Ant, Nas, Larry or Precious and KP with Larry or Precious, Johnson, a re-signed Boucher, Elleby and one or two first rounders filling out our rotation. I think that roster is a contender if Dame and Ant can be more than the sum of their parts and not less and if they can't then we trade Ant at the deadline for a wing or I guess we could trade Dame at the deadline for a wing too.

 

“You think this trade is bad? Here’s two more.”

If Dallas isn’t including Porzingis or DFS, there’s really no trade to be made with them.

 

Then there's this. These would be three separate trades. The trades with NOLA and Toronto would have to be completed before the trade with Indy. We would buy out Satoransky and waive Cody. There's a chance we couldn't get the Milwaukee first rounder out of NOLA depending on how highly they value CJ but I wouldn't do the trade with them without at least one first coming back or the trade with Toronto without their lottery protected first coming back.

 

Ya i want julius randle

 

I’d take him. About as Z-Bo as it gets. Need some length next to him though.

 

Julius would be a good buy low guy, maybe CJ/2nd rounder for Randle/Quickley then the balls bounce our way and we draft Chet(even though I’m not a believer) and Trade Nurk for Boucher and Precious. Leaves us pretty balanced…

Dame/Quickley
Ant/Keon/CJ2
Little/Winslow/Watford
Randle/Nance/GB3
Holmgren/Boucher

I’m assuming all the other guys who are gonna be FAs won’t be retained.

 

CJ, Nance and Nurk for....
Simmons, Hart and Hayes?

If Cronin were able to pull off that struck-by-lighting trade, I would start building the statue at One Center Court myself.

 

Did anyone else just see dame in IG live or something telling LeBron to “make that call bro”? A friend of mine just sent it to me I don’t know how to add it here

 

I would not give the Knicks a pick in that deal, I'd actually want one from them (also the deal doesn't quite work they would need to send back McBride as well who we would have to move or cut) and I would need Toronto's 2022 first rounder lottery protected if we're giving them Nurk for Boucher and Precious.

 

Yeah, it's highly unlikely but piece by piece none of the individual trades are too much of a stretch.

 

Just copy & paste into the media URL.

 

I think that is from last june
