The 2022 Trade Idea Thread, now with more urgency!

I don't think the first one is bad! I would fucking jump at that trade. I would be amazed if Dallas would offer it, though.

I don't think we'll (be able to) trade CJ, but if we do, some people round here are going to be shocked at how little we get for him (you know, like the last trade?)

 

Randle is the player I think Watford is the poor man's version of.

 

not close as a comp. Randle is a terrific playmaker and rarely plays in the post

 

Can't figure out how to post this. Help

Well this is going about the way I figured.

 

Shifty, mid rangy, can collect the rebounds. Not as space eating as Zbo and has more range. But I stick by my comp. closest thing I’ve seen since zbo

 

Seriously.

Get Randle

 

It would be funny if this wasn't because they're being traded. It's actually because we want to tank and we told Bledsoe to fuck off.

 

the smart thing for Portland to do is try to trade Bledsoe, for something, between now and the deadline. Then immediately waive him the day after the deadline (or the night of) if no trade happens

 

huh.

 

I’ll bet there is a team out there that likes CJs veteran leadership. There has to be, right?

 

Saw another blurb that New Orleans still interested in CJ. Two ideas:
1. Indiana gets Jackson Hayes, Satoransky filler and a first round pick from New Orleans. New Orleans gets CJ and one of our minimums (just to balance the players going in and out). Portland gets Myles Turner and Hart.
2. Basically same except with Houston and we get Woods instead of Turner.

What to do with that Bledsoe contract? I did notice it's the same dollars as Eric Gordon. Gordon seems to be improving with age, actually having a career year, but we don't really need another 6'3" guard right? Could we facilitate a trade for someone else? I don't think so because any contender wanting him wouldn't have cap room to absorb him so how would they benefit? Anyone have any ideas? Although if we are going all in with Lillard next year and were able to use Simons as part of a deal to get Simmons or Siakam (yeh, yeh, I know I am dreaming), then Lillard, Hart and Gordon would be a tough threesome.

 

I'm really cool with either of those deals if we have a destination for Nurk that brings back value at a position or positions of need.

 

I’d rather have Wood than Turner

 

Nurk, Nance and Simons for Siakam?

 

Yeh, that's close, Turner younger and blocks a lot more shots but Woods had his best years both defensively and offensively as a PF with Detroit, so maybe he could co-exist with Nurk? Shoots threes better also. He might be more expensive but i would be willing to add a FRP to the deal to Houston.
