Trade Ideas Thread

On a side note, I'm not so sure we'd have a falloff if we simply swapped CJ and Bullock. That doesn't mean I'm discrediting how good CJ is or that they are similar players because CJ is better. However Bullock has a size advantage and is a better defender. He's a career near 40% 3pt shooter (almost identical to CJ). CJ's a better creator but that also means he monopolizes the ball more and there is a huge disparity in usage rate. I think there is an argument to be made in favor of more of a spot up shooter being better for the offense especially if that player is also a better defender.

I get that if that trade was made most people would think the exact opposite though.

 

He had restriction of 10-15 minutes the first two games. He just started btw.

 

Might be reason he not starting yet.

 

Why do we need multiple trade deadline threads?

 

The Bamba thing was a rumor though haha.

 

I love Bamba, but just like Orlando I think we are a bad fit to develop him. If I were the Hawks I'd be trying to get him to put next to John Collins as my big duo. Trade Dedmon and just let those two play all the minutes they can handle together.

The only thing that would make sense in terms of CJ going to Orlando is if New Orleans liked Isaac and Bamba not CJ and were interested in a 3-way.

Something like this?

How about we critique your taste in women?

 

IF during the off season it looks like Nurk is going to miss a good chunk of the regular season and possibly take awhile to be fully healthy...

What do you guys think about a move like this?

ET, Harkless, Leonard, and a 1st for Hassan Whiteside and Ryan Anderson. Both Whiteside and Anderson are expirings next year too. It saves the Heat money next year and they get a 1st out of it. For us we'd pick up a legit starting center while Nurk is out and when Nurk comes back we could ease him back into things. Since both Whiteside and Anderson are expiring worst case scenario they'd have similar value to the guys we dealt at the trade deadline. If Whiteside plays well he might be a valuable trade chip.

 

Is that Ryan anderson, not kyle?

 

OOPS YES! Good catch.

 

What CJs absence has shown is that his role on the team is rather easily replaced by much cheaper players like Hood and Curry. I’m not saying they’re better players. For example, if you put curry or Hood on the Pelicans and made them the focal point of the offense, I think they’d struggle where as CJ would probably thrive.

That leads to the logical step of finally putting McCollum on the trade block. That doesn’t mean trade for what you can get, or to make a lateral move, but it definitely should mean putting him in discussions for some of the better bigs that are, or could potentially be, on the block.


Trade w/ New Orleans

McCollum, Collins, and a first for Anthony Davis.


Trade w/ Detroit

McCollum and a first for Blake Griffin.


Trade w/ San Antonio and Orlando

McCollum to Orlando, Aaron Gordon and a pick from Orlando to San Antonio, and Aldridge to Portland.

 

I'd do the first one. The second is a huge risk. FUCK your third suggestion.

 

I at least respect your consistency with Aldridge.
