    The first one is well worth taking the risk of AD walking after a year, IMO.

    The second, I'd do if it was a late first round pick.

    The third would have to involve a good first round pick coming back to Portland. No way LA is worth CJ at this point in his career.

    This is just a fans opinion, but I don’t think the Spurs would trade Aldridge for McCollum straight up (if they didn’t have derozan.)

    Objectively speaking, Aldridge is the better player, by a significant margin, and CJ isn't under longer control. If anything, I thought the Spurs would be the most likely to say no to the proposed trade.

    Yeah, I don't think SA is a great fit for CJ.

    So Atlanta probably wont use all their cap space. They probably dont want to pay Prince in 2020 who's somewhat injury prone. I feel like Harkless and our 1st (25th?) for Prince and a 2nd (41st?) could make a lot of sense.

    Our payroll would be $118M and wed have $20M under the hard cap to use our Full MLE on Hood/Kanter/Curry with apx. $12M left over for Layman & Aminu.

    We could also try something like Harkless, Turner, and our 1st for Prince and Plumlee. Saves us $13M (payroll down to $113M). Would give us $25M below the hard cap.

    If we somehow dumped Meyers and stretched Plumlee we could open up $15M in cap space. We could probably renounce Layman, resign Curry and Hood then try to bring back Jake for the Room Exception.

    I dont get the love for Prince. I dont think he's any better than Harkless.

    I personally would not do this trade

    He probably better offensively but I think Harkless better on the defensive.

    In Bones' example the reason Prince is ideal is because even if he is the same as Harkless (or slightly worse) doing a Harkless for Prince swap saves us over $8 million. That frees up the potential to use the Full-MLE thus being more likely to keep some of our free agents (Hood, Kanter, and Curry) or to get a more impactful player.

    If Prince sucks we simply let him walk at the end of next year.

    I think the point isn't whether Prince is better, so much as the fact that he'a about $8M cheaper. If we can get comparable production at 1/5 the cost, wouldn't that be wise?

    Sure I just saying your getting more offensive then defense even though Prince came out college as defender. But so he capable to be defender he just hasn't shown it yet.

    If the trade is executed at the draft we can include 2020 and 2022 or whatever.

    You really think they give us Griffin for two firsts and Turner and Meyers? You really like Willy Hernangomez
