Trade Ideas Thread

He doesn't need the ball in his hands as much as other guys to be effective. He's the guy I would go after.

 

Fuckk it get both. Give em our pick and Turner.

 

Turner + 25th pick + some 2025 second for Crowder. Yes they can find better i know, but we should try something.

 

When it comes to Turner and our pick plus filler...I'd talk to the Rockets and the Heat...both are looking to blow it up..I'd also inquire about Aaron Gordon for the same deal..Olshey has worked with Orlando and Houston on deals in the past....they are also teams that need defense which ET provides and vet leadership for rebuilding rosters...Boston actually could use ET again as well..their locker room fell apart not long after he left and he's a leader

 

I need rumors dammit. No dream trades but real meat-and-potatoes stuff.

 

Josh Jackson doesn't fit the Olshey culture.

 

Apparently he does not fit the Phoenix Suns culture either. Although I am sure if he was a little better he might be given more chances.
As Fake GM of the Suns I read a few articles where his attitude and work ethic were questioned, which is why I traded him too.

 

I'm not necessarily saying I disagree with you, but the "Olshey culture" is one where the franchise pillars set the tone, lead by example and show younger kids the ropes.

You could just as easily say that Jackson presents an almost ideal Olshey reclamation project -- high rated high school recruit, multi-skilled, languishing in a poorly run franchise with no leader. When you have locker room leaders like Dame and Nurk and a tight, cohesive group, guys like this either fall in line or fall off the map entirely -- at the right price he's a guy I would LOVE to kick the tires on...

 

POR: Blake Griffin

OKC: Langston Galloway

DET: Dennis Schroder, Evan Turner, Moe Harkless, 21, 25, Portland 2021 first round pick (lottery protected)

 

Time to look at teams we can dump an expiring on to open up the full MLE for Hood and maybe even another signing on top of it.

Team that stands out is Sacramento. They have a shit ton of cap space (anywhere from $47-$66M depending on Harrison Barnes) but aren’t really a destination for FAs. They have been connected to Harkless in the past and could use a wing. They also don’t have a center under contract currently (WCS is a RFA)

Would they take either Harkless or Leonard into their cap space for a year? Wouldn’t cost them anything else and they’d get their bird rights. We’d open up the full MLE, keep Hood, and maybe add a guy like Rolo, who we most likely couldn’t get for the minimum.

 

Sacramento wants Horford.

 

Then give them Harkless.

 

I would try it at the Suns, they seem like the new Nets and dumb enough to take big salary

 

If we are balancing the roster I wonder if Washington would do Turner+Trent for Mahinmi+Brown.

 

We could pluck a random C from the G League that would play better than Mahinmi.

 

I agree but I rather have Mahinmi than Turner for our team. We need as many bigs as we can get, and if it’s an expiring, grab him.

 

Turner+Harkless for Tyler Johnson?

 

Suns will not want to take on additional salary and Johnson is their best point guard currently. Even if they sign one via free agency they will need him for bench minutes.

 

Honestly I prefer Turner over Mahinmi. He’s just extremely bad.

 

Thats not additional salary and Turner can play point.

EDIT: Math mistake.
