    And why I gave it a long, detailed response, rather than just a single word.

    Harrison Barnes is about to get $90M, there’s gotta be a taker for Harkless.

    Cleveland looks to be excited about going young. They have the new "Blazer back court of the East" per ESPN on draft night.
    If I am the Cavs I let Sexton and Garland grow together. The only way I add an expensive vet to a young team is if I am ready to compete now.
    The Cavs certainly are not anywhere close to that.

    What would it take for Memphis to do this:

    It would work as separate trades to fulfill CBA rules but I'll just list it as one trade.

    Maurice Harkless
    Meyers Leonard

    for

    Jae Crowder
    CJ Miles

    Portland would save $5.8 million which would be just enough to open up the Full-MLE. If they would rather trade Korver instead of Miles then we would save $7 million.

    Dame/CJ/Hood/Collins/Nurk
    Simons/Miles/Bazemore/Crowder/Vet Min C
    Trent/Little/Skal/Layman?/Vet Min PG/C

    OR

    Dame/CJ/Bazemore/Crowder/Kanter
    Simons/Miles/Layman?/Skal/Collins
    Trent/Little/Vet PG/Vet Big/Nurk

    Sooo, Washington will not re-sign Portis or Parker; all they got was a 2023 2nd round pick and two expiring contracts for Otto Porter. Couldn't we give chicago more now?

    Why don't we go all in on Iggy and Love?
    Bazemore for Iguodala
    Harkless+Leonard for Love

    LILLARD
    MCCOLLUM
    IGUODALA
    LOVE
    NURKIC

    Memphis doesn't want/need Bazemore, so there's no incentive for them to deal Iggy to us for him.

    Oh gosh I sure hope we do.

    Kevin Love is not the second best player on a title team, he has one of the worst contracts in the league. I want us to compete for titles, with Love and Dame locked in together that would be nearly impossible.

    I wouldn't look to trade CJ, but if we do we need a great player coming back. Love with his shitty defense, injuries, and massive contract has less value than nothing.

    Harkless/pick for Dwight Howard+non-guaranteed salary fill would make a lot of sense.

    While I'm not advocating dealing for Love, he wouldn't be the second best player on the team as McCollum and Nurkic would be ahead of him. As a 4th best on a team, that's not a bad thing. Kind of like when he was with LeBron and Irving.

    Would the Clippers consider Bazemore+Skal for Gallo?

    Lillard
    McCollum
    Hood
    Gallinari
    Whiteside/Nurkic

    Could be dealt today, but can't be aggregated with anyone else until 8/24.
