Trade Ideas Thread

I'm surprised how quick this forum is to give up on Collins. Then saying Gordon is better than him defensively is ridiculous. He did just come back from shoulder surgery. He's young. He's gonna continue to improve.
If he's involved in a trade then there better be a good big coming back or the frontcourt depth immediately becomes their biggest need. I love CJ but feel like he needs to be part of a trade for a stud SF.

 

I personally have given up on Collins being a starter at the 4. Not on him as a player. He’s at his best playing close to the rim, not at the perimeter guarding the likes of Tatum, Pascal, and others. Offensively he’s an awkward fit next to Nurkic, the only way to make that work if he’s suddenly become a very good 3 point shooter. Can he knock down 3s, sure but he doesn’t take them often enough to be a threat. I like the idea of him backing up Nurkic way more than being a starter at the 4. Heck I like melo starting at the 4 more than Collins, and I don’t even like melo. We are forcing Collins to be somebody that he isn’t at the 4

 

No we haven't. Speak for yourself, not others.

 

Okay I will change it, sorry bro. Geez calm down

 

You're more worked up than I am.

 

That'd be tough because Danny Ainge doesn't drink...he's Mormon I believe. My last client before retirement played sports with his Dad and told me a lot of Danny Ainge stories...good old Eugene product

 

Is it already like this in travel guides? lol

 

I'm pretty sure that the separation of Europe and Asia is a debunked myth.

 

This is how I imagine Bones whenever he's on the internet.

 

I wonder if Houston would have any interest in Whiteside?

 

That’s actually an interesting question. Theoretically they could use a big man like him but they love their small ball philosophy. I think they could be interested in Kevin love, so maybe a 3 team deal there. Of course Hassan would have to accept whatever deal he would get on the Cavs, but it’s likely a big contract with a starting job if they also trade Drummond

 

I don't think anybody wants Hassan with a big contract. Not worth it for a rebuilding team and he is not good for the playoffs for a contending team.

 

This is relevant to this thread:

 

Hassan is good but not 20 a year good. Who will the Bucks be willing to deal and what do they need to "deliver " a ring to giannis?

 

I could see the Rockets having some interest. Especially now that D'Antoni is gone.

PJ mf'ing Tucker

 

Not going to put us over the top, but I absolutely could envision Jeff Teague, Austin Rivers or Reggie Jackson being discussed. All fit the profile of a back-up PG for us. All would make the Blazers better.

 

Would CJ, Zach, Simons, and 3 1s even get Milwaukee to the table?

 

I really don't think they're going to trade Giannis but if they were going to trade him, I think they would also want Gary, Nas and/or Nurk. They would want players like Zach, Gary and Nurk that could have really bright futures and also contribute immediately since they still have Middleton and Bledsoe on the books for a while. I just don't see them having a fire sale and if they do, they obviously won't want CJ. I also think that if they are interested in CJ, it's likely as a piece to pair with Giannis, not for Giannis.
