    I think Doncic will be amazing. He’s not really that slow and I think his shooting is very underrated because of how many tough shots he takes. Someone has once tried to dig into his shooting and figured out that if he cut all long distance contested threes he would have been 38% from three last season.

    He’s incredible passer, has one of the highest basketball IQ in the game, he’s strong and tall. I like him as a prospect at all. Sacramento will be idiots not to take him but then again we are talking about a team that took Robinson, McLemore, Cauley-Stein and Stauskas in the top half of the lottery in the last 6 years.

    I just want Kawhi for CJ and the 24. Is that too much to ask for?!

    It would give us so much more balance and we could try and get Will Barton with the MLE. Dame with Kawhi and Will on the wings with Chief and Nurk down low. That's a really good team on both ends of the court. That team would be able to defend GS and physically beat them up everywhere. Just give us Kawhi... just this one time.

    Nuggets are trying to get rid of Faried's contract. This is the kind of deal we need to get in on with our TPE. Take on Faried's deal and their 14th pick in exchange of a future protected pick and the package 14/24 to either move up or for another player. I believe @hoopsjock had come up with this idea a few months back in my TPE thread.

    Unfortunately, at 13.8 mil in 2018-19, Faried is above our TPE limit of 12.969 mil. Maybe if we can swing this before July 1, I'm guessing his 2017 salary of 12.92 mil is obtainable. Been wrong on dates and salary terms before. Can anyone confirm this?

    Yeah, as long as it's executed before the new league year we are good. It would have to be anyway if we were trying to move up or trade the pick again.

    2 separate deals.
    1. Faried + 14 for TPE + 24.
    2. Harkless + Aminu + Layman for Parsons + 4.

    Faried replace Aminu. Parsons replace Harkless. We win #4 and #14 for #24 in the process.

    Stop with these asinine trade proposals already... we are not getting the 4th pick in the draft without giving up CJ!

    The 4th pick in the draft is a potential superstar... much more valuable than CJ @ 25 mil alone... Parsons is the cost to even trade out.

    CJ is a sure thing. Do you want me to recap the Last 15 4th pick in the draft? I understand your point but calling my proposal asinine is a bit too much.

    CJ is a sure thing one-on-one ISO ball chucker that is undersized and doesn’t play defense making 25-30 mil the next 3 years... the number 4 pick obviously is not a sure thing, but at the same time top 5 picks are where the highest probably of getting superstars come from... you have to assume some risk for reward... McLillard is a dead end... time to change direction a bit and give this city a chance... and the idea of Memphis trading the 4th pick for Meyers and Harkless IS asinine

    I'm bored and late to the trade party but I will give it my best shot.

    Trade: Harkless & Leonard for #4 and Parsons

    Trade: CJ & Swanigan for Love & #8

    Draft: #4 Jaren Jackson or Mikal Bridges....#8 Miles Bridges or Bamba or Jackson/Bridges if either fall to #8...#24 Omari Spellman or higher ranked guy if he falls. Long and athletic type.

    And no, I have no idea if Memphis or Cleveland would take either deal. For Memphis, it all depends on how bad they want to rid themselves of Parsons contract and with Harkless in deal at least they get some talent back.

    Memphis isn't swapping Parsons for equal salary of equal length for equally mediocre players and giving up the 4th pick to do it.

    Like I said, it all depends how badly they want to dump him. If you had the 4th pick and wanted to dump Leonard that bad, would you take on equally bad contacts? I don't see any team giving them a stud and taking back Parsons contract...other than Olshey of course.

    Can't combine the TPE with a player. And Jason Richardson has been out of the league for years.

    Josh Richardson? He fits in the Vonleh TPE.

    Thanks for the tune-up KeepOnRollin. Did not remember this.
    Trade machine fails the trade without us sending out matching salary.

    Is there a way to get Richardson?
    He would be a good role playing starting SF for our lineup.
