    Oh ok, so he’ll fight right in.

    Joking aside from what I saw of him in college, I think he’d be a fit. He’s long, he’s athletic, he can shoot, and can even defend the rim a bit. I like the idea of him with Collins. Both skinny, but can switch on the perimeter and space the court.

    Interesting...

    Our defense might take a little hit but it gives us a little more depth. I'm not sure if Milwaukee would do it after cutting Zeller today even though they still need to cut one more. We'd have to cut someone too in that scenario or try to trade Biggie for a 2nd rounder or something.

    Yeah I figure the reason Milwaukee is holding off on their final roster cut is because they’re trying to trade Wilson. And yeah in this scenario we would just dump Biggie.

    Meh..I think we can do better if we wait to trade Aminu at the deadline if we choose to do so. I expect Aminu to draw a lot of interest around the league.

    I know you're joking and this is just playing along:

    No, first off Curry can't be traded until December 15th. Second of all, Phoenix needs to trim a roster spot not trade one for one. So it would have to be Ayton and another Sun for just one Blazer. Then I'm sure they'd do it!

    I have this image of a filthy, disheveled Olshey shuffling through alleys, picking through other teams' dumpsters.

    With the team possibly looking to get under the luxury tax this season with ownership up in the air, we have to look towards Sacremento. It's been rumored before that they're willing to trade Labissiere and I think he'd be a great fit next to Collins and Nurk as a 3rd big going forward. He's young.

    If we traded Meyers Leonard and our 2019 1st for Labissiere, it'd serve multiple purposese. It'd get us under the luxury tax, as well as give us a cheap 3rd big for 2019-2020 as well, which could be useful to replace Aminu if he walks. Without Sacremento having a 2019 1st and having a lot of young bigs (WCS, Bagley, Giles), that may be a trade they make.

    Why would sac do it? They probably dont want meyers unless were like 10-15 games under .500 at the trade deadline. The 20thish pick wouldnt be enough to make a team take meyers in my opinion.

    It's a solid deal if we were to rebuild.

    We already are in the middle of a rebuild. But no reason to trade our best player before a sale. That would be short sighted.

    Compensation to inherit the BBB circus.

    Ingram and SGA are elite prospects IMO. This is the type of deal you'd hope to get.

    I suspect he'll garner about the same level of interest as Ed Davis. Maybe just slightly more.
