    Of Equal caliber talent wise, regardless of where they are in their careers. What trades would've have won us the Championship?

    I am going Clyde and Sheed, unless you give me Prime Sabonis. Trading Jusuf and CJ.

    Starting lineup
    Dame Dolla
    Clyde
    Powell
    RoCo
    Sheed

    Bruh…… CJ and Clyde would not be equal talent. Not even remotely close.

    Nurk for Bill Walton

    CJ for Bobby Gross


    Dame / Powell / Gross / RoCo / Walton

    Walton was the best passing center to play the game. And Bobby Gross (1977 Playoff’s MVP runner-up in voting) moved without the ball like I’ve not seen since 1977.

    ball movement - spacing - player’s moving WITHOUT the ball - creates team basketball and team basketball wins.

    ps: I’d like to trade in Stotts for the genius Dr. Jack Ramsay - author of the “motion offense.”

    The whole reason we are stuck in purgatory is talent, so trading for a past Blazer of equal talent doesn’t help.

    But, how about CJ for an aging Pippen, and Nurk for Sheed

    Dame
    Powell
    Pippen
    Covington
    Sheed

    Nurk for Sheed seems to be the most popular one on here... I'd do it too and considering what we got in return for Sheed, this trade is probably realistic enough. I'm just left thinking about why all of us would want Sheed and it's simple he was a motherfucking monster. That dude moved around the court with such ease for a guy his size, he could hit from anywhere, when he was locked in on defense he could shut down any big and he loved the game. Goddammit I wish we had a Rasheed Wallace on this team.

    Officially: Nurk for Sheed and considering we got Otis Thorpe for Clyde I would trade CJ for championship Clyde (over the hill but still had it).

    Dame
    Norm
    Clyde
    RoCo
    Sheed

    Put Walton (or prime Sabas) and Drexler on this team and figure the rest out.

    Why you got to bring up the over the hill Thorpe for Clyde. Doesn't sit well with breakfast. Awful compensation, right there with trading Jermaine O'Neal for Dale Davis. I guess Neil wasn't the only GM who's made bad decisions.
