    Oh lord. Bucks would take that in a heartbeat

    Giannis and CJ? That would be a dream to watch. + #10 pick? Talk about getting fleeced.

    That's one of the worst trade proposals I've ever seen.

    If the Blazers had "tanked", it would mean CJ didn't have the season he had, so he wouldn't have the value he has, so no, his original premise is flawed.

    WTF? I just posted the same thing.

    How could I be so wrong?

    I was just listening to the blazersedge podcast and they threw out a trade along the lines of CJ and Aminu for Vucevic Oladipo and their 2016 first round pick. Apparently from the Magic's side this is also a very real possibility. Personally, if this were a realistic trade I'd jump at this, then we'd have a lottery pick this year, Cleveland's 2018 top 10 protected pick, and our own pick to package for another star. Are these 3 picks packaged with some players for a guy like Paul George a realistic trade?

    A starting lineup of Lillard/Oladipo/George/any pf/Vucevic would be a top seed in the west.

    What is Orlando's pick?

    Regardless, that CJ trade is actually feasible... not like that Milwaukee garbage we saw last week. But, I am also on board with being a big Vucevic and Oladipo fan. I remember, though, that Oladipo isn't the greatest shooter... that could be an issue.

    Would those 3 picks + say Davis/Leonard (Or hendo) be enough for George? Probably not. They would want a bonafide star.

    Orlando has the 11th pick....... eh.

    Oladipo is a better defender than CJ.... but we'd have to be really sure that Neil could swing a decent free agent.

    Can Vucevic play power forward? Could he be paired with Whiteside or Dwight Howard?

    Vucevic is on a VERY reasonable contract. He has three more years left and he only made 11 million this year.

    He doesn't really have outside range, but he would be serviceable.

    So perfect world would be Horford/Vucevic?

    I've always wanted Vucevic... the guy is good on a bad team, but I think he could be good anywhere.

    I know I see the world through rose and black colored glasses, but I just don't want to trade CJ period. I like the chemistry CJ and Dame have with one another. And if we do trade CJ, I want a king's ransom. I guess that's why I am not a GM, but hey if David Kahn can become a GM, why can't I?

    Well, this trade could help backcourt defense. I like Oladipo, CJ is far better and Vucevic is kind of just a stat guy imho, that 11 pick could be Sabonis.

    I'd probably deal 11, and Plumlee for a higher pick (maybe around 3-5) to draft Brown/Dunn/Hield/Murray though.

    I can't help but think a CJ for Vucevic/Oladipo/#11 trade is precisely the opposite of the "consolidation" type trade everyone always wants. If we're trading CJ, it needs to be for the purpose of obtaining a player that is better than CJ. If (as was suggested) this were part of a three-way deal that returned us Paul George, then great; but outside of that result, I would not be interested.

    Hield is basically CJ 2.0

    If that were the case, would you deal CJ/Aminu/Plumlee for CJ2.0/Oladipo/Vucevic?

    Great we have our sixth man then. Maybe after all that madness we could deal Vonleh +(filler) to Chicago for Mirotic? Re-sign Crabbe, Harkless, Leonard in FA.

    Dame / Montero
    Oladipo / Hield
    Crabbe / Harkless
    Mirotic / Davis
    Vucevic / Leonard

    Idk if that makes us any better than we currently are.
