    Buyers or Sellers: Buyers

    Untouchable Players: Zach Collins; Damian Lillard; CJ McCollum

    Notable Trade Assets: Al-Farouq Aminu (expiring at $7 million); Seth Curry (expiring at $2.8 million); Rodney Hood (expiring at $3.5 million; cannot be traded with another player); Jake Layman (RFA this summer); Jusuf Nurkic (three years, $36.9 million; $4 million partial guarantee in 2021-22); Anfernee Simons; Caleb Swanigan; Gary Trent Jr.

    Notable Inbound Draft Picks: All their own first-rounders

    Notable Outbound Draft Picks: 2019 second-round pick to L.A. Lakers or Orlando; 2020 second-round pick to Brooklyn (top-55 protection); 2021 second-round pick to Cleveland; 2023 second-round pick to Cleveland

    Best Salary-Matching Assets: Maurice Harkless (one year, $11.5 million); Meyers Leonard (one year, $11.3 million)

    Toughest Player to Move: Evan Turner (one year, $18.6 million)

    Most Likely Player to Be Traded: Meyers Leonard

    Salary-Cap Situation at a Glance: Almost $8 million over the luxury tax

    What to Watch: Can they acquire wing shooters capable of dribbling? Do they have a tax-evading move in them? Will they shed one of their less flattering contracts?

    Trade Idea:
    • Portland Trail Blazers Receive: Dewayne Dedmon, Taurean Prince
    • Atlanta Hawks Receive: Meyers Leonard, Anfernee Simons, 2019 first-round pick (lottery protection in 2019 and 2020; turns into 2024 and 2025 seconds if not conveyed); 2022 second-round pick
    File this one under "out of character" for the Blazers. They haven't been midseason movers and shakers for some time, and their first-round pick, despite reports to the contrary, never really seems like it's in play.

    Toss in the acquisition of Rodney Hood, and the Blazers feel done. Taurean Prince is a perfect addition if they're not. Portland needs more wings who can both dribble and shoot, and he fits that bill better than Hood.

    Coughing up what amounts to two first-round prospects is a tall order when Leonard is playing so well, but Dedmon functions as both cap relief and a frontcourt upgrade. If the Blazers are open to baking in another asset buffer, they can build a package around Simons, Evan Turner and that pick in exchange for Prince and Jeremy Lin.
 
If we could get Saric while keeping our 1st round pick but the crappy part is we help the Rockets too, would you still do it?

Here's what I was thinking:

Hawks get Harkless, Houston 2020 1st

Rockets get Aminu, Dedmon

Wolves get Taurean Prince, Houston 2021 2nd, Houston 2022 2nd

Blazers get Brandon Knight and Dario Saric

Keeping our 1st allows us to go after another trade too.

Why exacty are Zach and CJ listed as untouchables...? Nurk is on a much more team friendly contract and has out performed CJ most of the year...

Given those possibilities, I'd MUCH rather deal Turner for Lin than Leonard for Dedmon.

A healthy Brandon Knight is a solid pg. Saric would flourish in Stotts system. Do it!
 
So the Wizards swore up and down that they weren't trading Porter and Beal. Does this mean Beal is available?

Porter is paid pretty high. Would have been nice, but hoping for BG now.

what we're seeing is that expiring contracts have been integral to a lot of the trades

unfortunately, for Portland, there are about 3 times the number of expiring contracts next season as there are this season. This year when there are buyers of expiring deals there are only a few sellers. Next year will see the reverse. Blazers and good timing seem to fit together like motor oil and new carpet

Aminu and Curry probably have some value out there in addition to our 1st and Collins. Let's use them!
 
So Rodney Hood is gonna be our "needle moving" trade huh?
 
Such a weird deal.

I know Otto isn't much of a value on that contract (he's probably a negative), but I thought they could get more. And Porter doesn't really make sense for a team like the Bulls.
