Someone posted on a Mavericks forum this:

Harrison Barnes + Wes + Smith Jr.
for
McCollum + Evan Turner ?

Thoughts?

Very intriguing. I can see why they would want it. Cj would be a good compliment to Doncic. Doncic needs to run the point. Not sure he and Smith are a good fit.

I am a CJ fan and I would do it. Barnes is better then anything we have at SF.

This is what I'm thinking. Money wise it makes sense for us... we can give Wes a Portland hello then send him out at FA.

And for Dallas... holy damn CJ and Doncic together would be filthy.

Wes is expiring, Barnes can opt out, so it could end up being CJ for DSJ, and getting rid of Turner.

 

[trailblazer18]

And I don't see DSJ and Dame playing well together.

So a huge salary dump and a decent young player? Where do I sign?

Agreed. Itd need to be a 3 way where DSJ is flipped to another team

Agreed. Itd need to be a 3 way where DSJ is flipped to another team

But would we get someone decent enough to justify trading CJ? We can't just trade him for a salary dump.

 

[hoopsjock]

I'll post my response from the other thread:

Heck yeah I'd do that! Wes is expiring. Barnes has a big number for next year but it's still less than CJ and has one less year. I'm not a fan of Dennis Smith Jr but we could definitely trade him somewhere else (Suns maybe for Mikal Bridges?)

Honestly, I don't think we can do much better than that for CJ and we get rid of Turner too, sign me up.

The salary dump would possibly be the other two, as they can are either expiring or a player option.

But DSJ would not be part of the dump.

Pheonix would be the most likely destination.

DAL Gets: McCollum, Turner
PHX Gets: Smith Jr.
POR Gets: Matthews, Barnes, Bridges, 2019 PHX 2nd

I'm down with that.

That was my idea.

 

[tykendo]

DSJ's career has hit a thud with the acquisition of Doncic. Something is wrong with DSJ besides the injury. He's gone from a guy who was thought of, as a possible R.O.Y. ,to just another young player with potential.

Barnes and Wes? That’s interesting. Cuban might be willing to deal Barnes right about now, strike while he’s still stewing.

 

[Hoopguru]

Barnes would be a good addition and certainly Wes could plug right in too.

I'd be totally down with that. But Olshey....

 

[hoopsjock]

I saw yet another discussion on a Bucks board involving a CJ for Middleton swap. This one was CJ and Aminu for Middleton, Snell, and Ilyasova. I think swapping CJ for Middleton would be pretty good, like before ha ha. I'd like that trade a little better if we could throw in Biggie so we don't have to cut someone and save even more money.

Bucks board with another doozy....

Bucks get: Zach Collins
Bucks send: Donte, 2nd

Magic get: Donte, Turner, Blazers 1st, Bucks 2nd
Magic send: Aaron Gordon

Blazers get: Gordon
Blazers send: Collins, Turner, 1st

I'm not a big Aaron Gordon fan but his contract isn't terrible (actually decreases each year) and we get rid of Turner. It's tough to give up both Collins and a 1st so I could see this one either way. I'm guessing a few of you would love this.

They think DD and a 2nd is worth Zach? They've got to be insane.

If Turner, DD, and 2 picks gets Gordon, then you just cut the Bucks out of that deal entirely, and figure a way to do out without losing Zach.

IF the Magic would do this, could we get the Pelicans involved and reroute Aaron Gordon there?

Bucks get Zach Collins

Magic get Turner, DiVincenzo, Tim Frazier, Blazers 1st, and Bucks 2nd

Pelicans get CJ and Aaron Gordon

Blazers get Anthony Davis and Solomon Hill

CJ and Aaron Gordon seems like okay value for AD, maybe?

Yeah, I agree. The only problem is then that pairs Bamba and Zach (assuming he's the prospect) on the Magic and that would be scary if they both developed.

Once again, I'd cut the Bucks out. Zach/CJ/Gordon for Davis? Not a bad haul for the Pels.

I typed that before seeing your response to cut the Bucks out. If the Pelicans got Zach too why the heck would the Magic do the deal?

True, but we can't operate in fear. If we believe that Zach will become better than Gordon is, then we just don't make the deal. But if we want to get better in the here and now--that deal accomplishes that goal.

All Bucks give up is DiV & 2nd rounder?

Doing a little deeper dive on Gordon, I'm not super impressed with his numbers. They should be better considering he plays on a bad team.

True. Maybe we send them Simons. Or the Pels send them Diallo instead of Frazier.

Either way, the Bucks are superfluous
