If CJ were to be traded, who are we most likely to get?

Siakam would take so many draft picks thrown in to even get the Raps' attention, I don't see that as realstic.

CJ is only getting you back distressed, overpaid assets. Kevin Love, Porzingis, Steven Adams, Horford and Hield type contracts. Maybe a young prospect or pick thrown in.

The only hope is a player like Beal or PG is disgruntled after a 1st round exit and forces the front office to make a quick move.

I would add Gordon Hayward to that list.
 
So many rumors about Neil, Stotts, CJ. Even ownership and Dame. If the Blazers loose the first round it's hard to speculate what might happen.
 
Don't think you can get it to work with the contracts under the CBA.

I'm assuming Embiid, Simmons, & Harris are off limits.

They'd have to send out ~$22-23M in contracts to get CJ on the team. The only contracts of size they have are Hill ($10M) & Curry ($8M). Thus it would have to be a 6 for 1 deal.
Even these 5 players don't have enough salary to make a trade legal:

CJ to Philly doesn't make sense unless Harris is out. Philly wouldn't go for this one, but CJ/Jones (if he opts in) for Harris/Thybulle works.

If Powell re-signed, this team would be very balanced.

Lillard/Simons
Powell/Thybulle
Covington
Harris/Little
Nurkic/Collins
 
Look what Houston got for Harden...a broken Oladipo, Kurucs, and a handful of picks that probably won't amount to anything.

So, what would CJ get

To be fair, they could have had Levert and Jarret Allen, which makes the package a little better.

They chose poorly. Some of the other RUMORED packages were much better IMO.
Yeah they could’ve gotten Ben Simmons but they decided not to for whatever reason. Most likely something having to do with Morey being the Philly gm though
 
I think Tobias Harris is someone we can realistically get especially if we included RoCo in the package. Siakam is a possibility in a three team deal. Maybe Paul George or Kawhi if they lose to the Mavs and want to join Damian. That’s a big if but something fun to think about lol
 
I think it's very realistic, if the Raptors are going to trade Siakam in this major rebuild they're doing, that we can trade CJ to the Knicks for picks and prospects which will go to Toronto, we may have to include a future first as well but we could end up with Siakam. If Philly loses in the next round then I could see us getting Harris for CJ straight up. I think the Mavs would probably do CJ and Nurk for Porzingis, Finney-Smith and Burke.

Honestly I think there would be a lot of trades out there for CJ that bring us back real value. I think a three team trade with the Knicks could bring back a lot of different guys from other teams who are looking for young pieces and cap relief. So there actually is a lot out there.

if we are getting a Dallas guard it should be Brunson.

Again - we've discussed this trade ad nauseam. And then Daryl took charge and acquired Curry and drafted Maxey WITHOUT giving up Harris. And Harris proved himself invaluable. And why the fuck would we give up RoCo? One step forward, two steps back.

The Nets could always Nets like before and suck so some of those future pics might be good. Pics in '24, '26 might be good, same with swaps in '25, '27. Though you are partial right in that half the pics are total shit for now.

Siakam has struggled this year, and they have replacements on hand. He's been in a variety of trade rumors. They're definitely listening to offers. I don't think he'd be as expensive as you think.
 
The two I thought of were Tobias Harris or Khris Middleton. Cj would be great next to Giannis. They have Holiday, I know. But i still think CJ on their team would be strong.

If you want those guys for CJ, prepare to give up multiple first round picks.

You can get trash like Buddy Heild, Kevin Love or Steven Adams. They would likely all be a better fit here too than CJ.
 
This is the terrible situation we've found ourselves in. No one wants this guy. We held onto him about 3 or 4 years too long. It would be a miracle if we get equal value back for that contract.
