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

[Hey]

The thing I hate about a CJ trade is that it needs to be done, but we will lose the trade because he’s going to look a lot better somewhere else as a potential primary ball handler. He’s looked great here when Dame is hurt. He’s just not a great fit as the secondary perimeter player.

 

[Norman Dale]

Nurk and CJ for Beal and Bryant

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Huh, I was just saying today that I don't think Minnesota is at all interested in trading KAT, but who knows? CJ and Nurk and I think they will want Little also for KAT and Beasley or Rubio.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I vote we trade him for a guy who was top five in the entire league in Real Plus Minus this season until he got injured.

You should be our GM; you can show that to other teams when you try to trade CJ to them.

I don't care if we "lose" the trade if our team gets better.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I absolutely should. My first act would be NOT TO HIRE FUCKING JASON KIDD.

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.

Let New Orleans send them the draft picks, they have tons.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Two words: Christian Wood


Pascal's contract is too big.

Wood should not be available, and Pascal is making less than a half a mil more than CJ next year.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Philly wouldn't go for this one, but CJ/Jones (if he opts in) for Harris/Thybulle works.

I think Philly will want Little and Simons thrown in.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSterday!

Yeh, we could pair him with Melo; then we would have two legends!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

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.

One man's garbage is another man's treasure....

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

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.

You still haven't said if you would be willing to give up Little in a trade for Siakam, cuz I know Ujiri will want him....

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Here's hoping it's just because he's receiving his annual sack of money from Nike.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I want Masai to trade FOR Siakam, because he's the Portland GM.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Dame and DeRozan.
Coach Vanterpool.
Draymond and Love.

Let's go!

Yeh, I have thought about DeRozan, especially with Stotts out as coach. Involve a third team like New Orleans. DeRozan has a 3.2 BPM compared to CJ's 1.2 and a ortg 122 to CJ's 120 and Drtg 115 to CJ's 118. He averaged 7.5 assists per 36. This is one trade I don't think we would need to give up any additional assets.

[UKRAINEFAN]

Siakam is 27. That still seems young enough to build around.

Right. Toronto is in a good position; it will take a really good offer to get Siakam; we need to add something substantial.

You're trying to get me on board with this trade by including Rubio - well NICE TRY but I'm not going for it!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

CJ for Wood and Olynyk

I'd do that! Does it need a third team; I can't tell if Houston is rebuilding or not.

 

[Chris Craig]

The numbers work. They are definitely rebuilding

They would want us to take Wood/Gordon though probably and include a pick

If they are rebuilding, then wouldn't we need a third team to give them young players and/or draft picks?

They would want a pick from us.

Just saying the deal could be done without a 3rd team

 

[Natebishop3]

Great job Neil.

CJ tanked his value. Now Philly fans think it's laughable to try to trade CJ for Tobias.

 

[GDiama]

I think we need a forward really bad and since Powell is a very good player he can take CJ's spot.

My 1st target would be Ingram. Probably CJ is not nearly enough so i would give them CJ+Little+1st. If that's again not enough then CJ+RoCo for Ingram+Alexander-Walker

 

[wizenheimer]

the comments below that...lol:

 

[Orion Bailey]

I would imagine that the most likely CJ trade scenario would include a player that makes within $10 mil of his annual salary. This is a finite list.

Most are unlikely, some are undesirable. Which player makes sense for BOTH teams.

Players that make more than CJ (Maybe include DJJ):

There is a prism that I view this question through and that is we will most likely get Norman Powell and whoever we trade CJ for. So that means we can go out and shop CJ for a forward and what we get back doesn't have to be better than CJ for us to get much much better. Norm at SG without CJ hogging the ball is a much better player than what we were getting from him at SF taking Dame's and CJ's table scraps. So if re-signing Norm is contingent on moving CJ for a player who doesn't play Norm's position, that changes what the definition of good value coming back for CJ is.

The other side of the equation is that we if we get good size at PF, then RoCo can go to SF. We wouldn't end up being undersized all the time

Dumb Question:
Would you trade CJ + DJJ for.... Westbrook?

There is no such thing as a dumb question - except this one.
