You know what I want if Minnesota would do it - is figure out a way to do CJ and Collins for KAT - I’m sure they’d have to give some bad contracts up to make that work. Put KAT at PF with Nurkic at Center that seems like a good front court to me.

Yes they would but, Thibs is a Butler guy so I wouldn’t be surprised if he chooses Butler over KAT. I realize this isn’t going to happen, but I can still want it too lol.

I don't understand why trading CJ for a good forward "balances" the roster. You want great players at EVERY position. Would it have "balanced the roster" to trade Klay Thompson for Kevin Love?

They traded Monta for Bogut so Klay could start. Thus..... balancing the roster.

We don't have said Klay....

And let's not let one decent summer league fool us into thinking Baldwin is a starter. He needs to come off the bench IMO.

I’m not saying he’s there yet or even ever will be, but Trent Jr., is kind of similar to Klay coming out of college. Their Draft scouting comparisons were similar.

Or if we trade CJ we gotta do better than Wiggins.

I wonder what Wiggins and 2 1st round picks could bring back compared to CJ and 1 1st rounder? Wiggins is only 23 and is locked up for 5 more years albeit at an astronomical rate. I just wonder if there is a team out there that would think they could fix him.

What about this:
http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y99vfpn3

Blazers get Z-Bo (expiring), Iman Shumpert (expiring), Kostas Koufos (expiring), Buddy Hield, and Willie Cauley-Stein

Wolves get CJ, Evan Turner, and Deyonta Davis

Kings get Andrew Wiggins, Meyers Leonard, and Gorgui Dieng

Who says no? Would there have to be picks involved? The Blazers save over $14 million this season putting them below the luxury tax line. It also gets rid of over $52.5 million in contracts for next season (minus if WCS re-signs). I don't necessarily like the amount of talent coming back for CJ but it would basically reset our whole financial situation. Hield still has potential and I think would fit well with Dame. A WCS/Collins big man duo off the bench would be pretty solid too. Is getting that little for CJ worth getting rid of Turner and Leonard? Would the Kings owner sign off on trading Hield?

Smart ales answer : Neil because would say no too much paper work! - I’m kidding -
This is an interesting trade proposal. It helps the Blazers cap a lot it would be Buddy’s 3rd team already that would be a bit scary but he’s on his rookie contract so it’s not a huge cap problem.

Man, idk if thats what this team needs. Realistically I’m ok with the fact that we are gonna have to ride out ML and ET until their contracts are up or until next season around deadline maybe.

I’d prefer we traded CJ for a real wing.

I totally get that. I'd counter with a couple of things.

1) The Blazers could still make trades to balance out the roster more.

2) I know it's stupid to think of free agents and cap space, but if Dame could just convince one guy to come here next summer they'd potentially have enough to offer a max contract. They could go after a guy like Jimmy Butler, Klay Thompson, or Khris Middleton.

I’ve sadly given up on free agency. The only way to improve is draft and trades. I’d be very willing to try and swing CJ for Butler though. I think it makes sense for both teams.

We need a stopper, and someone who can put up at least 18-20 a night. Minnesota shows little to no interest defensively so, why not just get another pure scorer to go with KAT and Wiggins?

I kind of like the thought of a Dame, Hield, Middleton, Collins, Nurk lineup. I'm with you on free agency being a terrible option but worst case scenario we have reset our salary situation.

I say no. A huge no.

After two years, you end up trading CJ for Hield and WCS. So a much lesser version of CJ and an average 3rd/4th big man. I wouldn't even take Hield over Curry. We need top end talent, and thats reducing it.

I agree about the top end talent thing but getting rid of Turner and Leonard (plus CJ's money) without giving up picks to do so does open up the possibility of adding that top end talent a different way that isn't available currently. What if we got a 1st rounder from Minnesota and Miami's 2021 2nd back in the trade too? We'd be loaded with decent players on expiring deals we could combine with picks to bring in a wing during the season.

Still no. Why downgrade to try to hit a homerun in free agency in 2019 when we could keep the core intact and try to hit a home run in 2020 and have something to fall back on? It makes no sense to me. In 2020, we could likely get two future 1sts and cap relief.. future 1sts in drafts that are better than 2019, and we could have MORE flexibility because the cap should be $116M instead of $109M, and itd only be a year later.

We don't have a Klay to replace CJ. Klay was an upgrade.

Klay wasn't Klay when they traded Monta.

They traded Monta during Klay's rookie season. He was averaging 12.5 ppg, shooting 44% from the field and 41% from three.

Monta was averaging 22 ppg, 6 assists, and 1.5 steals per game.

Do we have a Klay? I don't know. But it's not like Klay was a sure thing when they dumped Monta.
