I can't believe Olshey included a 2016 1st round pick and a 2019 2nd round pick with Barton, Claver, and Thomas Robinson, all in exchange for just Afflalo and Alonzo Gee. I often wonder...who did that 1st round pick (#19 in the draft) turn out to be?



Not a chance that Olshey goes after him. Too humiliating.

I always liked Thomas Robinson and never understood why he kept getting benched. The dude is exactly what you want off the bench, he's a rebounding machine.
 
I'm inclined to believe we are not pursuing Cousins. We don't have the assets to get it done anyway, unless we find a way to include CJ in the deal which we will prefer not to. Maybe Cousins at the beginning of the season could be attainable with other assets but after new CBA which gives Sac a great chance to retain him next year, nah.
 
And for Butler you absolutely must give up either CJ or Lillard. He's a top player in great from, if Chicago are looking for offers they will want something which will allow them to build their future on, not scrubs. Last Summer they were rumored to be willing to trade him for Minnesota's pick (which turned into Dunn) and some fillers but he was in a different position back then, not quite the All-Star quality he has displayed since. I bet the likes of Philadelphia, Boston and Minnesota now regret not swapping their players or picks for him. Boston would have probably got him for Smart plus #3 pick. I still fail to understand why they didn't trade that pick and went with Jaylen who was projected 5-7, he's played 13 MPG with 5 PPG so far and it's almost halfway through season so it's not like they needed him badly NOW and they are in win now mode with Thomas, Horford and Bradley all at their peak.
 
I say we let it bake. It's a proven winning recipe with us. Plus, our players are so much more valuable than who we would get back. Heck, another 5 or 6 years and Meyers will find his game. Too early to shake things up

I know, but you gotta give to get. Was tempted to also suggest Layman/Connaughton for Wiggins, but I didn't want to gut the entire roster.

We should not be overpaying for Wiggins. In no way is he worth giving up Connaughton for.

What would you guys think of a CJ+Picks for Jabari/Henson type deal?
Click to expand...
I suggested a CJ for Jabari thing and got dumped on. I like CJ more than Jabari but that trade would make both teams better balanced.

I would rather a Lillard for Giannis though. Of course, we had a chance for CJ for Giannis in 2013.

Are the Bucks rumored to want to trade Parker?

No. Him and Giannis are tearing teams apart. They will get their shooting guard back in 2 months too (Middleton) and Brogdon is a good talent. They won't be looking for trades IMO.

Probably not but the Bucks don't have a guard like CJ (well, they have Terry but he is done). They don't really have an ISO guard. Add CJ to the Bucks and I think they rival the Cavs imho.

Yes the Blazers would be better balanced this year, but the key thing that you said was you like CJ more. That should be the bottom line, because NBA rosters can quickly change and what happens when we get a SF who is as good as Jabari? Then we wish we had CJ again. The only way I make a trade mid season to balance out a roster, is if we are legitimate contenders that particular year. Otherwise I say we keep the better player and worry about balance later.
 
Also is rumor Wesley Matthews available and Arnowitz says GMs tell him Dwight Howard's trade value is a low 2nd rounder.

I wonder why. They only have two bigs.....Nurkic and Jokic. Seems odd to me. Does Malone not like his defense abilities?

Edit: here is one reason

"Jusuf Nurkic is not happy with his diminished role and may be dealt for a veteran capable of helping the Nuggets reach the playoffs."

give em Davis

Denver openly shopping Nurkic

Not that interested now I know he's high-usage. Wouldn't fit with Stotts. He had great defensive numbers last year, but that might've been a fluke.

Portland interested in Tyson Chandler

GOOD! Makes perfect sense. Although I think of him as a shotblocker and he just isn't any more (0.4 bpg this season).

Scalma said:
Nets want two firsts for Lopez
Click to expand...

Tired of not having draft picks. Nets should know that whatever the picks, they'll fuck them up. Also: I like Lopez but he averages fewer than 6rpg. If we were otherwise a good rebounding team we could handle that, but we very much are not.
 
Chandler has two more years at 13m and he is already 34. I don't think this move would be any help. It's not that if we sign him we become a contender anyway. We need someone younger and more athletic.

POR: Jabari Parker, John Henson

MIL: CJ McCollum, POR 2017 1st round pick (Top 8 protected), CLE 2017 1st round pick

CLE: Al-Farouq Aminu

BRK: Festus Ezeli, rights to Dani Diez, MIA 2021 2nd round pick (POR owned)

Would you do this? Potential lineup would look pretty balanced.

Lillard / Napier
Crabbe / Turner
Harkless / Layman
Parker / Davis / Vonleh
Henson / Plumlee / Leonard
 
From a heat blogger, who knows how reliable, who cares, it's fun to talk about it either way

 
Scalma said:
Btw Lowe did mention that the heat are sellers and that literally everyone is available, including Whiteside. They're probably about to tank.
Click to expand...

Now that one I would go all in on the chase!

Both our picks/ Ezeli/Plums/Davis?


Then trade CJ to Phi for the pick that will get us Josh Jackson?
 
Miami would probably not be interested in big contracts (Crabbe) but I could see something like an unprotected first, clevelands first, a 2018 protected first, Ezeli, Davis, and Vonleh for Whiteside.
