I think they will want more than we can give them. Someone like Crabbe will almost certainly not interest them.
 
I feel like we are in the offseason again just waiting on moves. Watch one never be made...

Would they like Harkless?

I'd really like to get Whiteside without giving up Harkless. If we trade Harkless then we improve at C but take a huge step backwards at SF, which is the hardest position to find talent at (along with SG).
 
Harkless, vonleh, ezeli, 2 2017 1sts, 2019 1st for Whiteside. What say you?

Eek. I might get ridiculed, but I'd be hesitant to spend all those assets. It that's what it actually took, I might do it - but that certainly wouldn't be my first offer. My first offer would be Ezeli, Plumlee, Meyers + ours/CLE's 2017 picks.

Yeah, first glance, I don't love it, but then I try to think of it as a Miami fan. I dunno. Plumlee rfa status is tough on them. Harkless locked in relatively cheap. Vonleh still with upside to try out for them. I dunno.
 
Whoever made the Lillard for Giannis trade idea, please stop. CJ for Jabari and Henson? once again please stop with these really terrible ideas. That is insane
 
I got a better trade idea though. Package both Lillard and CJ for Jeff Withey. OMG BEST IDEA EVUUUUUUURRRRRR
 
I would give up literally anything for Whiteside if it meant keeping CJ (and dame for you smart shits)

If we get Whiteside to team up with CJ and Lillard, we could have dunleavy at SF and still win 50 games.

I strongly disagree. You will need a better than average defender first in that position( I think Hark can become one). You will need someone who cna stop some guys from getting to the lane, so Whiteside isnt fouling out in the third quarter every third game.
 
If we trade for Whiteside and keep Dame/CJ, then we also need to keep Harkless & Turner, or replace them with an elite defender.
 
Who wouldn't look at a deal for Whiteside for either Dame or CJ?

You have to give to get. Their not going to take Pat and a 2nd. We would certainly miss either one of them for sure. But we always overvalue our players in a trade. I know I do.

Giving up dame for basically anything realistic is just foolish.
 
I would hate to give up either one of them, unless we had the chance to become a contender with that trade.
 
Don't be suprise if Neil goes after Okafor from Phil. Phil finding out they don't have enough minutes 3 good young big men. I would give them Cleveland 1st and Vonleh. They might want Crabbe I would consider that to free up cash for us.

God no on Okafor
 
Yes, it looks as if it may be Okafor rather than Noel who is available; or else Noel's price is going up by the day, because he is establishing himself as healthy and playing well. Also Jimmy Butler is playing so well, the price will be really high on him if they trade him at all. I still think Ibaka may be available and not for such a huge price. Otherwise we are left with guys like Bogut or Monroe (and I'm not sure about him, he has been playing very well as a reserve, scoring rebounding and quite a few assists also.) Oh, and I almost forgot Milsap, I wish BNM would get in here and explain why he might be a good get.

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

Recent link about Whiteside. They're talking CJ:

NBA TRADE RUMORS: MIAMI HEAT LOOKING TO SHIP HASSAN WHITESIDE, THREE POSSIBLE TEAMS TO GET HIM

Portland Trail Blazers
This one is gaining a lot of steam and has trumped the Celtics rumors. Portland may just be Hassan Whiteside’s next team and it could boost the team’s chance to make a deep playoff run. According to the source, the trade will focus on Hassan Whiteside and CJ McCollum and may just benefit teams right away. Hassan Whiteside already considered Portland as his second choice during his free agency run.

Whiteside will give the Blazers a massive upgrade in shot blocking and rim protection as well as compliment Damian Lillard with his improved pick and roll play. The Heat, on the other hand, will have a dynamic backcourt of Dragic and McCollum that will massively address their scoring woes. Hassan Whiteside for CJ McCollum may be the blockbuster trade for this season.

Some of y'all might want to jump on this. Think CJ's Poison Pill may make Miami wary? I'd like to get HW without giving up CJ.

Then he should have just signed here so we wouldn't have to give up our 2nd best player in order to get him 6 months later. If this trade goes through I'm going to be hard on Hassan until we get to the WCF.

Doesn't matter, If we would have signed him, and then when CJ's contract kicked in we would be stuck with the three of them and a bunch of scrubs and that isn't enough. Three max on one team is leaving the team too strapped. The only way you do that is if its Dame, LBJ and KD or something.
One of the three would have had to budge on taking less or would be moved to make room for some key role players. Key role players aren't cheap anymore. just ask Turner and Crabbe.
I don't think the three can exist on the same team with their contracts because of the money.
With that said I hear ya. Would LOVE to have all three and still have flexibility to fill in the gabs.
 
Here is a good one I'd definitely take.

If Bryan Colangelo is finally ready to cash in on Sam Hinkie’s assets, trading for McCollum would make sense. Here’s an idea to mull over: The Blazers send McCollum to the Sixers for Noel, the Sixers’ unprotected 2017 first, the Kings’ top-10-protected 2018 first (which is becomes unprotected in 2019), and multiple second-round picks. There would be financial kinks to work out because of the poison pill, but that would be the base offer. If you’re a Blazers fan, your first reaction is probably to click out of this article, but wait! A trade of this magnitude accomplishes two big things: In Noel they would have a young, elite rim protector who fits on both ends, and it would provide Portland general manager Neil Olshey with the flexibility to retool in a way more conducive to title hunting. The Blazers would probably say goodbye to the playoffs — as bad as Lillard and McCollum are together on D, the Blazers are even worse on defense when Lillard is on the floor without McCollum — but that’s kind of the point here. With threefirst-round picks in a stellar 2017 draft, Olshey would have tons of ammo to put them in the conversation for superstar trades. If they kept those picks, they could find players that are better fits alongside Lillard, like Washington combo-guard Markelle Fultz or Duke forward Jayson Tatum.
