Just call me Egyptian Cotton - extremely high thread count.

Trey Kirby from the No Dunks crew is a Bulls fan and said the Bulls would love Roco for one of their wings...they have wing talent they can't find minutes for

Please not DJJr. - for the sake of all concerned.

Giant trade:

Another one we'd have to wait on (not that it would ever happen).
Why it makes sense for us: gets us under the luxury tax and gets us a very nice young center.
Why it makes sense for the Cavs: they offload Love and those are three useful players for a contender. Allen and Mobley are too similar to stay on the same team for long, only Mobley's ceiling is WAY higher. (It's like a Nurk/Jokic thing.) But he's still a stick, so he could stand to play next to Nurk at least for a while. And let's not forget, CJ is an Ohio guy.

Provided CJ is healthy, that would make the Cavs legit contender if they aren’t already.

Sabonis’ value around the league seems mixed, but there are several teams in the playoff picture, such as the Blazers and Kings, team executives have pointed to as potential landing spots. The Trail Blazers have Jusuf Nurkic and Robert Covington available. Sacramento has weighed trade interest for each of Buddy Hield, Marvin Bagley and Harrison Barnes dating back to last season’s trade deadline, and Carlisle is known to have an affinity for Barnes from their time together in Dallas.

• The Portland Trail Blazers are expected to primarily gauge trade interest in Nurkic and Covington, but Larry Nance Jr. seems to be a target among rival front offices.

Aside from Lillard, I'd think that the two players other teams would most want are Nance and Powell--they seem like the kinds of players that fit best on the widest range of teams. Covington would have been in that category and I guess still could be if other teams think his collapsed game is all circumstantial.

most likely

something else: pretty sure no other team would be trading for Powell to start him at SF

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Rationale:
Rumor about Detroit wanting to unload Grant
Rumor about Pacers wanting to move either Sabonis or Turner (and Carlisle is said to like Turner better)
Rumor about us wanting to offload Nurk and RoCo

Lamb and Craig are just salaries to make weight. Craig was useful last year but Carlisle doesn't seem to play him and Lamb is just bad.
Why Detroit does it: Nurk is expiring but also they are one of the few teams that don't have a real center. Depends on whether they think Stewart can play the 4.
Why we do it: to make the Sabonis fans on this board happy
Why Pacers do it: improved balance and defense. They're suddenly a very good defensive team, which I bet Carlisle will like.

Team most likely to balk: Indy?

I think the players most teams would want are easily Little and Ant. Then Nance, then Norm. RoCo/Nurk/CJ's markets are so specific because of their age/game and contract status it's hard to come up with a good deal.

My prediction is RoCo is moved for 2 2nds somewhere. Same with Nurk, we may get some salary we can kick into next year. No clue about CJ.

Powell can't be traded for most of the year.

Powell can't be traded for most of the year.

He can be traded tomorrow.

EDIT: Scratch that, he can't be traded this year at all because of the salary increase. March 3rd is the earliest and that's past the deadline.

he can't until march.

I think RoCo will be much more in demand than Nurk. Every team that thinks it's a contender can use RoCo.

I don't think contenders would be interested in Ant/Little ahead of Nance and Powell. And I was mostly thinking of win-now teams, as I doubt Portland will be looking for win-now trades with teams that are rebuilding. Also, I think Ant, while a decent young player, is heavily overrated on this forum. Little I agree would be in pretty high demand if Portland offered him up.

But yeah, I didn't realize Powell was untradeable for this season.

Most contenders don't have 12 million in dead salary to move for RoCo. I went down the list and outside of Chicago I find it hard to see a market.

Part of the reason we like him is that he's a cheap replacement for CJ, so people think we can just ditch CJ for nothing and have Ant step in and provide a better (not me saying this) version.

But yeah, I didn't realize Powell was untradeable for this season.

Happy to educate you.
