Power Move is Needed

[Hoopguru]

Would you trade CJ for Westbrook? Westbrook would play the SG and Dame be the PG. Westbrook gives us a big guard, who can actually post up, rebound, play D, ... except we just don't want him to run the point for an extended period of time.

Westbrook wouldn't know what to do without the ball in his hands.
The only place I see him ending up would be Canada as they could market him to the whole country.

 

[Hoopguru]

Need Dame in LMA's ear. Get him to force a trade back here.

Why would he want to leave his home town & son to come back here?

 

[maxiep]

I never want to see LaMarshmallow in the Scarlet and Red again. F**k that guy. He pouted through Roy, Oden, Lillard and Kawhi, always wanting the attention and to be handed the mantle of leadership. Then when he gets it, he shirks his responsibility.

I remember way back 75-77 the Sixers were loaded up with stars and ran into a team that played like a team. The lakers were also loaded with stars and we swept them in the semi's.
Sure we had the big Red head ( The best center to ever play the game) but a bunch of role team players and one enforcer brought it home.

Yeah. But Larry Steeles and Lloyd Neals don't grow on trees.

How do we match up with the Clippers? I'm afraid, we don't matchup well #1 (Beverly vs Dame), #2 (CJ vs Leonard) and #3 (Moe vs Hood) and #4 (PG vs Colins) positions.

I don't think that's what it would be:

Dame vs Beverly
CJ vs PG/Kawhi
Hood/Bazemore vs PG/Kawhi
Zach vs Harrell/Green
Whiteside/Nurk vs Zubac/Vet...and the Clippers go their version of small-ball with incredible length on the floor

The Clips are going to have a stifling defense and Doc knows how to coach defense

and one thing we know, is that most times, Dame/CJ struggle...a lot...against length

 

[A$AP Meyers]

 

[oldmangrouch]

Ya because a young project is exactly what we need!

You have an interesting definition of "project." There's no way Toronto trades him, but if they did I would take him in a NY minute.

 

[BigGameDamian]

I'd take Gallo!

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Sneaky move would be to nab Sabonis.

Rugged yet cerebral. He'd be a perfect fit.

 

[Natebishop3]

Meh....

 

[BigGameDamian]

Meh....

He had a great season last year!

 

[GhostOfPGA]

We aren’t getting Blake Griffin, the Pistons got a lot better this off-season. They could be top 4 in the east potentially.

 

[beast blazer]

Wait til Nurk is back and then trade for Blake using whitesides expiring

Yeah...steve would give us a solid 3rd string guard

 

[GhostOfPGA]

If Simons is legit... we have CJ to make a true power move as well.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Would Gallinari be a power move?

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Would Gallinari be a power move?

Lmao

 

[hoopsjock]

Who are we trading to get Gallinari right now?

OKC wouldn't want the extra salary of Whiteside because they are trying to cut tax.

Bazemore is the only player that works but if we trade him we're back to being too thin on the wing.

 

[Lukee]

Lillard - CJ - Hood ? - Gallinari - Nurkic

That's championship team. Everyone can score 20 any give night (okay Hood not so much, but still). Defense would be a worry though.

 

[TBpup]

Gallinari last year
20/6/2.6 on 43% shooting from '3'. No defense though.

Better than Love, better than Blake at this stage of their careers. yeah yeah Blake this Blake that, but he's always hurt.

 

[Strenuus]

Id take him.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Id take him.

Sure, if the cost is only Baze+Trent. No picks...

 

[hoopsjock]

Sure, if the cost is only Baze+Trent. No picks...

What the heck are we doing at wing then? We'd miss Layman even more in that scenario.

Hood, Hezonja, Little, add in another vet FA like Thabo?

 

[craigehlo]

Picks would be the only reason they would trade him. Tons on teams in the East like Knicks and Raptors would pony up at least one unprotected pick.

For Gallo? On an expiring deal? No way. The only reason Gallo was a part of the deal was pure salary reasons.

He’s a good player (injury prone, but good) but he won’t fetch a pick.

 

[craigehlo]

For Gallo? On an expiring deal? No way. The only reason Gallo was a part of the deal was pure salary reasons.

He’s not just an expiring like Baze or Turner, he’s still an elite scorer. Easily the 3rd best player on a title contender type guy.

Nah, he isn’t a third guy on a championship team. He is definitely more of a Lamar Odom (before crack) piece.

 

[Cugel]

yeah baze and trent for Dario ain't bad. think Dario and Mario, wow that just has to be part of God's plan
