OT Predict the next star to (demand to) be traded

[Chris Craig]

Would you do this?

Not no, but hell no

 

[BigGameDamian]

Kevin Durant

Not till some other team dethrones GSW.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Agreed, I wouldn't either. But I bet we would've a couple years ago (ignoring the fact we didn't have Nurk then).

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I know he doesn't qualify as a star, but I want Dario Saric. He's buried on a Sixers team with a million other young wings.

He's not a wing. He's a lumbering big man who wouldn't pair well with Nurkic. In fact, he's kind of a smaller Nurkic.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Pat Conaughton.

 

[BonesJones]

Andre Drummond

 

[theprunetang]

Porzingis

 

[rotary111]

Chris Paul.

 

[GrandJury]

Anthony Davis.

He has awhile. He just recently re-upped his contract. I would say Boogie more likely

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

Klay Thompson

 

[calvin natt]

Nobody in Golden State would ever pull this - publicly demanding a trade. Won’t happen. It takes an organization that is poorly run and/or a punk of a person to do this. Which is why Cousins is a perfect candidate.

Yeah, nobody's like that in Golden State !

Yeah, nobody's like that in Golden State !

Haha

 

[Haakzilla]

LaMarcus Aldridge/

LaMarcus Aldridge/

They've made peace apparently. Aldridge won't ask to be traded. If anything, Buford will blindside him and trade him out of the blue.

 

[SIeepwalker]

LaMarcus Aldridge/

The title says "star"

 

[Carmelo Anthony]

Me, probably.

 

[Sarni]

Looking team by team, I don't see too many candidates. Kemba Walker is stuck in a team that's not good enough for him anymore but he's not the type of player that would ask for a move I think. I can't see Davis asking for a move, especially as he's intelligent and knows that he wouldn't get it now anyway.

Drummond looks like the best bet to be traded soon but even then I'd say that Pistons will probably try to move him on their own before he asks for a move himself. There are a few teams in the league that could use a center like him.

Mostly these players come out of a blue. Nobody expected Irving to ask for a trade last Summer, to be fair.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Porzingis

I thought about this, but I don't think so. Who wouldn't want to be The Star in NY? And besides, they can't afford to let him go.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

LaMarcus Aldridge/

Doubt it, especially given that he's currently the focus of their offense and they're doing great.

 

[BigGameDamian]

It was reported that Bradley Beal and John Wall weren't on the same page last season. So I say Bradley Beal.

 

[tester551]

They've made peace apparently. Aldridge won't ask to be traded. If anything, Buford will blindside him and trade him out of the blue.

For now.....
Let's see how many weeks that lasts.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Blake Griffin

 

[calvin natt]

Yeah, nobody's like that in Golden State !

Won’t happen.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Blake Griffin

Haha. Just looked and forgot he just signed an extension. So forget that idea.

 

[dviss1]

Me, probably.

Yeah.... We're good now tho...

 

[Rastapopoulos]

LeBron's not going to ask to be traded (because he's a FA at the end of the season for one thing) but this is pretty ridiculous:

 

[illmatic99]

KAT doesn't seem happy. But he's on rookie scale and will get a super max. Same with Devin Booker.

If things go wrong for TOR, Derozan needs to get out.

AD is my hope as always.

 

[Jon]

if they fail in the finals, or reach the finals, Klay Thompson.

either him or Whiteside.

 

[Schilly]

Historically speaking some crazy stat like 95% of stars leave upon fulfillment of their 1st real contract. So we would need to be looking at players drafted in 2008 or 2009.
