So these are my new trade ideas following what happened today. I don't think a lot of people will like them but I think they make us a contender next season.

The first is actually two separate trades that are contingent on one another. Ant to Detroit for Cory Joseph and Eric Bledsoe to Detroit for Jerami Grant. This trade actually puts us slightly back in the tax but the next one should take us back out. It depends on how Detroit values Ant but they need a big time scorer that is playing on the same timeline as all of the well rounded guys they've drafted... so I think they would go for it and after the trade below Joseph would be good to fill in for Dame while he's out and an upgrade at backup PG once Dame is back. While Grant is a great third option playing with two all nba players.

This one is more complicated, it involves a lot of teams and players:

So I think this trade makes a lot of sense for everyone but it might be a little iffy for Toronto. However Toronto doesn't have a true center, they don't lose depth at the forward spot and they get the first rounder. The Sixers get a guy that has to be in their list of players, a guy that can get his own shot and is very versatile on defense plus a second round pick that should be pretty high. The Pelicans get CJ who is rumored to be their guy and Bonga is just so the Raptors only have to waive one player.

For us between the two trades we get an all nba player that can play every position on the court, we get a star forward who is a fantastic third option, a role player that can start at the two or come off the bench, a 3 and D big man who could probably start or come off the bench and a really good backup point guard.

This season our rotation would probably look like Joseph, Hart, Simmons, Grant, Hayes, DSJ, BennyMac, Elleby and Watford with Snell getting some time as well. I think this trade would allow us to waive Cody and sign Trendon for the next few years. It wouldn't help the tank and we would probably end up in the first play in game, with Dame back and win it. It would be cool, even without Nas to see how a good portion of the team would do against top competition in a series and who knows maybe we could go on a run. Dame, Simmons and Grant are a very solid 1, 2, 3 and there would be a lot of good role players around them.

Next season we would be a contender for sure. We could start Dame, Nas, Simmons, Grant and Hayes or I prefer Dame, Hart, Nas, Grant, Simmons and before you start thinking that's a small lineup Simmons is as big as Bam Adebayo, he's more athletic than Bam and I think he's probably just as strong because when he defends in the post he's pretty immovable. So I think he would make a great post player like a bigger Draymond. In any event we would have a lot of flexibility, great defense around Dame and solid shooting around Simmons. We would be a really hard team to beat.

You did some good work coming up with that.

If you break it down into the actual individual trades, I think CJ to the Pelicans for that return could happen, I think Nurk, Larry, filler salary and a first for Siakam could happen and I think that Siakam and a high second for Simmons could happen. I know it's a lot of moving parts and a lot of NBA execs to make happy but it wouldn't be the biggest trade ever and all of these teams need change.

The Sixers need to get the Simmons situation over with and they would probably have to add something to get Harden whereas they get just a little something in addition to Siakam and Siakam would fit more seamlessly into what they're already doing than Harden would but Siakam would still give them that punch of scoring from both inside and outside that could really benefit them. The Pelicans need change just to finally get their asses out of the cellar. The Raptors need change to get them out of purgatory. We need change because what we've been doing doesn't fit together and keeps us in purgatory.

If I could get Siakam for those pieces i would maybe just do that and keep Anf. Then try to get Turner for CJ in a three way with New Orleans and Indiana.

With the emergence of Simons and the selling off of veterans like Powell and Covington, rival executives around the league believe the Trail Blazers will move CJ McCollum by the trade deadline or this offseason as Portland continues to reshape its roster around franchise star Damian Lillard. Several teams, including the New Orleans Pelicans, Dallas Mavericks, and others, are expected to have interest in trading for McCollum, who is owed $69.13 million over the next two seasons.

the one executive who voted no: rhymes with bone-in
 
Sounds like the Raptors would be willing to prove a FRP for a big. They ain't trading Pascal or OG, that's for sure.
 
can bledsoe get traded

if he can, what about bledsoe for dragic (we escape paying bledsoe 3,9 mil) and then we negotiate buyout with dragic
 
So CJ and Nurk for Siakam and Boucher?
We would need a center somehow. But we might anyways if Nurks walks

Mavs Trade for CJ McCollum Would Help Luka Doncic Erase Errors

Can Dallas unload a bunch of 'spare parts' (Dwight Powell, Reggie Bullock, and Maxi Kleber?) to Portland to get a CJ McCollum trade moving?
Click to expand...

Powell, Kleiber, and DFS would be a decent return, especially if the Mavs added a 1st, which they wouldn't. But it's not a legal trade because CJ's salary is so damn high. It would have to be Powell, Kleiber, and Bullock.

Powell and DFS would be nice additions, not Bullock. Kleiber...meh but ok
 
try this then, if Dallas really wants CJ:

CJ + Snell for Powell + Kleiber + Bullock

contingent upon Dallas agreeing to a Winslow for DFS swap

in other words: CJ + Winslow + Snell for Powell + Kleiber + Bullock + DSF. Blazers could add McLemore too if Dallas wanted a little more
 
Dallas knows they can't keep Brunson, so:

What they'd almost certainly prefer:

or perhaps:

...but that Hardaway contract is nasty.
 
If we did this:

and this:

We would be a helluva lot more solid with post players but would be a little weak on the wing players but if we wanted we could seriously just play a back court rotation of Bledsoe, Ant, DSJ, Johnson and Ben. We could even have a big front court of Larry, Boucher and KP with Precious, Trendon and Elleby off the bench for the rest of this season since we're not too concerned with winning. It would give KP and Ant time to build report.

Then we could draft a guy like Jaden Ivey or Blake Wesley to come off the bench with our pick depending on where in the lottery it ends up if it ends up in the lottery. If it does we could take Jovic with the Raptors pick or Beauchamp or Moore with their pick if we don't have one of our own. Also the fact is that we get Dame and Nas back next season.

So next season we would be starting Dame, Ant, Nas, Larry or Precious and KP with Larry or Precious, Johnson, a re-signed Boucher, Elleby and one or two first rounders filling out our rotation. I think that roster is a contender if Dame and Ant can be more than the sum of their parts and not less and if they can't then we trade Ant at the deadline for a wing or I guess we could trade Dame at the deadline for a wing too.
 
Then there's this. These would be three separate trades. The trades with NOLA and Toronto would have to be completed before the trade with Indy. We would buy out Satoransky and waive Cody. There's a chance we couldn't get the Milwaukee first rounder out of NOLA depending on how highly they value CJ but I wouldn't do the trade with them without at least one first coming back or the trade with Toronto without their lottery protected first coming back.
