I think that Zach has to get a lot more comfortable with his perimeter shooting before that's an option. So far, he's nowhere near consistent in a contested shooting situation once he gets away from the basket.

In fairness, LA wasn't all that consistent in contested shooting situations either, which was a big part of the problem, since he'd shoot those elbow jumpers whether he was open or not.

WAS Gets: Aminu, Leonard, POR 1st
SAC Gets: Harkless, Swanigan, WAS 2nd
POR Gets: Porter Jr, Kofous, Labissiere (TPE)

Yuck. I like Aminu and Harkless (never mind the pick) better than any of the three we get. Porter is an asshole, and an injured one, Labissiere will be out of the league in a couple of years, and Koufos is okay, but old, and out of step with today's game.

Otto Porter Jr, not Michael Porter Jr...

POR Gets: Porter Jr, Kofous, Labissiere (TPE)

Actually I like this better:

WAS Gets: A. Aminu, M. Leonard, POR 2nd
SAC Gets: M. Harkless, POR 2nd
POR Gets: O. Porter Jr, S. Labissiere, Jason Smith

Washington saves $13M to duck under the luxury tax (creating a $13M trade exception for the summer), clears room for Oubre to start, and gets a solid Forward back in Aminu.

Sacremento needs SF help. They have too many good bigs (believe it or not). Harkless is still youngish, and they look somewhat competitive and dint have their pick this year. They have the cap room to make this deal.

Portland gets their starting SF whos a good small-ball 4, an Aminu replacement that can play PF or C, and clear the path for Collins to start.

I love it, I don't see the Wizards making a big move like that before seeing their lineup with Dwight Howard though.

I like it but that doesn’t seem enough for a guy like porter, despite his contract. It’d probably have to include our first, but I’d still do it.

 

[BonesJones]

Yeah it's not an immediate trade just something I think would make sense at the deadline if things keep progressing the way they are.

 

[hoopsjock]

Also, we might have a tough time including Harkless in any trades this year because he might not be able to pass a physical.

Yeah I'd do it too, especially since the 2019 draft isn't deep.

There's nothing stopping SAC from offering Labissiere, Kofous, and Randolph for Porter and Smith to get that Sf they need, which would be a better package because WAS doesnt have to take back long term salary and they get Labissiere. Without Sacremento having their 2019 1st, I doubt they'd offer a 1st in general due to the state of their team. So WAS might value two 1sts and a $13M trade exception if we offered it over that.

 

[BonesJones]

True. That makes things difficult. Would have to be Meyers, Aminu, Swanigan, and Layman to barely match Porter.

My neighbor shouted to me from across the car park the other night, "You're boy Layman fucking blows, Brah!" If Harkless is out for a long period of time, I might just have a good cry.

Give me Saric

 

[SheedSoNasty]

I wonder if Dragan Bender could be another buy low player for Olshey. One who just needs a change of scenery and system.

 

[rotary111]

I always thought Bender had a chance.

Yes I had that same thought. Could be had in free agency next summer. Probably could be had for the minimum. Will also still be eligible for a two way.

 

[Scalma]

 

[ripcityboy]

More than anything this next year. I want us to pick up a defensive minded guard with reach who can shoot the three.

 

[AFully22]

Dragan Bender can do everything Meyers does, and probably better, and could be had for peanuts.

Meyers really is Forever Blessed.

I don’t know if they’re defensive minded, but I’d be surprised if at least one of Trent and Simons wasn’t in the rotation next year.

Nope. Gotta be able to shot guys down. A defensive specialist.

Do those still exist?

Isn't Patrick Beverly considered a defensive specialist? He brags about it enough. I realize that he's a point guard, but there has got to be some SG's that fulfill that role.

I don't want this clown near my team

 

[Portland2014]

Kyle Korver is reportedly on the trade block while JR Smith has officially asked for a trade.

Would you trade Turner and Leonard for those 2?

Same contract duration and nearly identical contract numbers.

 

[TBpup]

No

 

[Portland2014]

Tristan/JR would be a better package but I don't think CLE would accept.
