That is an awesome deal. Linsanity AND Vinsanity on our team??? Do it Neil!!
 
Would Milwaukee take this at the deadline?

POR Gets: Malcolm Brogdon, George Hill, Jason Smith, D.J. Wilson
MIL Gets: C.J. McCollum, Al-Farouq Aminu, Seth Curry

Considering Brogdon has a cap hold of about $2M-$3M next season, that could be a great 2ay to clear up cap space whe getting a better, bigger two-guard who's a great fit. Aminu is switchable with Giannis and Middleton and provides needed depth at the 4, and Curry could be a solid fit and replacement for Hill.

Evan and our pick to Sacramento for Koufus. Gets us under the tax and gives us flexibility for the summer since Koufus is an expiring.

Man, I'm torn. In general, I hate giving up a pick just to dump a bad contract one year sooner. OTOH, how much value does a pick actually have in Olshey's hands?

Unless we’re talking about the lottery, I think it’s a much better idea to use the pick to dump one of these shit contracts. I don’t care about the luxury tax, it’s not my money, but I do care about opening up the full MLE and getting veterans that can actually help. Acquiring another rookie in the 20s only gives Olshey an excuse to stay longer.

Would they need a pick? Koufos does very little for them (backup 5, but Giles can and probably should fill that role), whereas Turner would at least supplant Ferrell if not Shumpert in their rotation. It's arguable that they would be a better team for making that deal, irrespective of the pick. They're currently 9th in the conference. If they're shooting for the playoffs... :dunno:
 
I don't know any trade would help us. As long Stotts still here because he's offense is not balanced type offensive. As long you have Dame and CJ on the team you never have that balance. I think both players are real good offensely and don't get me wrong but when you got two guards taking almost 50 percent of the team shots then it shows me there no balance. To me if I trade one of them it be CJ due to I don't think he makes other players around him better.

That’s still a shit contract though. Don’t see them eager to add a role player for $18m unless they’re getting something else. And they don’t have a first round pick, so they could use it.
 
CBS Sports had an article about players that needed to be traded. There are no Blazers on the list but for Hassan Whiteside they list Portland as one of 3 potential suitors.

We need a wing, not a center!

Seems like that idea was based when Whiteside was a target and before we got Nurkic. Some reportes have a hard time moving on. Makes no sense.

I think your best bet would be sending them ET and our 1st for Kofous and their 2nd.

Then we can take Robert Franks so then I can flex and talk about how I dropped 16 points on 7 shots against a Blazer before.

I like Rodney Hood. He would be a good fit too.

I don't even think he's necessarily good, but he's much better than Stauskas, and for a bench unit that has no one that can consistently create their own shot, he'd be a big help.

Not knowing Hood's situation would he accept a trade to the Blazers? He's playing on the QO this year so he has veto power and loses his bird rights if traded. Currently the Blazers don't have money to pay him.

Nobody giving any feedback on this?

I think this would be a great trade, for now and for the future.

Do this, then follow that up by trading ET and our 1st to Sacremento for Kofous and their 2nd. Trade Harkless to New Orleans for Wesley Johnson, Darius Miller, and their 2nd (they wanted him in the past), and then use SAC's and NOP's 2nds to offload Meyers. It might have to be differently but I think we could off-load those contracts for expirings somehow.

Going into the off-season you'd have
Lillard - $29M
Nurkic - $12M
Collins - $4M
Brogdon - $4M cap hold?
Wilson - $2M
Simons - $2M
Swanigan - $2M
Dead Money - $5M

Total Against Cap - $60M
Cap Space - $46M

So $46M in cap space to add to 4 starters in Lillard, Brogdon, Collins, and Nurkic. We could then
- Go after Cousins by trading Nurkic for a pick and cap space ($57M in cap space after that).
- Go after Klay Thompson (Bring him home, maybe GS doesn't offer him the max if they keep KD?)
- Go after Khris Middleton

The fall back plan would be having $46M to fill our starting SF roll and to fill out our bench. There's a number of very solid roll players available that I'd like.

This is my PLAN A.

If he thinks it wouldn't hurt his payday at all, I assume he would. Sounds like he wants out of Cleveland.

- Go after Cousins by trading Nurkic for a pick and cap space ($57M in cap space after that). Cousins wanted to come here last year and we were (reportedly) the only team to offer him over $10M a year. He's tight with Dame. I think we could land him and finally have a legitimate 2nd star.
- Go after Klay Thompson (Bring him home, maybe GS doesn't offer him the max if they keep KD?)
- Go after Khris Middleton

The fall back plan would be having $46M to fill our starting SF roll and to fill out our bench. There's a number of very solid roll players available that I'd like.

After signing Cousins for $30M a year (apx.) we'd have $28M in cap space. Maybe we could get Khris Middleton for that amount? I like that idea. Lillard/Brogdon/Middleton/Collins/Cousins would be a contender IMO.
 
BTW, George Hill is eligible to be traded with other players on February 6th.

The trade deadline is February 7th.

Ha, I have that topped as I had a block against an ex NBA player who has been inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame and was a 6 time NBA all star and 3 time NBA leading scorer.. He was 6'8" and I was only 6'. He was also 44 and I was 20, but I doubt that had anything to do with it, lol.

Sounds great, but I don't think Milwaukee is interested in tieing up 25+ mil in CJ and hurting their chances of resigning better players in Bledsoe and Middleton or any other FA's next summer for what would be fairly limited short term gain.

They're going to have to pay Brogdon around $20M a year in the off-season. I hope theyd do it, that'd be such a perfect move for us.

They don't have to. And he feels more like a 12-15 mil per year type player.

But regardless, this deal still feels too much like wishful thinking / banking on a Horst being dumb. Gainnis playing at an MVP level at 24 gives them a long window of contention and championship possibilities.

Considering this, I don't see how CJ makes much sense for them. He's a limiting factor in so many ways.

Brogdon will get paid by a team like Phoenix or Orlando. He's worth about $20M IMO. We'll see though.

The thought is that Curry and Aminu would be an upgrade over Hill and filler, and those two guys are great fits for them.
