With the Harkless signing, it's fair to say our summer is over. We have a log jam of players, a trade is likely in the near future. What would you like to see?

Thank you for that correction.Crabbe, Turner, and Ezeli are only restricted until December. Only FA's signed using exceptions (Meyers and Harkless) are restricted until January. Layman and Quarterman are restricted for two months (I believe).
I would love that but Indy has put a contending roster (for the east) around him.Paul George
Paul George
My high hopes trade wish would be:
Portland: DeMarcus Cousins
Sacramento: Kevin Love, Portland 2017 1st round pick, rights to Cedi Osman
Cleveland: Mason Plumlee, Al-farouq Aminu, Noah Vonleh
Dame
CJ / Crabbe
Turner / Harkless-Layman
Davis-Harkless / Vonleh
Cousins / Ezeli-Leonard
That's a nasty lineup.
Paul George is better than DMC, even though DMC is really really good
I think it might have to be a player out of left field or a player who might not be thought of a star currently.
At the moment, Cousins is on everyone's radar, and Sacramento knows that. I'm not sure we could compete with an offer from, say, Boston.
Looking ahead, which team projected to compete could fall off? Which player's value was once high but has dropped off slightly?
I'd love to land a player of Cousins' caliber, but I think we may have to start reeling in those expectations to a player of Brook Lopez or Nikola Vucevic's caliber.

Gallinari is not better than Parsons. I like Mitotic but that's just more role players do what's the point?There are plenty of unrealistic targets, LeBron chief among them.
For Portland to have a shot at a star-level player, he would have to:
1. Be on a team that is not a contender
2. Be about to be a FA next year, so the team risks losing him for nothing and may panic
3. Have a GM who's a bit simple, because realistically we can't offer as much as teams like Boston OR
3= Be a player undervalued by other teams.
Possible targets:
Millsap, if he doesn't get on with Dwight Howard.
Kevin Love, if LeBron tires of him.
Blake Griffin ?
My Dark Horse candidate: Danilo Gallinari. He's an injury risk, but at his best he's a rich man's Chandler Parsons, and he fits the mold of tall + good passer + good shooter that's all the rage these days.
Another possibility: Nikola Mirotic. Just wish both he and Gallinari were better defenders.
Didn't you use to be a Bulls fan? It would make sense that you would still have some bias still lying around.Chicago is insulted by that deal. *click*
