Way too early trade suggestions (2 Viewers)

What about something like this?



Bucks get their picks back and Towns/Grant/Robinson. Can shop Towns/Grant for value now or in the summer.
Knicks get Giannis and Jrue
Blazers get Bridges, Portis, Kuzma (possible send elsewhere), and three Knicks unprotected swaps in 2028/2030/2032

Blazers depth chart next season;

Dame Scoot
Sharpe
Bridges Camara
Deni Kuzma
Clingan Portis

We get an elite durable two way wing in Bridges who is younger than Giannis, clear up a lot of salary with Grant/Jrue leaving, don't lose any of our young core. That roster makes more positional sense next season than having Jrue. While likely less valuable than the Bucks picks those three Knicks swaps could be very damn valuable as Giannis/Jrue/Brunson/OG age in the next 6 years. Knicks under Dolan have a lot of history of not being able to avoid the lottery.

(for the 2028 swap from NY; While it is the worst of the NY/Brooklyn pick since the Knicks already gave the Nets a swap - it seems very possible that the Nets will still suck at that time. So that would be a third "unprotected" swap NY could send our way. The 2030/2032 swaps are simple, more valuable with only NY-PDX, as well as when the Knicks players decline more)

That backup group of Scoot, Camara, Kuzma, Portis would potentially be the best backups probably since the 2000 Blazers era.

One other benefit is reduced Blazers salary in 2027/28 since Jrue/Grant would be gone. That might make it possible for us to give Deni a contract extension.

Feels like the Bucks would want more, but overall I'm not opposed

I dont think Knicks would give up KAT, Mikal, & Robinson? maybe two of them? and them picks?

For Giannis? I think they would do it.

If there is any legs to the rumors that the Knicks want to add both Jrue and Giannis they are going to have to send out 3 players since they are so close to the 2nd apron. Remove Robinson and they have to send out Hart. I'd think they would prefer addressing center in a minor deal and Giannis can even play some C especially for small ball periods in the playoffs.

Yeah I think ideally if there is a way to get Towns to a 4th team with a young player coming back to Milwaukee. Maybe we also send Milwaukee Yang.
