Who would you trade Lillard for?

[BlazerCaravan]

Since he's actually a shooting guard and we need a point guard, we need to trade Lillard and fast before the rest of the league figures it out. Who do you trade Lillard for?

My pick: Andre Drummond. We need a center, and might be able to pry him away from Detroit by offering Lillard and the #10.

Too late. The rest of the league has access to advanced stats too, y'know.

So he's worthless... Might as well cut him now since we'll never succeed with him on the team.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

An extended Dwight, Lebron James, James harden, Kevin Durant..... Anyone else?

This is on talent alone, harden is a probably btw. When it comes to contracts I think you still have to move him for Durant or lbj.

Discuss.

 

[OregonHuskerMan]

John Wall and Brad Beal for Lillard.

Bledsoe and Deandre Jordan for Lillard and Meyers.

 

[Denny Crane]

Toronto would surely trade Bargnani for Lillard straight up.

only if #10 is included

Only LeBron. Harden? GTFO!

Is this a joke?

SG is much harder to grab these days than a PG.

Yet you have a budding elite SG in Lillard!

Rose, Westbrook, Wall, Irving, A. Davis deserve consideration as well.

Rose, Westbrook, Wall, and Irving are all SGs, too, since Lillard's one. Why trade one undersized SG for another?

I will trade Lillard 2012-2013 for Lillard 2013-2014 and a Lillard to be named later.

Good answer. Repped!

I'd trade him for the Finals MVP Lillard.

 

[MickZagger]

Rastapopluous thinks we should trade Lills to the ACD league for Yesper Yesolokolozich.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I'd trade him for the Finals MVP Lillard.

But the Lakers don't want rookie Lillard.

I don't like the premise of OP, but the general question of who I would trade Lillard for? Most would be unrealistic, so let's just throw reality out the window and toss the obvious ones too (James, Durrant).

K. Irving: Lillard might end up being as good, but Irving has it now. Lillard could easily be a better pg, but Irving is a guy who could be a star of the next level.
Harden, Westbrook, Curry: good players now, but maybe not as impactful on a team as Lillard could be. Probable upgrade, but come with question marks.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

While my OP was definitely a troll, the notion of selling high to get someone very valuable is in Olshey's bag of tricks (Eric Gordon for CP3). If Lillard and LMA could get you a S&T'd LeBron James (for example), you do it.

 

[Harry's Raincoat]

I'll take the question seriously and give an answer; I'd trade Lillard for PG's - CP3, Deron Williams, Rose, Irving, and Westbrook. Maybe Jrue Holiday.
Of course, I'd also trade him for Lebron, Durant, Wade, MGasol, Harden, Howard. That's about it.

Irving's history injury, even at Duke, is a red flag, IMO.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I look at it a bit differently. Again, assuming he HAD to go for some secret reason, but we're still able to sell high on him...

I'd trade him for someone who was on a rookie contract, in order to maintain maximum ability to keep him. Put it this way: I'd rather have Dame for the next 8 years than CP3 for maybe 3. I don't like Deron-is-Deron much at all. Holiday is similar (and getting better), but already paid. Curry is paid, and pretty fairly, but also a bit fragile if I'm giving up Dame.

Wall and Irving would be intriguing, if Lillard HAD to go. The fact that he's in the conversation is awesome. For some strange reason, I respect the heck out of Rose, but I'd rather have Lillard for the price and not coming off ACL surgery. That could just be the homer in me.

5 years of Harden would also be interesting, but I think you'd need a PG.

Obviously LBJ and Durant, but there's no way I'd trade 8 years of a 22-y/o Lillard for Wade or Melo. And I would trade everybody BUT Lillard for Howard. Dwight can't get himself the ball.

Another tack is that I'd probably trade Lillard for MKG and Charlotte's Top 4 pick this year or for Davis if I had another PG lined up.
