Trade Thread: Armchair GMs welcomed

Dunn for Eric Gordon
Dun for Tucker
Dunn, Felicio and a future first for Gordon and Tucker

Or, on a different not, Dunn for Josh Richardson. They need some cap relief too. And PGs.

Dunn for tucker all day long, the only problem is Houston will hang up on you.

Any chance Houston can give us something valuable for eating cp3s contract ......was wondering if this would be a good move if we land Garland in the draft this year and have a asset from getting cp3 and use him as a backup

[weneeda2guard]

Houston doesn't have anything that makes taking on cp3 contract worth it. If they had at least a top 10 pick then we could consider it. But at best it makes no sense to drop 36 mill per year for a 20 something pick who chances of ever earning even more than 10 mill a year is small for players selected in that range. Sure you could luck up on a Jimmy butler but the chances are slim that will happen.

Cp3 might have 1 more good season in him. But that still might only tap out at a 16ppg 8 ast type of season with 20 games on the IR. I just don't see the point at all of trading for cp3. Unless Houston can work out a 3 team deal using capela and send us a quality piece via that.

Does anyone say no? If so, why?

Chicago say no because it's beyond disgustingly bad for them.

Give up the 7th pick AND WCJ just to move up to 3 and take on DSJ? Holy f*** no.

If they wanted DSJ they would have drafted him.

[FutureKnicksGM]

Would you guys do Trier for Valentine #38 & a future second?

Trier gives Lavine a legit backup, and a much needed scoring threat on your second unit.

What deal would you make with the Bulls with the 3rd pick, 7th pick involved?

Something like 3rd pick for WCJ+7th pick or 7th pick+top 5 protected makes sense for me.
Man, I would love to grab RJ who is a great consolation prize to Zion and better prospect than Ja.

Would do #7 & WCJ, but doubt your real front office would.

[FutureKnicksGM]

I think Knicks will need to waive Trier to get enough room for a 2nd MAX.

Regardless, I like what 38 could bring us. How about Dunn/Valentine/Blakeney for Trier/Ntilikina?

We need to lose around 150k, hence why trying to to move Trier for a worse player on a slightly smaller contract in Valentine while picking up a marginal asset.

Pass on that deal, that's just a downgrade in prospects for NY for real reason.

What if we could sign Cousins and then draft Garland at 3. Use DSJ as a nice combo guard off the bench. Would it not help us build a more balanced team?

Garland/DSJ
Lavine/DSJ/Valentine
Porter/Hutch
Lauri/Porter/2nd Rounder
Cousins/Lauri

Is this not a better team then any iteration that we’ve had post-JB?? I’m not saying we should just jump all in on something like this. But we need to be thinking outside the box in my opinion.

I feel like this is just disrespectful towards us. I know the FO gets called out for dumb decisions but not even they would never offer this for **** Chris Paul.

Who the hell gives up a rising big man and a average bench guard for an old, soon to decline, expensive ass Chris Paul. Can that trade even work with just those pieces. ?

[jump]

I don’t believe it one bit, other than it was Houston’s offer. Last minute pull out? No, first minute.

[MeloRoseNoah]

It seems like that there are lot of reporters out there with fake rumors nowadays. ROFL at Lauri for CP3. Okay...

Soon to decline? Paul is a top 5 worst contract in the NBA right now.

There's thinking outside the box and there's lighting the team on fire and destroying it like you're doing here.

How many wins did we have last season? What is there really to destroy? And I ask again, is the team above better or worse than any team we’ve had over the last two seasons?

Unfortunately, a lot changed when we got knocked back 3 slots last month. If we want to get better, we either have to bank on key guys improving substantially, which could happen. Or we have to figure out ways to strategically use the assets that we do have. Either way, something’s going to have to happen right?

It's better short term but it's doing nothing overall.

Nothing changed moving back in the draft, we roll on with young players and develop them.

It's a rebuild, there's no reason to rush it.

Perhaps my proposal above isn’t necessarily THE way to go. But let’s say we stay put. Take White at 7. And use our cap space to sign a back up PG and other pieces. Where does that leave us? I understand that this is a rebuild. But don’t look now....but we are heading into year 3 of this rebuild. It’s about time to start seeing the fruits of this abomination that we’ve witnessed the last two seasons. Right? Not that we are going to magically become a contender all of a sudden. But if we end up bottom five again next year, it’d be a sign that something has gone wrong.

I was trying to be nice. Though seriously I think Paul is definitely declining but can still put out a good season. Still not trading my boy for him or that contract.

And it’s even worse since anybody can get a blue check long as they have the followers. So now it gets that much harder to sort the BS from the fact.
