Detroit - Orlando - Portland 

Post#1 » by Village Idiot » Wed Jan 17, 2018 5:59 pm

This proposal builds upon the winning entry in the week 2 Weekly Trade Challenge by Armada.

Fournier + Isaac for McCollum + Swanigan

Why for Portland?
- Keep salaries under control
- Fournier a good fit as a 2nd/3rd option next to Dame
- High upside player in Isaac

Why for Orlando?
- Perfect fit as go to offensive player / #1 option
- Less upside with Swanigan, but a better roster compatibility with Gordon in the mix
- They get to keep their Top 5/10 pick this year
As a Portland fan I would accept trading McCollum for Issac but I am not wild about Fournier next to Lillard. Detroit is a team that could use his offense though and Portland could use a 3 and D SG like Avery Bradley.

Detroit trades:

Avery Bradley
Boban Marjanovic

Detroit receives:

Evan Fournier
Jake Layman

Orlando trades:

Evan Fournier
Jonathan Issac

Orlando receives:

CJ McCollum
Caleb Swanigan

Portland trades:

CJ McCollum
Caleb Swanigan
Jake Layman

Portland receives:

Jonathan Issac
Avery Bradley
Boban Marjinovic

When the original trade was proposed it made sense as we were winning.

Now we are in arms reach to draft Luka Doncic which I prefer gambling on rather than trading our recent lottery pick that showed great potential for a 26yr old getting paid 25 million a year.

Doncic + Isaac + Fournier > McCollum

Detroit & Potland does this trade in a heartbeat.

I don't like any of these trades proposed for Portland.

I wouldn't want Fournier on that contract, but I'd do McCollum deal.
