Fantasy Trade Thread: 2020 Offseason

That's because you started out believing his credibility was > 0 in the first place.

Figured if someone was bothering to post the guy's rumors on here it might have some level of credibility beyond random dude making stuff up... But yeah, this guy's clearly full of ****.

Someone said he had the Morey to Sixers move early, so, if true, I’d give him a shot. However, he either has a connection in the Sixers front office, or he is a Sixers fan having fun with the trade machine.

He seems to be a throw enough **** against the wall that something's gonna stick. He's also "reported" deals for the Phillies, Eagles, and the presidential election... So this is either the most connected man in the world, or a guy that just throws out a ton of educated guesses.

[the_process]

The latest dart at the wall is Richardson to the Clippers for LouWill and Shamet.

Dude loves him some Trade Machine. I can respect that.

Did we lose out on Patty Mills?

Apparently that ship has sailed.

[freshie2]

What Sixer fan wouldn't love that return?? Shamet and Lou Will?

This guys a prophet

[youngcrev]

Is there a multi-team trade that makes sense where Westbrook goes somewhere and Horford ends up in Houston?

Maybe something like:
Rozier/Horford to HOU
Batum/Richardson/#21 to OKC
Westbrook to CHA
Chris Paul to PHI

DET gets Westbrook

______ gets Snell, Richardson, and 21

Maybe something like:

Chris Paul to PHI

Easy.

Westbrook to somewhere
Somewhere sends something
Ben and Horford to Rox
Something and Harden to Sixers

[76ciology]

A RW trade needs 2 kinds of return
1.) a treasure chest of picks or one of most promising young stars in the league that will convince the Rox to rebuild
2.) a top tier star that can play with Harden (i.e. PG)

The scenario of Horford to Rox and RW to somewhere means we trade Al for expiring and a treasure chest of picks (sort of what Presti got). Then we ship the treasure chest of picks and Al for RW.

Rox can now opt to ship the treasure chest of picks for players who can compete with Harden or use the treasure chest of picks as foundation for their rebuild.

I think that's a massive departure from what they'd realistically be able to get in return.

I feel im going to be the saddest Sixers fan if Harden dont end up as a Sixer. I may take a week or two week break from being a Sixer fan. Im literally just refreshing twitter every minute with the keywords “Harden Sixers”.

True.

But there’s a chance one of these sucker teams (like NY, Indy or Hornets) would overpay for RW. They dont really care about winning the championship, they just want to put some show on their court and make the playoffs to make money.

I could definitely see New York or Charlotte taking him, but I don't imagine there would be major assets going back.

[Olabikkel]

Charlotte: westbrook

Houston: horford, jrich, z. Smith

Phi: rozier, zeller, monk

Maybe Charlotte throws in a future 1rnd/2rnd or phi throws in a 2nd round pick also.

We get rozier instead of jrich for better fit, zeller as Embiid backup on expiring deal. Maybe Flip monk for better 3 point shooter.

Or If nyk gets westbrook we could get Some combination of portis, Gibson, ellington and bullock and/or knox. But think i like that less.


These are not great deals, but we get rid of horford and Dont lose 1rnd picks.

This is why it’s impossible.

Would Harden want to stay with him competing with Al and Jrich?

Does Rox had a good enough treasure chest of assets to go on for a rebuild?

[Olabikkel]

I see Your point.

Maybe Houston can get an upgrade by flipping jrich with the 1 and 2 rnd pick acquired and salary filler, but indeed difficult.

There is a rumour p George to hou for westbrook, covington and pick. Dont know How that works salary wise, but George is a potential star.

For me, it’s hard to believe the reason NY and CHA are interested isn’t because they think they can get a “star” for cheap. But you’re right, both orgs aren’t known for their sharp decision making, so there could be a misvaluation and an overpay coming.

It’s not because they are not sharp. But their goal is different.

These franchise are comparable to players who are just concerned for fame and fortune. That’s the reality not everyone is here looking to win a championship.

This is true. I'm sure a guy like Jordan would just be happy to have a treadmill team that makes the playoffs and makes money. A guy like Westbrook could help make that happen.

[youngcrev]

Getting a guy to sell tickets when you're not allowed to sell tickets feels counterintuitive

[the_process]

DAL gets LouWill, 34, and 2021 NYK 2nd
LAC gets JRich
PHI gets Wright, Shamet, and 18
