Fake Trade Thread #6

[JustBuzzin]

Which would you rather have when all said and done.

Miles Bridges and #6?

or Brandon Ingram?

Bridges and #6

Yes, both want stupid money like every other player or 99% of the NBA in free agency.

Miles has stayed healthy. Ingram has not.

Ingram is the better player but his next contract could turn into a bad one.

I'd keep Bridges and demand Ingram + 21 for 6 + filler. Although I think that demand only has potency if Clingan is there for the Pelicans.

I don't think it's realistic anyway.

Bridges/Zion are basically the same height and have the same playstyle although Bridges is a bit more advanced as a shooter. I don't think the Pelicans would want Bridges at all.

I am not saying we would trade Bridges there, but more so if you get Ingram the chances the front office is also willing to pay Bridges is very low. So this would be assuming Pelicans accept #6 for Ingram.

The max for Ingram is like 5 years 245 million. There is a reason the Pels are willing to let him walk. If we pay Ingram the chances of the front office being willing to pay Mark Williams and Brandon Miller in a couple years is also very low. You can only really have 2 max guys. If you have three you are the Suns and things get very uncomfortable.

btw I'd do the trade for Zion. I wouldn't for Ingram. I would've done #2 for Zion last year too. In hindsight, it would've been a fair trade if that's all it included.

The Nets are clearly rebuilding. If they want to move Cam Johnson, Peterson should be on the phone with his old team and asking them what their price is. There's gotta be something we can take advantage of with either them or the Knicks. Julius Randle, Mitchell Robinson, Cam Johnson, and Dorian Finney-Smith might all be available for trade.

Get the interns to pick up a few cases of red bull Jeff and get to work, the next two days are going to be busy.

[yosemiteben]

If anyone was positioned to know something like this might be coming and to put a strategy in place to capitalize on the fallout, it's Peterson.

[amcoolio]

I don't really want any of the Nets players. DFS might be a little useful but not worth an asset to trade. Cam Johnson maybe if we take Clingan, but I'm not excited about that either.

Randle yes, but I doubt the Knicks trade because they have one scorer/creator right now and that won't win the playoffs.

[Diop]

what if Knicks miss out on Hartenstein, speak to Klutch and offer Randle for sign n trade Miles and Richards.

That'd be awful.

i used to really dislike Randle, but all the positive talk over the year made me entertain it.

why do you hate it, dont like Randle?

Honestly I would turn my attention to Randle as a Bridges replacement. This dude is a stud and all-star caliber player. He's also a traditional pf!

Get on the phone and go get Randle. He makes us a playoff team.

I misread. Thought you said Hartenstein for Miles and Richards. My bad.

[JustBuzzin]

I like that, but OG would have to leave for them to want Bridges as they play the same position.

Love the idea of us acquiring Randle. He's a DAWG! Also fits well with Melo pick n roll or pick n pop. He's also just a flat out better player than Bridges and gives true size at pf.


Get Julius Randle and I will be a happy man.

You could start the 2 bridges and og from 2-4.

We could probably have Randle for cap relief (Bertans) if we wanted. We could still sign Miles then and have a starting lineup of:

LaMelo
Miller
Miles
Randle
Mark

That's got 4 guys who can make 3's, play make and rebound. I'm not against the idea at all. Although getting OG would be better than having both Randle and Miles IMO, just not really possible.

This also makes Hartenstein more available, but I sense we could get Jonas Val for less and have the same production.

[JDR720]

I'd take Sharpe from the Nets as center depth. He's not better than Nick, but we need injury insurance.

Wouldn't touch Cam Johnson. He makes 26m per year. would rather keep Miles at that price easily.

I'd rather have Cam for the stability

Cam is good with me.

UNC over everything!

Not saying you have to trade all of them (you can match for Cam Johnson ala carte). The following spare parts add up to 30 million. Cam makes 24.

Bertans
Micic
Poku
McGowens
Thor

Micic + Bertans alone works for matching.

Adding Bryce and Thor still works.

LaMelo - Reggie Jackson - Simpson
Miller - Mann - Seth - NSJ
Miles - Martin - Saluan
Cam J. - G. Williams - Poku
Mark - Nick - ??

Nicely spaced. Grant and Reggie are culture setters. Seth too.

Get Jalen Smith for C2 and you're in business.

[JMAC3]

I think Cam Johnson is worth more than we are saying in this thread. I think they could have easily gotten a mid first yesterday if they wanted.

I would assume he is costing at least a lottery protected first, if not more.
