Steven Adams

I'm sure Grunfeld will be falling all over himself to replace Porter with Grant.

I meant Adams and Grant for porter, not Grant for Porter. Also, don't give Ernie too much credit. It's a possibility.

Even still—Gortat's still solid, and I don't think Adams is enough of an upgrade over him (even long-term) to make up for the drop from Porter. Grunfeld is dumb but probably not that dumb.

We're screwed from every angle possible. It's so disheartening.

Players from the teams you mentioned, who I could see as an possible trade-partner are:
Wolves (maye Lavine, but i think they might be more interested in Roberson)
Suns (don't know their roster that well, but they are probably more interested in developping their bigs)
Kings (do not think they are interested in an additional Center, maybe for Collison+Koufos)
Celtics (maybe Crowder if they aquire a better SF (Hayward), but i think they would want a lot in return, i could see them as a possible destination for Westbrook)
Hornets ( do not think they are interested, because they have Zeller who is way cheaper and has a somewhat comparable skillset)
Bucks (i think Adams would fit very well on their roster, don't know who they would give up for him/maybe their pick+Henson?)
Knicks (I could see them giving up Lee, don't know if that is fair value; can't see Melo giving up his no trade-clause for being traded to us, don't know if i would like that(maye for Kanter?))
Wizards

Wolves would be a tough fit as they would need to send OKC Dieng who is cheaper and a better defensive player. If they want Roberson they can make an offer OKC couldn't match without either going into the tax or being forced to move one of their bigger contracts.

If the Celtics added Hayward they would still want to keep Crowder. Crowder is on a GREAT contract. If they did land Hayward then trading Jaylen Brown for a defensive big would be their best move. There is absolutely no reason for Boston to trade Crowder unless they are getting back a player they think would put them over the top and LeBron isn't getting traded. If OKC goes into a rebuild I think sending them Russ and Adams as a package for all their assets could be interesting. Brooklyn 1st this year and next, Jaylen Brown, 2019 Memphis 1st and 2019 LAC first. It would be a huge package from Boston, but they would still have all of their own picks from 2018 and beyond and they would have IT to trade to a team that could overlook him being the worst defender in the NBA.

Knicks will have cap room, but with Noah eating up a huge chunk I don't see them trading for another center unless the team is willing to eat Noah. They would be a good team to trade with if OKC was going to rebuild. Take back Noah to get their 1st round picks this year and their 2019 first.

Another up and down game for him.

I really like Noel. He missed some shots late in the game but he has a nice jumper. He's very athletic. I was really hoping we could have pursued either him or Nurkic at the deadline.
