Trade Ideas, AKA Please God Bring Us Shooters

The answer is no.

I’m more interested in Jrue.

I’m more interested in Jrue.

I will forgive Presti for all his previous terrible trade deadlines signings (Corey Brewer, Caron Butler etc..) if he can get Jrue Holiday.

We will end up signing a terrible big that won't play though

[ThunderBolt]

I don’t think we ever stood a chance against the warriors but now that cousins is playing well it reinforces that if there is a win-now move to be made at the expense of sustainability, it needs to happen.

What would y'all say is the percentage chance OKC actually makes a move? The more I look around at "realistic targets" the more I'm apprehensive to trade anything for them. The Grizz have been better without Jamychal Green. Patterson looks like his shot is coming back and is an intelligent vet despite his limitations. Ferguson looks incredible and worthy of some playoff experience. We don't have the pick(s) to make a big splashy move for another star without gutting our core dudes. It's not a secret that our tax bill is enormous so hard to see a buyout candidate worth his price tag. I'm kinda thinking they just stay pat with their crew.

We should target Mirotic. What kind of package could make this work?

I think the same (we probably will add a bad wing or center).

Hope I'm wrong though (even if we are clearly not bringing a star caliber player)

Prince and Mirotic are the only two realistic targets I think would move the needle at all. Ferguson coming on strong has shifted what we should be looking for IMO. Patterson is as good as most of the stretch 4s being thrown about, but Mirotic (if cheap enough) would be a decent upgrade.

Adam's, Grant and Diallo for Ad and Solomon Hill.

Sure but I don’t think it’s likely.

[SecondTake]

Simple trade. We might win 30 straight.

Simple trade. We might win 30 straight.

I assume that NOP is adding at least one unprotected first.

I assume that NOP is adding at least one u protected first.

At least.

At least.

It's hilarious you guys think this deal would get done with anything less than 3 NOP FRPs.

I hope NOP will be smart enough to see that Schroeder is the prototype of the perfect modern NBA point guard ( still young and on a good contract)

[Dadouv47]

Seriously speaking, I wonder if Presti even bothered NOLA asking about AD.

I hope he will ask about Mirotic or jrue though

Wait, I feel like I'm misunderstanding this?

Let’s say Boogie came back and sucked or reinjured himself. Is the current okc roster capable of beating the Cousinless warriors roster in a playoff series? I think most would say no. Our starters are really good but our bench sucks. In the aforementioned scenario if we bolstered the bench significantly at the trade deadline it could at least make things interesting.

Now that cousins has come back and the warriors are even better. So at this point where do we stand? Does the front office believe that the current roster is close enough to championship caliber that this years Corey Brewer will be enough or will they be willing to make a major trade if it’s available even if it potentially hurts us down the road?

Call me a pessimistic but I thought the opposite.

Before boogie came back I was like ''maybe we can make an huge trade to compete with the warriors if boogie isn't play well''

Now I'm ''Why bother trading assets now that we know it's impossible to beat Gs with an healthy Cousins?''

Well I think you start with AD, figure out what they like then move down the roster. I think Mirotic is more attainable but finding the salaries that match will be hard. In a deal for Jrue the Pel's would have to take on Schroder. Then you can add guys like Abrines and Patterson to make the salaries a closer match. Remember that for every $1 million the Thunder take on they have to pay $4.5 million in Lux Tax. I am also interested in Randle if the Thunder move on from Patterson.

Holiday is making over $100 million over the next 4 seasons. While Schroder is making $45 million over 3 years.
