The Crewz Memorial "Insider Info" 2k17 Trade Simulator Thread: Official

saved for round 3

reke for henson& bucks 2017 first top 3 protected or rudygobert& Jazz 2017 2nd rounder
both address our issues at center with younger guys on deals and would hopefully be able to give us some picks to try and get some affordable young talent..
or
Jrue/ajinca for vucevic/augustin- breaks up some issues in front court for magic and pens get two guys on deals.. augustin would allow us to move either frazier or galloway in other deals.

either re up and sign tyreke or trade for another SF/ center.. ill trade
tyreke and ask for plumlee and evan turner.
would probably have to trade away moore/ hill to cover salary though. lots of ways to do this..

Rudy gay tore his achilles last nite

They would move Holiday if they could "win the press conference" is what I was told. Apparently, they are so scared of AD's reaction and like the 2000 people who really care about the Pelicans (is it even that high?) - that they only would move him if they could sell it to those people

Which is beyond short sighted and stupid, but what else is new?!!?

It seems like Milwaukee isn't interested in letting Monroe go anymore, unless it makes them better, where as last year and the beginning of this year, they just wanted him gone. Can't see them letting Brogdon go either. If someone can be had from them, it's Snell and Plumlee, and while I wouldn't mind Plumlee, I really would rather get rid of all our centers, bring DMo back and draft one. Quit spending money on them.

The team we need to make a trade with is either Chicago, to get a pick, or Denver, to get whatever of Gallinari/Nurkic/Chandler/Faried somehow.

i'd still do a Jrue for Rondo if we get a first.

Denver is just begging for offers for anyone.
To be quite honest, I don't really want Nurkic. I'd rather Faried if we are getting a big man from them. I think Faried would be a better 5 to play with AD than Nurkic.
Would they give us Gallinari/Faried for Reke/Hill/Ajinca and our first? I don't know, and I don't know if i'd do it either b/c Gallinari has a player option for next year. I'll do it though since this is fantasy, and assume Gallinari doesn't opt out.

Cut Asik in the offseason and resign Jrue to $16M/yr

Jrue/Frazier
Buddy/Moore/Galloway
Gallinari/DC
Faried/Diallo
AD/Jones
2 2nd round draft picks.

Everyone stays relatively healthy, we go 49-33 and get the 5 seed and beat the 4 seeded Rockets in 6 games, then lose to Warriors in 6.

I can't see anyway they could do a win the press conference trade with holiday since he is on the last year of his contract.

Tyreke is playing well enough that if you didn't get a PG back you could probably say "Tyreke is our PG and look at this other great thing we got."

Probably the best single trade rumor we've heard regarding Holiday was getting offered Zach Lavine last year. Holiday + Moore for Rubio + Lavine gives the Pels good value for Holiday, it gives Thibs veteran 2 way players, and unlike Rubio, Holiday can play with Dunn.

Minnesota does take on some risk if Holiday doesn't resign, but most players wouldn't walk away from and up and coming team that gives you max money. And since Minny already has its #1 and #2 players in place, maxing out Holiday doesn't create many future team building issues.

Minnesota's previous regime wanted Holiday. A new regime came in and they also drafted Dunn. The desire is not as strong right now. Last year, yep, they could have got Lavine.

The only trade to pursue is for McCollum IMO. Makes sense for everyone, as I outlined in my piece today. It's time to stop pussyfooting around with these half decent, but majorly flawed guards and go get a transcendent talent and see what a guy like that can do with AD

so trade the player they traded the 2013 pick for that they could have just drafted McCollum with...player fit aside they are not winning that press conference especially is another pick goes with him (which would make 3 1sts used to acquire CJ)

What's the basis of the McCollum talk? Link?

McCollum is one of the few players I'd give up our first round pick for. Dude would light the fricking scoreboard on fire for us. If it's remotely possible, go get him.
