With Orlando trading for Ibaka and signing Bismack Biyombo to a huge deal, seems like Vucevic could be on the trade blocks.

I think pairing him with AD could be a nightmare for opponents and makes the Pels so versatile at every position now to the point where we could be a Top 3 seed in the Western Conference.

Would yall be willing to trade Reke/Asik and a 1st for him?

Thoughts?

Yes I would do that trade. Downvote for you because this has been talked about all afternoon and starting a new thread beats the dead horse.

Orlando would laugh their asses off. Get real.

And NO, we would absolutely not be a top 3 seed.

Not a big fan, he is on a good deal though.

I would love it, but Orlando will absolutely get a better offer than that.

I'm not totally tuned into what Orlando is currently doing, but I don't see their motivation for getting rid of Vucevic, especially for what we have to offer.

He's a double/double big man that is on a decent deal in the current market. Ibaka is a PF, and Biyombo will likely continue his role of a 3rd big man.

I would love to some how center a deal around Tyreke for NV, but I can't see any way Orlando would even consider it.

This is the shite everyone was saying when we traded for Asik, GTFO.

They have said Biyombo is gonna start. They are paying him $18 mil per, so it makes sense. Ibaka still has a year left.

Vucevic making $12 mil for the next three years is a team friendly deal given his production. They are in no hurry to give him away, im sure. And he will still probably log close to 30 mpg for them. When Ibaka goes, they can work in both Vucevic and Biyombo together.

Bottom line, he's an asset. Asik and Evans arent. Why would they they throw either of those shite heads on a young, promising team?

Might only take Reke and a 1st to get him. Probably wouldn't trade for Asik in trade. If they plan to unload Vucevic, a 1st and an expiring one year rental to see if Reke fits in future plans is not a bad trade. Throw in 2018 2nd round pick and I think they consider it.

Or what about a trade involving Aaron Gordon? Could be the athletic, defensive minded backup PF we need and could probably finish games with AD. They gotta figure out what to do with Gordon as well.

In no way shape or form would they want Asik to be in that deal. He would play 10 minutes a game while making 10 mill a year.
