Trae Young was 43% from the field, and a bigger defensive liability than anything we have on our current roster. You just can’t win with that. Not anything of substance.
Trae Young took Huerter/Capela/Bogdanovic/Hunter/Collins/Reddish to a Conference Finals.

Not even saying he's the guy I want us to target, but you are going to have a hard time arguing that the ATL core I just listed is better than the Pels cored he'd be added to.

How do we get Trae AND Mobley?

Easy, I laid out a mock trade the other day that gives Atlanta the opportunity to open a max slot a year from now

Cleveland: BI, Cam Johnson, all the Brooklyn picks
Brooklyn: Mitchell(gets to NY where he wants to be), Nance
Atlanta: Simmons, all the Pels picks
Pels: Trae, Mobley

So basically BI and Nance out with 6 1sts, Trae and Mobley in

Cleveland gets BI for Mobley straight up without having to take Simmons
Cam Johnson and all Brooklyn picks for Mitchell

Atlanta gets a flyer on Simmons and 6 1st rounders for Trae while opening a max contract slot the following season

We would have to send out way more to get both of those guys.

We'd def have to have CJ going out I would think, at least 1 young guy, and what? 3-5 picks?

I feel like you've missed a change in Trae's game this season.

Trae's usage this season - 30.5

Zion's usage this season - 29.7

From hogging the ball. How does that mesh with Zion?
If you don't think or realize how many easy looks Zion would get from Trae passes, then you're either just not aware of Trae's offensive game or not even trying to have a rational discussion.

Trae failed with Murray being the real point guard who would compensate defensively. We don't have anything like a Murray to pair with Trae.

We have a MUCH better core than the team Trae dragged to the conference finals too, so...

It’s definitely not ideal, but I believe they have 3 trade able 1sts

Knicks are reportedly not going to pursue Mitchell since they have Brunson, and not many teams will give up anything for Mitchell knowing he won’t stay after next season, so a young Cam Johnson to take Mobley’s spot at the 4 and BI along with the couple picks and not having to take back Simmons is not a bad deal for them.

ETA: Actually I was wrong, Brooklyn has 6 trade able 1sts

They can trade two in 27, a 28, two in 29 and a 30

Man, you're going way out of your way to not even try to have a good debate here.

Do better.

Zion
Center



Again, either you're knowledge is severely lacking or you need to do better. Which one is it? You KNOW it has to be one, figure that shite out before posting.

SFP was being intentionally obtuse there, he was doing his SFP thing.

The next comment was going to be that Trae isn't a PG and that Dejounte was the PG, so Trae would be taking the place of Herb in the starting lineup, so who are you starting him next to?

That sounds like a very small issue. You can add Nance and they can add a small piece back. You can add a couple of end of bench guys like Liddell to get where you need to and the receiving team can keep or waive them. $5mil I imagine would not hold up a deal.

Yeah, just the Trae/Zion P&R’s that Trae loves to spam against opponents alone would be a HUGE cheat code and exactly what we’ve been begging for.

No doubt

He had to create a scenario in his head where CJ and Jose would play shooting guard, and not Herb, the guy who has played shooting guard for us for 3 seasons, and allowing us to finally get the other guy, Trey, that we've been trying to get in the starting lineup for 2 seasons.

He had to pretend ALL of that didn't exist to make his Trae/Jose or Trae/CJ failed point.

It was just awful work by him.

Probably, but that would be just another dumb argument

I don't like Trae at all.

However, I like Ingram even less...

I think Mikal Bridges is also attainable now straight up too. He had a down year in Brooklyn and I don’t mind having another 3&D player. However it is Brooklyn and they overrate their players.

This, would never happen.
CJ is not going to come of the bench.
and if you're going to relegate him to that, you might as well just let Hawkins take his place. If CJ isn't in the closing 5, then what's he on this team for making $30M+?

You’re not getting a bonafide superstar player for BI. It’s gonna be some high level all star capable players with red flags like Trae or KAT. I’d take a chance with either. I’d be okay with trading BI for Mobley but then you lose offensive creation and need to replace that elsewhere.


Feels risky to trade a player who creates his own offense for a guy who can’t. Especially when you don’t have many guys on the team who can create for themselves.

Not trying to be combative but just curious your thought is that Clev would be okay with waiting 3 years on a trade return?
