re: The Official Trade Proposal Thread

My unrealistic 4 team trade:

Cavs:

CJ
Isaac
Dyson
Picks

Hawks:

BI
Picks

Magic:

Garland

Pels:

Trae
Allen

There is a ZERO percent chance we trade Herb Jones and we would be the dumbest franchise in the league trading a young 1st team all defense player on a sweetheart team deal. Herb is as safe as Zion to this team.

No because we lose too much scoring and depth…

We can make that deal without including CJ by including picks.

If we are moving CJ it would be in a separate deal, where we can bring back more help.

If you trade for Trae, CJ may be your only hope to hold Trae and Zion accountable for their bullshite. If not, that shite could go south quickly

I just find it hard to believe Paul George would give up LA to go live in Philly. I just believe this is posturing by PG to get a better deal with LA.

The question would be what sort of deal would we be willing to take from Philly, or what players could we get in the deal by adding other teams? Would something like this work and be approved by everyone?

Philly: Ingram

Hawks: Nance, #16, #21

Pels: Murray, Capella, Reed, 26,29,31 1sts from Philly, a couple 2nds from Hawks

Capella would give a starting level center with a big enough salary that we could flip for a better fit, and adding those picks gives us i think 8 trade able future 1sts

Pretty close imo, although you have to do something with CJ if you acquire Trae.

I don’t see Capella as having any value whatsoever, he’s in the deal because we agree to take him back when Atlanta takes Nance, as Capella’s 22 million salary number allows us to go after bigger fish than Nance at 12 million, otherwise we keep Nance and only send one pick with one future protected pick for Murray. Okongwu has way more value than Capella, and I would agree that Atlanta would not trade Murray and Okongwu for the deal I listed.

You make CJ your 6th man

I understand the concerns here but I don't think its the end of the world. If you can make a trade to acquire Trae + Allen then you have to keep CJ for now.

At that point you then take CJ + Hawk + Dyson (if on team) + picks for the next step.

But CJ and Trae don't have to play every minute together and they can easily still be + overall if their offense power > defensive woes. At that point its really about coaching and scheming.

We need a defensive center regardless and you'd have complimentary players in Jose/ Herb/ Dyson.

As long as Trey and Zion continue improving on defense I think we would be in pretty good shape. Not best case scenario but I really don't think it would end up being an overall -

Trae/CJ/Jose Herb/Hawk Trey/Dyson Zion/Naji/EJ FA/FA/Karlo

This scenario one of Hawk, Dyson, Jose move to reserve roles with Naji, EJ, and Karlo. You have to play your backup big significant minutes unless your thinking Zion, Naji or TM3 will be able to handle post minutes.
