Minnesota/Phoenix/New Orleans

To Minnesota/ Derrick Favors (exp) + Brandon Ingram + Tyler Johnson (exp) + 2 1st round picks from New Orleans + 1st round pick Phoenix
* This only if Towns wants out if they struggle. They do get rid of Wiggins too in the process

Teague/Culver/Ingram/Covington/Favors
Johnson/Okogie/Bates/Wallace/Layman/Dieng/Bell/Vonleh

To Phoenix/ Karl Towns + Trevon Graham + Shabbaz Napier
* Towns & Booker i think would want to play together

Rubio/Booker/Oubre/Saric/Towns
Napier/Okobo/Graham/Carter/Jerome/Bridges/Johnson/Baynes

To New Orleans/ DeAndre Ayton + Andrew Wiggins
* take Wiggins but also acquire a center of the future with Zion

Holiday/Reddick/Wiggins/Zion/Ayton
Ball/Hart/Walker/Jackson/Williams/Moore/Hayes/Melli/Okafor

16 Jul 2019 14:16:45
Those 2 firsts from New Orleans are Laker first rounders?

17 Jul 2019 19:23:08
Phoenix is better off with ayton and johnsons expiring contract. Towns is better, but ayton is way cheaper, which will allow phoenix to make more moves next season to add another possible star.

To keep the CAP lower for Houston and make a Iggy trade happen when Grizzlies ask for a 1st!

Houston want to win NOW! They get two centers that both may have 15m left in the tank per night and have Faried. Iggy may be a missing piece. Memphis get another first for the rebuild. Mavs get a real center and defense in the middle and the wing - voila.

Memphis:
- Lee
- 1st via Mavs

Dallas:
- Capela
- Shumpert (S&T 2y 15m)

Houston:
- Iggy
- Howard
- Noah (sign via 3m exception)

16 Jul 2019 14:20:00
Houston can't trust Howard's health. Better to keep Capella.

16 Jul 2019 14:22:04
Appreciate all the likes!

Best trade ever! : )

16 Jul 2019 07:09:39
DET/BOS/MIN

DET get Hayward & MEM 1st from BOS

Pg Rose
Sg Kennard
Sf Hayward
Pf Griffin
Ce Maker

BOS get Towns

Pg Walker
Sg Smart
Sf Brown
Pf Kanter
Ce Towns

MIN get Drummond, Tatum & 1st round pick BOS

Pg Teague
Sg Wiggins
Sf Covington
Pf Tatum
Ce Drummond

16 Jul 2019 13:07:53
Switch Brown for Tatum and Boston might bite on that. But Towns isn't going anywhere until he starts acting up.

16 Jul 2019 03:43:01
Miami/Cleveland/Detroit

To Miami/ Kevin Love
* they add a star player to pair with Butler
* If they can swing a deal that could give them a point guard (Paul?, others) the better. as of now they could let Winslow do it

Winslow/Herro/Butler/Love/Adebayo
Waiters/Jones/Johnson/Okpala/Leonard

To Cleveland/ Reggie Jackson (exp)- can waive him too + Kelly Olynyk + 1st round pick from Detroit & Miami
* get basically 2 picks for Love

Sexton/Garland/Osman/Nance/Thompson
Delly/Knight/Clarkson/Porter/Windler/Zizic/Henson/Olynyk

To Detroit/ Goran Dragic
* get point guard upgrade who could also slide to sg for D Rose

Dragic/Kennard/Brown/Griffin/Drummond
Rose/Frazier/Galloway/Thomas/Mykahiliuk/Snell/Deoumboya/Maker

16 Jul 2019 08:27:23
Kevin love hasn't been a star in over 3 years.

16 Jul 2019 09:10:50
Kinda feel like Miami would be better off with just Dragic for Jackson + First rounder.

16 Jul 2019 15:24:04
Love was an all star two of the last 3 years. Say what you will about his health, but when he’s played, he’s been an all star.

17 Jul 2019 20:09:54
Jackson is better, younger, and healthier than Dragic.

16 Jul 2019 03:21:15
WAS/OKC

WAS get Chris Paul & Steven Adams
- feels like they don't want to rebuild and want to compete. These 2 will help them do that for a while

Pg Paul/Thomas
Sg Beal/Smith/Bonga
Sf Miles/Dekker/Jones
Pf Hachimura/Bertans
Ce Adams/Bryant/Wagner


OKC get John Wall, Ian Mahinmi (exp), Troy Brown, 2 1st round picks & 2 2nd round picks maybe add 2 pick swaps or 1 more 1st in the future
- Wall's contract is horrendous but if they are to take additional future assets, it will be a go and it will be a bonus if Wall comes back even 70-80% of himself

16 Jul 2019 00:02:54
TOR-SAS-BOS

BOS gets Ibaka

SAS gets N. Powell and 2nd rd pick via TOR 20

TOR gets Hayward


Kemba/ Smart
Brown/ Langford
Tatum/ Crawford
Ibaka/ Theis
Kanter/ Williams



Lowry/ FVF
OG/ Marco B
Hayward/ McCaw
Siakam/
Gasol/.

16 Jul 2019 01:22:22
You’re not getting off Hayward for free until he proves he can still play.

16 Jul 2019 03:34:20
No from Toronto. They lose cap flexibility next offseason and a solid young player for a bad contract.

The truth is, if Hayward had any value, the C’s would not be trying to deal him. His relationship with Brad would be enough to be in the lineup and off the trade market.

16 Jul 2019 04:11:26
Spurs are $14 mil over the salary cap with no trade exceptions, so how are they taking on Powell's $10 mil salary?

Try Dallas, I think they might be the only team with that much cap space + trade exception to take on Powell's $10 Mil salary.

16 Jul 2019 05:22:27
Boston fan? That's really bad for Toronto.

16 Jul 2019 10:07:16
Rkenne, he played the entire season, how many games did Love play?
If you say that they can't get anything for Hayward untill he proves he can play. I'd say the aame is true for Love and the Cavs.

Triangle-doh. what makes you think the Celtics are trying to trade Hayward? The people here are the ones that are trying to trade him, and idon't think that Ainge is one of the people on this site.

16 Jul 2019 12:58:44
Joe, but once Love came back, he was averaging 18 and 11 on 59 percent ts while only paying 25 minutes a game. He can still play when he’s healthy. Hayward was bad last year and was at his worse in the playoffs.

16 Jul 2019 17:16:28
Fredman i have included Marco Bel in as well, cap space works for all teams.

15 Jul 2019 23:26:43
Magic - Beal and Miles

Wizards - Fournier Fultz Isaac and Bamba (pick if needed)

Augustin/MCW
Beal/Ross/Frazier
Aminu/Miles/Iwundu
Gordon/FA/Okeke
Vucevic/Birch

Fultz/Thomas/Smith/Wall
Fournier/Brown
Hachimura/Johnson
Isaac/Bertans/Wagner
Bamba/Bryant/Mahinmi

16 Jul 2019 00:28:25
So now the wizards are the magic. Except somehow worse lol.

16 Jul 2019 03:37:54
Idk if Bamba is ready to take Bryant’s place as starting C.

15 Jul 2019 23:26:54
NYK/GS

NYK get Dlo Russell, Glen Robinson, 2nd round pick
- get a star guard who was an all star last year in the east

Pg Russell/Payton
Sg Bullock/Dotson
Sf Barrett/Knox/Robinson
Pf Randle/Gibson/Kornet
Ce Portis/Robinson

GS get Marcus Morris (exp), Wayne Ellington, Dennis Smith jr, Alonzo Trier, DAL 1st round pick & own 1st round pick
- get 2 vets that could help now and 2 young talents they can develop. Basically a haul for now and future

Pg Curry/Smith/Poole
Sg Thompson/Trier/Burks
Sf Morris/Ellington/McKinnie
Pf Green/Paschall/Smailagic
Ce WCS/Looney

16 Jul 2019 00:41:31
Golden state is not intetested in any of that.

16 Jul 2019 01:34:35
Fredman morris fits better than russel and gsw need some picks for bench unit.

16 Jul 2019 02:02:33
I think Knox is starting one way or another, if that means RJ or Bullock on the bench then yeah.

16 Jul 2019 02:46:36
Knicks did not sign him, why trade for him. That is package for allstar not russell.

16 Jul 2019 03:35:38
Not giving up that much for DLo, unless he proves that last year wasn’t a one off.

16 Jul 2019 09:16:36
That "one off" was still way more than any of the Knicks assets hace accomplished. Which is why Russell stays with the Warriors. Try that trade package with OKC for Paul.

15 Jul 2019 22:13:36
Charlotte gets Chris Paul, Gordon Hayward, 2020 Chicago 2nd via okc

Thunder get Nic Batum, Marcus Kidd-Gilchrist

Boston gets Bismack Biyombo, Marvin Williams

Charlotte goes for a high playoff seed in East. Thunder dwindle the contract years. Boston moves on from Hayward, freeing up money for Brown and Tatum.

15 Jul 2019 22:37:06
Do you mean the 8th because even that would be a stretch.

15 Jul 2019 22:59:14
I guess Rozier becomes the highest paid backup PG?

16 Jul 2019 00:32:23
Fredman, dual point guard lineup. Paul at the 1 and Rozier at the 2. They could stagger minutes and share the backcourt.

16 Jul 2019 03:37:06
How about that Marcus Kidd-Gilchrist, hopefully he’s better than his brother Michael.

16 Jul 2019 04:25:15
And who defends against big, strong SGs? The taller one of the two? 6-1 Rozier ain't stopping Derozen type guards. Also, "stagger minutes" translate into "backup".

Also that 2020 draft pick is protected for 31-55. There is no way it is leaving Chicago's possession.

Just not seeing Charlotte taking on the many years of Paul and Heyward when they are just about to be free of Batum, Biyombo, etc. etc. for free.

17 Jul 2019 18:54:16
Derozen is in the west, like everyone else so they won't have to worry about that

15 Jul 2019 21:54:04
OKC MIN

OKC Teague, Dieng
MIN Paul.

16 Jul 2019 00:43:19
Paul on Minny is Jimmy Butler 2.0.

16 Jul 2019 18:56:23
Fredman minny pgs shot 15 a game last season. He could run the offense and still get numbers. Twolves might be best shot at playoffs for him.
