Clint Capela/Gordon for Butler/Simmons/Bolden (this works in the trade machine) Then, politely ask Aminu and Green to split the MLE or whatever exception we have.
Just curious, does this satisfy your offseason desires for length? Simmons/Nene/Bolden Tucker/J. Green/Manimal Butler/Aminu/House Harden/G Green CP3/Rivers I would hope for another true big like DeAndre Jordan.
http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=yxkgdmdl CP/Winslow/Ntilikina Harden /Bogdanovich Richardson/ Winslow/Bogdanovich PJ/J Green/Clark DJ/Olynyk Fair trade for all sides. Give Miami a 1st and 2nd if needed. Second to the Knicks. Miami couldn’t even make the playoffs with that roster. They want to shed salary. Why not? There are a few cheap options at center this year if no DJ. Give Green the full MLE. CP isn’t going anywhere.
Rockets get: Kyle Kuzma *Rockets clear $46.5 mil in cap space* Lakers get: Chris Paul Bradley Beal PJ Tucker Gary Clark Wizards get: Lakers 1st round pick (#4 overall) Lonzo Ball Brandon Ingram Starters Harden 6'5" 29 yrs old 36.1 ppg, 6.6 rpg, 7.5 apg Jimmy Butler (free agency) 6'8", 29 yrs old 18.7 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 4 apg Kyle Kuzma 6'9", 23 yrs old 18.7 ppg, 5.5 rpg Nikola Mirotic (free agency) 6'10", 28 yrs old 15.2 ppg, 7.4 rpg Clint Capela 6'10", 25 yrs old 16.6 ppg, 12.7 rpg Bench Gordon 16.2 ppg Rivers (MLE) Def. Specialist/right corner 3 (40.6%) Hartenstein 46% from 3 in GLeague playoffs GLeague finals MVP House (re-sign) Left corner 3 (47.8%) Above the break 3 (43.6%) G. Green (vet minimum again) Left corner 3 (44.3%) We got playmakers. We got shooters. We got defenders. We got depth. We got length and rebounding. Even if we decide to go small by taking Capela out for Gordon/Rivers, we still have 3 guys in at 6'8"-6'10" that can switch. (Butler, Kuzma, Mirotic).
LA IN: CP3 and AD NOP IN: Ball, Ingram, Capela and LA’s pick PHI IN: Gordon, Nene (R) and HOU 2020 FRP HOU IN: Butler and Kuzma After the trade HOU would have to look to sign some one like DJ for vet min and hope to resign Rivers for MLE. They would resign Shumpert with bird rights. Maybe Faried for vet min. Hope Hartenstein keeps developing. But, immediately following the trade and before the signings, I think the Rockets would have almost enough to offer Kawhi the max. Even if they can’t get Kawhi, they would have a good chunk of change to try to sign someone major. Harden/Rivers Butler/Shumpert Kawhi/PJ Kuzma DJ/Faried/Hartenstein Championship.
Twin towers, move Embiid to the 4, extra rebounding, depth at center with an injury prone Embiid, extra length that's mobile and can guard smaller players. Just to name a few. He could also be traded. Or Embiid could be traded for a pile of assets? I feel like there are reasons there that we see.
You are probably right. I wonder what Capela’s true market is. Giles has dealt with severe injuries and only played about 14 minutes per game. If Clint can’t net you a guy like Giles, then improving the team may be harder than I anticipated.
Giles has much more offensive upside, not as good defensively. Giles not yet 100% either. Kings have been patient with him because they believe they got themselves a steal.
Dont know if this works financially for next season, so i dont know if these moves could happen BUT: HOU in: Bradley Beal HOU out: Clint, 2 1st Rounders And HOU out: CP3 and Gordon HOU in: Myles Turner and Bogdonovich I like the look of it, and i feel it works for Indy and the Wizards.. just unsure if swapping out CP3, Clint and Gordon for Beal, Turner and Bojan really moves the needle for us :/
Inspired by a bleacher report random trade idea brought up by Y2J2 in the trade Capela thread. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2838727-1-trade-to-help-get-nbas-best-superstars-over-the-top If Atlanta were to offer up the 10th pick to Minnesota for Capela and swing Covington and Prince here that would be a very nice deal considering that we keep our first round picks. I don’t know who the projected 10 pick is this year, but if Clint has more value then why not? I know we need wings but we still need one or 2 stretch bigs who can rebound as well. What if we took that idea a step further and went all in? http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y5m4fxfc K Love is high risk high reward but he is still one of the best stretch 4’s in the league. His health scares me but he may be a risk worth taking. He still rebounds at an elite level. Clarkson is a nice combo guard at 6’5 with above average defense. He would provide instant offense as our third guard. I’d even throw in a first for this type of potential line up: CP/Clarkson Harden/Clarkson Covington/Prince Love/J Green(MLE) *DJ/Holmes or who ever Green at the 5 would be ridiculous. Harden would have a ton of room to work. No current “all stars” added to the roster but much better over talent and depth. * Substitute DJ with any feasible big.
