I've posted this before, I really think Cleveland needs to consider working with us on a trade involving Love and Howard. Mozgov and Love aren't a good fit for one another when matched up against GSW. Something like: Howard, Ariza and Thornton for Love, Mozgov and Thornton Cleveland's crunch-time lineup would be: Irving Shumpert Ariza Lebron Dwight
The more I see Dwight playing well and Harden being aloof on and off the court, the more I see who the true leader on this team is.. Harden, Jones, Dekker for Eric Gordon, Ryan Anderson, and 2016 first round pick.
You want to pair Harden with The Brow? In our own division? French Quarter + Harden notwithstanding, are you totally nuts?
I doubt it. I'm not saying it will happen, but Harden would net you no less than a Jimmy Butler or (trading headache for headache) DeMarcus Cousins (or that level of player). But if you want to shake James Harden out of his Kardashian Adidas Titty Bar Hennessey Hey-Already-Made-it-to-the-WCF stupor, just pair him with Anthony Davis. That's some hell naw. In any case, we're probably stuck with his attitude until the Olympics pimp-slaps him awake.
harden trade will not happen unless one and a half season later than now he asks for a trade and our team has been sucking.
If we are the exact same next year as we are right now, I'd hope Morey would consider trading Harden..
In leu of including multiple 1st round would DMo be enough to entice Denver to move Gallo (obviously, others would be included to match salaries)
That is the worst Harden proposal I have ever seen. Two expiring contracts on injury prone dudes and a middle of the pack 1st? All while creating a top 4 team in the west in your own division? Sorry but that's awful. Here is my realistic plan to fix this mess. Trade One: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=h5bu8we Trade Two http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=hrezr4a Thomas/ Bev Harden / Thornton Ariza / Dekker Crowder/Morris / Harrell Dwight/ Capella We could also package a few young guys for a solid backup wing 3p shooter type or a bigger stronger backup Center.
How is trade one realistic? You're asking them to give away their two best players for absolutely nothing. Thomas is averaging 22/6, Crowder is putting up 14/5 with great defense.
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2608897-identifying-the-ideal-trade-target-for-each-nba-team Jarryd Bayless to the Rox Jerryd Bayless would be the perfect fit, given his proclivity for dropping in shots in spot-up situations. Per NBA.com's SportVU databases, the Milwaukee Buck has scored 1.5 points per possession in those scenarios during the 2015-16 campaign, leaving him in the 99.4 percentile. Cameron Payne (1.67) and J.J. Redick (1.86) are the only qualified players above him, while Lawson (0.9) sits all the way down in the 42.4 percentile. Houston needs more than a spark; it needs a player who actually meshes well with everyone else and helps build chemistry during a season that's starting to take a turn for the better—but only barely. KJ to Thunder K.J. McDaniels should be a feasible solution. Not only does his minor role for the Houston Rockets indicate that he could be had on the cheap, but his previous stint with the Philadelphia 76ers made it quite clear he could serve as an energetic impact defender. Though McDaniels can't shoot, that's not an issue for a Thunder team already loaded with scoring options. He can focus entirely on preventing points. Ty to Knicks If Lawson doesn't work out, the Knicks can write the trade off as a misadventure while immediately cutting ties with him this offseason. But just imagine if he becomes the dynamic offensive commodity he was in the Mile High City. Having that extra playmaker could pay large dividends for New York. Plus, we already know he has a bit preexisting chemistry with Carmelo Anthony, since the two once played on the same team before the latter was traded to the Knicks.
T Jones to the Raptors That's where Terrence Jones comes in, even if he's struggled to remain consistent with the Houston Rockets. He did knock down 35.1 percent of his three-point looks in limited action during the 2014-15 campaign, and he sits at 34.3 percent this year. But in short spurts, the lefty has shown he can be significantly deadlier from beyond the arc. He's also a capable interior defender. NBA.com's SportVU data may show that he's letting opponents knock down 53.3 percent of their looks at the rim this season, but that number was down at 46.3 percent in 2014-15. Jones is a risky acquisition, but the Raptors shouldn't hesitate to take a gamble on such a diversely talented 24-year-old who likely won't demand a particularly large return.
Bayless for a second around 40 no problem. Hes been shooting very very well this year but i want him to gtfo so he doesnt steal any shots from the youngsters. Now that kidd has gone mia is the opportunity to get rid of this bff.
Sorry for the consecutive post but cant edit. No he wont be enough as the enticing value. Denver has two very promising younger bigs. More promising than dmo. Jokic and nurkic and a sf is so hard to find that he has more value than a pf particularly one that needs to get paid.
Absolutely....there is no team that can pry galo from denver except maybe boston....the person we should be targeting is ryan anderson and after that an athletic defensive 2/3, with some shooting ability....brewer, jones, ty, and maybe ariza (if the right deal comes along) should be on the block and ready to be dealt....we need a change quick
I'd trade Haren for Tomball's finest right now, straight-up. Problem is, da Bulls would never do it. We'd improve immediately, on both ends of the court: better D, fewer TOs, no lack of a go-to guy, with better team chemistry (eg, the ball in Lawson's hands). The Bulls could hope they're getting the better player, because they'd hope they could coach Haren into playing D. LOL, and good luck with that. Who knows, maybe the change would do everyone some good.
Nicolas Batum. Don't get me wrong, I know he's expiring and might not bear us any love for drafting him and flipping him. And I'm not saying we have the horses to make such a trade. But 15.6 points, 5.5 assists, 6 rebounds from the wing? So, target? Yes. Get? Uuuuummmmmmmmm.........maybe not so much.
