Let’s go all in and pay the tax! In this hypothetical trade Tillman receives a government bailout and MDA coaches the 76ers next season. Rockets in: Horford and Aaron Gordon 76ers in: PJ and EG Magic in: House, Rivers (S&T @ 9m), McLemore (S&T @ 9m) and Rockets FRP WB Harden RoCo/Nwaba Gordon/Green Horford/Bruno Morey will need to find a cheap vet PG who can game manage. Maybe Teague would take the TP MLE or someone else on vet min. The Rockets would have 0 assets after this trade and would be well over the tax but I think you do it for that starting 5. While AG, RoCo and Horford aren’t knock down 3pt shooters, they are consistent enough to keep the defense honest and spread the floor. The defense and rebounding would be much better with this starting 5 as well.
Three-way blockbuster if the decision is made to move Beal and Embiid. We get involved as a facilitator. We do it to get younger and move EG’s deal for actual value. Houston trades: EG/Tucker/House Houston gets: Richardson/Bryant/Scott/Wagner Philly trades: Embiid/Richardson/Scott Philly gets: Beal/Tucker/House Washington trades: Beal/Bryant/Wagner Washington gets: Embiid/EG
ORL needs more 3ball shooting. If they do not want EGo/House for AG then expand to 3 team trade and send EGo/House (plus FRP?) to IND with Pacers sending Oladipo to Magic. Aaron Gordon to Rockets.
What are Rockets going to do with THREE 7footers? Why would Magic trade their only All Star PLUS all their centers for Eric Gordon pupu platter? Would trade one of those centers for Oubre if I'm Morey. Cannot see Rockets gutting their team and coming out of the trade with even worse 3P shooting. If Rockets giving up ALL their assets (Westbrook, EGo, House, McLemore, picks) then I hope they come out of this trade with Aaron Gordon, Kelly Oubre and Mo Bamba instead of Vucevic, Turner, Rubio and Bamba. Harden Oubre/Nwaba RoCo/PJ AG/Green Bamba/Baynes (MLE) Above roster is better than: Harden Rubio RoCo/Nwaba PJ Vuc/Turner/Bamba
Tell your friend that Detroit still covets Russ Westbrook. https://pistonpowered.com/2020/09/22/detroit-pistons-westbrook-trade/ So same deal but with Pistons instead of Suns. ORL: Oladipo IND: EGordon, House, Pistons FRP DET: Westbrook, McLemore, Rockets SRP HOU: AGordon, Kennard, CWood (SnT) MLE: Aron Baynes Rockets: Harden Kennard/Nwaba RoCo/PJ AG Wood/Baynes Vet min signings to back up 4/5: Jeff Green, Bruno Caboclo Additional vet min signing options: Langston Galloway, Tyler Johnson, Josh Jackson, Dragan Bender, Justin Anderson Detroit gets Russ-Griffin combo they covet (both 3rd team All NBA) and become instant playoff contenders. Magic adds another All Star to pair with their only All Star in Vucevic while improving spacing, 3ball shooting plus clearing up logjam at 4/5. Option to NOT re-sign Fournier. Pacers get more spacing, defense and 3ball shooting (EGo, House) plus FRP for a disgruntled albeit talented player.
Denver is gonna wanna keep all their guys after this run but it's going to be hard to squeeze them all in and stay under the luxury tax. They have to sign new deals for Plumlee, Craig, Milsap and Grant. If even one shakes loose I'd take any of them in a heartbeat
House for Mo Wagner? Washington probably doesnt need Wagner and Bryant at Center, and they do need a SF who can offer some defense
I love it. Add Shake Milton. Send them House. Russ/Shake (6-5, 7 foot wingspan) Harden/ Ben Josh Richardson / Nwaba Robert Covington / Mike Scott PJ Tucker / Bruno We would probably need one more addition to get rebounds like @steddinotayto says get Baynes. I'd move PJ to the bench in that scenario and use the small ball strategy as a change of pace late in the first quarter.
Is LAC crazy enough to trade Paul George for Westbrook? Talking myself into them yearning for playmaking and “leadership”. Harden/Rivers Gordon George/House Covington Tucker/Green Yeah, they’d never do that.
I posted this elsewhere but I fixed the Rockets https://tradenba.com/trades/oQTIKkcbs I think this is the most realistic trade if MDA is really hired and they need to shuffle the decks. Rockets become Russ Harden / Ben Thybulle / Nwaba RoCo Horford Lots of work to do with pick ups, but the core is set. 76ers become Simmons Gordon Richardson / House Harris/PJ Embiid That's a much better balanced team.
Dear Random Trade posters: When making your hypothetical lineup, PLEASE be aware that James Harden is the starting PG, and has been for quite a few years now. That is all.
We got D’Antoni’s “Swiss Army Knife” Eric Gordon. Plays Point Guard, Shooting Guard, Small Forward......and in a pinch Power Forward / Center. Come get him Mike D. Then use Embiid or Tobias Harris to get CP3 from the Thunder
