    So are you man. In fact you are among those who's trade ideas I enjoy most. I also enjoy @jch1911 @finsraider @treyk3 @Boston84 @ApacheWarrior @Le$$ @saleem @mike2k132

    And while I dont always agree with everyone, there are extremely knowledgeable and articulate BB fans on CF.

    @Nook @Deuce @heypartner @smoothie @riko @Reeko @DonKnock @Codman @don grahamleone @HP3 @ch44 @topfive @Deckard @Zboy @Roc Paint @Easy @Rocket River @WestendMassive @Houstunna @Rock Block @steddinotayto @durvasa @DatRocketFan @Mathloom @YOLO @jiggyfly @fryjol7 @napalm06 @DreamShook @Aruba77 @BamBam @Will @TimDuncanDonaut @Os Trigonum @Corrosion @rockbox @Haymitch @vlaurelio @Jontro @fckbandwagons @xaos @JayGoogle @xiki @coachbadlee @BigMaloe @Batman Jones @BigShasta @pippendagimp @tycoonchip @HewbieTrippin @hakeem94 @Plowman @J Sizzle @Williamson @mikol13 @ak99999 @dmoneybangbang @snowconeman22 @joshuaao @Hakeemtheking @raining threes @ROXTXIA @Patience

    And of course the actual professionals on CF are beyond excellent.

    @The Cat @Clutch @foggy94 @BimaThug @Another Brother

    And I hate making lists like this because I always end up missing some of the most deserving.

    And tip of the hat to posters like @jopatmac @DaDakota @Carl Herrera and many others who were prolific posters in their heyday.

    Great question!

    We are rebuilding so we need YOUNG talented players to surround our draft picks and even our younger players like Porter, KJ, Mase.

    Defensively adding AG is a no brainer because he is 6'8 and can defend 1-5. And AG is so versatile offensively he will fit in almost any system, but moreso in our 5 Out system.

    AG is same age as Wood and Tate. AG gives Porter another lob threat. AG protects Wood by anchoring our defense. AG improves our woeful rebounding and passing. AG improves our transition game. AG epitomizes what team is built for, defense creating offense.

    And finally, AG is a physical high energy player great work ethic and intangibles that will be critical to building our new culture.

    Can we trade Okc the right to the Milwaukee FRP(unprotected) to give up the swap this year?

    Rumor is Miami is looking to trade for Ariza. If they could land Oladipo and Ariza, that would make for a crazy strong defensive unit.

    I'm not keen on acquiring another injured player.

    Seriously, you calling an ankle sprain some chronic injury?

    Then we should never have traded away Harden.

    There is no player like Harden, every player will get injured in some way during the course of a NBA season.

    they'd be giving up a shot at the 5th pick in the draft. that's worth a lot more than a late first round pick. I don't think there is anything we can offer them to give up the swap rights. I mean short of taking on Horford's salary, if I were the thunder I'd rather roll the dice and hope for the 5th pick to land in my lap.

    tilman doesn't want to take on salary for next year so I don't see how else we can help facilitate a 3 team deal.

    Let's hope that a game like this increases the value of Dipo in a trade so we can get rid of him asap.

    I admit Christian Wood is thin, he has missed multiple games. What's wrong in expressing concern that Aaron Gordon might not be able to play as well as we need him too? I don't know if he has a high ankle sprain or something similar.

    Saw this a couple times on twitter.

    We can offer them our 2023 FRP unprotected OR if we land Herro in an Oladipo/Tucker trade, we can flip Herro to OKC to remove the swap.

    What’s better? 48% chance at a pick outside the top 4 or a guaranteed unprotected pick/Herro?

    I'm just saying ankle sprains are not like ACL/MCL tears or even an Achilles.

    Miami might be loading up for the Nets but a declining Tucker and a 34 year Ariza are not going to be a Harden, Kyrie and KD stopping crew.
