Jalen Green+Jock Landale+FVV+#10+Tari Eason+Nets 2027 First for Paul George+#3+Tyrese Maxey.

Draft Edgecomb

Sengun/Adams
Smith/Brooks
George/Cam or Brooks mostly as George is injured
Maxey/Edgecomb
Amen/Reed

 

We don't have the cap room. And I hear he's asking for a lot more than that.

 

lol imagine the athleticism of Edgecomb and Amen together

 

I hate taking on George, but if we could do the second deal I’d do it all. Even if George is hurt a lot of time, Dillon is still a starting level SF. Maxey, Amen, Edgecomb WOW!

 

Cedric could be better than vje.

 

Could we just flip FVV for Harden? Or Green+Jock?

 

Pretty sure Philly would respond with

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

 

Since PHX is looking for a center, look for a team desperately looking to get rid of theirs. Maybe loop in Chicago to have them send Vucevic to the Suns?

 

I’d love something like this. Then the Rockets could just draft an upperclassman safe role player type guy at a lower salary. Hopefully they could fill in minutes down the line.

Then you get more assets later. If the Rockets are patient they could really stretch out how long the team could be good. Bringing in young talent through the years would do just that.

 

That’s quite unique and interesting. I would think it would take 3 picks and/swaps more to do it though. But I don’t know Paul George is an anchor and maybe they really want to trade him away and start over.

 

What would Philly look like after this?

 

They would be too busy laughing at it to think about what they would look like.

 

I like this idea a lot, but I don’t think the Nets would give up the Knicks 2029 FRP bc it is unprotected. Plus this would give the Rockets 4 FRPs in 29 and I don’t think they would want that. Maybe replace the 29 Knicks pick with the 27 PHI pick as it is top 8 protected? Honestly, I would be ok with replacing the Knicks pick with 2-3 2nds as well. I think 2nds will be valuable for teams like the Rockets with the new CBA. Drafting a role player in the 2nd round will be like finding gold for teams that are up against the 2nd apron.

 

I think the Knicks pick might be much. I don't think the Rockets would want to draft 4 picks in a year, but expect they would want to trade some. Mostly, I am looking for 2 picks 27 or later, but don't want to lose the value of the 10th pick.

 

Off the top of my head

Embiid/Landale
Eason/Yabusele
Grimes/Oubre
McCain/Green
FVV

And they add someone with #10

 

Spoke on it in the KD thread but we should be saving assets up to take a swing at Ant if he wants to make his way out

 

If Ant did want out which there is no indication that is even a thing you are going to need significantly more than that.

 

I know but just playing around. I think Ant is hilarious but I don’t think his ego will allow him to stay in Minny losing

I was just trying to see how easy our assets could match up in a trade

 

Hauser’s an interesting possibility. Wonder what it would take? We could use his shooting.
