Lets say If all the teams agreed to this... Would you want to?
Por: CJ and a 2020 second round pick
Mem: #4 pick and Chandler Parsons
Portland Does it because:
Swapping CJ's contract for Parsons contract means 1 less year of paying CJ but the #4 pick is why you do it. If you absolutely love someone at #4, would you do it?
Why Memphis does it:
They started tanking too early with Conley, Gasol, and CJ they could have a really good Playoff team that hopes to challenge in the west(assuming everyone stays healthy)
Trade #2
Den Sends: Kenneth Faried and the 14th pick and 43rd pick
Portland Sends: TPE and the 24th pick
Why Portland does it:
While they are in the luxury tax now, they gain a better first round and a second rounder. Also Faried could be used off the bench kind of like how ED is now.
Why Denver does it: I guess they do it to clear up space(reportedly what they want), and they still get a draft pick out of it.
Trade 3:
Orlando gets: Cash
Portland gets: 41st pick
With the picks you get:
#4 one of Bagley, Jackson, Bamba
#14 Walker or Knox or if one of the Bridges' falls
#41 Diallo or Okogie or if someone slides
#43 See above or Kostas
Are these Feasible trades?
Why/Why not?
Don't agree with the drafting?
