On the ESPN trade machine it works: http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=yczesd62 I think we have to keep Fournier if we want Gobert long time in Orlando.

Two trades that would make us to a top team in the NBA 1. Vuc and this years FRP for Gobert 2. Bamba and Ross and a future FRP for Beal Starters: Fultz/Beal/Isaac/Gordon/Gobert Bench: Augustin or MCW/Fournier/Okeke/Aminu/Birch Rest:Fillers I know there is just a little chance Washington and Utah would agree to the trades. But I think our offer would be fair value.

Can we still trade Fournier before he take his player-option? If he takes the player-option can he still be traded in the offseason? Do you think the Spurs would trade us Aldrige & White for Vuc and a pick (2rd)? My dream would be: Trade Fournier and a 1rd Pick (lottery protect) for LaVine and trade Vuc and a 2rd pick for Aldrige and White.

Adam Silver should now open another trade-window. This would entertain the fans.

Switch Boston with the Hawks. http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=vqmmwub We get some good young Players in Capela and Huerter and an expiring contract in Turner.

Playing around with the trade machine. What do you think about this trades? Would the other team do the trade and should we do it? 1. Fournier, Vuc and our FRP for Conley and Gobert 2. Fournier, Vuc and our FRP for McCollum and Whiteside 3. Fournier, Vuc, Augustin and our FRP for DeRozan, White and Aldridge 4. Fournier and our FRP for LaVine 5. Fournier and Vuc for Dedmon, Barnes and a FRP 6. Vuc and our FRP for Ayton and Johnson 7. Fournier for Courtney Lee and a FRP 8. Fournier and Vuc for Adams and Gallinari

Would you do this trade? http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=usazcko Vuc, Fournier, Augustin and our FRP for DeRozan, Aldrige and White And do you think the Spurs would do it?

I think we have a diffrent opinion on that. I think he would be a nice fit in our roster. LaVine would give us that guy how can create his own shot. His athletic would fit nice in a uptempo system with Fultz and Gordon. His defense isn‘t great. But thanks to his athletic his is average defender. That should be enough thanks to the great defense Isaac plays. I also think LaVine would benefit from coach Cliff and the first time he plays for a team that can make the playoffs every year. I could not see another SG who fits better and we have a real chance to get with our assets. But I am open for other suggestions.

Scoring. What better player do you think we can get for Fournier?

http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=whbcpxd the Bulls would also get a FRP from Dallas and a FRP from us.

I disegee with you. LaVine is not a superstar. But he has some All-Star potential. He is very atlethic, has a good shoot, is a good passer an plays acceptable defense. He would definitely be a upgrade over Fournier. He style of play would fit very well with the rest of our roster. I think coach Clifford could get the max out of him. And all that for under 20mil.. a year.

Fournier to Dallas and FRP to Chicago Lee and FRP to Chicago LaVine to Orlando Rotation 2020 without Isaac and Aminu Fultz/Augustin (when healthy)/MCW (when healthy)/LaVine LaVine/Ross/Iwundu Iwundu/Ross/Johnson Gordon/Clark/Birch Vuc/Bamba/Birch Next season: Fultz/FA (maybe Augustin)/MCW LaVine/Ross/FA Isaac/Ross/Okeke Gordon/Aminu/Okeke Vuc (or trade him for Adams)/Bamba/Birch

http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=stvtmjg That gives us at least a starting PF until Gordon is back. Also we get an upgrade on SG and at the backup PG. To make the trade work I would include our 1rd pick (lottery protect if possible).

I love how Fournier has played the last few games! But I still think we should try to trade him. Why? Because I can see just two scenarios if we keep him. 1. Like in the past he will play some good games followed by many bad games. At the end of the season he will pick up his player-option and we have to keep him one more year. 2. He plays the rest of the season like he did the last few games. At the end of the season he will opt out of his contract an we have to pay him around 25mil a season to keep him. So what could be a realistic target for a trade? Personally I would not inculde Fultz, Isaac and Gordon in a trade. Also I would try to keep Bamba (include him just in a trade for a real good player). Beal: I can‘t see any trade that Washington would accept. Booker: I can‘t see any trade that the Suns would accept. Jrue Holiday: I think the pelicans want to keep him for teaching the young players. Maybe he will be available next season. LaVine: I think he would be a nice fit in our team. With Fultz, Isaac and Gordon his weaknesses on D shouldn‘d be a problem. Also his age and his contract would fit very nice in our team. LaVine can create his own shot, is a good shooter from outside and can run the fastbreak (would love to see a fastbreak with Fultz handling the ball and Gordon and Lavine run on the wing). To get the deal done a package of Fournier and a FRP (lottery protect) should be enough. If we want we could also include Augustin and/or Aminu in the deal for Satoransky (perfect backup PG, but a bit expensive) and/or Young and/or Dunn. DeRozan: I don‘t want to trade for him. We better keep Fournier. J. Brown: If we can get him for a package around Vuc this would be my preferred option. But I doubt Boston would trade him away. McCollum: I can‘t see any trade Portland would accept. Also I don‘t like his contract.

Like most of you I think we should try to trade Fournier and Vuc. But what can we get for them? It is unrealistic that we get a player like Beal, Brown, Booker etc. for one or both of them. Personally I would try to trade Fournier and maybe a future pick for LaVine. I think LaVine could help us a lot on offense. Also I like his contract. Then try to trade Vuc for Steven Adams (Jan 15). Adams would help us more on defense (specially on the PnR). His contact is „just“ for 2 more years. By that time Bamba should be ready to be the starter.
