Okc Thunder sends Schroeder to Phoenix
Suns send Rubio + a 2020 1st Rd pick swap to Okc

Or

Okc sends Schroeder + a 2020 1st Rd to Phoenix
Suns send Rubio + either Bridges or Johnson back to Okc

Don't want Rubio. Schroeder can get a young player and a pick from several teams in the East.


2.) 17 Sep 2020 00:44:23
Postal, Schroeder is only going to a win now team since he’s on his final year of his contract, which also means only a limited # of teams with their late Rnd future draft picks to choose from & we already have a lot of those. Hell, if Phoenix wanted to keep Rubio and add Schroeder, they have enough cap space. I’d swap him for Bridges or their 2020 1st Rnd pick.

Rubio was only in there for a salary match for the trade.

Miami / Thunder trade

Miami gets Schroeder, Gallinari & Denver's 2020 1sr Rnd pick

Okc gets Dragic, Johnson & Herro

Schroeder is an upgrade on Dragic and doesn't have the injury history.
Gallinari should be an all star playing in the East & he said he'd sign for less in 2021 with a team that is a legitimate contender.

It's a talent shift from one team to the other, the salaries equal each other out & Miami gets a 1st Rndr to use as an asset.

Schroeder is a downgrade from Dragic.


2.) 14 Aug 2019 12:19:43
Miami is not giving up Herro.


3.) 14 Aug 2019 15:31:00
I guess Schroeder is a downgrade. I looked at their stats and they’re pretty much identical, except he’s 8 years younger and didn’t sit out 1/ 2 the season last year.
But I get it, that doesn’t guarantee he’ll have a similar year this year.

As far as Herro goes, I wouldn’t give him up either, but people are always going to ask.

I saw the Heat’s schedule come out this week, they should be good to make the playoffs with what they got this year.
I would just be patient and wait until next year to make the necessary moves to get someone else to play with Butler.

Completely off the wall, this will not happen because of salaries and legth of contracts,
But putting those factors off to the side.

Are the Knicks a better team next year and possibly in the playoffs if they send to Okc:

Portis
Gibson
Ellington
Payton
Bullock

Thunder send back to NY:

CP3
Gallinari
Noel
Denver 2020 1st Rnd pick

Washington gets - Paul, Winslow, Olynyk, Miami 2020 & 2022 1st rd, & Okc 2020 2nd Rd
Wash. gains 3 mil in salary

Miami gets - Beal, Wall & Denver 2020 1st (via Okc) + Miami 1st rd 2021 & 2023 (via Okc)
Miami saves 2 1/2 mil in salary

Okc gets - Dragic, Johnson, Herro & Miami 2024 1st rd
Okc saves 1/2 mil in salary

If Miami is serious about getting Beal, are they willing to take on Wall as well? If so they are going to have to find some draft picks and young assets to offer in addition to that before other teams get involved on Dec 15th.

In this trade scenario, Miami is able to disperse their undesirable contracts among 2 teams.
They gain a small bit of salary relief.
They're still able to hold onto Adebayo.
And they gain access to 1st rd draft picks to offer Washington in order to get Beal because Okc gave them back their own 2 1st rounders, which is why they give Okc their 2024 1st rd

Seems like Washington is giving up Beal to unload Wall, but is taking on Paul.


2.) 29 Jul 2019 02:22:40
Freeman, that is absolutely correct, but Paul is the same price on a shorter contract.

He also is a serviceable player that has the ability to play this year and the next. He’s a 9 time All-Star that can still score 20 points, get 10 assist and hit the 3.

Wall is going to try to come back from an injury that has been often a career ending injury or has greatly altered the players effectiveness.

Washington would trade for Paul in a straightup deal in a heartbeat if Okc said they would be willing to do it and Washington did not have to give up anything else.

Keep in mind, this is in response to the Miami Heat report of pursuing Bradley Beal and being willing to take on John Wall's contract, but they don't want to lose all/any of their young assets(theres no way they could get the $$$ to work and get Washington willing to take the bad contracts)

3 team trade:

Okc sends - Chris Paul and a 2020 2nd to Washington - send both of Miami's 1st rd picks(2021 & 2023) back to Miami
Okc receives - Dragic, Johnson & Herro plus Miami's 2024 1st rd pick

Washington sends - Bradley Beal & John Wall to Miami
Washington receives - Chris Paul, Justice Winslow, Olynyk plus Miami's 2020 & 2022 1st rd picks plus Okc 2020 2nd rd pick

Miami sends - Justice Winslow & Olynyk plus 2020 & 2022 1st rd to Washington - send Dragic, Johnson & Herro to Okc

Miami is able to get rid of all their bad/undesirable contracts and is able to still keep Adebayo. There is no way they could offer Washington a deal on their own that wasn't all of these same bad contracts as well as probably all of their young assets since they have no draft capital to offer. They also save 2 1/2 million in salary

Washington gets rid of the Wall contract by getting a player with the same money but on a shorter number of years that is physically able to play right now(Chris Paul). In addition, they receive 2 1st rd picks, a 2nd rd pick and a young asset in Winslow. They gain about 3 million in salary

Okc unloads Chris Paul, they get the young asset they wanted from Miami in Herro and by giving Miami back their 2 1st, it opened up the ability for Miami to offer them to Washington in the deal. As a result Okc gets Miami's 2024 1st back. Okc saves about 1/2 million in salary.

I keep trying to figure out a trade for Okc and Miami or
Okc, Miami and Washington
All centering on moving Chris Paul.

But given the parameters Riley has put on it for Miami & what Washington is going to ask for to trade Beal in a 3 team trade & what Okc is not willing to trade away...

My only conclusion is that Okc is going to be much better off keeping Paul until a team feels like they NEED him to help their playoff team. That may not happen this year (or even ever) which is Ok, because Okc can afford to have him on their salary and be able to get under the luxery and still have all 15 draft picks to help make the team better, rather than to use them to dump salary.

Okc has about 40 mil in salary coming off the books the following year in expiring or option contracts, so they will be under the salary cap even while still carrying Paul, Schroeder & Adams on the team.

It's an unusual situation because Paul knows he's on the trading block, the entire team knows he's on the trading block, all other teams know he's availabke and everyone is fine with it.
Paul will need to go out and be a professional and put out his best product on the floor as well as be a good locker room guy, otherwise he knows NO team will ever trade for him. The better the team does under his leadership, the better his appeal will be.

I'm hoping the best for all teams this upcoming season, but if anyone thinks they may NEED or want an Okc player this upcoming season, just know that Presti will not consider a deal that does not lower their salary, brings them draft picks or acquires them some young desirable assets.
Otherwise they have no need to make any trade this season, they are not competing for the playoffs this upcoming year and they already have a competitive team to put out on the floor this upcoming season.

I am more interested in seeing how Chris Paul reacts to being on a non-playoff team that is starting a rebuild. I don't think he retires, but I don't think he will be the most positive influence on the young players either.


2.) 31 Jul 2019 07:21:24
Also, I think there might be another team that may take Paul. However, they would probably only send $30 mil in salary back. Is that $10 mil saving in salary (plus what would be paid in luxury tax) be worth say Denver's 2020 first rounder?


3.) 31 Jul 2019 14:03:52
Yeah, I don’t think Chris Paul is a good teammate at the best of times. He’s a bit like Kobe, just insufferable dicks. It’s going to get ugly when they’re 15 games under .500.

Websjac, we actually don’t know that 5 and 8 wouldn’t be enough, but I’m pretty sure that it isn’t going to be.
It would be really stupid for any team to accept any deal until draft night so that they could consider and maximize all possible offers. However, it would be a smart idea of Cleveland to make other teams think that 5 and 8 isn’t enough so that they could drive up the asking price.

Okc could easily sweeten their offer with things Orlando wouldn’t likely want to top, just so the Magic could move up 2 spots.
Okc could change it’s offer to picks 6, 10, take Love’s $60 Mil contract off their books, send Kenrich Williams and add a 2022 1st Rnd pick.
If the Cavs are seriously considering offers, it’s hard to imagine another team out there willing or able to beat that one, just so that they could draft Jalen Green or Even Mobley. Orlando only has their own 1st Rnd picks and it’s likely to be a lottery pick again next year.
It honestly comes down to what the Cavs realistically hoped to get for the #3 pick, if they ever really were considering a trade.

JJ_PR, your right, the Cavs could spend $60 Mil in dead money to buy him out over the next 2 years or maybe 5 years, but understand that dead money is a real hinderence to teams trying to rebuild (or compete) . Especially if they’re still intending to keep and re-sign Allen to that new, large contract, plus sign whoever they draft at #3.
I assume they’re tired of rebuilding and not making the playoffs by now, so they’re probably ready to start competing, that’ll mean trying to attract someone in free agency to that destination city of Cleveland with a lot more money.
But your right, rarely do we see an NBA team attach a value to dumping a players $60 Mil salary for someone they don’t really want on the team anymore.

Fredman, anything can happen happen and usually does in Churchpugh’s little world.

Okc could get Williams and Oturo for Hill straight up. It’s pretty much the only way financially Hill ends up on the Clippers without Okc taking on extra $$$ for no reason.
The Might even be able to squeeze a 2nd out of them since Williams would never actually board a plane and suit up for Okc anyway.
Why would Okc take Reggie Jackson so that the Clippers could get Josh Jackson? There’s no incentive or return that would compel them to take on RG’s salary for nothing.
Okc doesn’t want Reggie Jackson back. He was a horrible locker room guy when he played for them the 1st time.

Websjac, not all Okc fans think like that.
Churchpugh lives in his own world though. He definitely proposes the most absurd and lopsided trade ideas.
It’s frustrating to read anything he posts EVEN as an Okc fan.
All you can do is either ignore his posts or be prepared to scream at the screen when you read them.
But don’t worry, nobody takes anything from him seriously.
