What is the highest level 1 for 1 trade you could do today that would help both teams?

What I mean by highest level is like a superstar being traded for another superstar, but it helping both teams in the process. There's lots of stars out there who are very valuable to their team, but if you were to take them off it whomever replaced may not fill the hole they left behind. An example would be like trading LeBron for Durant. And I know LeBron is more valuable, but just for the sake of this topic the Warriors likely get better and the Cavs probably get worse. So it doesn't work out great for both sides. The Warriors with a great Center would be unstoppable, and a team like the Pelicans could use a great PG, but trade Steph Curry for Anthony Davis and now there's a whole at the 1 for GS and it throws off their style of play without the legendary shooting of Curry.

Okafor for Dwayne Wade

Actually pretty interesting and accurate

minus Wade's unsigned 1 year player option

and us Sixers' fans being pick/young talent fanatics

Would Wade be down to play in Philly?

scarecrowbarCeltics•

If he's willing to be a leader and be a player-coach for the guys, yeah. He could have a lasting impression on the youngest core with the most potential in the NBA.

Fultz/Wade/Saric/Simmons/Embiid - it's like a dad playing with a bunch of his sons. I kind of love this.

Plus the Bulls don't have to pay Wade and Okafor gets a fresh start? Not bad.

If Wade gives the kind of effort on defense that he did last season though, it could impose some bad habits on the young'uns.

mjh71276ers•

If not his hometown team, and assuming he doesn't go to a top tier team, why not?

1
bluemagic124NBA•

Cuz he wants to play for Chicago or a contender most likely. Philly is rebuilding.

2
mjh71276ers•

? Those are my exceptions

Hometown Team = Chicago

Contender = Top Tier Team

Griffin for PG13

How does this help the Pacers any more than Love does?

2
collegiateballer[IND] Jeff Foster•

I'd say Blake's has played a more prominent role in his system so his trade value is higher. I think they'd be comparable if they were both more of a focal point in their systems, but as it stands, I'd say the market would have more interest in Blake.

5
SCMAD[CLE] Matthew Dellavedova•

28 year Blake scares me way more than 28 year old Love. Over the past 3 years Love has played almost 50 more games and Love's game doesn't rely on elite athleticism the same way Griffin's does. I'm not really sure how either get you different results either.

Downvoted for an excellent and topical Dresden Files reference less than 24 hours after we got overtaken by "LeGone/HeGone" and copypastas? What is this sub coming to?! haha

The last thing I expected in here was a Dresden Files reference lol.

Amir Johnson for Kevon Looney?

Irving for Westbrook

Meyers Leonard for Kyle Singler.

Chris Paul for Kyrie Irving

Cp3 wouldnt help us more than Kyrie.

3
RaptorerRaptors•

He could run an offense when Lebron's on the bench. Also, he is a better defender on Curry.

6
collegiateballer[IND] Jeff Foster•

Yeah, the Defense is what they really need. With Chris Paul in the backcourt, they can hide a lot of players deficiencies on defense like JR and Korver

2
DREAMRRRPistons•

KCP for Porter

Drummond for Turner

Jackson for Payton

Leuer for Dudley

Harris for Marvin Williams

Morris for Morris

Boban for Cleveland 1st (maybe LeBron can use Boban like he did Mozgov)

1
crustysenorTrail Blazers•

We have CLE first. We'll pass.

2
iron_headBulls•

tbh I don't think Drummond for Turner would be that great for Indy. Turner already is showing range with his jumper and is turning into a solid rim protector while Drummonds regressed

That doesn't help out the Bulls lol

They get 1 less year of a player who is also more likely to leave

Assuming Memphis doesn't love the contract, Mike Conley for Lamarcus Aldridge

Who they playing at PG?

1
IMLOwl76ers•

Doesn't really matter. They're one of those good teams stuck behind the Warriors wall.

Then we're basically just jerking each other off here anyway,

Joke's on you. I'd be jerking off even if KD wasn't a bitch.

dude. no.

LooptydudeSpurs•

I say Lamarcus for Demarcus. I think Demarcus really needs a good coach to sort him out and he'll be set. Honestly don't know if LMA would be better in Nola but it may be just me being bitter af after the playoffs.

That's a fuckin awful trade for NOLA. LA is only gonna decline fron here on out.
