5. Green/Boston - Green for, nope, can't see it
Would Cleveland actually be interested in Granger? I can't see Green either. And is Chicago willing to delay their championship aspirations by dealing a Thibodeau favourite? I would guess not at this point.
If you really look at it, outside of the elite Small Forwards (LeBron, Durant), there really is a limited amount of 'viable SFs' who could be considered in this type of deal.
G. Wallace (no), T. Young (76ers not interested), Ilyasova (would they consider him to be viable...or a SF), Marion (no), Gallinari (doubt Denver does it), H. Barnes (GS says no), Parsons (doubt it), MWP (not happening), Prince (not happening), AK47 (not happening), Aminu (nope), K. Leonard (Spurs would not move him), etc.
The list, I think, would only contain the following:
1) Rudy Gay
2) Nic Batum - I'm not positive that Batum would be available...but I could see a basic framework of a larger deal.
3) Deng - Possible, but not likely
4) Granger - I don't think Cleveland could talk themselves into it with Granger's injury

Batum can't be traded until July 18th but why would Portland trade him with him locked up and not even 25?
Granger... not only his knees but his age (30) combined with his knees.
Tough to take anythign seriously this time of year, though.

Once we hit July, Cleveland has loads of cap space, while right now they have none. A trade with them for their draft pick could be a situation where the trade is agreed to before or at the draft, but doesn't actually happen until after the July moratorium.
It would be great if the trade machine had an option to execute a trade at a future date.

JS: Any updates on the status of head coach Dwane Casey or potential changes to his staff?
MU: Things are on the move and we’re still going through the process. We’ll figure it out and I know that’s a wide-ranging answer. Things have gone well with Coach, we’ve had tons and tons of meetings, we have dinner tonight [Tuesday] with Rudy Gay, so we’re moving the right way. As those decisions [with assistants] need to be made, we will make them the best way we feel is heading in the right direction for the organization.

option 1) Appetizer, Main course, *Rudy we are trading you to Cleveland*, Dessert
option 2) Rudy is the face of the franchise along with JV.

(The trademachine also doesn't account for including cash in a deal to make a trade work under the rules, and Cleveland can do that too.)Last edited by magoon; Wed Jun 19, 2013, 06:43 PM.

Come July 1, a team under the cap can trade for Rudy more easily. At that point, Gay for Alonzo Gee/Anderson Varajao or Alonzo Gee/Tyler Zeller/Tristan Thompson both work (and I would vote for the latter).

Cash included in trade has no impact on numbers required to make trades work.
