With Adebo being the rightful heir and Alonte looking very promising as well, plus if we’re able to resign Yiadom/draft someone like Kalen King, DJ James, or Kamari Lassiter, I might not be too mad as this. Odds are though, we’re not in the position to ask for a first. We’d likely have to settle on a second and two fourths….

According to ESPN, “Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is "’a trade candidate’" if the San Francisco 49ers cannot finalize an extension this offseason, according to ESPN's Dan Graziano.”

I believe this is true but they very well could look to franchise tag him after the incredible season that he had. The Niners haven’t been able to very far in negotiations and are known to let great players go in the past. What do you think? Is Aiyuk gonna be resigned? Is he gonna be tagged? Or will they get what they can from him rather than have him leave next year. Let me know your thoughts….

Why the Mavs do this- they definitely need someone to step in now that Green and Kleber are hurt and Grant isn’t playing great. Besides. It will be a nice little reunion.

Roster:

G- Luka Doncic

G- Kyrie Irving

F- Grant Williams

F- Dorian Finney-Smith

C- Derrick Lively

Why the Nets do this- They don’t even start DFS and have zero reason to keep him….

Why the Pelicans do this- I know I seem to preach keeping Herb and Trey but how can we pass this opportunity up? We finally have a chance to bring a true number one star (Zion hasn’t been it and I don’t think BI has it in him)

Roster:

G- CJ Mocullum

G- Donovan Mitchell

G/F- Brandon Ingram

F- Zion Williamson

C- Jonas Valanciunas

Why Cleveland does this- I’ve seen some stuff about the Cavs being interested in dealing Donovan or Garland and if you ask me, this might be the best they get. And if the Knicks outbid the Pels certainly wouldn’t mind throwing in more picks if necessary. A future All-Defensive G/F in Herb Jones and a very promising prospect who’s already shown flashes of being great + multiple picks is perfect for Donovan Mitchell.

Roster:

G- Darius Garland

G/F- Herb Jones

G/F- Trey Murphy II/Caris Levert/Issac Okoro

F/C- Evan Mobley

C- Jarrett Allen…

From Zion being straight up fat to Trey Murphy and Brandon Ingram being straight up better than him it’s getting to be time to move on. Whether it’s at the deadline or the end of the season it’s time. But in this scenario I’m going to challenge you to trade Zion with a deadline situation in mind.

Rules

1) Must Trade Zion Williamson but keep Herb, TMII and BI. CJ is fine but not sure why you’d want to include him.

2) Don’t do the same trade as others, mix it up.

3) Have fun!

If you don’t understand I’ll put it in a nutshell; Use the Fanspo Trade Machine to create a realistic Zion Williamson trade whilst keeping most of our other guys together.

You’ll have 3-4 days to create your trades and rankings + explanations will be out Wednesday.

Why OKC does this- they are in need of a better rebounder/rim protector and should be pursuing another star. They have a huge arsenal of picks and need some way to get rid of them. Tre and Poku don’t get any real minutes and Josh is a…. you know.

G- SGA

G/F- Dort/Jdub

F- Lauri

F/C- Chet

C- Capela

Why ATL does this- they have someone to step up at center and aren’t giving up much for this great return. Poku will be a great backup F/C and might eventually start

Why UTA does this- they are clearly rebuilding but aren’t winning anything with their “centerpiece” at this moment. And getting a future PG with a high ceiling and a great playmaker with possibly even higher potential.

No minutes: Colby Jones (71) Chris Duarte (73), Bruno Fernando (74), Skylar Mays (75), Terrance Davis (75)…

Why Detroit does this- It seems they want Killian to play most of the minutes and they have a shit ton of other guards on the roster. Dyson could play a G/F spot like he should be and Nance.. isn’t very good so I’ll let someone else decide that.

Why New Orleans does this- We aren’t really using Dyson, and Nance sucks ass, so even with Jose coming back we could use another guard on the roster. CJ/Herb and Jose/Hawkins/Ivey would be fire. TMII would likely go back to playing a point forward spot

Why OKC does this- Apparently they are looking for a big and Kuz is probably their most ethical option. Bertans is just old and a shooter that they don’t really need. Tre Mann doesn’t play real minutes but plays good when he does. OKC has no really use for him behind Dort, Wiggins, Joe, SGA, Giddey, and more. They very well could trade Karl Malone Josh Giddey for other assets as well.

Why Washington does this- They suck. Bad. They definitely need picks…

G- Saben Lee (99 I think), Josh Green (75), Jaden Hardy (75)

G- Bradley Beal (86), Robert Covington (76), Jordan Goodwin (74)

G/F- Devin Booker (95), Nassir Little (76), Grayson Allen (75), Keita Bates-Deiop (73)

F- Kevin Durant (96), Bol Bol (76), Damion Jones (74)

C- Jusuf Nurkic (81), Drew Eubanks (76)

Everyone else is homeless…

Why Memphis does this- they are clearly in need of a wing and why wouldn’t they trade for arguably the best 3 & D wing in the league? He fits this team perfectly.

G- Derrick Rose (I believe Smart is hurt)

G- Desmond Bane

G/F- OG Anunoby

F- Otto Porter Jr/Santi Aldama/Bismack Biyombo

C- Jaren Jackson Jr

Why Toronto does this- supposedly they are trying to trade OG for multiple firsts. I doubt they’ll actually get that but if something like this deal popped up they would definitely accept.
