NOTE: DUNCAN ROBINSON WOULD BE EXTENDED TO A 3 YEAR 46 MILLION DOLLARS. JONAS VALUNTUNAS WOULD GET AN EXTENSION I JUST DIDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH IS FAIR FOR HIM. FOR THE TRADE, I HAVEN'T SEEN MUCH OF THE GRIZZLIES THIS YEAR OR THE PACERS, I HAVE SEEN A FEW GAMES BUT VALUNTUNAS AND 1 FIRST MIGHT BE TOO MUCH? PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF IT SHOULD BE VALUNTUNAS+1 SECOND OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

BLAZERS: CLARKE IS A VERY GOOD PLAYER, SO IT WILL BE HARD TO GET HIM. HE IS STILL ON A ROOKIE CONTRACT, SO THAT MEANS THAT HE IS MAKING ONLY A FEW MILLION DOLLARS. CLARKE HAS DECENT EFFICIENCY, AND HIS ADVANCED STATS ARE GOOD. ALTHOUGH THEY GIVE UP SIMONS, HE DOESN'T PLAY MUCH (SLIGHTLY UNDER 16 MINUTES PER GAME) LITTLE (UNDER 15 MINUTES) AND 1 FIRST (PROTECTED) THEY SHOULD DO THAT BECAUSE THEY ARE A WIN-NOW TEAM, AND THIS MOVE MAKES THEM A LOT BETTER IF IT HAPPENS.

HEAT: THE HEAT GIVE UP 1 FIRST, ROBINSON AND ACHIUWA FOR TURNER AND LITTLE. IT IS DEFINTLEY AN OVERPAY, BUT THEY WOULD NEED TO DO AN OVERPAY TO GET TURNER. ALTHOUGH TURNER ISNT SHOOTING GREAT FROM 3 THIS SEASON, HE IS EFFICENT AND HAS OVER 3 BLOCKS, AND IS A DPOY CANADATE. MYLES TURNER HAS OVER 2 WIN SHARES FOR DEFENSE, AND 1.9 DBPM SO THAT SUGGEST HE IS A VERY GOOD DEFENDER. HAVING A ADEBAYO-TURNER 4-5 WOULD REALLY HELP THEM BECAUSE IT WOULD GET THEM THE 3 POINT SHOOTING (TURNER) ALONG WITH THE AMAZING DEFENSE OF ADEBAYO AND TURNER WHICH WOULD TAKE THE HEAT FROM NOT FINAL CONTENDERS TO A REAL THREAT. ALTHOUGH IT'S AN OVERPAY, IT IS WORTH IT.

THUNDER: PICK! THEY DO GIVE UP BROWN, BUT THEY ARE TRYING REALLY HARD TO GET PICKS, THEY ARE REBUILDING SO THEY GET A PICK WHICH IS A FIRST ROUNDER SO THEY SHOULD DO IT.

PACERS: THE PACERS TRADE TURNER FOR VALUNTUNAS AND 1 FIRST. ALTHOUGH THEIR DEFENSE WOULD TAKE A BIG HIT, GETTING VALUNTUNAS WOULD ALLOW THEM TO POSSIBLY TRADE SABONIS (IF THEY WANT TO), AND ALLOW THEM TO GET A PICK. VALUNTUNAS IS A BETTER REBOUNDER, SCORES A LOT MORE AND HAS BEEN VERY GOOD. THERE DEFENSE WOULDN'T BE AS GOOD, BUT OFFENCIVELY, THEY WOULD BE A LOT BETTER AND A BIG THREAT ON THAT END. THEIR DEFENSE SHOULD PICK UP SOMETIME ANYWAYS.

FOR ME, THE GRIZZLIES WERE THE TOUGHEST TEAM TO REASON WHY THEY DO IT. HOWEVER, THIS TRADE GETS THEM A YOUNGER CENTER THAT IS GOOD, BUT WORSE THEN VALUNTUNAS BY A LOT. IT ALSO GETS THEM ACHIUWA WHO IS A VERY GOOD DEFENSE. IT GETS THEM SHOOTING. HAVING BANE, MELTON, SIMONS AND ROBINSON SHOOTINGWISE WOULD BE GOOD-VERY GOOD, ADDING ACHIUWA ON THE DEFENCIVE END WOULD REALLY HELP. THE SECOND DOESN'T MATTER THAT MUCH, 9.5/10 TIMES THAT'S A BUST. VALUNTUNAS, CLARKE AND 1 SRP FOR BROWN, SIMONS, ACHIUWA AND ROBINSON WOULD BE THE TRADE. RIGHT NOW, THERE NOT TITLE CONTENDERS SO THEY SHOULD TRADE VALUNTUNAS FOR A YOUNGER CENTER+SOMETHING ELSE, BECAUSE THERE 3-5 YEARS AWAY FROM BEING A TITLE CONTENDER SO THEY WOULD BE WASTING HIS PRIME, AND HE LIKELY WOULDN'T STAY ANYWAYS. FOR CLARKE, THEY ALREADY HAVE JAREN JACKSON JR AND XAVIER TILMAN, SO THOSE 2 COULD TAKE UP SOME TIME AT THE 4. THEY WOULD ALSO BE GETTING ACHIUWA. SIMONS WOULD REALLY HELP THEIR SHOOTING, AND SO WOULD ROBINSON. I THINK THEY WOULD BE BETTER IF THEY DO THIS BECAUSE OF THE SHOOTING THEY WOULD GET, AND ALSO THEY WOULD BE YOUNGER SO THIS MOVE I'D SAY MAKES SENSE FOR THEM.
