Somebody else in another threat mentioned CJ McCollum. I'd trade Hill for him in a second, or a first round pick... and to be honest, I'd even consider trading him for a high second. |
Hill is probably too big a leap given what it would take to get everything lined up, including the players LA would have to release to make the deal work (you have to make roster space for inbound players before the trade).
I was thinking Portland could benefit from a Sacre/LAL 2015 2nd round pick for the POR 2015 1st round pick deal. The pick swap may only be about 10 spots, and high 2nd rounders can be valuable in their own right given the lack of contract guarantee. Sacre gives them a little depth while Aldrige is out, and even might have some regional fan base given his 4-years up in Gonzaga.
That's not a deal they would probably do in June, but if it helps them now, the long range cost isn't great. _________________ Austin Reaves keeps his game tight, like Kobe Bryant on game night. |
