NBA Trade Rumors |

Here’s a far fetched one.  OKC trades CP3 to Atlanta for Trae?  We’d have to throw in picks and maybe players.  But this would get rebuild going with SGA/Trae and some other good young players.  Giving up picks is fine since we get a top drafted player.  Plus Trae playing at home helps keep fans engaged for future tix sales.  We can give up some picks for this.  I’m hearing rumblings of Trae not being happy there but nothing to confirm it.

There is 0 chance that ATL gives up their 20 year old star for a 35 year old CP3 with almost 100 million left due to him over the next 3 years. Even if OKC gives them picks. I think Atlanta might listen if OKC gives them the 7 picks they got in the PG trade, but even that that'd be a REALLY tough sell on their fans. "Don't worry guys, wait 8 years and we'll have a bunch of chances to maybe find another Trae!"

Agree but they did take Melo off our hands when it seemed impossible.  Got us Dennis in return who is actually worth something now.

It was far fetched but would be a good get for OKC even though I agree it will never happen.  But if Trae does get flustered they will have to resolve before its too late.  They still have time so no rush.

ThunderMav, you know I love ya man but that proposal wasn't even far fetched, it was so out of this galaxy LOL. They took Melo for draft compensation, not giving up their franchise cornerstone. They also got rid of a known locker room problem in Dennis Schroeder so that was a plus. 

Technically they don't have to do anything when it comes to Trae for another 3 years minimum. And even then he'd be restricted. Trae is going to be in ATL for the next 8 years barring extreme injuries. If ATL hasn't gotten a winning team by then, then yeah I can see Trae forcing his way out ala AD. But there is no way ATL is giving away Trae in his 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th year.
