MASSIVE THREE-TEAM MOCK TRADE! WARRIORS, RAPTORS, ROCKETS…WHO SAYS NO?

MASSIVE THREE-TEAM MOCK TRADE! WARRIORS, RAPTORS, ROCKETS…WHO SAYS NO?

So if that’s the case if SE yakum looks like a good fit if he does have more scoring that the Warriors could really use defensively obviously he’s not the Difference Maker that Draymond is but you know he’s good defensively what if the Warriors said hey we’re gonna we’re

Gonna move on from Draymond so we don’t have to fear the next time he tries to kick an opponent in the nuts or something and and we’re going to go for for seum so uh again in the same idea with my earlier three teamer you know the Raptors don’t need Draymond you know

They’re they’re not necessarily rebuilding but like they they don’t need Scotty Barnes and RJ Barrett and Draymond it’s just they need more shooting than that so A team that could use Draymond uh I think is the Houston Rockets I think they’re looking for a front Court differen maker defensively

They want to make a move they they signed Jeff Green and Jo Londale to to deals that they could move they traded uh for Victor olot to give them a a chip uh to match salary so I think they’re looking to make a move I think they’d

Like to add a front Court piece so here’s the deal I put together uh Draymond Looney and Gary Payton go to the Rockets because that’s the always the tricky part about training for seak is he makes like $38 million so you’ve got to get there in salary somehow uh so

Draymond Looney Gary pyton to the Rockets uh then Toronto also tossed them Garrett Temple and Christian Koko just to make a salary match but uh the Raptors get that Jeff Green Victor Oladipo jock Londale collection of salaries that are all expiring and then they get Jaylen green

Former number two pick who uh still has a lot of potential but I think has has moved down the pecking order enough in Houston where they’ve got Fred ranet sen senon coming into his own Jabari Smith you’ve got Dylan Brooks love to shoot so I think Jaylen green has fallen out of

Favor not a ton but enough where he’s not going to be super coveted and that could kind of get things moving for Toronto and then I think uh and I think the Warriors need to put in a pick and so they sent a 26 first maybe protected

If if this is their big move Lotto protected to Toronto and then the Warriors get Pascal sakam and Reggie Bullock so major piece is you’re sending out Draymond Looney pton and a pick and getting back seak what do you think about that for the Warriors you know what I love it I

Actually I actually love it and this is something I’ve never thought like never actually thought about in the last few days because obviously sakam has been especially after the anobi pce Falls like sakam is now the big Name Across social media and whatever else and a lot of Warrior fans talking about discussing

A potential searam trade and I’ve never got it because I just thought okay it’s either going to be it’s probably going to be Wiggins and in that scenario like who’s your starting small forward and that you know that do you have kaminga out there but then the floor spacing

With kaminga sakam and Draymond just doesn’t make any sense and so I just never landed on you know who would be the starting small forward in a sekam trade and not once did I ever think why don’t you just send Dron out instead of Wiggins this is literally you saying

It’s the first time even considered that and it actually makes a whole lot of sense because yeah the fit between sekam and Draymond like they have to play at the four and the five and so you don’t have a traditional Center out there for starters and as I said the shooting the

Shooting issues that come with that that just that makes um that makes sense and I and I think it makes sense all around like I think if you’re Toronto and you’re saying we’ve got a guy here who is going to be a free agent at the end

Of the season who might leave anyway and I can get a a former number two overall pick from a couple of years ago in Jaylen green and then if you’re the Rockets you’ve got Draymond under contract for another three seasons after this the one issue I would have is

Draymond and Dylan Brooks on the same team are we is that going to work are we sure about that uh so that would be that would be com yeah I think Houston’s drinking the uh the Oka Kool-Aid where they’re like man Brook’s totally fine look at him he’s a perfect angel nower

Could do anything he can get everyone in line so yeah I think they they’re too confident they tuck themselves into it and and the other thing from a Houston perspective I guess I’m now questioning is what’s your front Court looking like so is Draymond starting with shenon and

Then what’s happened to Jabari Smith Jr in that scenario yeah so that’s fair um I just think defensively it’s probably you don’t have enough Rim protection if you’ve got seon and Jabari Smith potentially you might be able they might be fine going to war with that but I

Think the idea is yeah you bring Smith off as like the Super Sub you’ve got this three three pieces where any of them could really play center or power forwards you can just kind of rotate them around with each other um and they all you know 96 Minutes of those two

Positions you divide give them you know 30 32 each to those three players so something like that but yeah at some point they’ve got I mean they’ve got so many good players now that they’ve got a force guys to the bench somewhere and so yeah yeah think have your you know your

Reserve Center yeah I actually like I I love and again I can’t believe that I didn’t consider moving Draymond in a sekam trade I was like it’s either be Wiggins or CP3 and the issues with that is who’s your starting small forward or who’s your secondary ball handler

Playmaker and so I always landed on I just not sure i’ do it because of those issues and not once did I think about Draymond so that’s that’s super interesting uh

With speculation heating up ahead of the February 8 trade deadline, FanSided’s Josh Cornelissen proposes a monster three-team trade between the Warriors, Raptors and Rockets. Is it fair value given the respective ambitions of each franchise?
