Power Forward/Center Trade Targets

[FNG]

I have Nance Jr. miles ahead of the other two and would love to have him as our starting PF. I'd offer Beasley and McDaniels for him, but Cleveland is already long on SG's. So it would have to be Culver and another asset...maybe McDaniels. Cleveland isn't at all set at SF, so they might consider- especially if Love were healthy. I like Culver, but I like the way Nance fills a need more.

I have zero interest in Prince or Bagley.

I'd argue we're not set at SF either.....Again, I fail to see any compelling reason why Cleveland would look to trade Nance Jr. for someone who is a vastly inferior player at the moment in Beasley, Culver, McDaniels or any combination therein.

I agree, Q. I still think the best thing the Wolves can do is offer Beasley to a team that likes his 3-point scoring potential in exchange for a serviceable PF. I'm not talking anywhere near Nance level. I just want someone who will defend and board better than our current options.

Jarred Vanderbilt, your table is ready!

Ha, that's a party of 2- I presume you'll be joining him!

Well, the kid has the rebounding part covered- he's boarded well everywhere he's played. I noticed though that someone maligned his defense in the Clippers GDT. I didn't watch that closely so I can't comment. But he seems to have all the size and athletic tools one would need to be a very good defender. What did others see in the Clippers game?

Abe claimed he was totally lost, which he wasn't. When he went into the game they went into a zone and so he was guarding an area and not a specific guy....tough to judge someone's defense based on the kind of junk defenses Ryan is having to throw at teams. If you see him in a more traditional man to man setting, he is a decent defender. How decent is a legit question and I have no clue how he'd look against starter-level talent. But he certainly isn't totally lost out there and he has all the tools as you said.

Only one of these 3 guys were picked high in the draft. Larry Nance is another guy the Lakers moved on from. Is Bagley the next Jabari Parker a high pick that will end up bouncing around?

My point is while each of these guys may have some sort of value/potential but it doesn't seem like they are guys that I would give up a whole lot for. I agree with other Nance is the best of the bunch but like other have said the Cavs are gonna want something legit for giving him up.

Can we find the next Nance or some other guy that became pretty solid? There has to be some other options. It's not hard to see why the Wolves went for 2 possible PF options with Vanderbilt and Juancho in that move last season. I know nobody thinks Juancho is the answer or even part of the solution in the rotation but at the time it made sense to bring him in.

RHJ is a flawed player but I think I'd rather just bring him in and see what he could do with this group than give up value for a guy that's sort of replaceable or in Nance's case more than I would like to give up.

Eventually there will be someone worthwhile available. John Collins...what happens with him?

I bet they would if they could get anything of reasonable value for him. At this point his situation with the Kings kinda reminds me of where the Wolves were with Derrick Williams after a couple years. For what you would probably get back you may as well aS well keep him and hope he turns into something. I'd guess Bagley is worth more than Williams who is now out of the league but...the Wolves maybe should have taken what they could get earlier.
