Looking at those players, their teams seems failing to live up in their expectations so far. Their GMs might shop them at the trade deadline if their teams continue to suck it up after the All-Star break. Some of them could really be acquired cheaply.

Marc Gasol may have his way already on a steady decline. So is Noah.

Why is Marc Gasol on the list?  He's not going anywhere and he won't be cheap (neither trade or contract).  The Grizz would be 4-1 except they sat Gasol and Conley against the TWolves. 

If I had to trade for one of the other 3, it would be Bogut since he's on the last year of his contract.  Noah's contract is terrible and Chandler's is bad.  We don't need a mediocre or worse player taking up our cap space next offseason.  Ainge should wait for a big trade or pick up someone like Noel in free agency.

Greg Monroe and Nerlens Noel.

I'd take either of them above anybody on that list except Gasol, who is nowhere near realistic as a 'cheap' target.  Actually I'd probably take them over Gasol too since he's old, injury prone and does not rebound.

Bogut would be a great fit, but I don't think Dallas would move him cheaply.

WCS could be an option, Sac has been known to just give away lottery picks on a few occasions allready

He's getting old and injury prone at this point. I doubt he will be any pricier than Brook Lopez in this stage of his career.

No it's not!

I'd go young with Noel or WCS.

If you believe that, why would you want Gasol who has a big 4 year contract?  We'd be paying over 55M in 2019/20 for just Horford and Gasol.

Chandler is probably a downgrade from Amir...

Just goes to show how talented bigs are a rarity..

Team WCS. As long he stops the Oreb procession I'm cool.

I voted for Bogut, but should have picked other.  If we can snag Noel cheap he would be a great big to compliment our current team.  Not sure about the cheap part though.  But with Embiid's great play maybe this is moving in the right direction.
