Obviously this depends on Harkless' health, but if he checks out, I think this trade would make a ton of sense.

POR Gets: Otto Porter Jr, Markieff Morris, Thomas Satoransky (TPE)
WAS Gets: Al-Farouq Aminu, Meyers Leonard, Skal Labissiere (TPE), Ben McLemore,
SAC Gets: Maurice Harkless, Jason Smith, Thomas Bryant, POR/WAS 2nds

Blue Names - Included to produce a $26.0 Otto Porter TRADE EXCEPTION for Washington.

Washington gets that trade exception, sheds money, and gets under the luxury tax. They also get a cheap young big in Skal and open up the starting SF spot for Oubre.
Sacramento isn't playing Skal, and they're having a solid season in which they don't have their pick. They don't have much at SF, so they might want Harkless.
Portland gets their starting SF and a shooting PF to replace Aminu, who fits well with our bench.

Lillard / Turner
McCollum / Curry
Porter Jr. / Stauskas
Collins / Morris
Nurkic / Collins

That lineup is ideal.
 
I also think Wall and Beal are so freaking selfish, complaining that other guys want shots while they’re shooting a bunch of ineffecient garbage. Weve heard Moe complain about attempts once but we never heard CJ and Dame complain about it.
Kelly O or Otto would be good, if you have a shooter like Otto maybe you should feed him and let him get into a rhythm.
Otto has some ball skills that have gone unused IMO (think of Batum playing under McMillan). Bad Porter Jr. is better now than Nic ever was, so I think our freedom and culture would be a great change of scenery for him.

I just think any guard should know that your shooters need to be fed, they’re gonna miss and some night they’ll suck but you gotta trust them and keep going to them, beal and wall almost have said nope not gonna pass to porter because he thinks he needs more shots. They run nothing for him. I think you’re pretty much spot on.

Itd be so weird to see morris in a Blazer uniform at this point, but overall I like it.
 
I don't think that's Otto Porter's fault at all. I think they're not utilizing him enough and he's getting frustrated because they've pigeon-holed him and stunted his development. I think that's exacerbated by the attitude their backcourt brings. I'd love Otto Porter Jr. in a Blazer uniform.

It sounds like he’s bitching. Maybe he should be, who knows. Guys on shitty teams who are whining about their shots are concerning.

Thats a fair take but Beals complaining about other guys wanting more shots is hilarious cut down beals shot attempts to 6per game and Id bet he’d be pissed about it too.

But i think it’s reasonable that Beal should get a ton of shots. Not sure about Porter. I don’t know. I just think it’s crazy PORTLAND lost at home to them. Brooks gonna get fired soon.

I could be wrong, but I thought Porter a year or two ago was shooting basically just as good as beal was until beal and wall decided they didnt like porter and stopped giving him the ball.

If the Blazers miss the playoffs by a game, or miss hca by a game that wizards game might be the one we look back on and think what in the world were they doing...

Who says he is? Wall and Beal?...

He wants to be a bigger part of the offense because he's skilled enough to be. He's barely getting shots there. He'd be fine here.
 
Wall has been garbage this year as well. He is killing one of my fantasy teams right now. Honestly, I wonder if there is something going on with him. Between showing up to Team USA looking like a bum and his terrible play so far, I wouldn't be shocked if he was on a Lamar Odom "diet" over the offseason.

Keep this selfish prick the hell away from Portland. Hell no on Jimmy
Exactly. I can't understand anyone wanting to lose valuable players like CJ for Butler. 2 teams in 2 years where he has become a disgruntled cancer. No fucking thanks. It has happened enough to see a pattern.
 
GS is finally pulling away late. The couple other games I saw them play it seemed the same way, just put you away in the 4th Q. Very similar to our game last night.
 
I really hate that I agree with The @HCP but I think it's kind of strange how many times new threads are started when they are already being talked about in other threads and/or could just as easily be added to those threads.

I don't even really try to follow them all. I pick a couple and just sit on those. Try to dink around with the game thread and if a big topic comes up but the rest can run their course.

Why would you "hate" agreeing with the forum MVP son?
 
No he didnt...
I dont see anything wrong with what Jordan did, maybe he lacked awareness that his team mate was also there, but thats pretty much how all great rebounders play, they go after the ball.
With his Left hand.
