Exclusive 2019 Trade Deadline Thread (3 Viewers)

[Scalma]

My favorite AD destination not on the preferred list is Portland, even if I can’t make a fully functional argument for the Pels to trade him there.
But let’s do it anyway.

Start with C.J. McCollum and Jusuf Nurkic. Throw in picks from now until eternity and whoever else to take back Solomon Hill, but try to keep Zach Collins out of it. The Pels get to stay relevant, which isn’t enough of a return, but at least it’s something.

My interest in this has less to do with New Orleans and more to do with the idea of Damian Lillard and Anthony Davis becoming a way-more-fun Stockton-and-Malone in one of the NBA’s most viable small markets. Rip City’s laid back vibe would also seem to be an ideal match for AD’s understated temperament.

This is a shoot your shot trade. If AD isn’t feeling Portland long-term, turn around and flip him for the Celtics package this summer.

There’s nothing stopping any team not on AD’s list from making this kind of move. Just a guess, but count on at least one mystery team suddenly emerging between now and Thursday.

Dammit you ruined my riddle.

 

[TBpup]

Can Turtles score?

Yes they can!

~Mrs HCP

 

[BBert]

I'm going to answer the riddle anyway!

Here's a riddle:

What do Julius Randle, Nikola Mirotic, and Turtles have in common?

The answer WAS: Not the Trail Blazers

(Except for my boy Layman. He's a keeper.)

Just curious. Are you adding a wing to the deck lid?

None of them look good in red and black?

But not when they're scared.....

No. The tape was for the key. Used trunk lid and new rear body panel. Tape key for ease of opening instead of fishing in pocket

Stopped reading here - ya lost me.

 

[tester551]

Has there been anyone else confirm this trade? I only saw the one guy from the LA media stating it's going to happen..... I haven't seen anything else, so I'm growing skeptical of the source.

 

[oldmangrouch]

But it’s also hard to have this debate when we have no idea what the plan is with the roster in the next 24 hours.

Thanks, I needed a good chuckle.

Layman > Jordan. How is this a debate?

[riverman]

I don't think it is...

on second thought...you're right!

 

[riverman]

Getting our butt kicked last night by the Heat was probably a good setup for the trade deadline...fans will want to see changes even more after a loss like that

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

 

[hoopsjock]

Whoa, game changer.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

The only thing traded in this deal that I know about is "second-round pick" and "cash considerations".

 

[hoopsjock]

I'm still not a fan of giving up 1st round picks for salary dumps but I would accept this one:

Kings get Evan Turner, Caleb Swanigan, 2019 1st

Blazers get Kosta Koufos and Skal Labissiere

Blazers get all the way under the tax line, make some salary issues this summer less complicated to make re-signing guys like Layman, Curry, and Hood more realistic, and clear the rotation up a bit.

 

[TBpup]

That's an Olshey needle mover right there!

 

[Eastoff]

Less than 24 hours

 

[ripcityboy]

Less than 24 hours

Jeez. Is it already almost time? Fuck man. I feel like if nothing happens we should all go out and get a half rack of our favorite beer.

Would the Kings be okay with using up most of the rest of their cap space for Turner and a 1st?

 

[hoopsjock]

No clue, I don't know what kind of offers they've been getting. They most certainly won't get a 1st without taking on salary next year but unlike the Bulls I haven't heard that they aren't willing to.

[wizenheimer]

I wonder who for....Ryan Anderson?

 

[TBpup]

But Tyler played last night. He can't be traded.
