We're charged for everything in this country. Everything is expensive. I'm glad @Scalma posted it because I wanted to read and didn't want to pay.

So are we trust me. But I don't want to start a battle of "my country has more taxes". I will never complain about our conditions in Switzerland.

My point is that journalism is key in a democracy and by paying for it we help to keep it alive. But it's a struggle also here. Last year my newspaper got abandonned for a "web first strategy". Why? Not enough revenue. And what happens now? Article are free online and the one that are not (premiums) are spread around. That's maybe why i am a bit annoyed by it.

Interesting article. A couple observations.

First, a team this wildly inconsistent trying to sell "continuity" as a strategy? That is somewhere between "facepalm" and "hold your head and weep."

Second, Turner blurts out a hard truth. A team that is supposedly trying to win now should not be drafting "prospects" instead of players. Does Olshey actually have a consistent plan?

OKC has been very inconsistent, so has GS, Houston, SA. Being 4th in the West out of 15, well, a lot of other teams would like to be in our supposedly-inconsistent shoes.
 
I'm confused, the Bulls are actually trying to win this season?

If they were tanking wouldn't they keep Melo?

1st rounder to WA.
Gets them out of a LOT of salary and improves their chemistry, even if we throw in Biggie.

I just don't see us being good trade partners with Washington. If they want out of Porter's contract the Kings would be their best play because they could send back expirings, young players, and get them out of the tax. Trading Beal for CJ would be awesome for us but I don't know why they'd do that.

We'd have to send back a pick somehow to make it happen.
 
Just saw a report that the Blazers might be after Tristan Thompson? Not sure how he would fit in Portland.

Their players don't like each other, they could really use some good locker room guys, which CJ and our guys are.

I think he work fine if this happens Leonard days in Portland probably is gone due to he probably in the trade. It makes us tougher on the 2nd unit especially on the boards.
 
Yeah, Thompson is at 17 million this year,18 next. Not a lot there that really makes sense. Leonard and harkless for Thompson and hood saves us ~4 million dollars next season. I'm not super excited about splitting 2 expiring salaries into 1 much larger(individually) one, however.

Leonard and Harkless for Thompson

Turner and a 1st for Lin and Prince



Dame, CJ, Prince, Aminu, Nurk

Lin, Curry, Layman, Collins, Thompson

Simons, Trent, Baldwin, Stauskas, Swanigan
 
Also,the Thompson "rumor" is from amico last week, where it was just him speculating on suitors after hearing other teams were calling. He mentions us and okc. They have Adam's and noel. Neither of us would likely be interested. Seems like awful speculation
 
My very unlikely 3 trade deadline scenario...

Trade #1

Portland Receives
Robert Covington

Minnesota Recieves
Al Farouq Aminu + Anfernee Simons + 2019 First

------------------------------------------
Trade #2

Portland Receives
Nemanja Bjelica + 2019 2nd

Sacramento Receives
Maurice Harkless + 2021 First

-----------------------------------------
Trade #3

Portland Receives
Kent Bazemore + Tyler Dorsey

Atlanta Recieves
Evan Turner + Trent Jr. + Future 2nd

----------------------------------------

Starters
Dame
CJ
Covington
Bjelica
Nurkic

Rotation
Bazemore
Curry
Collins
Layman

Deep Bench
Leonard
Stauskas
Swanigan
Baldwin
Dorsey

Sounds on brand for Amico.

Hate to derail this thread.

This is the natural order of things. People want their info FAST.

It's why Trump calls them "The Failing NY Times" .

Readership is going down across the board for all newspapers.

MFs have Twitter.

God Covington would be so perfect for the way the Blazers currently play.

This isn't a bad effort at all although giving up both our rookies and 2 future 1sts is tough.

Side note: I was reading a Sacramento forum the other day and any trade that involved Bjelica several people would mention some sort of handshake agreement between Divac and Bjelica that he wouldn't be traded. It's the reason he backed out of his deal with Philly and signed with the Kings instead. I don't know if it's true or if it really matters even if they did have a deal since it's not binding but it wouldn't surprise me if Divac did honor some sort of agreement.
 
Kings won’t be trading Bjelica, he is very important for how they play and they do not have a replacement (Bagley will be center).

Covington would be an amazing catch for us but Wolves won’t be looking to trade him either. Simons is still 2-3 years away and our pick won’t be that great this year. Covington is on a very good contract and you can plug him into any team now and he will perform.

The good: he would bring many of the same things that Ed Davis did.
The bad: he gives us Ed Davis production at a *much* higher salary.
The ugly: isn't he hooking up with a Kardasian? How much would it cost to fumigate the Moda after every game? :devilwink:
 
Trade 1 is a huge overpay imo. Essentially cap savings and two 1st round picks for Convington. Perfect player for us, sure, but not for that.
 
Bleacher Report's Zach Buckley had an article about "Blockbuster Deals that Would Blow Up the NBA Trade Deadline" and there was a Blazer one:

Cavs get Turner, Simons, and Swanigan

Blazers get Love and Nwaba
