In theory I would want to switch out Trent with Simons. That being said, we need to get value for Trent if Neil has made the determination that he is keeping CJ. Unless Neil is planning on spending 90M per season on three guards. I do not think Gary can play anything more than spot minutes at SF, especially with the size of Dame and CJ. It would make us the shortest starting 1-3 in the league and that's not good. If Neil plans on trading CJ on draft day and keeping Trent then yeah we better include Simons but then they'd probably want a pick as well.

If Neil wanted to trade CJ, we’d have Harden.

I can't be sure that we would have Harden but I know for sure that Neil doesn't want to trade CJ. All of my CJ trade ideas are fantasy but they are fantasies that make sense. Neil's overvaule and loyalty to CJ is the thing that is crazy. I just want Olshey fired!!!

Our gm is garbage with no balls. Just like the coach stotts

They're a really rough combination to deal with. The shitty thing is that Neil can probably buy himself another season or two of first or second round exits without major moves, just by firing Terry this off season. I hope I'm wrong and if we don't make a serious run at a championship they both get canned.

Yes. CJ is better than Oladipo. Blazers certainly could have had Harden.

You seem to have forgotten that the Nets traded a 2021 1st round draft pick, a 2022 1st round draft pick, a 2023 1st round draft pick, a 2024 1st round draft pick, a 2025 1st round draft pick, a 2026 1st round draft pick and a 2027 1st round draft pick to Houston.

"three first round draft picks (2022, 2024 and 2026) and four first round pick swaps (2021, 2023, 2025 and 2027)"

Not true. Just 4 picks and 4 swaps. A swap is not a pick.
 


I like that he's upfront about his feelings and trade request. Says it's kinda strange playing without knowing where he'll live in 2-3 days from now.

So he’s going to Boston?

Good.
Gordon has some unique offensive skills that would be nice - but I don't see him as a difference maker. Every time I watch him play, I'm astounded how bad his defense is. It's near Melo level...
 
I wish Boston and Orlando would just get that trade over with so we can get on with it
 
I would like a three-way trade where we end up with Smart, Orlando gets picks and our young talent (Trent or Simons, pick, Hood, Boston pick), and Gordon goes to Boston.
 
Sounds like Houston has a shot as well with all their picks.
I am convinced that Orlando wants Little included and that is an issue for Neil......and quite frankly for me too.

Blazers will stay pat in the trading deadline

Likely that's true, although they could pursue a lesser deal that maintains their open roster spot and then look to fill the open spot in the buyout market. If the Blazers are ready to move on from Zach Collins, I could see them doing a trade with Cleveland for Javale McGee. That would beef up their rotation of bigs in case Nurk continues to be slow coming back from his injuries. It would also open up more money for the buyout market.

what has "convinced" you of that?

if anything, I'd be convinced that the hang-up wasn't players but the pick
 
Simons and Little still out or waiting to be traded?
 
I'm convince losers like olshey always finish last. His excuse will be nas and simons are the next coming of nash and amare stoudamire i couldn't trade that for lebron even if they offered.

I am basing it on what I would want if I am Orlando. (while looking at their roster)
Being a local kid I am sure they are well aware of the "potential' Nassir has.
This team is starting over...again and Little would fit nicely with Cole Anthony, Issac, and Fultz.

I'd rather hold onto Nas, but I think the rotation if we got Smart and Ojeleye for Nas, Ant, and Hood would be a contender.

Lillard/Smart
CJ/Trent
Jones/Melo
Covington/Ojeleye
Nurkic/Kanter

That 10 man rotation would be much improved and balanced. Obviously we'd still have some of the same limits (don't play Kanter and Melo) but we'd be pretty flexible for next season (keep one of Jones or Trent depending on fit/price probably and kick the tires on Z Collins).

it worked with Roco and Carmelo, just keep posting till it comes true. Probably old post about wanting Pippen to “if you dream it will happen” well in our case usually after their prime
 
Stotts wouldn't know what to do with Aaron Gordon if he got him. I'd be excited to get him but it wouldn't change a damn thing this season.

Would Carmelo or Enes or Lillard play better elsewhere? Why wouldn’t Stotts know what to do with him vs other players?
