Trade CJ McCollum to New Orleans

[AldoTrapani]

Not disagreeing that the trades are shit but to use shit trades to once again bash Lillard is bullshit. It's weird how you look for any reason to bitch about the guy.

Im just saying if Dame stays on with this shit it tells you everything u need to know about how he just wants that supermax and not a winning team

 

[illmatic99]

there are no good free agents. Don’t tell me we are actually going after kyrie irving…

Harden?

 

[B-Roy]

Per Woj.

We couldn’t even get the fake laker first to hedge against the NO pick? Christ

 

[B-Roy]

Harden?

makes no fucking sense to sign Simons for 20+ then

 

[AldoTrapani]

Lillard isn't the one making this trade. There is no connection in your statements.

Well we’ll see if he stays on with this shit. If he does he just cares about the super max and not being on a winning team

 

[South East]

This makes the other trade of roco and Powell even more a head scratcher as they didn’t need it to get below the tax line.

 

[blazedanugz]

I’d rather have this pick than two shitty firsts…
Do we really think the pels make the playoffs?

 

[Ripcity4life77]

OK -- I am starting to get on board that Cronin might be an idiot not cause he traded CJ but how many guards does this team fucking need and BTW the trade as outlined does not work in the trade machine. Now i realize the ESPN trade machine is limited but says cut 8m from deal to make it work so unless there is a 3rd team involved someone tell me how this gets done as report by Woj

 

[illmatic99]

So now we have two potential lottery picks this draft

i need some clarity on this. I don't think NO can move their pick from this year. It's already committed to MEM between 11-30. How do they then go from that to protecting it 5-14?

 

[B-Roy]

I’m sure we will try and max Ayton and Phoenix will match.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

That's 4-for-3. Who are we waiving? And am I the only one who's never heard of Didi Louzada?

 

[craigehlo]

We dumped one of the worst contracts in the NBA and got draft capitol back without taking long-term garbage? I'm fine with this.

 

[Chris Craig]

Harden?

Not going to happen

 

[blazerkor]

Oh no... they're trying to make Dame demand a trade before the deadline. That has to be what's going on here. Including Larry and not getting back a guy that can play in the post?!?

Trade Dame, trade Nurk and let's just move the fuck on.

 

[maxiep]

Um, did we just add MORE guards to this team?

 

[Chris Craig]

That's 4-for-3. Who are we waiving? And am I the only one who's never heard of Didi Louzada?

Probably Louzada and maybe Satoransky

 

[Chris Craig]

Um, did we just add MORE guards to this team?

Yes.

Now of 17 players on our roster, 13 are guards

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Well we’ll see if he stays on with this shit. If he does he just cares about the super max and not being on a winning team

"If he stays"? Unless he is traded or retires, he has no choice but to stay.

You're going overboard, bro.

That is the lakers pick

 

[maxiep]

At this point, it's time to trade Dame. Get what you can for him.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Probably Louzada and maybe Satoransky

Incoming players can't be waived before the trade is completed. We would have to waive one of the players on our roster in order to complete the deal.

 

[speeds]

That's 4-for-3. Who are we waiving? And am I the only one who's never heard of Didi Louzada?

Almost immediately into his NBA career he had a long term doping suspension. I don't think he's even had a cameo this year.

 

[B-Roy]

Probably Louzada and maybe Satoransky

You can’t waive incoming players. We have to waive someone on our roster first before we make the deal to absorb more players. Likely candidate is Cody Zeller.

 

[illmatic99]

That is the lakers pick

then how is it possible to re-protect it... unless NO did another side deal with MEM to get it back?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I'd be willing to bet that they're adding a 3rd team (or figuring out their followup) to take Bledsoe and the 2 picks, and bringing in Grant or Turner.

Or Wood. I hope so.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

And am I the only one who's never heard of Didi Louzada?

Is that the name of a Russian car?

 

[DDolla]

We are saving money to sign a Free Agent this year… but who? Who is coming to Portland?

 

[Chris Craig]

You can’t waive incoming players. We have to waive someone on our roster first before we make the deal to absorb more players. Likely candidate is Cody Zeller.

That would make sense. Waive one of the four non guards left

 

[Blazinaway]

Possibly using large New Orleans TPE for Nance, and I think we would then get a TPE for the nance part
