Trade CJ McCollum to New Orleans

[GDiama]

I don't know man. It feels comedy really. Was he sworn enemy of Olshey and he just wants to get rid of everything Olshey did? Even Nance?

 

[blazerkor]

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

They probably put Larry in NOLA's huge TPE.

 

[Chris Craig]

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

No one

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Is that the name of a Russian car?

I thought it was the chick who played Frenchie in "Grease".

What's comedic is the nearly all guard roster. I don't get it.

 

[Natebishop3]

This team won’t be shit until the Vulcans are gone.

 

[THE HCP]

You cant blame Dame for taking the money and keeping his home here, can ya? He still has time to pitch his tent somewhere else down the road.
He's always sated he like a ship but it wont define him if he doesnt.
The plan now is to build around Dame for a few years anyway.

He’s as good as gone after these trades. Wait til tomorrow when his boy Nurk is headed out of town.

 

[Blazinaway]

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?

I think they have other 1st rdrs thiis yr

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Hopefully, the car or the girl can play PF.

 

[B-Roy]

People thought I was crazy when I suggested we may build around youth, trying to accelerate their development with Dame around. Well ….

 

[Natebishop3]

Again made the trade before the deadline. I don’t get it.

 

[AldoTrapani]

So I got my answer.

This is our headliner we got for Cj, Norm, Roco and Nance… lmao

 

[B-Roy]

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

Um who cares? It’s better we trot out 5 guards. In case you haven’t noticed, we’re tanking.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Maybe just maybe there's a third team involved and that's the work that still needs to be done.

God, I hope so.....

 

[Chris Craig]

So basically we made two other teams better and took a shit

 

[maxiep]

How does this trade work? Is there a TPE coming our way?

 

[AldoTrapani]

He’s as good as gone after these trades. Wait til tomorrow when his boy Nurk is headed out of town.

Thank you!! I would actually respect him more if he took that stance. Because at this point why the hell would he ever resign for this shit

 

[blazerkor]

Again made the trade before the deadline. I don’t get it.

We've got more work to do but seriously Nurk will be traded today or tomorrow and Dame will probably be traded in the off season... I can't imagine that he won't demand a trade after this absolute joke of a fucking shit show.

 

[TBpup]

Yes.

Now of 17 players on our roster, 13 are guards

For the love of a YMCA pick up game.....Holy crap!

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

That is one way to make it work. Still need to waive a Blazer. Zeller?

 

[Portland2014]

What if we give the max to DeAndre Ayton and the Suns won't match?

lol, i know, won't happen...

 

[Shaboid]

Don't we still need to get our pick back from Chicago if we are tanking?

 

[B-Roy]

Don't we still need to get our pick back from Chicago if we are tanking?

no

 

[blazerkor]

How does this trade work? Is there a TPE coming our way?

Yeah, we'll get a big TPE probably the size of Larry's contract. I sincerely doubt we use it. Just imagine that someone offers Ant over 20M and we don't match.

 

[B-Roy]

If nance is going out, it seems like Grahm or Valincuanas have to be coming back, that doesn't seem good.

nance going into the tpe

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

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

Look what we got for everyone else. They will dump Dame for role players and expiring contracts to sell the team.

FWIW:

 

[B-Roy]

NAW, Johnson and Hart will play SF.

 

[Cugel]

NOP won that one. Cronin is 0-2. Pels gave up really nothing other than a pick for Nance and CJ.

 

[Hoopguru]

He’s as good as gone after these trades. Wait til tomorrow when his boy Nurk is headed out of town.

Im think he signed off on these recent moves and more to come. Im sure Joe, Dame & Chauncey know what the plan is for at least 2-3 years.

 

[Chris Craig]

Why? It won't be worth as much.

 

[TBpup]

13 players on the Blazers roster are now 6'6" and under. No problem with rebuilding. We have the Portland City Rec League title on lockdown!
