Dame, and CJ are terrible at throwing lobs, so it's a pass for me.

I don't know how it could happen, but I think Jordan would fit well with Cleveland.

The Lakers could trade Lopez and Randle and a pick for him..wouldn't have to move..just change jerseys
 
I could be wrong, but I think this is all talk just to drive up the asking price to trade him to Cleveland.

He's a beast, but so was Nurkic before the weak Stotts style hit him. Jordan will wear that dress a lot more here.

I know you're making a joke, but it's clearly not true about Nurk.

Den - 7.5 pts @ 45.8%, 5.9 reb, 1.1 ast
Por - 14.5 pts @ 48.2%, 8.9 reb, 2.1 ast

Looking at his Per 36 stats, his scoring is up 4 points in Portland, and everything else is minutely down.

None of that says that Nurkic was a beast in Denver, and has been poor in Portland.

Again, I know you're just making a joke, but I want to nip that stereotype in the bud before it starts.

It’ll confirm one thing to me; Olshey lucked into Nurkic and really is a moron.

Yeah, because Olshey has never acquired a player that was off the radar and turned out to be a good fit.

Who? Nurk is pretty much the only one worth anything and I wouldn’t even say he was off the radar.

I guess Napier.

RoLo and Plumlee were two guys that weren't highly thought of and ended up being really good fits.

Plumlee, Davis, Aminu, Nurkic, Napier.

Even Vonleh has been decent, not great, but decent. He has performed in the minutes he's gotten, he just doesn't get that many minutes because we're deep at the 4.

Turner is his only real strike out.

What realistic players could we include in a trade?

Nurk + Turner seems most logical.

If it were just a trade of those two, I'd do that trade every day of the week.
 
They only way I take Jordan is if LA takes Turner and Myers with Nurk. They aren’t gonna do that and we aren’t adding another HORRIBLE contract. Jordan will be a Cav.

Nurkic was a beast late last season, had a summer of Stotts-system indoctrination to unlearn his Euro style, and returned with a weaker inside game.

He got worse in almost all per-36 columns from his Portland games of last season. Except a tiny (0.7, not 4.0) increase in points, caused by the Stotts-induced worsening in FGA (which lowered FG%).

Meyers was much more of an inside player when he first arrived as well. A year in to Stotts system and he turned into Myle who only shot '3's.
 
Nurkic finished January averaging 13.6 points, 9.5 rebounds on over 50% shooting and also shot 70% from the line. This correlated with his usage % going down. He’s a Steven Adams type player who’s forced into more responsibility offensively because our supporting cast is trash.

Maybe let him develop.

Or panic and get glorified Ed Davis on the back end of his career. Great idea. Also pay him more.

Fuck this entire discussion. If Olshey does this, it’d be a disaster, and you can bet we’d get worse, not better.

Your mean-spirited sarcasm always ends every discussion.
 
Neil Olshey's trade and free agency ideas give me AIDS-cancer.

DeAndre Jordan? FML.

If it were up to him we’d have spencer hawes and Chandler Parsons on our payroll right now.

It’s hilarious that there was an option even worse than Evan Turner and Olshey was ready to dive in.
 
Trade Dame. He's the most overrated player in the league. Fred Van Fleet went thru him like nothing. Often times Dame isn't even one of the best 10 guys on the floor. Volume shooter. Hits open 3's makes him look great. Gets paid 27 mil a year while everyone else does all the hard work to free him up for the launch. 108th in FGA. 4th in the league in shot attempts. That's what PA is feeding us.

What is this? Stotts had turned Nurk into Nurf?

A scenario:

Milwaukee wants DeAndre. Clippers don’t want Jabari because they don’t want to pay him. We do though.

View attachment 18244

We also add our first round pick and send it to the Clippers. Clippers only take on Aminus contract which they could easily move if they wanted to in the summer. They cut Layman and Davis is an expiring.

Only if we turn around and re-sign Davis if they are cutting him.

I hope I missed the green faunt. Either that or your stats are stale and you didn't watch the game last night when they showed how much he has improved in January.
