I like the idea of Winslow because his best position is with the ball in his hands but he can guard wings.
 
guessing things will be quite for us for the next month until trade comes along that Neil likes
It certainly takes a lot of pressure off Neil now that he has been able to sign Powell before trading CJ. I was wrong thinking Powell wouldn't do it. I still think CJ will be gone by the start of the season.
 
Cj, nurkic and as many 1st rounders it takes
That's not the way sing and trades work. The facilitating team doesn't get equal value for their player... not even close. So CJ and filler would be plenty but I'm not sure if adding DJJ would match Kawhi's first year of a supermax... it should be the same as Dame's which would mean it would work perfectly. Dame, Norm, Kawhi, RoCo and Nurk would be a championship level starting lineup... we would have a weak bench but Dame and Kawhi might attract a good amount of ring chasers for the min.
 
What wings are left besides OPJ and Winslow?
 
Well, Neil did well today. We still have to wait and see if he'll do the right thing and trade CJ and picks for someone who actually fits this roster. If we roll into the season with the roster that Dame said wasn't good enough in his presser, I'll still be pretty mad at Neil but again today was a win for Neil and he needs to take them where he can get them.
 
For DeRozan to get more than MLE from another team he would need to be sign and traded. The money has dried up. I don't know that I prefer him over CJ though even though he fits better at SF. It is close. Would you trade CJ for him?

I would but it’s not that big of an upgrade. But it is one.

He was saying he doesn't care about money right now. But if you sign him, what do you do?

CJ/Roco to Philly
Siakam to Portland
Simmons to Toronto

Dame
Norm
DeRozan
Siakam
Nurk

Is that a championship team?

I meant sign and trade with him. I don't think we are getting him for tax MLE even if he doesn't care about money. If that is the case he will go to Philly or PHX or something. But to answer your question, it may not be championship but it is Western Finals at least.

That's if the Clippers wanted to faciliate that trade in the first place. They don't have to and might call Kawhis bluff. If he says he only wants to play for Portland they could tell him to go sign for the taxpayer mle then. Kawhi wouldn't do that. Gotta entice them to play ball. Cj and filler might not do that.

Hard cap.
 
He's hurt Poker Pussy. No way i trade that much for someone who's not gonna be available for most of next year. Chemistry matters.
Enjoy purgatory.

Chemistry would be fine with Kawhi, a top 5 nba player when healthy. You gotta make a move when an opportunity presents itself for a small market team.

You really just like getting bounced in the playoffs. Good for you. Most of us want a legimitate contender.
