Game Thread GAME# 26: BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - DECEMBER 11, 2017 - MONDAY, 7:30 PM (PST), NBCSNW

I'm convinced that we have the cheapest owner in the league. While the Warriors are putting elite drummers on the floor during halftime, we're putting dog tricks from birthday parties for kids on there, and then paying our dancers $50/game.

How do you get to being so cheap with that much money?

 

[GrandJury]

Now that Wooten Kid from Oregon is nice

If you were paying $18M a year to Evan Turner, you'd understand. (Didn't even mention concession prices).

 

[TBpup]

It doesn't matter if we put good players around CJ, he doesn't pass to them.

Have you really not figured that out yet?

@Strenuus ...you beat me to it. Was just going to say the same thing. How do you hold Paul George under 12 ppg? Trade him to Portland and have him play with CJ. He'd become the league's most expensive decoy.

 

[KingSpeed]

Lmao, spot on.

Dude when you think Strenuus is spot on, you've lost all perspective.

 

[Strenuus]

Dude, immeditate PR - have a section in the audience be the woo-teng clan!

 

[TBpup]

Lol....KS is posting about perspective. I'll drink to that.

Hmmm so Turner is 25 ppg scorer on another team?

 

[rotary111]

Brandon Ingram and filler.

 

[Cippy91]

Damnit. the bucks would be a bad fit then for CJ. Ugh.

I don’t see the bucks giving up Middleton to be honest.

 

[Strenuus]

Dude when you think Strenuus is spot on, you've lost all perspective.

Ummmmmmm...... seriously? Do you -really- want to get in a conversation about perspective right now?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

We can't get Ben Wallace to Portland because we have nothing to trade for a player of that never except CJ.

I would gladly trade CJ to CLE for the BKN pick and I'd hope CJ could win a ring with LeBron.

CJ for Crowder, Frye, Shump, and BKN pick would be interesting. Especially if we could offload Turner somewhere with a pick attached.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Put good players around CJ and Dame. Don't trade them. Or we could do like we did with Clyde and Sheed and send them to play with other players and win a title. You don't trade to Sheed, you try to get Ben Wallace to Portland.

How do you suggest we get these so-called "good" players? Trading trash for treasure sure seems like a long shot. Free agency is right the fuck out. Draft picks might be helpful eventually, but that's not going to happen overnight. What a plan.

 

[BonesJones]

Dude when you think Strenuus is spot on, you've lost all perspective.

You talking about perspective is the funniest thing I've heard all year.

I'd say the same thing, that's how you know it's spot on. Strenuus is a smart fan, so I don't know what you're trying to say.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Dude when you think Strenuus is spot on, you've lost all perspective.

The hell? Perspective? You routinely compare the Warriors to that of the Blazers.

Well....there's your comparison. Minus their 3 best players, of course.

 

[Strenuus]

Lol....KS is posting about perspective. I'll drink to that.

Best part about this is KS liked this thinking you were saying something nice to him.

 

[HailBlazers]

That happens so many times a game. When he gets the ball, players either stop moving or their cuts are lethargic because they know they aren't getting the ball.

The first 10 or so games of the season our ball movement was great. Face a little adversity and it's back to hero ball. Stotts needs to man up and hold his players accountable.

 

[KingSpeed]

CJ for Crowder, Frye, Shump, and BKN pick would be interesting. Especially if we could offload Turner somewhere with a pick attached.

I'd prefer to see CJ win a ring on the Blazers, not on some other team which is what you guys are proposing in these hypothetical deals

 

[Strenuus]

Ooooh, that's enticing with the pick.

 

[KingSpeed]

Ooooh, that's enticing with the pick.

Enticing to Cleveland

 

[BonesJones]

CJ for Crowder, Frye, Shump, and BKN pick would be interesting. Especially if we could offload Turner somewhere with a pick attached.

I'd say get CLE's 2022 pick with that package to use to offload Turner.

If our pick became Top 3 from either being bad or luck, and BKNs is Top 5, we could have two of Doncic/Bagley/Porter. Unlikely, but intriguing. Either way we'd add great young talent.

 

[BonesJones]

Enticing to Cleveland

Which is why it's a good trade idea.

Then tell him to pass to other teammates, because he's part of the reason we aren't close to one.

one of the other reasons is because that team you call trash is the favorite to win it every year until Durant/Curry/Green all leave the team or retire or get injured.

In other words - plan for the years down the road... trading CJ would help with that.

I'm sorry, perspective. My apologies....

 

[BrunoSOC]

Still have time to comeback, Lillard is about to have his season high in this game.

 

[BonesJones]

Well I hate to break it to you but he's not. Only way Dame wins a ring is if we trade CJ. It's reality. I was one of the last people to jump on the trade CJ bandwagon too.

 

[KingSpeed]

For THEM. If CJ is going to win a ring, wouldn't your prefer to see him do it in Portland?

 

[Strenuus]

Enticing to Cleveland

GOOD.

 

[Strenuus]

Same.

 

[Darkwebs]

The Blazers' defense is so bad, they got scored on during halftime.

 

[BonesJones]

If our pick became Top 3 from either being bad or luck, and BKNs is Top 5, we could have two of Doncic/Bagley/Porter. Unlikely, but intriguing. Either way we'd add great young talent.

And this group would peak at the right time.
