If you really want to start over then you trade CJ, Norm, Larry, RoCo and Nurk by February 10th for the best combo of first rounders, young talent and expiring contracts you can get. I don't think you have a quick rebuild in mind so Simmons wouldn't be a target but after you traded those guys for the right picks and players you would play Dame at the end of the season after sitting him so he could show his offensive dominance and then trade him before or on draft night for a high pick and a young all star or potential star.
Yep, fuck Neil Olshey. That motherfucker said it wasn't the roster and then proceeded to put together this fucking roster. Don't get me wrong if Dame and CJ were healthy we would be right around .500 but obviously that's not what we want at all.
How do we get Simmons? We would have to give up lots of picks and as bad as we’re playing, do we want to do that. Simmons is flawed. If we were in Top 6 right now, I’d say yeah let’s go. But now that we’re a lotto team, I’d rather hold onto the picks, see who we get in the draft.
Someone else figured it out. If Chicago is interested and they should be, you trade RoCo to the Bulls for DJJ and our pick back, then you trade CJ, DJJ, our 2023 first top four protected, our 2025 top four protected and how many ever top four protected swaps after this year for Simmons... you don't even need filler in that trade if you don't want it.
You mean like 41 wins?
Yes, that would be exactly 41 wins with this roster. However if you could have predicted Neil's departure then maybe the roster would change and the wins would go up. With Dame's injury situation though, I don't think any roster changes we make will put us too far above your prediction but maybe a few wins more. The funny thing is lately I can't decide if I want more wins or losses for the team when the season ends. Don't get me wrong, every game I want a win but that's the immediate. When I look at things in the long term they seem to shift and that makes me conflicted when considering if at the end of the season I want a ton more wins which might not be realistic or to have a better chance at a difference maker like we saw in Mobley tonight.
Simons is only the future if Dame isn't for the next five or six years. If Dame is functioning on a high level during that time, Ant should be moved on to a place where he can flourish and we should get what we can for him. In that case Nas is the future.
He is the perfect "TANK COMMANDER"

Hey, you forgot me
Germany baby. 4.30 a.m. when Blazers games starts. But this year my excitement is extremely low for this team, although i love my Blazers
No, I moved out of Crimea when the Russians took over and now live in Spokane.
Do you miss the caviar there?
Our house is two blocks away from Instituto Allende! It’s beautiful here however we may move once again - to Spain!
I miss my community garden that had a view of a lake and the Black Sea and Bear Mountain and a lot birds in the nearby forests. Last night I dreamed I got back there somehow and I wanted to see what had changed in my garden in the last 7 1/2 years.
