[SheedSoNasty]

Oh shit, here we go...

 

[Dom McBlazer]

FUUUUUUCCCCKKKKKKK THAT!

 

[Labinot41]

Go for it Neil! Best time to trade CJ

 

[blazedanugz]

Have to get him if this is true

 

[Tince]

If you have been wanting to get rid fo CJ, you should LOVE this rumor because he would certainly be apart of it!

 

[Labinot41]

We have everything they want, we have all our future first round picks except 2021, we have many young players and CJ to match the contract

 

[Mr. Robot]

im thinking why not

it cant get any worse, can it... if he have to include nurk in the deal, we have collins to take his spot, but if we can keep nurk, thatd be amazing... go for it olshey, its now or never, lets go all-in

[RR7]

Please?!

 

[Stevenson]

Right, just what we need. A ball hog who will destroy the culture and the future. And win bupkis. Just great.

 

[illmatic99]

Oh jesus

 

[DDolla]

Yes sir.... let’s do it. Imagine all the dunk Nurk can get and all the wide open looks for Dame and CJ

 

[illmatic99]

CJ/ Zach/ Ant and a butt load of picks?

what future exactly

dame lillard is 30 yo, hes not getting any younger... if you can land harden, you go for it

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Strangely, the Rockets have NOT added CJ to their list.

 

[riverman]

Harden found out how many strip clubs there are in Portland

 

[riverman]

They want Collins and Trent or Nas ...book it

 

[Tince]

Have to think Trent would be required from Houston in a deal.

If you thought we played a lot of ISO ball before, I can't wait for this trade to happen!

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

CJ/ Zach/ Ant and a butt load of picks?

This the one, but i wouldnt spend more than one 1st.... and probably keep ant...

CJ/Zach and a 1st

 

[RR7]

Cj, Zach, Trent, picks. Sure. Get it done. Please.

 

[Tince]

Cj, Zach, Trent, picks. Sure. Get it done. Please.

I think this is the trade from Houston's end.

We manage to get even worse defensively, but would our offense improve enough to make up for it?

 

[illmatic99]

this is prolly just a leverage play. We aint in consideration

 

[blazerkor]

So here is my thinking, if we can get Harden without giving up Nurk and obviously Dame we do it. We see how it goes with Dame, Harden and Nurk... maybe it's a Portland dynasty. If Harden is completely incompatible with our culture, Dame and/or both then we move him for pieces that actually fit around Dame.

Sure, if we can use two or three balls at a time.

Agreed. If he wants out, or we want out after this season, he will still have plenty of value. And with no bug free agents, and lots of teams with space, we run the risk of losing guys like Trent and Zach anyways

 

[Stevenson]

Um, why?

 

[blazerkor]

Sure, if we can use two or three balls at a time.

Like I said, we see if it works and if it doesn't we move him for pieces that fit better than what we currently have. Whatever we trade, as long as we're keeping Dame and Nurk, will not be as valuable immediately as Harden will be in a potential flip. I would trade CJ, Zach, Gary and picks for what the Nets are offering or for what Philly is offering. So we can turn around and get that if it doesn't work.

The the plan is, mortgage the future to fix a chemistry problem, with the most toxic player in the league.

NO! NO! And NO!
