[RR7]

What is Casey talking about here? I saw there was some ESPN Blazer trade thing on insider, could it be that?

yes, it is.

Potential trade targets

Ty Lawson

Lance Stephenson

Joe Johnson


Pelton mentions them specifically for $$ reasons.

 

[riverman]

god would I hate Lance Stephenson on our team...sheesh

 

[illmatic99]

OH Jeez. Porzingis fouls Gordon Hayward, up 3. On a 3pt shot.

They would all get bought out

I was thinking the other day that Hayward is the perfect Stotts player..he'd thrive in Portland

 

[PDXFonz]

Glad to see Draymond back out there.

 

[PDXFonz]

Who ever ends up playing the Warriors in the first round could end up being David vs Goliath.

 

[MickZagger]

Who would you give up for Olynyk?

Kaman?

Seriously though, probably nothing that they would accept as a 1-for-1 transaction, but he would probably be a pretty good fit here. However, I haven't watched enough Celtic basketball to have a reasonable opinion.

Just look at his advanced stats.

They're good, no doubt. Efficient. Good defensive metrics. Solid, unspectacular. I'm not sure if his ceiling is high enough to want to give up the potential of Vonleh or Meyers.

Basically, I don't think we're at the stage where Olynyk is the right addition to our team...yet.

Meh, he's a better prospect than both.

Perhaps. He's certainly a more finished product than either at the moment. But what would it require for Boston to give him up, and how much better would he make the team at the moment? I imagine the acquisition cost would be too great to justify the incremental improvement at this stage in the team's development.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

No way I would give up Vonleh for Olynyk. I would probably do Meyers though.

But is there any chance that Boston would take Leonard alone in exchange for Olynyk? Absolutely not.

Very true.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Congrats to sacramento for sliding into playoff position, tonight.

Simmons thinks Olynyk should make the AS team.

 

[Natebishop3]

Simmons thinks Olynyk should make the AS team.

Boston fan thinks Boston player should make AS team...... Shocking.

Looks like Steve Kerr returns tonight. Good for Goldenstate, they were really struggling without him.

 

[BBert]

Hilarious if they go on a loosing streak.

 

[BonesJones]

Looks like Robin Lopez threw a punch at Chris Paul...

Picking up where Kaman left off.

God I hope he connected to the side of that little bitches head. Paul is the dirtiest and whiniest the player in the league.

Probably mistook him for a mascot...it's those new Clippers Jerseys

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

RoLo bitch slapped CP3 like a G.

It's about fucking time.

[BBert]

OMG this makes me happy. It's about time.

Robin you're my favorite ex Blazer.

 

[ripcityboy]

LaMarcus Aldridge, who signed with the Spurs this past offseason as an unrestricted free agent, said he was very close to joining the Suns instead, Paul Coro of The Arizona Republicwrites. “It was very close,” said Aldridge. “It came down to the final minute, to the final day of me trying to make a decision of coming here or going to San Antonio. They [Phoenix] made a strong case. They knew who I wanted to play with and some things I valued and they made those things happen. I couldn’t not take them seriously because they did everything that I was asking at the time. It came down, neck and neck, between Phoenix and San Antonio. It wasn’t overplayed. That was accurate.”
