They both need the ball in similar spots on the floor, are more effective at C, and you need shooting from that 4 spot at least SOME of the time in this offense and we dont have any right now

Yeah, agreed. I'd pretty much talked myself out of it by the end of my post. They're complimentary in terms of one is a strong offensive player and the other a defensive stud, but I agree, they'd get in each other's way too much.

Like I said, it didn't work well in PHI playing Okafor and Noel together last year, and Monroe is just an older, more expensive, no upside version of Okafor.

thats why I like the idea of getting noel cause lineups like this

Dame
CJ
Hark
Aminu
Noel

make me think we could be a top 10 defensive team within the dame & cj window
 
Id be happy with:

Noel
Vucevic
Nurkic
Dieng
Lopez

Surely we could land one of those guys.

I'd want Bogut, and I'd see if we could somehow get Powell too

It would be perfect if Aminu could knock down an open shot.

Paul Millsap would be great in that line up today, but he's too old and too expensive to be a long term solution.

Of course, Paul George would be absolutely perfect, but I don't see any way of getting him.

Yeah totally agree would love to have either of those players but very unlikely maybe vonleh takes that spot in yrs 3+? idk maybe layman! we're really hurting for front-court talent any way you slice it.

If Paul George becomes available, a package of CJ, Vonleh, Leonard, and 1st round picks seems like it would be very attractive.

POR Gets: Paul George, Nerlens Noel

IND Gets: CJ McCollum, Noah Vonleh, '17 POR 1st, '19 POR 1st, Right to swap w/ POR 2020

PHI Gets: Allen Crabbe, '18 CLE 1st

I think Indiana would surely listen. That trade would work because offloading Crabbe for Noel negates CJs poison pill.

And imagine the switch potential:

Lillard
George
Harkless
Aminu
Noel

If we could get George without giving up CJ, I'd do anything, even if it meant Harkless, Vonleh, 3 first round picks, and giving them the right to swap in two other drafts

Yeah right now my list is pretty much Nurkic and Noel, with everyone else as plan B. I feel like those are the two that are most likely to be traded, and I can't think of a team with assets that needs a post presence more than Portland. It's been almost a year and a half with this team now. There shouldn't be anymore evaluation left. Olshey has to be getting close to pulling the trigger imo.

I believe it would take CJ and harkless just to start the conversation realistically, plus Vonleh and pick or two just for george

One of our assets might look attractive to Philadelphia (Crabbe) but not entirely sure we have assets that will look attractive to Nuggets. They don't need guards and they don't need centers.

They need a SF because Gallinari probably won't stick around. They need shooting. They could possibly trade Gallinari for a 1st or two, then trade for Crabbe to take Gallinari's place and pair him with Wilson Chandler at SF.

Good because Vonleh is neither

Guyyyys..Nurkic is the answer. Also fits Olsheys model of finding younger players that just need to be given more faith/playing time.

Speaking of faith and playing time, I'd love to see more Vonleh and Layman. I really want Vonleh to be our future at PF and I think his confidence looks better this season and he just needs the opportunuty. We aren't winning a title this year, why not groom out players with the most talent/potential?

He may be the answer but he's young, talented, and on good contract and Denver likes him, so we would have to give up a lot to get him - realistically what are you going to offer?

Something like Vonleh and one or two firsts.

I would try to get Chandler as well.

Harkless, Vonleh, Leonard, and a '18 for Chandler and Nurkic

Or

Crabbe/Turner, Vonleh, Leonard and our '17 and '18 picks (Maybe even a '19 right to swap picks) for Nurkic and Chandler.

Lillard / CJ
CJ / Turner (or Crabbe)
Harkless / Chandler
Aminu / Davis
Nurkic / Plumlee / Ezeli
 
Yesterday, the Blazer Fans LA group was supposed to have a quick meet and greet with Meyers Leonard. For some reason he never came over despite a confirmation with our Clippers broker from Blazers staff like an hour before. He seemed a bit distant from the rest of the guys in shootaround. wonder if he knows he's getting traded. :MARIS61:

Unless he's upset one of Turner, Ezeli or Quarterman might get traded, it's a little soon for him to be worrying about that. He can't be traded for over a month. So, anything he's hearing now are just the same unfounded runors that are always being bandided about by the click bait rumor farm sites.

The trade restriction on those three players lifts on 12/15. The trade restriction on Meyers, as well as Crabbe and Harkless lifts on 1/15 and the trade restriction on C.J. lifts on 1/27, but he is still subject to the poison pill provision.

He's been trash this whole season. His mind can't be in a good place. Understandable.

Why did he even agree to this in the first place?

I think when you do group sales sometimes some of the players are obligated to take a photo with the group for a meet and greet, all part of the fan experience. I know when Mike Dunleavy comes to Portland, Jesuit always arranges a group buy/meet and greet with him.

I can think of 41 million reasons.

I get that money can't buy happiness, but I know if I was in my mid-20s and new myself, my family and any future offspring were set for life, I'd find it hard to get too upset about anything.

Don't get me wrong, I'd play my ass off to earn that money, but I'd be grateful for every penny. Especially, coming from an impoverished background, like Meyers.

I think he meant "why did he agree to the meet and greet?"

Not "why did he agree to the contract?"
 
I have a feeling we will end up trading with Dallas for Andrew Bogut. Portland needs to start looking for veteran help. Not young guys. The Blazers are supposed to be in the win now mode.
