As long as it's a good front court player, I'll be happy. I'm looking down the salary list on hoops hype and thinking Jarrett Allen would be a nice get. If it's Terry Rozier I will be very sad.

Oubre Jr. , good buddies with Dame. The local media has already puffed him up as an all around terrific player, a move the needle addition, the coveted SF of this new era. We don't have to trade Anfernee or anything, maybe Nassir and the #23 + change
 
Not a needle mover and old then big deal
 
IF this rumor is true that your alluding too sounds like something to appease Dame but not mortgage the future either so sounds like a Siakam , DeMar type of player to me. I am guessing they are going to try still for a homerun but content doing this type of move and hopefully keep Dame content and in Portland.

to the person who said Ayton -- Suns insider said the Blazers are not even interested in him anymore after that bad contract he signed.

???

Hints so far have been:
- older player (Ayton is 24)
- not a player we've kicked around in this cycle (he's been discussed extensively)
- not a needle-mover (argue this one if you want but he was still a key contributor on a championship-caliber team and was the first pick of the draft just a couple years ago...)
 
DeMar I'm good with unless we give them 3 or something.

Ayton might feel similar.

I probably wouldn't acquire either if I were GM but they shouldn't cost too much.

You're aiming way too high. If it's not a needle mover to the guy banging the "trade Dame" drum the loudest, it's not going to be an All-NBA level talent... Think 7th or 8th man...

Without looking at his contract situation, I'll guess Terrance Ross for absolutely no reason whatsoever other than he's older, local, and seemingly constantly available...

Yeah I'd be good with him too. Does nothing to get us to contention but I'll be happy if we just don't take a step away from contention.

if its not superstar, we need two players, hopefully trail blazers are aware of that

But we’ve been linked to Siakum. He said it wasn’t a player that we’ve already been linked to. It’s a new player.
 
It's AD lol. MM said Pro Dame crowd would be happy. Sharpe may be in the package though.

I get some things. I get some half things. I can’t share at this time, but if I see a leak on Twitter I’ll confirm it’s what I heard or not. Pro Dame crowd that believes we are really close should be happy

Sorry for being cryptic

It’s done or they’re talking?
 
I tend to think of him as a self-important blowhard but Marang all but guaranteed 23 will be traded for a vet...

I think you're all shooting way too high, this will be an arguably quality bench guy, nothing more...

EDIT: Oof, never mind... don't love hearing a non-needle mover for #3...

if #3 isn't going out, those don't necessarily seem bad to me unless Portland is paying a lot. Middleton and Jrue have too big of salaries. DeRozan and Randle have manageable salaries and would fit well. Randle & Grant at forwards are actually a decent match
