No shorts or deal coming soon but not the greatest rumor

[Cugel]

Oh no. This is gonna be bad

 

[BigGameDamian]

The 3rd pick it is involved, it’s not a needle mover and he’s an aging player?

 

[HailBlazers]

Bro I don’t want to sound like I’m beating around the bush but I may have come across someone involved with something while at a business lunch today and they might have told us that something is in the works. I don’t want to cause too much excitement but it’s definitely possible that somebody could be going somewhere sometime.

Get your Domino's outta here bro.

DeRozan?

DeRozan has been discussed quite a bit here.

 

[Predator]

Considering that we supposedly have the set bar at Bridges / Siakam for #3, the only player that remotely makes sense is AD, but I have NO clue why the Lakers would do that.

Christian Wood - no
Julius Randle - no
John Collins - lol
Jimmy Butler - Maybe?

I've discussed him quite a bit but never for #3

 

[BigGameDamian]

Please tell me that it’s not Ben Simmons?

 

[Kano John]

Ha Blazer fans at their finest in this thread. Whining when they have no idea who the target is or what we are offering.

Or if it's even a legitimate rumor -which I'm guessing it's not.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Huh?

No way we give the 3 for DeRozan right?

I wouldn’t think so

 

[Mediocre Man]

Please tell me that it’s not Ben Simmons?

His name came up. Not who this is

 

[wizenheimer]

keep in mind, MM said it was no deal yet and was just a rumor. I'd advise people not to go batshit until something actually happens

Great guess. Although technically, every rumor is a legit rumor. But it’s someone who would know such discussions

Great point. It’s always a thought process when deciding to post stuff. I hate getting slammed for info , but I’d want to hear it

 

[Cugel]

Well then why start a fucking thread? A whole thread to say there is a rumor?

 

[B-Roy]

Not a difference maker.
Old.
#3 Involved.
Not discussed in this trade cycle.

I mean, it depends on what "not a difference maker" means, but I'd guess it'd have to be Kawhi or AD with your definition of "difference maker" being that he should play more than half the season.

I guess it could be LeBron LOL.

no worries...I would imagine anybody who may have a little inside info needs to be real circumspect about posting it. Don't want to betray confidences and Portland is a small fishbowl go what's posted here could easily find it's way back to sources

I've always wondered how true is the 'saying' about the NBA that when you hear a rumor, it's always when it's already dead

 

[blazerfan11]

Yes sir

The 3rd pick for an older player who doesn't move the needle? Does that make sense to anyone?

 

[glazeduck]

I've always wondered how true is the 'saying' about the NBA that when you hear a rumor, it's always when it's already dead

I asked a GM about that one time. His response was "most of the time that's how it works".

Small sample size, grain of salt, etc. but part of the game is flooding the news cycle with true stuff that's dead and fake stuff that was never alive to keep everyone off balance...

 

[illmatic99]

OG is not that old.

 

[blazedanugz]

I’m gonna guess this is Paul George. I think he moves the needle short term but

 

[Predator]

Kristaps?

For 3... ouch

 

[Blazinaway]

Turner again,? Turner and 7 for 3 and Nurk

 

[Cugel]

Joe will get fleeced in order to please Dame

 

[BigGameDamian]

How tall is this player?

 

[oldfisherman]

Defensive rebounding big... Steve Adams + sweetener?

 

[Blazinaway]

Please say its not Gobert!

 

[Hoopguru]

Wiggins....

 

[Blazinaway]

Also could be a sign and trade for Draymond?

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Huh? Starting a thread about a trade rumor but can't talk about the rumor? Huh?
