No shorts or deal coming soon but not the greatest rumor

[Ha Seung-Boumtje-Boumjte]

3-way

Deroza, 2024 portland pick, and Wendell Carter Jr to portland
#11 and Gary Harris to Chicago
Ant, Nas, and #3 to Orlando

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I’m gonna guess this is Paul George.

Me too. But I sincerely hope not.

 

[glazeduck]

Me too. But I sincerely hope not.

There's part of me that's hoping for it, purely for the "good shot/bad shot" jokes.

 

[Blazinaway]

Me too. But I sincerely hope not.

Yeah, Georgee not good enough for 3, Clips would have to add and salary matching could be a problem

 

[THE HCP]

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

Mods delete.

You’re too new to question MM. Guys had inside info since back in the day. Learn the history of this forum, then post.

 

[Mediocre Man]

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

Hearing very few things in real time, and knowing it’s out there. I’d say it’s getting better, but still lags

 

[Mediocre Man]

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

Let me be clear.. I don’t think it moves the needle

 

[BigGameDamian]

PG does only have 2 years left on his contract.

Have any of these guys made all nba or all star in the past?

[blazedanugz]

im going with jaylen brown

I’d that doesn’t move the needle…I don’t know what does lol

 

[Mediocre Man]

Not the name

Yes

 

[blazedanugz]

Yes

okay I got it…Gordon Hayward!

 

[Blazinaway]

It couldn't be kawhi could it?

 

[Cugel]

Middleton

 

[B-Roy]

Let me be clear.. I don’t think it moves the needle

Because of the on-court play or other factors?

 

[B-Roy]

Oh god. It's Towns or Gobert isn't it?

 

[Cugel]

Learn the history of the forum??

 

[Tince]

Towns isn't old.

I joined this forum the same year you did. You can't see that? Or are you illiterate?

 

[e_blazer]

In order to establish a record on this rumor, MM should PM it to @SlyPokerDog to hold until draft day.

 

[B-Roy]

Towns isn't old.

Hard to tell since this is MM's definition. Like "not a difference maker" is MM's determination as well. Can totally see AD being "not a difference maker" because he misses half the season.

I don’t think we are close enough, and this player isn’t young enough

 

[BigGameDamian]

Karl Anthony Towns?

 

[Hoopguru]

Its Wiggins...the rumor is all over the Bay Area

 

[Cugel]

Its Wiggins...the rumor is all over the Bay Area

I could see that and don’t like it one bit. Not for 3 and not to them

 

[B-Roy]

Any links?

Wiggins never made all-nba.

 

[Cugel]

He was an all star

good point. MM might not believe Bridges is a difference maker. Or Siakam

I would want more coming back for either if the 3 is going out but I could see a lot of ways they could make a difference; maybe a big difference

I suppose we could also have varying definitions of 'difference'. Does any trade that doesn't vault Portland into a contender fail the difference-maker test?
