You have 100 million dollars, why would you even think about taking the subway?

Well good point... but still have to wait for a driver and traffic and crowds to go anywhere. In OKC I could drive my own Ferrari whenever and wherever I want.

Having $100 million (before tax/retirement/etc) isn't even a ton of money in NYC. Many thousands of people would have more. I mean of course its still a very nice - but it wouldn't' be extravagant lifestyle as in OKC. Plus have to pay a ton of city/state taxes. I'd say restaurants would be the #1 NYC advantage though.

I wonder if the Knicks would be interested in this if Hartenstein bails (along with, possibly, Precious Achiuwa):

Now, I'm not saying they'd give up BOTH picks, especially given Williams's knee - in fact, he might fail a physical, but we know that Thibs isn't going to play any rookie, so they're almost certainly ready to offload one of them.

Hard to imagine NY giving up both. It's hard for me to see them giving up 1 of them. I would think something closer to a swap, 24 for 34 or 40.
Also, I doubt they want their C rotation to be 2 oft injured guys in Robinson and RWIII

Hey, just so long as they stagger their injuries...
I'm not giving up ANY second rounders- that's where all the fun players are! How about we swap #14 for ALL their picks? 24, 25 and 38?

The picks would need to go from Portland to NY.

I don't understand why so many Blazer fans think an injured Timelord is going to be in demand.

If he comes back and plays for the Blazers, performing great up to the trade deadline maybe his value goes up. Until then - there isn't a team in the league giving up assets for him.

If I had $100 million I'd rather have a badass mansion in OKC then a dinky NYC apartment with crowded subways.

Having lived in NY and not loved it enough to stay there, and having been to OKC and enjoying it more than I expected, I still think you are out of your mind if you choose OKC over NYC. If you have $100m your apartment is not going to be dinky and NYC is a lovely lovely place to live in if you can afford it. Night life, culture, people to meet, access to other places, food - it's just so much nicer. Also, while it can get cold there, it is not OKC cold in the winter and that's a good thing.

Like every place in the world, there are pros and cons - and while there are many places I would choose in the world over NYC, OKC is not one of them, as much nicer as I found it compared to my expectations were.

His regular season stats are good, but in the playoffs (10 games) they played him fewer than 19 mpg. They played rookie Cason Wallace more!

Right now, Chicago's goal is to make it to the playoffs. RS is what matters at the moment

LA, GS, Miami all have great weather in the winter and tons of great areas to live so I'd rank those at the top. I enjoy NYC for trips but would hate living there no matter how much I made. Yeah maybe some people are different, but its not like we've seen NY pull in great free agents the last few decades.

Not that different from the Clippers in the Sterling days. Sometimes it's more than the location...

lol
did no one learn anything from the damage Poeltl caused in Toronto? Non-athletic gun shy Centers are not worth lottery picks, let alone 25m.

Or to be picked in the top 10 of the lotto (Clingan)

My problem with Jerami is he just doesn't seem to have the fire to play tough and win. If I see that I'm certain others do. He's serviceable yes but I just don't see him as a difference maker.

Fir those wanting to draft Cody Williams-> Grant is his best comparable

I don't see how Kessler or Duop makes any meaningful difference the next 4 years.

Who said anything about Duop?

Kessler is a better prospect than Clingan is. Id love to have him in Portland (if the price is reasonable)
