If there was a way to get Butler and Kawhi... forget Love.... that team's defense would be insane. You could start Aminu or Collins and have a smothering defense.

Shit, I’d settle for Butler. Maybe we could get a fourway goin?

Portland: Jimmy Butler

LAL: Kawhi Leonard

Minnesota: Lonzo Ball, Moe Harkless, Anfernee Simons

San Antonio: Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, 2021 & 2023 Laker first round draft picks

Yeah, it's all Olshey's fault if the other teams won't do that!

No GM wants to come across as desperate, nor do their owners want them too.
We have enough time to see where other teams are at, and what they may be interested in addressing.
Im not worried I see our team taking another step in the right direction.

Bjelica is a horrible Defender, if he can't hit 3s, he is pretty useless

1. he's not THAT terrible
2. he CAN hit threes
3. he's a very good passer - good enough to play a point-PF role

So we get Jimmy Butler for Harkless and Simons?

I DIDN'T KNOW WHO JAMES NUNALLY WAS BUT NOW I WANT HIM ON THE BLAZERS MORE THAN ANYTHING

Not sure if the blazers have the cheddar to sign him though.

I'd prefer Harkless and ET. Or ET and Meyers.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Let's sign another guard who can't shoot who looked good playing for Brad Stevens!!!!!

That's a horrible haul for Minnesota. SA isn't selling Kawhi for that cheap.

A minimum salary option: Jahlil Okafor.

Neil has had interest in the past, and also loves to pickup former lotto picks with hopes of rebuilding their development.

I'd take him over PapaG.

I wonder what happened to his career? I know he had injuries, but is he done?

We're already at 15 without Papa G. Who yall cutting

Still time to make a trade.

Pachulia to the Pistons. I’m guessing we won’t be hearing about his dirty plays now that he’s not on the NBA’s Globetrotters.

 

[Scalma]

Michael Beasley is still out there that’s who we should be going after.

As for the full roster, I’m still not convinced they guaranteed Layman’s contract.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Neil's waiting on Carmelo Anthony he's just being tight lipped about it.

Why would Carmelo sign here instead of LA or Houston?

Beasley isn't ideal for me.

 

[santeesioux]

He's still on the Blunder and can be traded, right? I'm not sure why they'd want our garbage, but if we offered Aminu or Hark I could see it, idk why we'd do that though.

Aminu AND Hark isn't enough to match the salary coming back.

Bolstering the bench:

Isaiah Thomas on a one year prove-yourself contract.

I just threw up while reading your post. We don't need a small guard who can't play defense.

And a huge ego.

Unless they renegotiated a delay, since he was on the roster as of July 1, Layman's contract is guaranteed.

Don't we have that guy in Seth Curry already?

If we bolster the bench, it better not be ANOTHER guard.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Beasley isn't ideal for me.

That's like saying "botulism isn't ideal for me"

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Mbah a Moute would have been perfect.

Who's left? David Nwaba? James Ennis III? What happened with James Nunally?
