They lack a dynamic scorer and a perimeter threat outside of Conley, Portland would still have LA and they would still have Williams, Batum and McCollum who can shoot the ball from downtown. Memphis biggest weaknesses do not exist here.

If Ricky Rubio is dropping 20 on your PG and George Hill is going for over 30 WTF is Steph Curry, Goran Dragic, Eric Bledsoe, Russell Westbrook, Tony Parker or Chris Paul going to do.

This is a star league man. Conley is not a star. Allen is so old, he'll be out of the league in two or three years. You're giving up an All-Star for, essentially, two role players.

Also, you're assuming that Dame will not improve at defense. He's only halfway through his second year in the league. In 1.5 seasons he has already won the ROY and been selected to an All-Star team. Show some faith. Conley was drafted in 2007 with Oden. He's in his seventh season. You're giving up on Lillard way too early in his career as a defender.

Go compare Conley in his second season to Lillard in his second season. It's a joke. Not even close.

Every single one of the guys you listed have been in the league for quite a while (except Rubio). Of course they're going to beat up a guy who hasn't even been in the league a full two years.

This is not OregonLive. Please stop spamming this Forum. Trade proposals are the worst threads because there are simply waay too many variables behind the scenes, just because it works in the trade machine does not make it realistic in the slightest.

3 pages from your post history on your profile. You do not like the influx of bullshit so you quit who are you Jamal Crawford? If your such a great poster and this site is in such bad shape then you not posting is not helping a damn thing. Make it better or take your keyboard and go home.

Wow, I didn't realize there was such a thing as a post history. You can look up all my posts? And Jamal Crawford was instant offense, kinda' like me. As for taking my keyboard and going home.......I am a freelance employee, so my schedule is very loose, I already am home.
 
I don't think we need to trade Lillard but I do think we should explore trades for Wes Mathews or Nick Batum to bring in a 3rd star. What would it take to get Trevor Ariza and John Wall?

Our starting 5 scores 1.15 pts per possession and gives up 1.07 (+0.08)
Memphis starting 5 scores 1.05 per and gives up 1.02 (+0.03)
Indiana's starting 5 scores 1.09 per and gives up 0.96 (+0.13)
Miami starting 5 scores 1.15 per and gives up 1.09 (+0.06)
San Antonios Starting 5 Scores 0.92 and gives up 0.94 (-0.02)
LA Clippers starting 5 scores 1.14 and gives up 1.05 (+0.09)

So looking at the top teams in the league with have the 3rd best ratio, and the best ratio team is the best defensive team but is also a good offensive team.

NEP Culture

Not sure what you meant about that but I'm from the NEP too and if you're not from there, what do you know about the "culture"... Especially since the NEP is very gentrified and full of White people now. But this has nothing to do with the OP so...

Lamarcus isn't a dynamic scorer without a legit... legit 2nd scoring threat on the floor. In the lineup you propose Conley averages 18ppg but is only an average deep shooter to spread the floor with. Lopez literally becomes our 3rd scorer.

He's joking man... John constantly crows about being from NEP.

Some of you guys really need to get your sarcasm meters checked out. This is the second time I've seen someone take an obvious joke the wrong way this morning.

Think again.

What are you talking about, mayne? I think Lebron would really help this team out.
 
Better question, would you trade Dame for Kyrie Irving?

There were rumblings that Irving wants out of Cleveland. I'm not saying I would do it, because I'm not really sold on Irving, but I'm curious what others think.

I think you could pair Damion up with either Kyrie Irving or John Wall and I would not hesitate to explore trades with either Mathews or\ and Batum.

Thanks for that. :) It should improve your posts.
 
The Bulls have the #2 defense in the league, starting 32 year old Boozer, 33 year old Hinrich, and 34 year old Dunleavy.

Hinrich used to be good, but PGs light him up regularly these days.

Lillard will improve, but you also need a good scheme that works with shitty defenders.

Not sold on Irving? I'm not sold on him playing with Dame but saying your not sold on him is a little weird. Even though he has been injured, he still is a franchise player.

By the title you gave this thread you clearly understood your trade idea was going to spin up some people. Getting upset that people think this trade idea is far from credible, logical or even good seems a little odd to me.

Anyone can see your post history. It's on your profile page.

Your schedule isn't all you have that's loose.

Signal to noise ratio. Too much noise? Up the signal. That means post more.
