Any chance Deng could agree to a sign and trade in the offseason that could bring Irving and Deng to Portland involving Batum & wes?

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.

Why would Cleveland trade Irving? That's the only thing they've gotten right in years.

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.

That is an excellent point. Thibs did the same thing in Boston and outside of an aging Garnett and a very young Rando, they were incredible at defense with very marginal defensive players for the most part.

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.

YES

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.

No, I'm not sold on a guy who is clearly not leading in Cleveland. From what I've read, people are fairly disappointed in his ability to make those around him better. Look at their roster. That team should be much better than what they are. Injuries aside, he's a truly gifted player but I question his mental toughness. He seems immature and selfish.

How am I not relaxed? How can you determine this from your house?

The fact that you took offense to an obvious joke and continued to criticize him even after he told you it was a joke.... It would appear that you're not relaxed.

I sharpen my points like Bill Cartwright sharpened his elbows.

This. Stotts for some odd reason does not tailor his pick and roll defense to the ballhandler. We have IMO to give the handlers different looks. We cannot simply try to fight over the pick every time because A. The defender doesn't get through the pick at a good enough percentage and B. quicker guards get right into the lane when we do...

IMO that's just silly. Dame has been way healthier than Kyrie and has never missed a game. Dame is a better shooter and passer while Kyrie is a much better ballhandler. IMO Dame is quicker, and has WAY more of a clutch gene.

Dame>Kyrie

I think I posted a realistic trade to consider and you trolled my thread because you either thought you were funny (about as funny as rubbing icy hot on your balls) or because you had nothing better to do. Thanks for trying to contribute I guess.

"Realistic," lol...
 
I'v seen some bad trade threads before but this is just horrible. Lets mortgage our future to make us better now. Except it wouldn't even make us better now.

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.

Dude, that's not funny. Maxiep bent the shit out of the needle on my sarcasm detector, and because the warranty had expired, I had to send the fucking thing all the way back to the manufacturer, and it ain't cheap sending packages to and from Bangladesh...

Nope. Kyrie is a better player then Dame but i'v got no faith he will ever improve his D. He is going to be like James Harden on D, and while Dame sucks at D you can tell that he cares and the effort is there so he will eventually get to at least the level where we don't need to hide him. Also I think Dame has the ability to run a team and be a leader better then Kyrie but Kyrie will outshine him on the court and in the medias eye.

It wasn't a funny one to me and it's ok for me to say that. Not sure how any of that has anything to do with one being relaxed. So every time you bring up an issue to someone you have you aren't relaxed? How does that approach work for you?
 
This thread just just gave us all troll aids

Cmese, this idea is so mind bogglingly stupid, so completely and dumbfoundingly moronic, so all encompassing in its ineptitude, so stupefyingly ridiculous and idiotic, not to mention just plain dumb, that people actually fell for your troll. Think about that for awhile. That's how much of a motorcycle crash victim your posts come across as coming from, that people actually think you are serious

I guess I just don't easily take offense to things :dunno:

That is a good summary. I doubt very much that the OP would really make that trade either. I assume he was just bored and wanted to generate an irritating discussion. Conley is an excellent PG and TA was a excellent defender. But the bottom line is the Blazer management would be the laughing stock of the league if they made that trade.
 
Skimmed over this thread but I did not see one poster point out the fact that the OP made this post the day after the tread deadline had passed. If that's not trolling I don't know what is. New Forum Rule: No "Trade Suggestion Posts" until after the NBA Finals. Thank you.

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.

Batum becomes our third scorer.

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.

Yes I can see all your posts.

Only reason to consider dealing Dame is because he is not a two way player, you get more of the same from Irving.

I've asked this numerous times. Maybe since a more even-keeled poster made the request, it will now be taken seriously. :)
