If YOU know this, don't you think other GMs know this and would be fools to trade for him?
It only takes one. I don't want to be the one.

I like to keep you on your toesYou're missing a verb.
Think of him as like a British Sports Car: fantastic when it works, which is 1% of the time.

How bout we just enjoy what we have while we have it? His value to the team extends beyond the minutes on court - as somebody on Reddit pointed out, he was constantly talking on D last night, telling everyone where to go. Maybe he's our Udonis Haslem. You don't trade those players.If someone is close to a ring, they might be willing to roll the dice that RWIII will stay healthy for the season.
There's no reason for us to roll those dice.
Udonis had no value at the end and Miami was a playoff team. We are rebuilding and we need assets.How bout we just enjoy what we have while we have it?

Why do you think he doesn’t get us any value? He’s a really good player when he’s healthy. He’s just not healthy very much.If he’s not expensive and really doesn’t get you much in return I’d gamble and keep him. Honestly my 2nd favorite player on the Blazers right now

That's the point. What exactly are the Blazers gonna get back in return for him?If YOU know this, don't you think other GMs know this and would be fools to trade for him?

If other teams are throwing 1+ firsts at us, 'nothing' sucks, I agree.If he gets hurt, they get nothing.

But I'm imagining RWIII's valuation is somewhere in the Steven Adams zone, which is a couple of seconds. Is a couple of seconds 'that' valuable to our rebuild?
I wonder what exactly is his medical diagnosis with his knees. Is this a B-Roy scenario?
Exactly, when healthy I love his game. If somehow the Docs say his knees are magically all healed up and good to go going forward, then the only scenario you trade him is for a King's ransom. If the medicals are what you'd expect from a guy with persistent knee issues dating back to college, then baby his minutes profiling him for a trade to a contender at the deadline hopefully with whatever value coming back being in draft capitol.I wonder what exactly is his medical diagnosis with his knees.

It won't work - They're a bad 3pt shooting team already and have two bigs that don't space the floor hurts even the has been working for them latelyIf they intend on trading Grant, I say keep all 3 centers unless there is a trade we can't refuse. I still want to see a twin-tower lineup for a few minutes each game. Maybe it will suck but maybe it will work. But a lineup of Clingan, DA, Deni, Sharpe, and Banton would be kind of fun (or possibly "funny") to watch. Assuming Banton keeps his 3-point shooting at a decent percentage.
Yes, if that's what he wants.I’m on the keep Timelord boat. Let him retire a Blazer.
Certainly not if we just sell them again...If other teams are throwing 1+ firsts at us, 'nothing' sucks, I agree.

Yeah totally agree. It's only a mistake to hold onto Timelord if we leave a deal with a decent FRP on the table. If it's just 2nds or a heavily protected pick or such then let's just keep him.If other teams are throwing 1+ firsts at us, 'nothing' sucks, I agree.

If healthy, RWIII is a much better player than Adams. DPOY caliber defender. And he has shown to be an extremely efficient scorer for us.
They've been thrown out there a few times, but I can see OKC offering up a 1st, just because they have so many, but beyond that, it seems very unlikely many other teams would or even have picks they can trade.But let's be specific here, because the devil is in the details. Do you honestly think a team is throwing a non vapor-ware first round pick at the Blazers for Rob with his injury history?
I don't care about the seconds that much--I just don't. If we get at least an okay first, I'll pack his bag. Short of that? Keep him around and/or extend him and rehab his value.
Saying that OKC will give up a first because they've got so many is like saying Donald Trump will give to charity because he's so rich. There's a reason OKC has so many firsts...They've been thrown out there a few times, but I can see OKC offering up a 1st, just because they have so many, but beyond that, it seems very unlikely many other teams would or even have picks they can trade.
