I have an irrational love for Harry Giles. We already stole one big from Sacramento, let’s do it again.

Two problems with that one:

1) He'll get hurt most likely which will make our depth worse.

2) Sacramento didn't pick up his 4th year option so I don't think we'd have his bird rights and he'd be an unrestriced free agent in the off season.

yeah but we need bigs now and I doubt there’d be a crazy market for him in the summer.

I feel like saying he’ll get hurt most likely seems true no matter what Big we get lol...

What I'm hearing is that the Blazers interest in Drummond is strictly as a 3rd team facilitator for specific teams that want him but don't necessarily have the right contracts (I read into it as expirings) but have someone Portland would want.

This is why I was trying to make a trade between the Hornets, Pistons, and Blazers work yesterday.

I was wondering if that might be the case when our name came up in discussion, but both Charlotte and Atlanta have expirings that could work, so I dunno who else it could be.

Although Boston was rumored as well, and they don't have any big expirings. Same with Dallas

You have inside information?
 
I basically said what Quick retweeted this week about Detroit a year or so ago and a bunch of people poopooed it. Their owner doesn't want to go through a rebuild but everyone else in their front office has been trying to talk him into it for a year and a half but he just flat out refuses. However, recently he may be starting to crack a little as it's painfully obvious to everyone but him that it's not working.
 
I don't mean to repeat myself but here is what I'd do if I was Neil. I would get on the phone with Cleveland and offer them Whiteside and a 2nd rounder for Love. We can play Love as a small ball 5. Then in early February offer CJ and Baze to Philly for Harris and Richardson. I think we'd be just as good running a small ball team as we are right now running whatever it is that we run. Then when Nurk comes back (and I for one think he'll come back ready to play because he never relied on athleticism to be effective) we will have a rotation of Dame, Richardson, Harris, Love, Nurk, Melo, Zach, and Ant. I think that's a pretty competitive rotation on both ends of the floor come playoff time.

With this Philly loses two good starters to get one that is older as well. Their cap is maxed out anyway so it will just cause them trouble so i doubt they would discuss it.

Are you suggesting we get the Spurs 1st round pick top 10 protected and 2 all stars for expirings and a hurt 3rd year player?
 
Something built around

Drummond to boston
Whiteside and bazemore to detroit
Hayward, kanter and snell to portland.

Sprinkle in picks and b level prospects as needed
 
As noted at the start of trade season, the Memphis Grizzlies (13-21) are expected to trade Andre Iguodala.

"We will trade him, period," an executive with the team said. "We've gone far enough into the structure of deals with more than one team to say that [confidently]."

In other words, if teams like the Los Angeles Lakers (26-7) or Los Angeles Clippers (24-11) are hoping to get Iguodala on the buyout market, that's likely not going to happen.

Finally, Love to the Portland Trail Blazers still makes sense to multiple executives. Whether that translates to what the Cleveland Cavaliers and Blazers believe remains to be seen.

refresh my memory on this, but after the 1st of the year, how often to trades happen outside of that final week before the deadline?

IIRC, they are pretty rare, but that last week can be crazy, especially the last 3 days. I wonder if it will change much without the all-star break being before the deadline now

From what I've read from Boston reporters, they aren't trading Hayward and despite what it looks like from the outside they're actually happy with their bigs this year.

This is the kind of move I think the Blazers are hoping for though (without Kanter lol). Maybe Boston changes their mind? The only question mark from Portland in a deal like this is what happens if Hayward opts out this summer and leaves? Hopefully that wouldn't happen.

The most logical trade partner for Memphis is Dallas. They have Courtney Lee's expiring saving the Grizzlies a few million dollars and GS's 2nd rounder this year which will be in the 30's.

Depending on the specifics of the deal...probably not a huge deal if he does opt out. We'd be losing whiteside anyways, so itd be expiring for expiring in that case.
Thiugh, with the lack of free agency $$ this offseason, and more the next, I'd think he might opt in and try his luck on 2021 perhaps.
 
Just get Glenn Robinson mane. Start the recruitment early. A lot easier to sell a guy on the culture after he’s experienced it.
 
Is this also the ten day contract thread? Because it looks like Mika is headed to the raptors.

Great! So he can kill the Blazers tomorrow while people just excuse it as him being more talented than anyone on the Blazers.
