Sorting out the SF position

[Sarni]

Draft is the only way we are getting a small forward who could take us to a new level. I don't see anyone available on the market that would make a significant difference. George was that player but we didn't get him.

Miles Bridges or Kevin Knox. Give them two or three years, although Bridges could be ready to contribute sooner.

Dario Saric!

He'll cost a lot but he won't reach his potential in Philly due to the fact that Simmons, and rightfully so, has taken his role. Saric now mostly plays off the ball, he needs the ball. He's a shot-creator.

He is very good and 76ers fans are not too sweet on him actually, so this could be a feasible option. He has mostly played at power forward though.

What about Lillard? He's our PG.

He usually sucks, but Bill Simmons said we should trade CJ for Saric and Fultz.

Link?

That seems to me to be a bit of an over pay (esp, if Fultz reached his full potential.) But it works for Simmons, the Celtics homer.

at this point I dont know if youre joking or not, but I never said we should trade Dame
I said we shouldnt trade him, but Im not opposed to trading CJ, not cause of his defense, but cause hes not a good fit, al least without SF

Crowder has not been playing well in CLE, but was highly coveted by many in here last season. Thomas is still injured. Rose is MIA. I'd pitch CLE some sort of Turner for Crowder+filler. Sell them on Turner being a good EC player, defender, and ball-handler to play alongside LBJ - a jack-of-all-trades to help handle GSW. If needed, up the ante.

LeBron and Turner don't like each other. That's not happening.

Sorry but Cleveland has won 15 of their last 17 games. Crowder and Smith are starting and playing 25-30 mins a night doing it. Why on earth would they even in your wildest fantasies consider this? You got to at least be reasonable in your concepts.

Honestly, I haven't paid attention recently. But I do recall a few weeks back some articles about how bad they've been defensively, and then obviously missing ball-handlers in Thomas/Rose. At the time I knew it was a long-shot, but with - again, at the time - how poorly Crowder had been playing (sub-10 PER), and how it seems like they've always wanted to get rid of Smith and/or Shump (who I'd also take in place of Smith), it didn't seem entirely far-fetched. I don't think it'd be a win for either team, but more a shuffling of the deck with each team getting rid of players that they don't want, with the hopes that the other team's garbage will work better. Also, I originally thought to include Aminu with Turner, as a "defensive" enticement.
But whatevs.

This is a bit early, but thinking about the Draft - I want Blazers to draft this guy with a late first/early second.

We should definitely draft a SF and a SG in the next draft IMHO.
