The 2022 Trade Idea Thread, now with more urgency!

[illmatic99]

Because they are still trying to loop Grant in.

They put out an article on ESPN.com where woj essentially has a by line.

LOL...what a bunch of asshats at ESPN. Do you notice an omission? And do you notice the arbitrary "30 game" minimum? Dame has played 29 games

 

[maxiep]

if we end up with Simmons, I'd take back every one of my posts criticizing Cronin.

It's just not realistic.

I would, too. It would explain the haste to make deals.

 

[B-Roy]

I'm confused. How are we getting Simmons?

[Strenuus]

Blazers won't get Ben Simmons

Stop worrying

Phew good.

 

[illmatic99]

just speculation after amick posted an article posturing how we could facilitate a harden to Philly deal in FA by absorbing Simmons in with our capspace.

don't buy it.

 

[LayneStaley]

Can someone please post our depth chart please, I’m confused.

don't buy it.

....so....for free?

 

[LayneStaley]

Dame
Ant/NAW/Keon
Little/Hart/Winslow
Watford/GB3
Nurk

Next years lineup looks great. Shoulda held out for Hayes.

We better get lucky in the lottery.

Hmm, interesting. I was wondering about that angle. We are not great at getting FA's to come here and clearly, some teams did not want CJs's contract back in a trade. So maybe dumping him for cap space is a slightly better option to find a forward.

 

[RR7]

Can someone please post our depth chart please, I’m confused.

Currently?

Anfernee/Smith Jr.
Bledsoe/NAW/Keon
Hart/Brown III
Winslow/Watford
Nurkic/

It's not good!

Oh, I forgot about McLemore. But probably doesn't matter!

 

[LayneStaley]

Nurk doesn’t fit with the stable of gazelles we are trading for. It seems we are going the athletic freak route.

And Zeller

 

[LayneStaley]

When is it our turn to trade our junk for a good player?

 

[LayneStaley]

And Zeller

Isn’t Zeller a FA this offseason though?

 

[BoomChakaLaka]

Stand corrected. You are right! UFA 2022

Update: No longer a Trailblazer!

what a week! So far???

 

[LayneStaley]

We gotta do something with Ben and Bledsoe before Thursday right? Even if it’s just for a second rounders?

Ben should have suitors for teams looking for a cheap shooter off the bench.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Can the Blazers combine Bledsoe with the 21 mil TPE? To make that 42 mil coming back? Theoretically?

No.

 

[BoomChakaLaka]

What is McLemore costing us?

I like the guy! Great attitude and is instant offense off the bench. Don’t we want a vet like this sitting on our bench?

He's a FA. I don't think we have his bird rights.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

What about Elleby; we didn't trade him did we?

 

[SlyPokerCat]

Why couldn't we have just done the CJ trade and not the Clippers trade?

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

What about Elleby; we didn't trade him did we?

Heck no! We still have a CJ!

No rush on Bledsoe. Yes, I think we should trade Ben if we can get a second rounder.
