Some on a Jazz forum were saying POR and Ainge did not come to an agreement on Vanderbilt so it now is all becoming clear. Well, I still say all Joe does is move Hart for two SRPs.

If we truly want to give Dame a shot at a title there is one name out there that would make us title contenders….Anthony Davis. Yep injury prone but when healthy top 10 player in NBA instantly makes you better both offensively and defensively. You could make available anyone but Dame. Do I like it no but he’s one of the very few players in NBA that is a difference maker. You’d be selling out for win now but you could offer Simons, Sharpe and Nurk plus make Chicago pick unprotected, then throw in draft pick. Boom title contender

Prob is Lakers will never trade with us unless Dame is involved.

So Hart to a team who has cap space that can absorb 13 million? for 2 2nd round picks? or does SRP stand for something else?
That seems highly unlikely
 
@Strenuus If you're going to tell someone that they are out of touch with reality you might want to be willing to explain that to them. Just making a shitty comment like that and refusing to clarify is basically trolling. So again, is it that we are devoid of talent and therefore cannot make the team better? Is it that you think this roster is well constructed both how they fit together and how they fit with Chauncey's system? Is it that we shouldn't have a sense of urgency despite Dame's recent dominance?

Why should Joe not make a move and why should we be cool with it if he doesn't?

I know, it should be highly unlikely but I would have thought the trades he made last year to be highly unlikely too. Not a lot of confidence.

I think it's more about coming up with scenarios where we replace 2 starters and a few bench players as reasonable to some, it is setting themselves up for disappointment. the deadline passes, and a chunk in here will say there were moves to be made, because I made them on a trade machine, and bitch and moan for weeks or years about it.

I mean if we're to believe the reports the Heat, Cavs and Knicks all want the guy. None of them have a TPE close to big enough. In fact there isn't a trade exception big enough in the league for your prediction to have any legitimacy.

The reality is that there are always moves to be made, probably not the ones we make on the a trade machine but this roster is a fucking mess. In my opinion with Dame playing at the level he's playing at, Cronin has to do some things even if they are small to clean up the roster construction. Otherwise where is the urgency that Dame called for. Also if he can't get trades done that make his roster make sense it points to ineptitude not unrealistic expectations by fans. No one is calling for him to trade Josh and Nurk with no FRPs for a superstar... that's not realistic but making our role players make sense with the other guys on the team and Chauncey's system doesn't seem like an option that Joe should be able to say "pass" to right now.

You say that like it's a bad thing

Of course portland has to take back something in return as I posted in another thread.

They don't have to if the other team is under the Cap but here are only a couple of those and I don't see either of them wanting Hart.
 
We should flood the NBA offices with calls and emails telling them to postpone the trade deadline a week to give the Blazers more time.

Would it matter? The only good deal Cronin has done so far was to bring in a player that wanted to come here from a team that had very little leverage.

And this team wouldn't even grant Danny Ainge an interview. :banghead2::banghead2::banghead2::banghead2::banghead2::banghead2::banghead2::banghead2::banghead2::banghead2::banghead2::banghead2::banghead2::banghead2::banghead2::banghead2::banghead2::banghead2::banghead2:
 
1. Given that Hart is likely to opt out in order to get a raise, and IF Portland doesn’t want to pay up in a multi-year extension, and SINCE doing a sign and trade is a royal pain … THEN getting back draft capital SRPs (previously squandered by Olshey … the gift that keeps giving) with an expiring contract as filler makes some amount of sense for Hart … BUT it still sucks! This is just about worse case scenario.

2. Having to wait for Nurkic to help his stock before trading him this summer is just about worse case scenario.

I’m now prepared for Thursday. :banghead::banghead::banghead:
 
What if the Blazers have done trades but no one knows because twitter is fucked up right now?

Move off of one injury prone big for arguably the only more injury prone big not named Zion! Brilliant!
 
Interesting how quiet it's been on the John Collins front, seemed ATL really wants to move him

Add in that everyone laughs about the inability to land a needle mover, while refusing to put Sharpe in any deals.

Putting Sharpe in a deal for less than a prime All-Star trending towards Superstar would be the dumbest imaginable move. Better to trade Dame at that point and keep Sharpe and Simons. Since we should definitely NOT trade Dame, that means we shouldn't trade Sharpe...unless it's for a prime Wing All-Star trending towards Superstar. Period. Exclamation Point.

I'm mainly there with you. I'm just saying, you have to give to get, and people here will both demand a needle mover/mock non-needle movers while at the same time refusing to trade assets that could actually land you that player.

My current stance is Dame is untradable short of Giannis, Tatum or Luka ergo, untradable. Sharpe is whisper below that, and EVERYONE and everything else is tradable.
 
I’d do Grant/Hart/2 seconds for Siakam. We better not pay Grant more than 28 mil per if he stays. I don’t like that he’s waiting till the offseason.
