Bet we could get him for a pick. It’s a win now deal.

wut?

Conley makes 22.7M. That would take Simons going out....for 35 year old Conley

so then:

Portland downgrades from Ant to Conley
Portland moves one of it's better assets
Portland goes into the tax
Portland gets smaller
AND, Portland has to add a pick?

my take is fuck that

Slow down there friend. Give me
ONE example of “shitting” on this roster please, I’ll wait.

Now if you call stating that we have 40 wins for the season amount of talent… “Shitting” on this team, that’s on YOU.

You don't think we're good enough to ever expect a win in any game and have us at 39 wins which is out of the playoffs. I'm not saying that you're talking shit about the guys on the roster and the shitting thing was just supposed to be a joke but you don't think the roster is very good and you're right.

So if the roster isn't very good how are you going to make fun of guys who are calling for roster changes immediately because we see what Dame is doing and want to get some players with him that can operate at close to that level and guys that better fit the system, so Dame and the team can win now???

Just because I don’t think my favorite team isn’t going to the finals every season…. Not sure I’d call that “shitting” on the team.

I don't think you've got them going to the playoffs this season... again I know you're not shitting on the team or the guys but when you say that we don't have enough talent to expect a winning record that's kind of calling the team shitty and that's fine because we kind of are. That's why we need moves.

I wouldn’t say Ant is far from his potential. This is his 5th year.
Click to expand...
wow are you serious? He hasn't even completed one season as a full time starter yet, and has many more years to improve lots of areas to his game. My god being 23-24 it still LOTS of time to improve, compare any NBA superstar to when they were 23 to where they are at now.

Oh sorry I forgot according to you that no matter your age, once you're in your 5th year in the league that means you don't have much more room to grow...That's one of the silliest things I have heard here, and lately its a lot of silly trust me.

I don't think anyone is advocating dumping Ant for nothing. Everyone wants more size and players that complement Dame... so yeah a forward in his prime or entering it who makes the team better than they are right now with Ant would make a lot of sense. Ant in a package for a legit star would make a lot of sense.

everyone huh? or you and a couple of the typical bad apples that always think they know best from anyone esle?

They should send us a pick.

Maybe they could make all trades "incumbent" upon the way it works out for each team. Like in the Clippers case they obviously did very well with Powell. So this summer they should gladly give us a pick.

I dunno... something like Ant to Utah, Nurk/Keon and a couple of Utah's picks to Toronto, Conley and OG here could make sense... except it leaves us without a center.

OK, I should have said everyone in favor of trading Ant. Would you like to explain how I'm a bad apple? Is it because I've never wavered in my support for keeping Dame. Is it because I was very outspoken about getting rid of Olshey. Is it because I have trade ideas? Or simply because I have an opinion which by the way I don't think is more valid than anyone else on here (I mean a few people have consistently shitty takes but for the most part people that disagree with me have great reasons to)?

I have that dude on ignore. He's toxic. Best to just avoid him. You will be better off for it.

And his past with other players.......Paul George IMO would never have re-signed with Portland.
Click to expand...

geeeezuz...he re-signed with OKC after just about everybody said he wouldn't re-sign there. It's not a stretch at all to think he would have re-signed in Portland; OKC sure isn't more appealing to a west coast guy than Portland. And it's not a stretch to say that playing with Dame would have been more appealing than playing with Westbrook. So, I don't buy your assertion

you also need to keep in mind that 2018, for a variety of reasons, had the least amount of league-wide cap-space for years. And the 2 or 3 teams that did have cap-space enough for a max contract were small market teams with bad records. No big market team had any cap-spac; neither LA team did. It was actually in his interest to re-sign for the full-Bird max with his current team, and then have his agent push the situation the next year
 
I feel like if OG is traded he will be underwhelming post-trade. So many people acting almost as if he's a star.

Yeah, that is what I said but not what I meant. He re-signed with OKC to make sure he got the Max, knowing he could later demand to be traded. His end game IMO was always to end up at home in LA. But I admit I am biased, he is a very good player, but I just can't stand the guy.

he's certainly said & done some antagonistic things the last few years, but I think all of them have been after 2017. Two years with Westbrook can change a man...:)

We don’t have to trade Ant to match the salary. There’s Hart, Nurk, Little, or other role players off bench.

I said he isn’t FAR from his potential. I stick with that.

I like that deal. Put Hart into a trade that brings the center.

It’s not about him being a star but a great 2 way player that would complement our team well. Would make us MUCH better of defense. Imagine Hart but taller and better.
 
If we end up with mike Conley as our trade deadline move I will cancel my blazer tickets immediately
