I'm a little worried that the Dame trade rumors are going to kill our ability to make moves.

Teams that might have been interested in CJ will now think that they only need to wait it out to have a shot at Dame.

100% going to need to get Dame's "in" or "out" decision before we can (and/or should) do anything...

Man these national media dudes (Colin Cowherd is going off) are jonesing for Dame to get traded out of PDX. Makes me sick. Bernie Fratto of Fox Sports Radio has been the exception. He wants Dame to stay in Portland and try to getter done. It was cool. Colin , and his "I like Portland B.S", while jonesing for a Dame trade out, makes me sick. He's got Smogtown so far up his arse, he can't think. And he's not the only one.

To me, if you can get someone like Simmons by trading CJ, you do it regardless of whether Dame is in or out. Simmons is still pretty young and you can use him to start a rebuild. But if I'm Philly, and there are rumors that Dame is unhappy, why would I want to take CJ when maybe I can wait a bit and maybe get Dame?

Agree there. There's a handful of pieces that you can build around even if Dame's not in.

Because anyone with a measurable IQ knows that even if Dame made a public trade demand today, he'd fetch a lot better offers than Simmons.

Sure, but three team trades can happen. Who knows dude. I'm just saying if teams feel like there's blood in the water, it makes things more complicated.
 
Tired of the Billups chatter/discussion, so am thinking on roster improvement instead. I know most want to see CJ traded. I can honestly see Neil giving that duo one more chance with a new coach, much to all of our dismay. I think if we make a big deal this offseason, it's going to be along the lines of the Jrue deal Milwaukee made last season, sending out their next 3 available picks, plus swaps.

I think Neil knows he likely has one shot at this. If we fail this season, or anything short of a WCF appearance, I imagine he's gone. So what does he care if he trades away future picks that he won't get to use? I can see him offering up Zach and DJJ and 2022, 24, 26 picks, with swaps in 23 and 25. Zach's QO, and DJJ combine to be able to bring back a player making around 20, 21 million. Obviously can throw in others to increase the return $$ amount.
 
OK, Neil hired a coach and now he has to trade CJ. He can't wait, we need to trade CJ by the end of the draft and then use our bird rights to re-sign Norm. For what we need, Norm and the value we'll get back from CJ makes more sense than CJ without Norm. If Olshey can buy some time and re-signs Norm before trading CJ, then more power to him and we can see how the group performs under Chauncey but if Norm sounds uncool with playing on a roster with Dame and CJ... get CJ the fuck out of town and bring back a legit forward to pair with RoCo.

For me the time period from now until the draft, is operation trade CJ McCollum. Let's hope Neil gets it done. For the first time since Dame and CJ have been starting together, Neil has not talked up the duo. He said he needs to get in gear and build a team that can honestly contend. So, I'm waiting.

I'm waiting, too, but the draft isn't for another month!

I assume most NBA GMs know Dame really isn't available. If not one phone call would clear it up.

I realize Neil said CJ was not going anywhere and Morey/Doc said Simmons isn't going anywhere but I think that is a different situation.
That is just GM speak for "you are not getting him cheap."

I really wonder what made him to wait that long to fire a coach, who wasn't coaching. I can only think about money, somehow, bc lack of accountability on the court was so obvious and streetball team was playing was god awful, that you couldn't watch it.
Trading Stotts for Billups will/should have instant impact on team performance, imo and this trade will do more, than big players trade would do under Stotts.
Unfortunately, I can imagine, that it was Dame, that talked Neil to stay pat with CJ and Nurk and try it till next deadline as he bets on friendship again. I can easily imagine Lillard not givin up musketeers and kickin his own head with this idea.
That probably means Norm will go.
I can see WTC with the same rooster, cos why not, if we improve ball movement. That one thing makes this team much better.
Thing is, I really got enough of MeJ and I too think, Norm is less spectacular but better here.
I expect Lillard, CJ, Little, RoCo, Nurk in S5.
I don't see Blazers bench at this point.
 
There may be a bidding war on Siakam, and I bet the Blazers will be involved.

Doesn't fit Toronto's timeline
Masai isn't back yet, so who is making the decisions?
Had surgery that will keep him out till October
Maybe not as good as his contract
Has rumored interest already from teams like GSW

I would be surprised if he's not moved in one way or another.
 
Out of the blue, Kris Middleton and/or Jrue Holiday might be available because it sounds like Giannis unfortunately may have multiple ligaments torn in his knee and is likely out through next season.

That would hurt, but I'd definitely do it.

Is there any way we can get Myles Turner without giving up Dame or CJ? Would Indy want Nurk + stuff?

The following are targets, not guys I think we can get for CJ necessarily.

My top targets that are POSSIBLY available for trade, in close to actual order are:

Simmons
Ingram
PG-13
Myles Turner
Jerami Grant (unlikely he's available, but maybe)
Siakam (but I doubt he's available)

Then secondary targets are:

Hayward
Dillon Brooks
Marcus Smart
Boucher
Wiggins
Josh Hart

Any other stretch 4 and 5's you can think of we could target? Any other wings of note that MIGHT be actually moved?

Ha! Ohhh man you are talking to the WRONG guy here. Im soo not a CBA buff and Im just picking trades out of my ass, though that one somewhat make sense. :)

There are several here who would be much better at answering your question.

@BonesJones
@hoopsjock
@JDC
@Weiweismart Edit: Wait what? Who is that? Where did Weisenhiemer go?

The only way we can really get Turner is by trading Nurk and Jones if he opt in
