I'm pretty sure we're not drafting for the Blazers this off season...I think our pick will be gone...might buy a 2nd rounder but the 24th is getting shopped around as we speak

I also believe NO trades pick #24.

But..... To Atlanta for picks #30 & 33.

No logical reason. Just a gut guess.

If the trade is more for the expiring contract, than for ET Noah has basically the same value.

of the two, ET is more likely to have a break out season and increase his trade value...all he needs is to start off hot next fall and keep it up going into the allstar break...sell high...Noah has all kinds of baggage beyond basketball

Heres another one.
Blazers get Lamarcus Aldridge
Spurs Get Evan Turner, AFA, the 24th and 2019 lottery protected first.

swap Chief with Meyers and eliminate the 2019 pick, only include the 24th pick this season and I'd do it

That’s a good point.
 
You know the more I think about Turners place on this team the more I'm convinced Paul & Neil want him here. When they signed him its not like they didn't know what type player he is and his strengths & weakness's. They knew and still do, but they got him for the next 2 years of their 5 year plan. Off the bench utility player with energy & team leadership. Way over paid for sure, but I do not see that as a problem for Paul. I bet Turner impressed Paul during his interviews.
Id say he's one of the pieces going forward.
Just a thought.....

Well Dame and CJ can create, Aldridge gives a really good midrange game and pick and pop, Nurkic gives the pnr option. I mean yes if we could restart the whole roster is that who I would come up with? No probably not.

If Aldridge accepts a smaller role, then yes. Dame and CJ can create, but they typically only create for themselves with others standing around and that is my beef with that. You can have one guy in your backcourt doing that, but not two. They are a bad mix even though individually they are talented players.

Nurkic can be a good pnr option, but he can also be a huge defensive liability on the pnr at the defensive end with todays game. It wouldn't bother me them re-singing him because I like certain things he brings, but they have to be able to afford a backup that can be the opposite style center like the type I mentioned above. That would be a great combo center position for them but money is tight so they would have to get lucky in the draft that Bell from Oregon....oh ya. :)

Good talk and I enjoyed your views. Thanks.

Weren't we a top 10 defensive team this past year and top 6 the year before after Nurkic was traded for last year? The numbers say differently than what you're projecting.
 
Trade McCollum, Harkless, 2019 1st to MIN for Butler, Aldrich (UNG), Filler

POR Gets: Lee, #14
DEN Gets: Future 2nd
NYK Gets: Faried, Future 2nd

POR Gets: #10, #21, Jerryd Bayless, TLC
PHI Gets: #14, Thabo Sefelosha (UNG)
UTA Gets: #24, Al-Farouq Aminu

Draft Bridges and Hutchison

Trade ET, Meyers, 2021 1st to Detroit for Blake Griffin

Sign Wayne Ellington

Lillard / Baldwin
Butler / Ellington
Bridges / Hutchison
Griffin / Collins
Nurkic / Davis
 
Here's my idea.

Trade #1
Cleveland gets: CJ, Aminu, Swanigan, #24
Portland gets: #8, Love, JR Smith
Cavs get CJ to a tempt to keep James in town. If not, the get a local kid to be the new face of the franchise. Blazers get this for the pick.

Trade #2
Detroit gets: Love + Layman
Portland gets: Griffin
Pistons get a shooter at PF & get out of Blake's contract. Blazers prep for a another trade.

Trade #3
Memphis gets: #8 (Bridges), JR Smith, Zach Randolph
Sacramento gets: #4 (Porter), Blake Griffin
Portland gets: #2 (Doncic), Parsons, Shumpert
Griz dump Parsons contract for 19/20 to move down a few spots while still getting the best fit.
Kings get a big name player under contract for several years. They avoid embarrasment since Doncic doesn't want to go there.
Portland gets the best player in the draft while SPAM (spending Paul Allens money).

Trade #4
Denver gets: 2019 second + cash
Portland gets: #14 (Miles Bridges if available) + Faried

Trade #5 (if Bridges is not available)
Atlanta gets: #14
Portland gets: #19, #30, & #33
Pick 19 target -> Huerter, Musa, Hutchinson
#30/#33 -> picks to play in D-League -> Melton, Fraizer, Vanderbilt, Okogie, Trent, or Simons.

Man! That end product is real good.

I think Butler could be available because Towns doesn't like Thibs and if Thibs goes, it's likely Butler leaves in free agency. Griffins definitely gettable too.

I’ve been way beyond that nerd level for a while... I’m like lvl 90 with a couple maxed stats. :dunno:
 
POR Gets: #14, #43, Courtney Lee (TPE)
DEN Gets: #24
NYK Gets: Kenneth Faried


POR Gets: #10, Tobias Harris, Jerryd Bayless
DAL Gets: #12, #13, 2019 POR 1st, Caleb Swanigan, Jake Layman
LAC Gets: #5, Meyers Leonard, Al-Farouq Aminu
PHI Gets: #14

Draft Mikal Bridges 10th, Shake Milton 43rd

Lillard / Baldwin / Bayless
McCollum / Lee / Milton
Bridges / Harkless / Turner
Harris / Collins / ?
Nurkic / Davis / Papagiannis

That lineup is much better, and still young and that's with two draft-day trades.

I say we still go after LeBron and Love via a LeBron opt-in and trade. Offer Turner, Harkless, and 2021, 2023, and a RTS 2024 1sts. That lineup should be enticing for LeBron and might actually be his best option to win. If not, just roll with that squad.

I think we get too good a deal here.
If Dallas is ok with 12 and 13 for 5, essentially, then Clippers are going to send Harris, 12, 13 to Dallas for 5 and we get cut out. I'm sure Dallas would easily find a taker to give them assets for Harris equal to our 2019 1st, Swanigan and Layman if they wanted. Or, would be more than happy to have Harris. And Clippers wouldn't have to eat Leonard in the deal.

If you remove Philly, and we do Faried for 14, maybe we can then send Faried and 14 to Dallas for Harris. We get Harris basically for nothing. Denver saves $$. LAC send 12, 13, Harris for 5(seems steep, maybe we send them 24), and Dallas gets 12, 13, 14 for 5.

I don't think Dallas wants salary back, they want to make a run at Julius Randle, Jabari Parker, and other RFAs. It'll likely take another 1st to get Dallas to move from 5 to 12&13.. Heard Harris has a decent chance of getting moved too. Swanigan is a valuable piece to get back for Dallas too.

Maybe they don't want salary, but Harris at 16 a year is great value for them to take on. Because that's easy to be moved elsewhere, for that additional 1st potentially. And he's not yet 26

Except Dallas does essentially get a 1st (actually two) for Harris, as we send them a first, and Swanigan.

Is there a google chrome extension that blocks courtney lee trade proposals? The amount of discussion about a shitty journeyman vet whose overpaid is astounding to me.

Lmao. The people that cry about him ard absolutely rediculous. He fits perfectly with poor TPE, is a 40% 3pt shooter, and can defend. He'd bee a major upgrade over Connaughton.

There's a lot of talk about taking back Faried to get #14. I'd rather have Lee than Faried, and NY would likely swap them. So giving up #24 for #14 and Lee is a great move.

The fact that people cry about this dude is rediculous, and seems short-sighted.
 
Chris Broussard and Colin Cowherd just randomly mentioned how well Love would fit on the Blazers. Seemed odd and out of nowhere that they would bring it up en route to talking about the finals beatdown, and then just in passing.
