Boucher protects the paint on defense.

Are you basing that off his block numbers? Because Toronto fans would probably disagree with you on that statement. He's a shot blocker in the same way that Hassan Whiteside or JaVale McGee are.

He moves a lot better than both of those guys and he plays the paint well. He's a legit 3 and D post who also finishes around the hoop. I like his game and have seen him play plenty. He's not lazy and just waiting for blocks either. He's very active, get's out on the perimeter. I can't think of a guy further from the Whitesides and McGees of the game. Terrible comparison.

That makes us better but not in a way that moves the needle. It makes us really deep but I think we lack potency in scoring. I guess if you think that Dame's our first option and the rest of the guys are 2a, 2b, 2c and 2d... that's OK but none of them are really a second option.

I also think our 2024 and 2026 picks are worth more than the Lakers' and Jazz's 2022 picks. So if the Sixers want a deal for CJ and picks then we can do that and acquire a difference maker like Simmons. I honestly think CJ, DJJ and two first rounders get the deal done.

We don’t have the player who will not show up/refuse to play.

Key to making a good deal is being able to walk away.

I think as training camp and/or preseason (or even the season for that matter) the pressure on Morey increases and the “cost” of Simmons will likely come down.

In a perfect world (from a Blazer perspective) an even CJ-for-Ben trade occurs. Not expecting but just hoping it will happen.

Here's a target that hasn't been talked about yet:

Larry Nance Jr.

He's a modern big that can shoot threes and switch on defense. The exact kind we've needed.

36% on threes on 5.2 per 36. Also 15% assist rate over the last three seasons, so you get some playmaking there. Versatile defensively. Has a very reasonable contract for two more years at ~11M per year.

He's also the type of player that Neil would build his entire off-season around. Like "hey, we traded Derrick Jones and a 1st for Larry Nance, we're a championship team now!"

But on a serious note, they should definitely explore a DJJ + 1st + whatever it takes deal for Larry Nance Jr. It shouldn't be the major deal, but it should be one.

I'm gonna pat myself on the back since I'm pretty sure I was first to the table here.
 
Ok so what do the rotations look like now? I don't see why cleveland wants LM either but that's their problem. DJJ is not bad for the bulls, they need defense, and they got another pick. Bulls win the off-season. I think Ball will be transformative for them. He is 24!

@lawai'a mentioned the idea off-handedly about 2 weeks before your post, but yours appears to be the first to really focus on it.

rumored at the deadline larry nance,jr was available for a first round pick. flip the one from the knicks along with DJJ for him and get insurance at the 4/5. can stretch the floor too.

Looking through this, I don't think we're gonna make any moves until the deadline. We don't really have tradeable contracts/picks/future assets to make major upgrades anyway.

I'm finding myself more and more interested in a CJ for Tobias Harris deal, especially if we can get an asset in return. Someone talk me out of it.

Harris makes like 5M more than CJ, which means that deal will cost the Blazers a ton of tax money.

I'm guessing that didn't work. Probably because you're right.

Ya the people complaining about CJ's contract would have a field day with Harris'. But saving Jody money is the least of my concerns.

I just think the roster would be so much more balanced with Harris. I mean, what if they throw in a pick or Maxey along with him?

Dame/ Maxey
Powell / Simons
Harris / Little
Roco/ Nance
Nurk/ Zeller

ugh. I hated the idea of Tobias, but it just makes too much sense.

I mean, there's no way they're giving up Maxey for him, IMO. But if they would, then you make that deal 10 times out of 10.

Does acquiring Nance open up trading RoCo?

I don't think we'd be getting a Seth level player back with Simmons and I'm fine with that.

I would do CJ and RoCo for Simmons and Tolliver in a heartbeat. We could then see how Simmons and Nurk play together and make a Nurk trade after that if necessary around the deadline.
 
Assuming the viability of a Dame/Powell/RoCo/Nance unit, who is the best center we could get for a CJ/Nurk package?

I think whoever it is it would need to be a three way trade because I can't think of any team that needs both. So if you could get pieces that make sense for Nurk... then CJ plus what you get for Nurk for Ben Simmons makes that lineup pretty damn lethal. The guy is 6'11", with a 7' wingspan and 250 lbs. I know he can do a lot of shit that has had him listed at PG a lot of his career but he is a legit big and he is a super athlete.

Maybe KAT, much better offensively, not as good defensively. KAT has the tools to be a better defender, but the question is - will have ever have the mindset. Offensively tho, he is world better than Nurk.

I don't see Minnesota wanting CJ so it would have to be a three way. We would probably have to give up picks too (which means we would have to get Cleveland to relax our FRP protections somewhere). I don't see Minny trading KAT for cheap.
