Zombie Trading CJ

[Draco]

If I'm olshey I have my eye on Paul George.

Why? He has more trade value than Lillard along with Kawhi, Steph Curry, Towns.

 

[Draco]

yea that second unit would be pretty tough to watch. would end up being like last year and the year prior where we have a killer first 5 and almost nothing off the bench.

It amazes me when people bitch about CJ's point guard skills.

Have they watch any of our second unit PG's since we had Greg Anthony?

I actually really like Brian Roberts. I hope he sees his role increase next season.

 

[Draco]

Again people, why would Indiana trade the guy who led them to the playoffs and might end up leading them out of the first round?

I really don't see why Indiana would give up Paul George unless they get the better of the trade. I feel like you would have to trade Dame AND CJ otherwise it's not worth it for Indy.

Exactly. I wonder if some posters follow anything in the NBA outside of Blazer games.

Next we'll hear comparisons of Aminu or Plumlee to Draymond Green. Oh wait...

 

[Draco]

Highly unlikely we'd land him, a third team would need to be involved because I don't see why the Pacers would want a CJ centered package when they have Ellis, Hill, Stuckey, Young, etc. if they could get a team that would take Ellis and give them something worth a damn in return then MAYBE they might be open to a discussion.

Dame has less trade value than Paul George. It would need to be Dame plus something else.

And next we will hear you spout out 32 wins like you know it all... oh wait...

*steps back so Draco's pompous personality can have more room*

This isn't an NBA forum. This is a Blazers forum, so yes, i'm sure some people here DO only follow the blazers... your point?

Oh yeah. Your the only one who knows anything here and if anyone disagrees with you you put them on the ignore so you don't have to defend/explain your delusions. Got it.

I was a fan of Roberts before he came to us. I also hope his role increases next season. He's very underutilized, he could've helped us/CJ/Dame a lot in the reg. season & because he didn't play much in the reg. season, I don't think u can really put him out there much now in the playoffs unless it's a blowout.

Is it time for SlyPokerDog to set up the Gladiator Arena?

Maybe Chicago? Idk.

Honestly if we go down the Chicago route I rather we explore a CJ+Aminu for Butler trade

I'd pull the trigger on that in a heartbeat! Butler's a stud, he's still young/checks all the Neil criteria, he's on a cheap contract considering how awesome he is, & the list goes on! Butler's 1 of my favorite players & even though he's not THE leader... to me/us this IS a good thing; Dame's our leader & Butler's about the best Robin u can get!

 

[KingSpeed]

Butler is a bad apple. Apparently, no one in Chicago likes him. He thinks he's a superstar and isolates himself from the team and he couldn't even get them into the playoffs. He doesn't fit our culture. No thank you.

He's not a "bad apple." Of course I disagree that he "doesn't fit our culture," his Chi. situation sucks; he hasn't been able to carry the team ever since his knee injury, he needs quite a bit more time to heal from that.

Dude. Everyone in Chicago hates him. That is not the type of guy I want on our team.

 

[TBpup]

I wonder what our team would look like if all our mock trades went through? LOL.

I know what it would look like if D69 had been the GM from a Drafting perspective. That guy has been NAILS for years in regards to who Portland should have picked.

They hate him in Chicago because they want him to b THE savior the entire season, he's not that guy; I've np w/ that. Again, like I said ^ he's an unmatched 2nd go-to guy. IF Butler joined us, Dame's our leader & Butler for the entire season beyond... WOULD b awesome in his role!

Lol, Nah, Im just messin with Mr.StuffyPants like he was messin' with me. giving me crap about my wrong comparison of Dgreen to Harkless, so I was just pointing out that he certainly isnt right all the time like he seems to think he is. I think we want the same things overall. Pretty sure he has me on ignore anyhow, lol. He wouldnt adress a cerious question long before this. ANyhoo...

The Blazetrs suck and we need to gut the team because we didnt win it all this year. And that of course translates to we will never win with Dame and/or CJ.

Im on board all the way!!!!!!!


(did I forget the green font?)

 

[PDXFonz]

Dude. Everyone in Chicago hates him. That is not the type of guy I want on our team.

When did you conduct your survey? Were you surprised that 100% said they hated him?

Thats gotta be tough, I bet he can't even leave his house. What the hell did he do anyways, to cause every human in Chicago to hate him? Did he call them all bad fans?

It's weird though cause I feel like if I were to ask everyone on the Bulls about JB that not everyone would say they hate him. I actually would be surprised to hear any of them use those words.

 

[Blazinaway]

In the right deal, EVERYONE IMO should be on the table with the possible exception of Dame. No hate/no love, just a fan who want this team to become better and contend. I don't get married to players and hopefully Olshey does not either.

 

[Denny Crane]

Dude. Everyone in Chicago hates him. That is not the type of guy I want on our team.

Butler was forced to re-sign with the Bulls. He wanted to go to the L*kers of all teams. The only way out of that situation is to be a malcontent. Prior seasons, he was loved by everyone. I do not understand what the Bulls gain by talking down the value of their own player. Idiots.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I was off it but...

His defense is some of the worst I've ever seen. His brain shuts down when he's screened.

You can't have that next to Amian.

In short, you have to choose between CJ and Dame.

 

[BigGameDamian]

How about a Lillard/Henderson backcourt?

I've read tons of articles over the past several months - Chicago players/management do NOT like Butler. I can't find one of the ones I read earlier this week, but there have been at least 3 articles since the end of the season about how Butler has changed, has burned bridges, and isn't the type of player the Bulls want to build around. With Rose done Chicago wants a new leader, but they hate Butler's leadership qualities. That's why I think - IF we trade CJ for Butler - we need some sweetener from Chicago to make the gamble worth it. Maybe something like CJ/Aminu for Butler/McDermott:

Why would the Bulls give up Jimmy Butler? That's the lone bright spot on that team.

 

[handiman]

They could bring Rasheed out of retirement and have a lone bald spot. Next best thing. Even if it's technically the next best thing to the next best thing.

 

[BBert]

How about a Lillard/Henderson backcourt?

Henderson is a one-on-one black hole. He is suitable for instant offense off the bench. That's it. Playing him next to Dame doesn't do either one of them any good, or the team.

Bc what Blue9 said

 

[Natebishop3]

Crabbe IF he keeps this up, will have one season of averaging 10/2/1 on 46/35/83 with a 12 PER. Let's say his stats modestly improve to 11/3/2 on 48/37/85. How is that AT ALL comparable to:

Matthews - 6 seasons of 15/3/3 on 44/40/83
Batum - 7 seasons of 13/6/3 on 45/36/84
Parsons - 3 seasons of 14/5/3 on 47/37/70

I think you are severely overrating both Crabbe and the money. Teams don't HAVE to spend their money on anyone. Clearly the Blazers didn't do it last year, and that was arguably an even worse FA class.

I guess I was right

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Nearly gave me a fucking heart attack! Bumping a Trade CJ thread to talk about Crabbe!
