Way too early trade suggestions (15 Viewers)

No matter what happens We are in the drivers seat and have all the leverage when it comes to

This is what about 26-29 GMs are saying this particular trade deadline. Expecting sellers to prefer rehabbing value in the future and buyers to balk at sending out firsts.

Fun times.

I would legit quit following the team if that happened.

yeah mikal is going to be underwater on that contract next season.

What a load of shit

What a load of shit

I think it makes a decent amount of sense, personally. I don't see him saying we have to trade the picks. I think his is all a hypothetical IF we're a part of the trade, it does make sense to move 29, sandwiching the one we give up with owning 28 and 30. And it does make sense to try to get swaps from NYK, or whoever ended up with Giannis, for the same reason we want Mil. picks, Giannis is aging.

NO THANK YOU

AS I HAVE SAID: Giannis is going to fall off a cliff in a couple of years at most (see Howard, Dwight), and I really don't see him bringing us a championship in that time, so why mortgage our future for maybe the second round of the playoffs for a couple years? Maybe if this was three years ago I'd be interested.

Bucks said to want a "blue chip prospect" and picks. Am sure the blue is starting to fade slightly from Scoot, but...

it'd probably be shaedon since scoot's trade value probably isn't high enough rn with the injury.

(I want to keep Shaedon around; I think he is flawed but the macro stats show that he's continuing to improve and is decent vs. the rest of his draft class.

This is the move I'd rather do. It would be the first time in 20+ years that we actually had a legit shot at a ring. I'd take a shot at a ring over being mediocre for another 10 years.

I think this team could win a ring next year (if they stay healthy)

Dame
Tou
Deni
Giannis
Clingan

That's one of the best starting fives in the league.

Jrue and Shae coming off the bench. We would need to add some other bench pieces. Hopefully another 3&D wing. We would need a legit 40%+ shooter.

I would want 4 FRPs in a Shaedon, Scoot and Clingan for Bridges trade.

I wouldn't trade Shaedon for Bridges straight up. I think Shaedon has way more upside. I don't think I'd do Scoot and Clingan for Bridges, they'd have to give us picks in that one.

I'll say it again, our focus should not be on what Dame's championship window is, or what Jrue's is. It should be about Deni's and Shae's and Clingan's and even Scoot's.

That's right. Blazers need to Build Around Deni. A true 2-way player who is All Star-level on offense.

He just turned 25 years old on January 3rd.
