Dear god this is such a bad deal. Giannis is not worth all that.

Particularly as he's likely to fall off a cliff. Remember what happened to Dwight Howard? I know Giannis's shooting has improved, but he's still reliant on speed and power.

Camara is untouchable. He is the Blazers' heart and soul.
 
Obviously I want Giannis, but Booker and Lauri are interesting as well. Don't love those salaries but they are #1 options. I actually think Lauri would be really good in our system. The guys we would send out would be at least one of Shaedon and or Scoot, along with Hansen and picks.

There's no way we can re-sign all our young players if they all blossom, so might as well consolidate.

I like Markkanen as well. I wonder if we get him without giving up Camara or Deni?
 
I don’t think we’re a player away this season, so I don’t see us making an all in move. Internal development is going to take us to another level more than anyone coming back in a trade imo.

We are still waiting to see where our backcourt is. I still very much feel like Shaedon is our guy at the end of the guy, but I know a lot of people probably don’t. We still don’t know if Scoot is our future Holiday+ yet because he’s still out. My opinion is that we are still in the asset accumulation phase, we just are better. Grant still is someone I want us to get off if an offer ever comes. Jrue is going to net us a positive return that Joe won’t refuse.

If Scoot and Shae are a championship level backcourt, then Devin Booker type players don’t make sense, but Scottie Barnes does. We are a couple seasons away from knowing so.

I think this is backwards thinking. Trade Jrue for future considerations doesn't make a lot of sense. We're already really good. Pinning our hopes on Shae or Scoot by standing pat is a disservice to the team. It's too early to make a decision on Shae, so I wouldn't do anything now. But as we get past December and January, you should have an idea. I'd love for Shae to be that guy, but it's not in our odds. Even the same with Scoot. Grant would have to go out in a trade for his salary. Blazers are primed for going all in. Deni and Tou go nowhere.

Trade Avdija for Kuminga

Silly. But I do reckon I have been a Kuminga proponent while many were calling him garbage here. He's having a killer start to the season and playing really smart. I hope Shaedon takes a page of his playbook. More moving/cutting to finish plays.

I don't understand what forward rotation we would have with Lauri and how we would defend. Would we bench Deni or Camara?

If Dame ever plays he makes some sense on this roster as is but not with Lauri. Pair the two of them would go back to a defense like DameCJMelo

Booker would make more sense to me as he could fit at SG. Not saying I'd do it but the positions make sense.

Tou would start at the 2 and Lauri and Deni as your forwards. I actually think that would work really well with Jrue and Clingan on the floor.

probably the biggest surprise of the season thus far. ZERO defense and there is no explanation for it.
