Who else do you blame for offering that horrible trade?

if you accept a rumor as gospel true, then sure

I don't accept any rumor, from any source, as true right now. Guys like Fisher are spending 12-15 hours a day yapyapyapping about the tiniest bit of flotsam they see on the water. Their lives are recycling and regurgitating the whispers, speculation, and lies they hear. They are all Woj wannabe's and they are all trying way to hard to be considered insiders and experts

could Portland have offered the 3 for PG13? Sure. But how likely is it? Fisher is talking like it was the mighty Clippers who turned it down, with prejudice, after Portland came begging. I simply don't believe that's how it all occurred

My read is Charlotte moving down in a three way with us or getting Zion/Ingram. Either way Scoot to NO.

I was responding to the poster about why Joe would be to blame for that offer. I didn't offer anything beyond that.
 
Miller definitely simplifies things...A position of need is available with the third pick. They then have Grant/Miller/Sharpe and let Dame decide if it's him or Ant that plays PG and trade the odd man out to complete the roster.
 
I rather have Miller then scoot just because it's more what we need. We need to get longer period. Yes it it's scoot find that's means Charlotte drafted Miller. But I had the choice between two I would take miller.
 
- Jabari Smith Jr + 4 for 3
- Jalen Duren + 5 for 3
- WCJ + 6 for 3
- Myles Turner + 7 for 3
- Markannen + 9 for 3

- Draft and keep Miller

- Trade pick (Scoot) + ?? for Zion, Bridges/Clax, Pascal/OG, Bam

In the short term, that's basically the decision. Where that becomes vastly less simple, is the Dame/Ant divergence is effectively a decision as to whether or not to completely overhaul the entire roster and trade your 53 year franchise's most marquee and influential player... A little less simple when you bake in the ramifications :)

Yes, if it becomes some personal thing, it's complicated. It's why no business is run this way. It's my opinion that $176,265,152 covers the appreciation for his services, and now what is best for the team moving forward.

You're not wrong about the money part, but most businesses are nothing like the NBA, so I'm not sure that logic applies. Money or otherwise, Dame has been a special figure to this organization and they should and will treat him as such.

Any indication that this could just be CHA getting back into a Blazers pick trade to maximize the value at 2? I always thought it was weird that it was seemingly so confirmative that early...
 
I’m perfectly fine with keeping the pick today. Depending on who we pick I would still like to see roster balance on positions with trading Ant and possibly Nurk. I’d also like to see the Chicago trade be finalized by either trading them a late first rounder, player or a few of our 2nd rounders which with new CBA should hold some value

just trying to follow the logic in here...So, if the Clippers said no to a trade, we blame Joe? It's a horrible trade for Portland, and I can't imagine them offering it but want to understand the blame Joe part.

My thinking is there was more to it. That is why they said no.

This is where I am too.

If we get a great offer to trade the pick, great.
If we get and hang onto Scoop, great.
If we get and hang onto Miller, great.

Make moves to improve the team without grossly jeopardizing the future. If we can do enough to keep Dame engaged, great. If not, we'll deal with years of past sins when necessary...
 
Unlikely -- what the hell does that even mean in terms of a percentage cause it's not saying that the Pels have shut down Zion talks just not looking like he will be traded at this point. The same could be said about Dame but at any minute aka his trade request that could change. Also RealGM as a source -- really ? -- we that desperate for news we cling to lower tier NBA sites for info.
