I would be curious as to how dark the horse is. I've heard a couple of things but nothing substantial...more exploratory than serious offers so far.

For Davis or others? Who else is available?

@yuyuza1 @blazedanugz This is what I PM'd to a poster this morning.

"....and in response to your question in the thread, I've heard there have been exploratory discussions between N.O. and N.O. but I get the feeling it is facilitory in nature or for a secondary piece and that Davis is not part of it. The couple of people I check in with didn't think from what they had heard that Portland was very serious."

In a follow up discussion with one of the people I get to chat with, he said that he believes Portland has inquired about Davis but that the conversations weren't very serious. He thought they had deeper discussion regarding ancillary pieces rather than any significant talks regarding a superstar like Davis.

there's that word again...."aggressive"

I'm aggressively cynical about Olshey so until proven otherwise, I'm assuming that Olshey is aggressively leaking that he's aggressively chasing trades in a most aggressive manner. Then, in his annual exit interview he'll say he wishes he'd been more aggressive before the trade deadline.

Then he’ll tell us how he wants playoff tested vets before eventually giving Mario Hezonja the MLE

Translation: Neil is aggressively targeting Tim Frazier. Hopes to lock something up in the next week.

Lol....

I take it the targets are a little more substantial than Timmy.

If true, NO should be fired imediately.
 
@TBpup In fairness is it possible that Olshey asked about Davis and they weren't interested in a deal centered around CJ and/or Nurk making it virtually impossible to come up with a package good enough? Most people seem to be taking your statement as Olshey not super interested in AD which may not be the case.
 
@tester551 Perhaps.....but maybe his agent is telling him that there is no way he would re-sign in Portland. So then Olshey has to decide if it is worth a 1 1/2 year run for the price it will take....and whether he and the Blazers could change the mind of the player.

One thing, going to the Laker by then would mean LeBron would be nearly 36 years old at the start of the season. Is that where Davis would want to go to be with a 'contender'?

If we don't get AD I hope it's because they simply didn't like what we had to offer (assuming everyone but Dame is on the table). If it is because we didn't want to risk losing him in the summer of 2020 I'm going to be pissed.

Considering who his agent is, the agent has a vested interest in getting him to LA with LeBron. Of course the agent is going to say that AD will not resign.

Agents are important in the process, but the feelings of the actual player are much more important. Unfortunately, most of the time we get to hear the agent's thoughts on the situation instead of the player's.
