Exclusive Woj - Anthony Davis has Requested a Trade.

[tester551]

We're not going after Davis from what I read today..we're going after Marc Gasol and a wing player...according to the rumors we're going hard at the Gasol trade...seems to be Neil's number one target

Gasol is good... but honestly, Nurk is much better at this stage. Gasol can shoot the 3, but I'd still rather have Nurk on the floor.

Gasol would be an upgrade at backup C, but we have much bigger issues than to "go hard" after Marc.

 

[LayneStaley]

Neil seems to have a hard on for Centers. He’s acquired Nurk, went after Cousins last year, and now Gasol(supposedly).

 

[tester551]

Awfully risky to trust Kyrie to stay in free agency and to wait for a deal where lots of things can go wrong. What if Jaylen Brown tears his ACL in the playoffs?

Kyrie is irrelevant in considering a trade for AD. Boston would have AD under contract, which makes it easier to convince Kyrie to stay.

If Brown tears an ACL, again it's irrelevant. If it reduces his value, you find a different piece (or more picks) to include in the trade.

Correction: They'd have AD under contract for one season and Kyrie would have the whole moratorium to be wooed elsewhere.

as was seen last year in the playoffs and during much of last season, Boston was a pretty good team without Kyrie.

Right there with you. I'll bring the torches.

I'll bring the snacks.

I'd say our last playoff exit would argue the point that Gasol would make our playoff bench pretty frickin amazing...it was our bench that really choked that series..having two legit 7 ft rim protectors would be great

Neil Olshey <=> John Nash

 

[tykendo]

I think Gasol would be a great backup to Nurk. It would be the perfect amount of minutes for the aging Gasol. It would improve the team. The bench would be a whole lot stronger.

 

[H.C.]

Like I don't see the point of getting Gasol, outside of never having to see Nards in a Blazer uniform again...
But I believe Conley would be more attractive than Gasol on this roster would he not?
Neither to me are really pieces Portland NEEDS.

He has a horrendous contract though.

 

[Blazers Roy]

Neil Olshey <=> John Nash

Nash was Trash.
It rhymes for a reason...

Anyway, why is Lonzo mentioned so much now? If i'm the Pels i threaten to end all talks if i even hear his name in the negotiations. Why would i want his ugly-ass jumpshot or his crazy family anywhere near my team?

 

[BonesJones]

There is a lot of continuity with Nurkic and Gasol in terms of their skillset.

 

[bradk8605]

I would do something like this + Pick(s) in a heartbeat (if Memphis is blowing things up).

[oldmangrouch]

The story about chasing Gasol is...weird.

First of all, we have more pressing needs than back-up center. Second, there are teams out there that would want Gasol for more than a back-up. Logic suggests they would offer more than Portland would.

The only way the story makes sense is if Olshey is trying to get rid of Nurk. So, who is going to rock me as I cry myself to sleep?

Memphis is is laughing. They would at least want Zach Collins. It's not like Gasol is trash with zeo value.

You'd be trading back up centers so it evens out...if ET is included with Meyers the salaries would be closer

 

[riverman]

What we're about to find out through this deal or a Randle deal is whether or not Meyers has built enough trade value to bring back an upgrade

 

[Chris Craig]

Gasola backup center....for $24 mil?

Portland out: Leonard, turner, Simons cj, nurk, 1st
In: anthony davis, Marc Gail, etwaun Moore, Garrett temple

Memphis out: gasol, temple
In: turner, leonard, simons

NO out: davis, moore
In: Cj, Nurk, 1st

Lillard/ baldwin
Temple/ curry
Harkless/ layman
Davis/ aminu
Gasol/ swanigan

Sign a backup C off waivers

Zach and Nik? Don't see them or Trent Jr

 

[RR7]

Lol, D'oh! Totally spaced zach, because of other iterations that had him going out. But yes, he'd be the backup 5

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

How is that not tampering from Lebron?

 

[TBpup]

How is that not tampering from Lebron?

LeBron as a player is allowed supposedly.

 

[Rhal]

How is that not tampering from Lebron?

Because lebron hasnt' said anything to the public about it.

Yea that probably who they want as part of that trade.

 

[illmatic99]

Wtf is Neil's problem? Deandre last year, Gasol now? Nurk is already better than him and on a far better contract and is 10 yrs younger

 

[James lamphear]

But also want expiring contracts and young player and draft picks. Well got Aminu and Layman Nik and Curry that's expiring and then got Zach Trent Simons as youth. Will they consider Leonard in the deal hard saying.

 

[riverman]

The good news is Meyers has played well in Memphis
