What teams have enough depth/assets to make the Pels an attractive offer, and still have a good enough roster left that AD would be willing to play for them? I'd say the list is pretty short, and the Blazers aren't even close to being on it. The only consolation, is that the same could be said about the Lakers.

If he winds up with the Warriors, I may light myself on fire.:evilfire:
 
I don't think New Orleans will trade him to the west...the east needs another superstar to make the playoffs more competitive...with Lebron going to the Lakers I'd say the Pelicans trade with Boston....teams generally don't like trading superstars within their own conference

Boston, Philly and Lakers are 3 teams that have the assets to make a deal for Davis. I don;t think anything happens till the off season as that's when they can get their best deal.
 
AD is definitely going to the Lakers. It just remains to be seen how exactly it transpires. It could easily backfire on LA.
 
Pardon the blasphemy, but...

If CJ is a significantly better player when Dame is out, would a Dame-for-Davis trade make the Blazers a better team?

Nah. CJ's still doesn't run the team as well as Dame even when he's the lead guard out there.

Not to mention the intangibles.

Not disputing that
Dame > CJ​
That's pretty inarguable. Just asking if
CJ + Davis > CJ + Dame​
...and whether the difference would be large enough to consider making the swap.
 
This summer, Boston's absolute best offer will probably be: Tatum + Brown + Smart + extra 1st round picks available to throw in

Unfortunately, I don't think we (or anyone for that matter) can match that.
 
If a trade goes down before the deadline, I bet it doesn’t happen until the last minute. There will be a ton of offers to vet and right now the Pels are undoubtedly asking the world for Davis.

east...
Boston, Philly, Toronto or Miami although NO might look to trade with Washington for Beal or Wall or Porter

The trade deadline is on the same days as the All Star draft when Lebron will inevitably pick AD. Should make for fun TV. I'm sure the league is loving this
 
If we could trade CJ/Zach/1st for a 1 year rental of AD then get Tatum and a 1st from Boston at next seasons deadline if Davis doesn’t wanna resign you do it without hesitation. I’d trade CJ and a 1st for Tatum right now.

Dunno--AD won't be a starter, so Giannis will actually have first shot at drafting him. Seems like a no-brainer pick for him.

That just turns into Davis > Dame? Which feels like a coin toss when you factor in health and leadership, and on its own probably not worth the gamble.
 
Are we 100% sure Boston would give up Tatum? I don't know if they would.
 
This whole thing really sucks for New Orleans, imagine waking up and seeing that Dame had demanded a trade out of town.

Once again, New Orleans has brought this on themselves. They have failed to even build a team around him that can make the playoffs 50% of the time. At least in Portland we've made the playoffs 5 out of 6 years and about to be 6 out of 7.
 
it was inevitable that Blazer fans began thinking Portland could get into the AD sweepstakes after the news.

it won't happen, but looking at some of these trade fantasies, it makes my fantasy involving Paul Allen's yacht, gold bullion, a desert island, and Gal Gadot seem almost realistic....thanks guys!
