Truth is, and we all know it to be true, we won’t beat Golden State in 2018/19 or 2019/20....so let’s retool by taking a page from Ainge’s playbook and pull the trigger

Dame to Boston

It won’t happen but it’s interesting.
Kind of would like to build around Dame, let Dame be the best player in franchise history and hopefully make it to the conference finals or better at some point in his career.

Don't they say that every draft?

Yeah but this draft is for real. Look at Luka Donic for example. It's Impossible that he Ends up as a bust, because he already is the Franchise Player for real Madrid and is playing like an MVP in euro League, against pro competition, not that ncaa College shit, this guy is the real deal and could be as good as Harden or even better. Doncic is sooo good, i would even consider trading Dame for donic although i love Lillard. Also Ayton is very good but sucks in Defense, bamba could be the Next rudy Gobert WITH a 3 point shot, Michael Porter has Franchise Player caliber. Thats my top 4 in the draft.

Hell no

Short sighted!

If Dame, with Aminu / Harkless / our #24 pick in June) via a three-team trade, could net you:

Jalylen Brown (past #3 pick and 6’-7” PG)
Harrison Barnes (a wing that is better than we have had in many years)
Dallas’ #5 pick in June
Memphis’ #1 pick in 2019 (from Boston)
Kings #1 pick in 2019 (from Boston)

It’s not a “hell no!”

It’s a Y E S!

In three years we might be looking at going deep into the playoffs with a young core.

Boston doesn’t need Kyrie....but imagine adding Dame!? Ainge would be crazy not to bargain with the Blazers! And Portland has missed the “Dame window” with the mess of a team we have constructed and contracts that don’t drop for two years - I loved Roy. I love Dame, but I want more than first round and out! I want to see the trophy again in Portland!

This post is so stupid. Smart is a restricted free agent so he wouldn't be included. They have the Kings pick next year, how about we substitute that for Smart.

Celtics need a player of Nard's caliber to take them to the next level.
Without him they have no chance of beating GSW, as GSW doesn't have a player who is guaranteed to make 50% of his swish3's like Nards is.
Also this year Nards was an improved defender. If the Celtics had Nards GSW would fear the Celtics.
Therefore the Celtics need to pay the Blazers to even talk about trading Nards. The price is that Kings pick.
Celtics then need to give up Tatum, Brown, Baynes, and if Portland can't get Smart. Then Morris + Boston's next 9 out of 18 1st round draft picks will need to come to Portland.
I mean guaranteed to make 50% of swish3's!!!!!!!!! No other player in the NBA is as good as Nards.

The Blockbuster trade:

Portland Outgoing:
Dame goes to Boston
Aminu goes to Dallas
2018 #24 pick goes to Dallas

Portland Incoming:
Barnes from Dallas
2018 #5 pick from Dallas
Jaylen Brown 6’-7” PG from Boston
2019 #1 pick from Boston (Memphis)
2019 #1 pick from Boston (Sacramento)

Dallas Outgoing:
Barnes to Portland
2018 #5 pick to Portland

Dallas Incoming:
Kyrie Irving from Boston
Aminu from Portland
2018 #24 from Portland

Boston outgoing:
Kyrie Irving to Dallas
Jaylen Brown to Portland
2019 #1 pick (Memphis) to Portland
2019 #1 pick (Sacramento) to Portland

Boston incoming:
Dame

Yeh, I think I got it all :)

QUICK SUMMARY

PORTLAND takes advantage of moving Dame at his peak and receives Jaylen Brown, Harrison Barnes, two likely top-10 picks in 2019 and this year’s (Dallas) #5. [Then re-sign Nurk, Davis and Napier] Aminu’s loss is Collins’ gain in minutes at the 4.

....and how fun to dream about this year’s #5 pick AND two lottery picks in 2019! In two years we drop Turner and Nards contracts and can bring in a free-agent to round off a new, young roster - not to mention, we’d have CJ to keep or trade at that time.

Shoot, trade the Dallas #5 along with the 2019 Boston (Sac) pick to the Kings to move up to #2 and land Donocic!

Dallas obtains Kyrie Irving and Aminu losing only Barnes and their 2018 #5 pick - yet the do get Portland’s 2018 #24. So sweet play by Mavs.

Celtics - well, with Dame they become the powerhouse of the East for the next 3-5 years! True that they are giving up a nice package, but their roster would be solid!

Sure if you can get Curry with that 5th pick, Kawhi Leonard with one of the other picks, but NONE OF THESE DRAFTPICKS is a given to be anything other than a role player. Barnes and Brown are just that, role players. I'll pass on that one, but you gave a nice effort.
 
Draft:

- Crabbe TPE to Philly for the 26th pick, Bayless, and maybe even the rights to Lessort or Bolden.

- Trade our own pick, Turner, and Aminu to Detroit for Blake Griffin.

- Draft Hutchison. If we need to trade up a couple spots to get him do it. A second should get that done since I can’t see him going before 20.

Free Agency:

- Re-sign Nurk and Davis.

- Napier and Connaughton out.

- Sign Wayne Ellington using the MLE.

- Sign Vince Carter for the vet minimum.

Roster:

PG: Lillard, Baldwin, Bayless

SG: McCollum, Ellington

SF: Harkless, Carter, Hutchison

PF: Griffin, Collins, Swanigan

C: Nurkic, Davis, Leonard, Papagiannis

- Use two way deals for depth.
 
ATL Gets: Meyers Leonard, Caleb Swanigan
WAS Gets: Al-Farouq Aminu,
POR Gets: Ian Mahinmi, Markeiff Morris, Miles Plumlee (TPE), 15th Pick

NYK Gets: Harkless, Leonard, Turner, Layman, 15th Pick, 2019 POR 1st
CLE Gets: Courtney Lee
POR Gets: 9th Pick, George Hill, Joakim Noah, Lance Thomas

Draft Mikal Bridges 9th
Draft Chandler Hutchison 24th (Or trade up for him)

Lillard / Hill
McCollum / Hill
Bridges / Hutchison
Morris / Collins
Nurkic / Davis

You've got Leonard being traded twice, both to Atlanta and New York.

Also, I don't see the point of Atlanta being in the deal at all.

It's just a continuation of him taking offense to anything I post. I pretty much ignore most of his stuff now days. He's just a kid and hopefully he will mature.

Dude, there is no fucking way Boston would give you all that good shit just for Dame. They might not even trade Dame for Kyrie straight up let alone including 2 good 1st round picks and a rising star.

This trade proposal is completely asinine.

You forgot to change the font.
 
While the Lakers "like their young core and would prefer to keep those players growing together, they have told teams no player is untouchable in trades," according to Tania Ganguli of the L.A. Times.

The report states that Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram, Julius Randle or Josh Hart could all be had for the right price. This isn't shocking, as the Lakers have long been planning to make a major push for LeBron James and/or Paul George this summer. If it takes moving one of their young studs to make that happen, the Lakers won't hesitate.

The big question is "what's the right price"? When I hear a team say that, it usually means they are looking for a killing.

Yes it is , for the Blazers WHICH IS OWNED BY PAUL ALLEN. You wouldn't last to long as a GM if you go against the owners wishes.

You're not a good GM if you can't present your vision to the owner in a way that'll get him on board.

Its funny how the normal trade idea proposers catch flack, but then when other people suggest trade ideas it's stuff like Meyers for Jaylen Brown and (the free agent) Aron Baynes.

Ah fuck.

Its to send out enough salary by absorbing Plumlee with the TPE to be able to take back Mahinmi.
