|| Official || Trade Deadline Thread

Not surprised that there's no mention of the Trail Blazers in any of these rumors. Neil plays his cards close to his chest. If anything happens, expect it to be out of left field.

 

Nate....thanks for the update, good stuff.

Here is a Trade Primer from Woj. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/front-office-insider--trade-deadline-week-172233202.html

 

So supposed Oladipo and Tobias Harris are available.

Is that a combo of players we would be interested in? If you plugged those two guys into our starting lineup, are we a better team?

 

The only thing that Oladipo is better at than CJ, and I mean pretty much only damn thing, is defense.

There fans are smarter than their front office and if they want to win now...

 

Harris seems too expensive for not being a real difference maker. Oladipo is kind of intriguing, mainly because of his defense and he complements CJ since he attacks the rim so strong. You really couldn't ask for a better backup PG. Would there be any room on the team for Crabbe if we had Oladipo? Can Crabbe play much as a SF? Oladipo is a hell of an athlete, and his 3 pt shooting is on an uptrend. What would he cost and why would they be getting rid of him?

 

I could see this happening, with a bunch of picks going from the Celtics to the Knicks as well.

If the Blazers are involved in anything, I think it will be absorbing someone like Lee to save a team luxury tax, and getting picks in return.

 

LoL if Willie- Cauley Stein, Ben McLemore and Collision, changing the situation and they were Blazers would you do it?

 

Obviously anyone who wants a trade wouldn't do it the opposite way. If that was the case they wouldn't make the trade in the first place.

 

You should go listen to Olshey on Woj podcast then. He says the first thing he does before offering a trade is look at it from the other teams POV. He said he wants both teams to benefit from a trade and doesn't even propose anything that one sided for fear of not getting a callback on future deals.

 

NO one makes a trade without believing its a benefit to them and all trades require two sides. All trades are made with both sides feeling mutually beneficial or it doesn't go down.

 

Jokic/Barton/Gallo/Faried/pick?

If that's what LA asked for I don't think we have a shot.

 

They want Denver to gut their team. It's hilarious.

 

They were also asking Denver to take on Stevenson.

 

Pg: Mudiay
Sg: Harris
Sf: Miller
Pf: Griffin
C: Nurkic

They must be pissed at Blake.

 

If I was Denver I would do it if they took out Jokic

 

He's the best prospect in the entire package. LA hangs up.

...just like Denver did.

 

Add nurkic instead

 

That's different. You said put those guys (WCS, McLemore, Collison) on the Blazers, and asked if I'd trade them for Aminu and Henderson. I was saying obviously if I'd trade Aminu and Henderson for them, then I'd prefer those 3. Therefore I wouldn't trade those 3 for Aminu and Henderson.

From their POV it's a different story. I have no clue how much they value WCS and Collison

 

Idk, Draco had a proposal with them getting Horford, Meyers, Kaman, and Henderson which rivals that package
