    Are you suggesting that merging this thread into the "Around the NBA" thread should be my first official moderation action?

    I'll let this thread roll for about another hour or so, assuming it gets activity, and then do precisely that.

    I wouldn't merge.

    Looking at the Forum's home page, you see the big news in the thread titles. The trades are big news, no?

    Blake Griffin is a superstar, and a blockbuster trade makes waves throughout the league, and significantly impacts the likelihood of other teams, including the Blazers, making subsequent deals. Mirotic is....not.

    But I'll defer to your judgment.

    It's still news of interest, IMO.

    Wow, didn't think that Asik contract was tradeable.

    Need to see protection on NO pick.

    Are you insinuating that his wings have been clipped by PA & his power/responsibilities has been limited?

    My thought of course was that it affects the Blazers directly in 36 hours as a future opponent, but feel free to move without objection :hello:

    I don't know who else is out there and while Im not an Olshey fan Im not gonna bash him because of this move the Pelicans made. But I firmly believe we really should be shopping Napier and seeing what we can get. I'm not sure we could or want to try to afford him in free agency next season with Dame and CJ both here.

    Because Olshey offered up that near 20 PER of one Meyers Leonard. Irresistible!

    It's also a trade involving the team we are currently tied with in the standings and will be battling for a playoff seed.

    Harmless and a 1st for Mirotic.

    Harmless and Leonard and a 1st for Mirotic.

    Harmless and Vonleh and a 1st for Mirotic.

    Asik has another year left on his deal, so the Bulls aren't exactly dealing for something like an expiring deal.
