CJ+Aminu+Simons+2019 1st

for

Griffin+Bullock+2019 2nd

I'd be hesitant to pull the trigger though.

 

Hes changed his game a ton, like I said. Much more likely to remain healthier now, and were going to have to take a risk on a star with some problems at some point if we want to contend.

Olshey won't do it.

 

Detroit would probably want Collins.

 

if he continues to play well, it's possible he gets offered more than a team without an owner and on the edge of the luxury tax is prepared to pay. A lot of teams will have lots of cap-space this summer...may be a seller's market

I will say his 3 point shooting has fallen off a cliff over the last 5-6 weeks; that might depress his value if it continues. He does have a high TS% but he may need to show a lot more in terms of rebounding and assists to get into the 3-6M/year range, especially if his 3pt% stays low

 

$5 Mil/year, maybe 6. No other team will pay him more than that.

 

Would he make us better? No. Not while on IR.
Does he have anger issues? YES. He grabs people by the neck and slaps them after they take photos.
He breaks his hand fighting TEAM TRAINERS...
Dating a Kardashian/Jenner? YES. Immediate dismissal from thought here....

 

Probably, but it'd be an easy no for me if that was the case.

 

Bro... Stop... He played 58 games just last season... On that BLOATED contract....

So I'm supposed to believe from last year to this one he's changed his game so much he won't get injured?

Have have swampland in Arizona for sale! Get it while it's hot!

 

Michael Jordan slapped Steve Kerr around a couple times. He also yelled at teammates. Good thing we never drafted him.

 

Jordan>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Griffin

 

Aminu and Baldwin for Julius Randle.

 

Jordan punched Steve Kerr.

And for those who don't know, I've always hated Jordan. Still do.

 

I thought I was the only one....after him every team threw boatloads of money at one guy hoping they'd be him and league parity went down the drain. I rooted for the Pistons and Jazz against Jordan in those finals

 

We need more trade threads.

 

What?!?

 

I still really like Collins, and Blake isn't good enough to mortgage the future.

 

Everytime I see this thought process I legitimately wonder what people think Zach’s upside is. He looks to me like he’ll probably be an ok starting C/PF. I dont really see him as more than that, and I dont really think he’s the “future” for the Blazers. Not that Im desperate for Blake either.

To me if some GM other than NO is willing to give you a star and its contigent on Zach, Id say goodbye to Zach without much hesitation. I think Zach is good, or has the tools to be good, but I dont think he will ever be “great”, could be wrong, I have been before.

 

Isn't it the point of this whole thing to win a championship? Blake Griffin would instantly get us a lot closer to that goal. By the time/if Zach is ready to go, Dame will be in his twilight... That is why drafted Zach was so frustrating: because we should be trying to win now. Remember the whole "career arc" stuff (man, I should not be quoting Olshey)? Blake fits better in Dame's career arc.

 

trading 2nd year Damian Lillard would be mortgaging the future. Trading 2nd year Collins not so much

 

Blake is a heck if a player with a lot of red flags. Seems to be a complete jerk... Cant stay healthy. So if a GM said were not really interested in him, than ok. Just to me trading Zach isnt mortgaging the future.
