    My favorite AD destination not on the preferred list is Portland, even if I can’t make a fully functional argument for the Pels to trade him there.
    But let’s do it anyway.

    Start with C.J. McCollum and Jusuf Nurkic. Throw in picks from now until eternity and whoever else to take back Solomon Hill, but try to keep Zach Collins out of it. The Pels get to stay relevant, which isn’t enough of a return, but at least it’s something.

    My interest in this has less to do with New Orleans and more to do with the idea of Damian Lillard and Anthony Davis becoming a way-more-fun Stockton-and-Malone in one of the NBA’s most viable small markets. Rip City’s laid back vibe would also seem to be an ideal match for AD’s understated temperament.

    This is a shoot your shot trade. If AD isn’t feeling Portland long-term, turn around and flip him for the Celtics package this summer.

    There’s nothing stopping any team not on AD’s list from making this kind of move. Just a guess, but count on at least one mystery team suddenly emerging between now and Thursday.

    I'm going to answer the riddle anyway!

    The answer WAS: Not the Trail Blazers

    (Except for my boy Layman. He's a keeper.)

    Just curious. Are you adding a wing to the deck lid?

    No. The tape was for the key. Used trunk lid and new rear body panel. Tape key for ease of opening instead of fishing in pocket

    Has there been anyone else confirm this trade? I only saw the one guy from the LA media stating it's going to happen..... I haven't seen anything else, so I'm growing skeptical of the source.

    Getting our butt kicked last night by the Heat was probably a good setup for the trade deadline...fans will want to see changes even more after a loss like that
