    My guess....they want to trade him to the eastern conference and he wants a shot at a title

    Kind of relieved about Mirotic. We need bigger and better. I'm about protest in front of Moda if Neil doesn't get something substantial done.

    How does that work? They just got Johnson in trade; they shouldn't be able to aggregate him with Smith to trade him for Mirotic.

    That depends on how you view Harkless' contract. I would argue that a low value pick is a fair price to get rid of Harkless and rent Mitotic for the rest of the season. If we can get under the lux tax threshold, there is at least a slight chance something positive can happen during the off-season.

    The only good thing is at least he was sent east so the Blazers will not get killed by him in the playoffs like last year.

    I know what you said and the problem I have with it is Derozan was nowhere close to the level of Dame, in either talent or impact or importance to the franchise. Toronto wasn't trading their Dame, they were trading one of their two CJ's. That's a huge difference

    Which is appropriate, since (a) he really doesn't factor in because GSW was winning without him, and (b) we don't have a little bitch on the team to draw a parallel with. :)

    I'm not commenting on your argument at all - just making pithy comments around the edges.

    To be fair, we don't have any 2nd round picks till about 2024.

    Again, Bucks had expiring contracts to trade. We don't.
