    So it's not smart to think Anthony Davis isn't coming to Portland?

    I care about their feelings. I don't want any mopey faces when we don't end up beating out teams he wants to go to that have younger players and better draft picks

    I don't know about Porzingis being better. He was on his rookie deal and had a serious knee injury. Him threatening to take the qualifying offer was a bitch move too.

    I agree that AD's agent shouldn't have gone public with things but I'd much rather deal with the fall out from that then thinking this whole time that AD would sign his super max extension and stay with the team only to bail when that time came.

    But you do want to derail another thread.

    Take it with a grain of salt, much of this could be from his mouthpiece Rich Paul.

    Weird, isn't it? He could want to go to the Clips or Nets, be in the cities he likes, and have a chance of being competitive as well. Instead, he targets the Fakers and Knicks? :dunno:

    Could just be his agent trying to steer him to LeBron. I mean, that’s his client as well. I don’t know about the Knicks part, maybe they think they’ll land KD?

    You left out the part where Russia hacked him into doing it. Russians hacking into things is the primary reason anything ever happens and it really paints a different picture when you leave part that out of it. Watch Rachel Maddow, learn something.

    How is talking about the topic of a thread derailing it?

    You seem to be derailing it more by saying I'm trying to derail it.

    This happens to several here. We talk about the thread, but with a different point of view, then someone calls that person a troll and says they are derailing the thread. However, the person who actually derailed it is the person who accused the person of being a troll for having a different point of view.

    If you want inclusion then you need to raise them hopes up buddy. You are pushing yourself into isolation with your current stance. :)

    Saw this trade proposed on another site, thoughts?

    Portland gets AD and Nic Batum,

    Hornets get ET and Moe

    Pelicans get CJ, Zach, Hornets #12 pick and Blazers #25

    We keep Nurk to play along side AD and clear ET and Moe's salaries.

    Your contribution to this thread has been different variations of “it isn’t happening.” We got it the first time.

    Hope we can get Davis while keeping Ant, Lillard, and Nurk.

    I am brimming with hope, but doubt it would happen. I don't know if it's because I've become a pessimist, or a curmudgeon.
