    @PtldPlatypus Tell your boy Brian Noe that Tom Haberstroh didn't make any sense. Getting Whiteside actually makes it easier to trade for Love or Porter Jr. He was trying to say this eliminates us from those guys if they become available later in the season.

    Ahh...I wasn't listening. Thats a silly take by Haberstroh. Whiteside for Love works straight up.

    This is brilliant and if everything goes well I could see this being what Olshey is hoping for:

    1) Whiteside fills in nicely for Nurk keeping us in the thick of the race for a top seed in the West.

    2) After making stupid moves this summer Chicago is still not close to making the playoffs.

    3) Nurk is ready to start contributing more around the trade deadline or if he isn't Collins/Skal/Vet Min Big have been playing well enough to where we can afford to trade Whiteside.

    4) Whiteside and a 2020 1st are traded for Otto Porter Jr at the deadline.

    Blazers turn Harkless, Leonard, and a pick into Otto Porter Jr while also covering 2/3 of the season while Nurk is out. Chicago gets out of having to pay Porter Jr on a crappy team and get a pick for it.

    I don't see us trading Whiteside. I think we will need him until 2020-2021.

    That's what I'm thinking too. That'd be beautiful. Tweet it and I'll retweet it.

    And then they could try to do Bazemore, Collins, Layman, Trent, 2022 & 2024 1sts, and future 2nds to trade for Blake Griffin, keeping Simons, Hood, and hopefully Little.

    Lillard / McCollum / Porter Jr / Blake / Nurkic - That would be the #1 team in the NBA and the best starting lineup in the league.
    Simons / Hood / Little / Skal would be a solid bench, but Portland would also be a big time player in the buyout market for any big man that became available.

    I don’t care if the Blazers and Nurk are ready or not. If we can get Otto Porter Jr. at any time we should get him.
    It’s very unlikely any of our forwards will ever shoot the ball as efficiently as he does as consistently as he does.

    Gary Trent Jr. for Willy Hernangomez makes too much sense at this point.

    I wonder if Portland could find an asset by using Jake Layman going outwards in a S&T (since sign-and-trading players outward doesn't hard-cap the team).

    If a team with cap-space makes a push for Layman, Portland could possibly agree to give that team Layman in a S&T (where Portland would otherwise match).

    Then Layman would count as outgoing salary and Portland could try to involve a 3rd team and get a player back elsewhere.

    So if Layman signs for $5.5M, then Portland could trade:
    Layman and get back $6.98M

    TARGETS - Juan Hernangomez (DEN), Nemanja Bjelica (SAC), Aron Baynes (PHX), Dwight Howard (WAS),

    TARGETS if Layman signs for $5.52M or more - Davis Bertans (SAS), Ersan Ilyasova (MIL)
    Layman and Trent and get back $8.75M / Layman and Skal and get back $9.90M

    TARGETS - Jae Crowder (MEM)
    Layman, Trent, and Skal and get back $11.68M

    TARGETS -John Henson (CLE)

    I agree unless something terribly goes wrong (i.e injuries) and we go into a tail spin that forces us to tank for the last part of the year.

    I HAVE to believe he's worth more than that. But in theory, yes.

    Love the idea of Juan Hernangomez, but I can't see Denver giving him to us.

    At next years deadline if Nurk is looking good, Det and Cle suck, and Neil is feeling ballsy...

    E9D99051-127E-42FB-8ED0-B3C43396256F.jpeg

    Dame/Simons
    CJ/Trent
    Porter Jr/Hood/Little
    Griffin/Zach
    Nurk/Skal

    That’s a contender.

    So flip Collins and Skal then on his rotation.
