    Brook and Giannis for
    CJ Trent Collins Little Simons and PDX first round picks in 2020 2022 2024 2026 and MIL has rights to swap in 2021 2023 2025

    That would be about as costly to PDX as possible to make it.

    Dame
    ?
    Ariza
    Giannis
    Nurk - Brook

    Ok I don't think I would do that...the Blazers would not contend over 82 games with that depth chart, as well as have the worst draft picks in NBA history.


    But I agree its crazy to hear PDX in these rumors!

    That’s my dream trade and it’s actually becoming more and more realistic by the day haha. I would trade the whole team beside Dame and if possible Trent too. The dame/Giannis duo would be the best combo since Kobe/Shaq

    Dame was 4 games behind the #1 seed in 2018-19. But I hear you.

    Nate McMillan hasn’t coached any team to the conference finals and he has coached a LONG time.

    Bucks forum: damn Bud sucks. Would you trade him for the Blazers coach who got them into the playoffs with all those injuries?! (Resounding Yes)

    Yeah the positions have most certainly changed a bit. A month ago you could have asked in here if the Blazers could get Bud it would have been pretty much unanimous and resounding YES!

    Nate has been a head coach for 16 years and has a winning percentage of 0.529

    Stotts has been head coach 12 years, & has a winning percentage of 0.510

    Both are in the same tier of coaches. Mediocre.... Stotts made it to the conference finals one time - where they got swept. Not exactly an achievement worth of accolades.

    "I can't believe this guy's rotations!" "He's wasting Dame's prime years!" "I told you all we should have kept Stotts." "We gotta fire this guy and hire Dwayne Casey."

    No thanks.

    I find it interesting that everyone thinks he stinks, but he has a better career W-L record than Stotts!

    edit: Stotts .510/.344 Donovan .608/.439

    I think part of it is because he had 2 all-nba players (1 former MVP) on his roster last year and couldn't get out of the 1st round. I don't believe Stotts has even had more than 1 all-star on his roster at any point.

    He had Dame and Aldridge as all stars in their last 2 year together. They were a title contender in 2015 until Wesley went down. Unfortunately that was the last time the blazers were a legit title contender cause dame haven’t had an all star teammate since

    It's tough to not exceed [very low] expectations when you have Chris Paul running the show.

    So, just like Stotts with Dame, but more successful?
