    We had no shot at getting Wood so pretty irrelevant to us acquiring Roco or not.

    Why would Minnesota or Indiana do that?

    "WE" might not be, but the Blazers might very well, Stray Puddy.

    Texas froze over last year. That's pretty damn close.

    Bet you $500 we don't win a championship next year if you are that confident.

    I'm poor. I had to move back to Colorado so i could share the rent. Plus i have cats, and when you turn your back , they tend to be not very trustworthy.

    Agree about Indy not really wanting CJ, but rather than Minny, I was thinking that Toronto was the ones who got robbed in that. Wolves get Siakam and a first for KAT (who supposedly wants out), and adds a solid defensive center in Nurkic--that's not a bad reimage of their roster.

    If Olshey just pulled off these two trades I would be ecstatic. No I don't hate Nurk, I just don't like his fit with Simmons.

    That feels like a massive overpay for Boucher.

    Except what you're really paying for is the ability to put a quality shooter at the 5 alongside Simmons, as well as a backup PG (I know it's hard to recognize those since we haven't had one here in forever...)

    Probably don't need a backup pointguard if you get Simmons.

    They’re not gonna trade Malachi Flynn I don’t think. He’s gonna be good. Nice young piece, akin to maxey. More than a throw in.

    Nurk would be great next to Mr. Nightlife. Trading Nurk in that scenario leaves a major whole in the frontcourt. Pass!

    On defense, sure. On offense, it would be worse than Joel Embiid.

    no it wouldn’t. Nurk is a much better playmaker than Embiid, even while being shackled by Stotts. He’s also improved as an outside shooter, albeit on low volume. I doubt he’s a 40% shooter with more looks, but there’s no reason he couldn’t be as good of a shooter as Embiid. He also doesn’t clog the paint with touches. Nurk is a role player that can feature more. Embiid is a straight feature player that demands the ball.

    I see these trade ideas and keep thinking we're always overpaying. Then, when someone points out that we're overpaying, the person proposing the trade seems to come back offering to add even more Blazers' assets to sweeten the pot ....

    Right now it doesn't matter what we pay, it matters what we get. If we have to "overpay" to put the best team on the floor, so be it.

    Boucher protects the paint on defense. The thing he does on D that Nurk can't is get out on the perimeter and then recover to still protect the paint. On offense the guy either hits spot up threes or he cleans up... not as dynamic as Nurk but would be more of what we need. Simmons is close to as big as Nurk. No holes would be left IMO.

    Simmons and Nurk together on offense would be redundant and I don't see them as a fit. I also think that while Nurk is a first class defender in the paint, he isn't mobile enough for certain aspects of today's game. With the roster we have now and if we just add a better forward that doesn't have all of the unique skills of Simmons... I would keep Nurk for sure.
