    id like to clarify that im not saying that we should trade dame lillard, but if dame asks out (people change opinions and he clearly said after the la clippers game, regarding next season, that hes not here for building, espeacially at this stage of his career), so it might be putting pressure on the front office to land an all-star (caliber) player or he might be one foot out of the door already

    who would be your ideal trade partner (dame would have a list of teams where he would like to get traded to and trail blazers would probably trade him to some of those, he deserved that much)... im not talking about others players & picks, but just that one central piece we would build around going forward... would it be aleady an established player or some your player with upside

    YOU CAN VOTE FOR 3 PLAYERS !!!!!

    Jordan Poole being on this list offends my sensibilities.

    That said, I said Maxey, Brown, and Mobley.

    the only player i can think of that could replace jordan poole is michael porter jr, but i didnt put him in the pool cause of his health issues

    potential trade with the cavs would definitely include mobley/allen & garland, cause they need to match the money

    certainly something id look into

    trail blazers wouldnt want bane as a central piece and pacers are not trading haliburton (theyre rebuilding team)

    maybe kings would pull the trigger, i shouldve put fox in the pool

    likewise, potential trade with the nuggets would likely have to include both murray & porter jr

    Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. (with more or filler) would certainly get me thinking.

    if @SlyPokerDog can change it, better options for the pool would be:

    Allen & Garland
    Mobley & Garland
    Murray & Porter Jr
    De'Aaron Fox


    and to remove poole, KAT, mobley, garland

    Imagine actually writing those words. I don't read anything when I see it. I just laugh at them for only enjoying the team when they are bad.

    You can't possibly think Mobley and Garland is actually an option, right?!

    money has to be matched

    garland is about to get paid, allen already got his contract, another option for salary purposes is levert, but i dont really have an interest in him

    anything other than mobley/garland or allen/garland and i have no interest in making deals with them

    if he asks out, dame would definitely prefer 76ers or the celtics

    surely, hed like to go to the bucks and play with giannis, but theres no good trade for trail blazers there

    its trade idea, teams do that you know, sometimes both teams are happy and they make a deal and sometimes one team is not happy and theres no deal

    Finding a team with not only matching salaries, but young talent and draft capital that would want an aging superstar hurts my head
