    He's the ultimate homerun swing, that's for sure. Young enough and talented enough to drastically accelerate either/both timelines, but if you're struggling to get right around CP3 and Monty Williams, you'd really have to wonder if Dame (or god forbid a Dame-less Blazers) would be able to get him to turn the corner.

    I made the case that at his worst, Ayton is roughly as productive as what we have in Nurk, a better fit for what Chauncey wants to do and obviously brings immense upside that Nurk doesn't, so I wouldn't mind it personally, but he's definitely still a gamble. If we could do Nurk, Nas, Keon and Knox (which works in Fanspo) I'd feel a little more comfortable doing that. Ayton replaces Nurk; Murray replaces Nas, Keon and Knox aren't needing to be replaced...

    This rumor seems believable on its face because Morey demands such crazy shit but then you think about the fact that these are two centers that didn't play well together that he supposedly wants to add to his best player under contract... another center. At least without a third or fourth team this rumor doesn't make any fucking sense.

    might have been a Morey demand. It sure wasn't an Olshey offer

    Morey is delusional. Harris is a nice player. Hasn't worked out in Philly the last couple. Probably could use a new home. But why in the hell would Cleveland do that. Morey's ear should still be ringing from getting the phone slammed on him.

    Harris is not worth even close to that.

    Good for them. They desperately needed centers.

    That's just ridiculous. Makes no sense. Unless Kat is gonna be on the move.

    I doubt there will be takers for Goober with the shenanigans he's pulled in Utah, and now Minny , at his salary.

    Don't think we can trade a future first until we convey the Bulls one, right?

    Correct. We would have to resolve that situation first.

    I wouldn’t mind KAT for Nurk/ant/pick if we could somehow get a junkyard dog type of PF that can rebound and defend.
