    That would be 5 stars trolling.

    And I'd be here for it.

    I guess the awful way of looking at Grants signing if you're wanting to be as pessimistic as possible, is grant signed that knowing he's gonna be the #1 like Detroit and knew Dame was gone, and this dropping dimes dude is actually right.

    But fuck that narrative with a moldy stick, I say!

    Or… maybe Zach Lavine? Although I wouldn’t consider him a superstar. If we trade Dame to Miami there is absolutely nothing to get excited about coming back to us.

    The only one I see that would be very interesting is Jalen McDaniels and I think Philly is still working on a way to retain him. Or Plumlee, and I think Clippers are still working on retaining him.

    Joe has to be trying something bigger behind the scenes that is preventing him signing FAs yet. Or, guys simply are avoiding POR like the plague. Maybe he has made offers to guys like Hayes, Brooks, etc. and they just don't want to come here???

    I doubt it. Since NOLA declined Hayes' option they knew they were already signed him.

    No one is avoiding Portland. If vets want to come here their agents are on the phone with Cronin. About 98% of what goes on we never know about, just the final numbers.

    Is there a specific, league wide clause on any contracts’ trade abilities? Or is that written in per individual contract, as desired by team & player?
    Meaning, can any of these signings be used in a trade immediately, or is there a league moratorium, regardless of contract specifics?
    If not, I would assume all of the signings are good for Portland; more trade options out there?

    Were not signing free agents, we need a trade. Not sure why some are freaking out that other teams are signing players. We signed the guy we had to bring back and now its time to work up trades and i would think letting free agency pass allows for more trade options with known values.

    If it happens it’s gotta be a 3 team deal where Herro goes somewhere else and brings us more picks or bigs. Toronto still needs shooting maybe they value Herro more than Ant? Something with…

    Herro/Picks to Toronto

    Dame/Nurk to Miami

    Jovic/Jaquez/OG/Filler/PICKS to PDX

    I know that return doesn’t look sexy
    but…

    Scoot
    Sharpe
    OG
    Grant
    ?

    I mean most of the players would be on the same timeline. Ant would have to accept a 6th man scorer role though.

    When MM talks like that he is usually indicating he heard something.

    I’d bet Thybulle will be locked up to a new deal

    That’s just what the ouija board spelled out. It actually spelled out Dame is being traded to Miami at 1:04 pm, but I don’t really believe in that shit, so I paraphrased
