    Speaking of players who have fallen.....so we would flip Cam if we got him? I was never as high on him as some....but there were a few here who wanted him badly. What happened? Injuries?

    Yeah, I think he's hurt quite a bit AND he's getting older. He's 28 now I think.

    I agree....I think there would be a wider, more vigorous market for DLo. A player who averaged 6.3 assists with a 3.1 assist/turnover ratio while shooting 42% on three's isn't common

    the problem with Grant for DLo + Rui is it bumps Portland to 2M OVER the tax line again. I have a hard time believing the Vulcans will sign off on that

    Easy to include Reath or another minimum contract to remain under the tax line.

    I think teams are tired of guards who can't play defense.

    I like the idea someone else mentioned of potentially using DLo(depending on his market as a player) to take on someone's undesired salary for more assets. DeAndre Hunter, Cam as mentioned. Max Strus maybe

    Yeah he's an expiring and he can still play. I think that could be valuable.

    I’ve always been enamored with him when he was healthy physically and mentally. He’s Draymond green on steroids minus the crazy but also not quite the IQ of Draymond. But you’re right he’s probably done (see I still couldn’t say he’s done for sure lol)

    barely...I think maybe by 200K..meaning they'd have no margin for any future trade or any signing

    it's pretty fucking pathetic that a team as bad as Portland is so damn close to the tax threshold. Mismanagement

    Insert picks from Lakers to us. Don't know Dallas' specific $$ ability after their signings. I know they've always talked about a DFS reunion. Nets said to be ok with returning Russel. Maybe they actually get Prosper back as a prospect? Then we'd shed salary and get picks. Lakers shed salary and get 2 rotational pieces. Nets shed a year off of DFS contract. Open up lots of cap space next season.

    I'd keep Thybulle. Rob isn't going to be reliable.

    Looking at Gabe Vincent's stats history, I am absolutely baffled as to why he was given $11m/year. Even his best year was pedestrian at best. He'd have to be an all-defensive team candidate to justify his deal. Almost feels like accepting him in the deal should be worth another swap.

    They also said they'd rather get a pick with Lavine than give up a pick for Grant. Let alone 2 picks for Grant. Starting at about the 37:00 minute mark. And they said that's the general feeling around the league as well.

    Not sure how much to trust any of that...

    LaVine is terrible. He doesn't play defense and his contract is massive compared to Grant. I don't see that happening at all.
