    As long as his contract is better I'd do it too.

    If he gets a full MLE offer does anyone think the Warriors match? They have luxury tax issues and he normally doesn't play for them.

    He turned down 30 mil a year. You'd need it close enough to match Grant. I think it needs to start at 23/year to have a chance.

    Sounds about right for the Blazers. Evan Turner 2.0!

    wait...in the "Big Swing" thread we're talking about Kuminga? There should be a "Big Swing & Miss" thread

    Except he's not even in his prime and he's already shown to be very productive offensively. Both of which are very different from when we got Evan. Also, Kuminga is an elite athlete.

    Ok, Id trade Ayton, Scoot, Simons, Grant & picks for Banchero, Suggs, da Siva & salary match. At the very least an In the Park hr.

    Yeah, Banchero isn't going anywhere.

    We don't really even know what we have in the backcourt. Let's not jump the gun.

    After a season of Scoot and Shaedon starting we can reassess.

    If the Blazers truly want to play an uptempo style, I think Kuminga would fit in better than most of those discussed.

    Is there a difference? The whole thread is unrealistic. I thought that was the point of "Big Swing".

    Kind of mind boggling we still haven't tried that after multiple years of "building the team around Scoot and Shaedon" as Cronin said we were doing.

    There's a total of ONE player who had been on the Blazers roster longer than Sharpe.

    That is a helluva swing. I would love it. I think you knocked your reply to the OP out of the park!

    TRADE PROPOSAL (if we don’t get Flagg)

    Portland sends to Denver:

    Grant
    Scoot
    Williams III

    Denver sends to the Blazers:

    Gordon
    Porter Jr.
    2031 unconditional #1 pick (Denver’s own)

    ————-
    Ayton / Clingan / Reath
    Gordon / Walker* / Draft pick
    Camara / Porter Jr / Murray
    Deni / Sharpe / Thybulle
    Simons / Banton / Draft pick
    * or free agent signing vet PF

    This all but guarantees we would be a mediocre team for a long time.

    Yeah, but we fuck over Denver in the process, so that's cool

    ….why would we EVER trade Simons to Orlando for Black?

    the Blazers are going to need scoring. If Ant gets traded, it best be for a shooter.
