    Has had injury issues, can't shoot, and his dad is a nutbar.

    No thanks.

    he can shoot....not exceptionally but acceptably. And he averaged 25-5-7 last season after just turning 23.

    but yeah...injuries. He's only averaged 46 games for his career and only 35 the last 3 years. And he's on a 42M/year deal for the next 4 seasons

    and yeah, his dad is a total jackass

    but it's bleacher report so why think it has any basis in reality

    IF this is true and I have my doubts but if it's true that jack ass in the front office should be fired and I do not mean JUST losing a job -- I mean put there ass in a big fucking cannon and fire them far far far away. -- period

    I guess it just depends on what you consider acceptable shooting for someone who is going to make over 42 million a year for the next 4 years.

    I call it as I see it -- one thing I did not consider is his contract ( looking it up now ) -- OMG -- I stand by what i said it's even worse then Grants and at least Grant stays healthy for the most part.

    RR7 -- I may take things to the extreme but sit there and tell me I am wrong that trading for that bad contract and the fact his ass cannot stay healthy makes ANY fucking sense for this team ?? -- waiting with baiting breath cause there is no way in HELL you can tell me he would be a good trade target.

    good point; I did mention that salary....and when I look a little closer he really didn't shoot acceptably well, I guess, at least not last season

    Depending on the price, I'd love LaMelo on this team.

    They don’t « report » anything. They make stuff up.

    RR7 your entitled to your opinion but I do not agree -- but whatever -- life would be boring if we all agreed on everything.

    his lack of impact towards winning doesnt concern you? i understand his roster sucks and coaching has been iffy, but he doesn't seem like much of a culture setter.

    and we need him to be one if he's a foundational part of the rebuild

    Only way the Blazers would trade Deni is MAYBE for Giannis or someone of that nature but NOT for this package for sure.

    Like you said, his roster has been iffy, at best. So doesn't concern me a ton. Deni was never part of a winner, but we can see he easily has the tools to impact winning.

    Again, all depends on the price,of course

    I don't know why people even look at those sites. It would be like referencing BlazersEdge. They don't have sources. They don't know jack shit.
