    Hypothetical question. Where do we rank next year if we trade Vonleh, Plumlee and 2 first round picks for Boogie?
    Lillard, Henderson, Aminu, Cousins, Leonard backed up by Pressey, McCollum, Crabbe, Davis and Kaman is a playoff team imo, but how does it compare?

    Like the 13/14 team. A good starting 5, a shallow bench, a quick playoff exit and nothing left to build the future with. Same shit, different season.....

    I hope Neil gives 'em a call and says something to the effect of:

    Hey - we know you're looking to get rid of DMC. We're interested and we think we can put together a package that you'll like...how does Player A/B/C sound to you? But let's see how things shake out until mid-December, when we're able to more freely trade our players. If you get an offer you like before then I'd appreciate a call to see if we can work something out.

    That will give us time to evaluate some of our key new players, and we can build value in the players we want to trade while limiting minutes on guys we want to keep. And perhaps a guy we would currently include in the trade - say Plumlee for example - proves to be exactly what makes the team work, and then we can scrap or revise the trade.

    I am not saying Leonard and Vonleh. I am saying one or the other in combination with the other players I mentioned

    I got that. And I think it's still way too much for a head case and a streaky shooting guard. At the moment (at the very least) Henderson is a better shooting guard than McLemore. If BM can't get it done on a crappy team like Suckstomucho, he ain't gonna get it done in Portland. And Cousins? We've had more than enough knuckleheads in red and black over the years. I just don't see him having the necessary focus to lead us to the promised land. I'd rather take my chances with the guys you propose to trade.

    If Neil trades for Boogie, the deal will have to include Leonard

    Really? You wouldn't consider Vonleh+Plumlee>Leonard?

    It's still too much. Three of our bigs plus CJ? Nope - I'm not on board.
