    If I knew he was leaving, and that was the best offer, it would be stupid not to.

    So you know George is leaving?

    Or is it like so many knew Aldridge was staying?

    Riv... Vucevic can't even guard Centers. Let alone Power Forwards.

    Perhaps that might be a tad overstated. He's actually got the best defensive metrics on his (very bad) team.

    I'd cut Cleveland out & take PG for Portland.

    My question to Maroney as well.



    Dude on the radio thinks that George would bolt Portland after 1 year, but would re-sign in Cleveland, so it makes no sense for the Blazers to try to trade for George.

    Yeah no kidding. We are giving up everything to the Pacers, why wouldn't we take the better player? Unless their reasoning is KLove would stay in Portland and PG would not.

    That's precisely it. Radio guy thinks the Blazers are a premiere power forward away from being a contender, and says George will leave for LA next summer unless he's on a super-team with Lebron/Kyrie.

    Honestly, we are not going to get a player better than Kevin Love with our picks, most likely, and if it comes in pair with dumping Crabbe's contract, it's not a bad deal for us. I believe Cleveland could add someone like Shumpert to the deal (they won't need him if they get Wade, and there's a good chance they will).

    Shumpert will get over 10 mil per for the next 2 seasons. Not sure adding him to the package is a plus.

    I'd love Love. Dame/CJ/Turner/Love/Nurkic the passing from the bigs... i'd have to change my pants at halftime of every game.

    1. I want George. If successful w/ Dame/CJ/Nurk...he'll stay. Take the risk.

    2. Defense. Love doesn't have any.

    3. Age. Advantage, George. Advantage, Blazers.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    The offense would be fun to watch. But seeing the other team put Lillard's and Love's men into a pick-and-roll (or McCollum's and Love's) would be a nightmare. If the Blazers want to contend for a title, they need to shoot the moon for two-way players (either by making a risky trade for George or just trying to draft one or two). If we're comfortable saying that the Warriors will win the next few and we just want the Blazers to be entertaining and win a decent number of regular season games, trading for Love would achieve that.
