Trade Idea Favale: Blazers Should Trade Meyers Leonard, Noah Vonleh to Bulls for Nikola Mirotic

Chicago has a serious problem that needs to be dealt with.

So, Portland solves those problems and gives up an additional 1st rounder for the pleasure? Bledsoe was obtained for a 1st rounder.
This guy must be a bigger homer than I am, and that is saying something.

More reasonable is Mirotic for Vonleh + Biebs.

I don't know much about Justin Holiday. I am interested in getting under the tax threshold.

 

Let me rephrase. Every team in the NBA has Chicago over a barrel, because they desperately need to make a trade
for chemistry reasons, and the proposed trades suggests Chicago has us over a barrel.

Put another way, Bleacherreport, lol.

 

Sometimes I just wanna wap your posts upside the head, I swear.

 

Bleacher Report. LOL

 

Chicago can't trade him until January 15th. That's a long time to wait.

 

This is a bad trade in my book. Mirotic really can't play D. He is slow afoot. And his shooting is no better than Aminu.
Meyers needs more time this year to improve his trade value. And there will be better options by Jan 14 when all this could actually happen.

 

Even better......Blazer's Edge took that story and ran with it.

Such morons on that blog. As well as the fool that came up with this trade. This trade assumes that Chicago is trading in a position of advantage. They have the advantage of nothing here. We'd be doing them a huge favor, not the other way around.

No way we trade Vonleh. Has nobody seen how good Nurk is playing with Vonleh on the court? It's night and day compared to how the season started.

No way we give up a first either. I like what people have said: send Meyers back home with Layman and a second. Nothing more than that.

 

Given Chicago's history with stretch 4's/bigger threes. I don't want to see Mirotic on the Blazers ever.

 

Am I crazy about this trade? No not really, but on the other hand I don't think Vonleh is in Olshey's long-term plans and I know he wants to unload Meyers' albatross contract. Mirotic is on a shorter deal, he definitely needs a change of scenery and he's not untalented.

I dunno, I'd go for it, if the Blazers don't have to part with a 1st round pick.

 

Would we be more comfortable giving up Harkless instead of Vonleh?

That would sting. I like Harkless. But Nurk plays better with Vonleh on the court. Vonleh brings more to the table than Harkless.

 

I don't think Biebs contract is an albatross, anymore. ET, more so.

 

What do you think @Denny Crane?

Mirotic was your guy.

 

You can't program the bot with posts. You need to hack that shit bruh...

 

I agree. This trade is way lopsided.
You have a first and second round pick, Layman and Meyers.
For Mirotic and Holiday who the Blazers would probably waive hoping someone picks him up for cap relief. Very one sided and the Bulls simply are in a huge bind. They have to get rid of him because he isn't working out there.

 

The Bulls need to fluff up a trade...we're not desperate and they have the problem in the locker room....I don't want either of those guys for anybody mentioned...Meyers has played better and if he does that again...rebounds...he'll build some trade value and bring in a better player at the deadline..some teams are going to want to change directions mid season and 3 pt shooting bigs are marketable...a true scoring 6th man coming off the bench would be a good Meyers trade

 

That Bleacher Report is sure some little tiny operation!

The owner of Bleacher Report also owns Cartoon Network! Figures!

(I omitted that Turner Broadcasting System also owns NBA.com, CNN, operates NBA TV for the NBA, etc.)

(Up the ladder, Turner's owner, Time Warner, owns Warner Bros., HBO, the Comedy Channel, etc.)
