    You’re right, it’s much more fun to fantasize about blockbusters that could net us the great George Hill or other SCRUBS like that. Roster deconstruction, it’s time. Unless you enjoy reliving the same weak sister playoff runs year after year??

    Draymond isn't getting traded, especially here...

    Haha. George Hill would make us a better team. Its better to consider options of things that could actually happen then things that cant. Dont get mad at me because you're being insanely unrealistic.

    I don’t give a shit about all these washed up bench vets everyone likes to type 1000 words about.

    Real franchises trade for stars or future stars. We are talking about more bench pieces. Guess what, the bench wasn’t the problem in the playoffs, it was our “stars”

    George Hill would not of made one fucking difference in the playoffs, not one. We don’t even lose 4-1 with him. Gtfo

    Actually my whole point was that neither your trade proposal nor LeBron coming here have any chance of happening. Why would GS want Nurk and the 24th pick? Don't post a stupid trade and then put down other people's realistic ones.

    Dude, what is your deal? Everyone here would want to acquire a star or a future star but until you actually present a realistic way to get one it's really lame to just say that like it means something.

    In case you didn’t read them all, 95% of every trade proposal that’s ever been posted here was stupid.

    I'm not trying to tell you what to do but how does contributing to the problem by posting one of the stupidest (BoomChakaLaka has you beat) trades helping that?

    I just want this roster blown up and for people to stop making excuses for the great character guys we have on our roster. It’s sports, it’s about winning, not who looks like they would make a great friend.

    The offseason should be the time for dreaming(Dray) not settling(Hill)! Everyone knows settling time for Blazer fans doesn’t start till the trade deadline.

    That's fine and there are plenty of discussions about the blow up approach on here. I'm not trying to be the reality police but it's really annoying when people are like why don't we just trade for Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid like those guys are available or something. I like when the discussions are actually possible. Even though we both know a blowup isn't happening it's still fun to talk about what that would look like but to just read someone say they need to blow it up to be a real franchise isn't really adding anything to the discussion.

    I suggest you read the thread "You be the GM"

    I don't want to speak for him but almost every trade proposal I've seen that Bones has presented is to get a higher pick in the draft. Hill is a contract that is bad and could allow us to move up by taking it on and he can fit a role as a backup combo guard. Both Bones and myself want to find that young star in the draft as that is the most realistic way to get said talent on this roster.

    Even if GS was trading Green the pieces we could potentially want from them for him like a CJ would be something GS wouldn't want. There is also this thing called the salary cap so GS can't Sign-and-Trade this summer anyway. It's literally impossible unless Durant leaves for nothing.

    I don’t like having discussions about fixing the team by adding George Hill or Delly before the offseason has even officially began. I’ll spend my words on unrealistic trades if that’s ok. Call me a dreamer I guess.
