    Don't jump to blaming NO for not getting Wilson. Denver probably didn't want to deal with Portland again.

    Bring back Pritchard!

    As for the Lillard rumor, the Lakers are making up other Hollywood-like rumors. They employ big PR firms in a psychological war on stars' minds to wear down their loyalty. Magic is a dirty player compared to Kupchak.

    For the short term obviously. In that hypothetical deal we’d be much better off long term

    That’s expensive for Exum. Utah seem invested in their current team.

    If said team didn't require draft considerations maybe?

    You guys are so in love with Dame it's unbelievable. CJ too, really. Portland's best option right now is to let one of them go to a win-now team in exchange for draft picks and young talent who fit Simons + Collins timeline.

    There's literally no reason to run it back with the same core; Golden State and Boston are about to run the league for the next several years. The only downside is fan interest and if it means less butts in seats I'm all for it. Allen and Olshey don't deserve the Moda Crowd after spitting out such mediocrity year after year. Maybe some changes would finally actually happen.

    Not sure where you got the 98th percentile defender part, so I won't challenge it, But it doesn't match what I saw.

    I think Kuzma's upside is actually rather limited.

    Dame's value to the franchise goes far beyond his on-court contributions.

    Those are my initial reactions
