    This is the 10,000th time you've posted that. Didn't you post it today in another thread? Either then or yesterday.

    Nobody in the league believes your stat, using the eyeball method. I watch free internet games, usually getting the opposing sportscasters, and they often ridicule our defense in embarrassing plays.

    Disagreeing is different than belittling. If this were a fight, you won this round.

    False. Neither of those guys are likely to be all-stars and wont represent Portland well, and those picks will be late 1sts. All for a super-star, 1st-team guy who's a great representative and wants to be here.

    You dont deal Dame right now. Offer CJ to the Lakers for something like Ingram, Deng and Ball. Then offer Dame to someone like Phx with a top 5 pick next year and Josh Jackson that may think Dame will put them into contention with Booker and Ayton.

    I would rather send CJ to Atlanta for a cache of picks.

    No. I am not thinking too much about right now.

    If you really think Lonzo, or Kuzma have all-star potential.
    Then you're more blind than the Portland homers who want to bring back the same roster.
    Lonzo Ball is projecting to be a lesser version of Ricky Rubio.
    How many all-star teams did Ricky Rubio make?
    Hell if Lonzo doesn't stay healthy this year. He gets even closer to being just like Ricky Rubio.

    Kuzma can score. But does that scoring make others better? Someone has to score on a shitty team.
    Ingram imo has more value than either Lonzo or Kuzma. While being the only one who projects at being a possible all-star in the future.
    Then you keep ignoring the fact that if you put Lillard with LBJ. That further drives down the value of the Lakers first round picks.
    It will put those picks in the 25-30 range. Those are awful first round picks, and awful value for Lillard.

    Basically your trade is either.
    #2 overall pick who projects to be worse than Ricky Rubio & a late first rounder for a multi allstar and all nba performer in his prime. Along with two late first round picks...
    Or
    Two #2 overall picks for a multi allstar and all nba performer in his prime. Along with two late first round picks.

    This is awful value if you look at the history of trading such players in their prime.
    Thankfully you're not the GM of any team... But you do have a chance... Just apply for the Nets job.

    I'd be open to whatever. I love Dame, but I also know he wants to win. He won't win with us as currently constructed. Unless Neil pulls off some shit and brings someone like Love here without giving up Nurk, CJ or Dame (I dont see that letting us beat GSW, but I'd take it to see us reach the 2nd round). I'd like to see Dame win somewhere.

    CJ or Dame are a perfect fit next to Lebron tbh.

    And what proof is that? Maybe you're just not good at evaluating talent withou stats. I use a combo of stats, observation and NBA analysts.

    What about Nurk?

    I'd like the thought of O'Quinn, Ellington, or Ennis.

    I don't know anything about Bjelica, but he seems interesting too

    If we trade Lillard to the Lakers, I'm no longer a Portland Trailblazers fan nor an NBA fan. I'll be done and over with it.

    I volunteer to inherit all your Blazer gear if that happens...just sayin'...but your post would've sounded better if you said if Lillard went to the Lakers, you'd move back to Portland
