    I remember that occasion last year. I said before he is questionable team mate. That and one year left on his contract. The guy very talented and love to win but question how he leads though. Maybe playing with Dame will give him different mind set.

    Oh come on. If Woj doesn't report that Portland is interested in a player, then Neil is a bum. If Woj says Portland is interested, then Neil paid Woj, Woj is a liar and Neil is a bum. If Neil isn't quoted as saying he tried to get every player that gets traded, then Neil is a bum. If Neil is quoted saying he tried to get a player but they didn't accept our offer, then Neil is a bum. If Woj tweets that we tried to get a certain player, or that we were in the running for the player, then Woj is a liar, and Neil is a bum. If it's reported that Portland tried to make a trade or lure a free agent, and we don't sign him, then Neil is a bum, and he paid the reporter to lie. What don't you understand?

    :cheers:

    I googled "is jimmy butler an asshole" and now I feel like he is.

    Conversely, I googled "is damian lillard an asshole" and everything pretty much confirmed how cool he is...

    I'd love that trade. It doesn't sound like Minny will trade Butler without Dieng attached though.

    They'll likely have to choose between getting back a player of McCollums caliber and offloading Dieng.

    I get the feeling they'd rather get rid of Dieng, even if it means the return is slightly less.

    who would the wolves have to play the 4 if they gave up Gibson? I believe Dieng is a 5.

    Towns/Dieng can play the 4. They'd probably play Bates-Diop some, with Wiggins playing some small-ball 4.

    My guess is, that they're having an "auction". Maybe we offered Harkless, and they said hey, we've been offered Middleton, up your offer, or we're happy going in that direction.

    I cant wait for Butler to get traded for Middleton, and then for the people that say Middleton is better than McCollum to cry about how we could've given them a better offer by offering McCollum.
