    Listen Bot, if you give up on Collins now only two things would happen since you'd trade him without getting full value most likely. Either Collins just isn't that good and it is fine that you traded him or he develops and you made a horrible trade. Whether you think Collins is going to be good or not you only trade him if you get a stud back otherwise I'd rather just keep him and not chance him turning out to be really good.

    Id trade Zach with 0 thought if thats what it took to get ET out...

    Edit: for the record this is mostly tongue in cheek, but I really, really want ET gone...

    It would be stupid to do so, but I'd rather waive and stretch ET's contract instead of attaching Collins to get rid of him.

    Keep: Dame/Nurk

    Use anything and everything else to get a legitimate 2nd star. Preferably a wing

    Keep Dame and Nurk. With obvious caveat that, if an upgrade to Nurk is available, like Davis, you move Nurk. I 'd move anyone else. Not HAVE to move. Not get rid of, but anyone else is movable in the right deal. But Dame and Nurk are my keepers. Nurk doesn't bring it every night, but his age, combined with productivity likes his chances more.

    Keep Damian Lillard. He's simply too good to ever be able to upgrade by trading him.

    I like CJ, Nurkic, Leonard, Collins and Aminu, but if an upgrade could be had I'd trade any or all of them.

    I don't really see much reason to be attached to any of the rest and would trade the lot of them for another group of marginals who may fit better.

    lmao! with all the goes on your lists, you might as well kiss Lillard goodbye as he isn't going to want to go through a complete rebuild.

    That could very well be the case! I do think with major changes Neil, Stotts and a bunch of players it will have Dame re-evaluating PTown.

    Right now I keep Dame, Nurk as starters and Chief and Mo as bench players...if CJ comes off the bench instead of starting I keep him and have CJ Mo and Chief in the second unit.

    Neil just sits around and masturbates to his own reflection, and tells himself how great he is for building a roster that earned the 4th seed.

    "Great shooters" haha. Great shooters are Reggie Miller, Ray Allen, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Steve Kerr, Larry Bird, Kyle Korver, Peja Stojakovic, Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Jason Terry.

    Lmao that this Iso chucker thinks he is a great shooter, if he would Shooting great, he wouldn't dribble dribble dribble dribble and then take a Bad contested shot all the time

    You can probably add Lillard to this list, i'm sure he will make 2000 3s at the end of his Career

    It take two or more teams to pull of a trade, but I would think the chances of a trade before deadline are pretty good. It may not be a block buster but hopefully one to better balance the roster.

    If any top 20 nba player is available at the deadline I say it’s time to take a chance and give whatever it takes outside of Dame, that means players and picks, to acquire him. We need a real second star to pair with Dame.
