    We simply have to make a move this year at the deadline. It's not about this game or even this year. By choosing not to make a big move after last year's sweep in the playoffs if we don't make a move this year we have essentially wasted a year of Dame's window and it just snowballs from there the longer we wait. I would be so happy with the second round at this point which is kinda sad.

    Some random stats - CJs 2 for 14 fg was the 17th worst shooting night all time for a Blazer (14 or more attempts).

    Ugh. Well, the good news is that he has it in him to shot worse. He once went 1 for 14. So there's that......

    While a move would be nice, I don't want to end up mortgaging the future for now when unless its a blockbuster trade we aren't going to contend for a title this year. The Pelicans essentially did that with the Cousins trade and that might end up biting them in the ass hard.

    And then you always have to have one MFer who says "I'd be happy if Dame asked for a trade".

    Stupid post.

    In his defense they hardly went to him tonight. He was double figures in rebounds. I give Sac credit they play him tuff when he one on one but they definitely didn't play thru him

    I seriously hope there is a fight. Maybe something like that can get this team to get a little toughness.

    He plays for Sacramento, perhaps? California teams aren't known for being touchy-feely and nice.

    I can somewhat see where you are going with that but let's be honest a move would involve CJ and I don't see that as mortgaging the future. Now if it's CJ and Collins and Simons and multiple picks I could see the concern there. But I don't see how moving CJ alone changes our future much. Worst case scenario even without him I think we are still a first round and out team. Its frustrating and there is no easy answer other than its time to do something.

    Are you serious?!?!

    Then ran exactly ZERO plays for him. The guards abandoned getting him the ball after Dame made two terrible passes to the other team early. Even then, hes still trying to rebound and defend for everyone on our side. Lazy bastard? What the hell? What is he supposed to do.......?

    I don't think your going get a lot takers for CJ and his 25 million dollar contract in a trade. If you trade do it for the future.

    I agree. This loss was not on Nurk. Not even close. The scheme had everything to do with our loss tonight.

    And CJ. And Turner. And missed FTs.

    Do or die moments? We’ve won 3 straight OT games, 2 on the road.

    IF there was a fight. We'd sign a guy who was good at slapping for 70 million dollars, but didn't know how to punch or cover up.
