    Lowe did the same thing in his podcast today. Said we aren't ever in the conversation for big name guys and don't have the cachet. But apparently Utah and Denver do

    Only way LA gets him is if they offer up both Ingram and Kuzma. But if you offer up those two, along with guys needed to match salaries, what are they left with?

    I think a lot of it has to do with the assumption that CJ isn’t available and that he’s the only foundational piece Portland has outside of Dame. Then again no surprise when our own social media team campaigns for CJ to get to the all star game while completely ignoring Nurkic.

    Lakers pretty much come down to what the Pelicans think of Ball, Ingram, and Kuzma

    76ers if they include Ben Simmons would be impossible to beat but in terms of New Orleans wanting to remain competitive they don't have that good of offers.

    Knicks would have to include Porzingis and even if they did is his injury concerns gonna scare the Pelicans off?

    Who the heck do the Raptors or Rockets have that would be worth them trading AD?

    Clippers are an interesting one but would they be good enough for AD to stay?

    Could the Rockets trade CP3 for AD?

    Shoutout to Jacoby for putting us on the list. Swap Nurk with Collins and you gotta deal

    It doesn't work straight up since Paul makes $10 million more (insane) than AD but they could in theory be part of the package.

    Why the fuck would New Orleans do that though?

    Nothing would disgust me more than a Harden/AD team up

    Almost every single package ive seen I ask the same question why would NO do it... I think the answer is, they wont and will wait til the smoke settles from FA this summer.

    Because in the national media’s eyes he’s our only foundational piece not named Dame.

    If I was NO no way I’d trade him till Boston was involved, but then again if I was NO I wouldn’t trade him to the place he was trying to force his way to under any circumstances.

    But I’m oldschool

    Why would that change other than players name. Davis would be a foundational piece wouldn't he so it wouldn't change other than the name of the player.

    No, he said we don’t get into these kind of conversations, like Olshey doesn’t take these risks.

    Wow, he’s not wrong actually. Probably the only GM stupid/ egotistical enough not to get involved

    I’m just tired of watching seemingly every other good team in the fucking conference try and get better. When is it our turn?

    Well, probably because it fits in his narative to get all worked up over every trade rumor and bash Olshey for not making a trade that likely was never available, lol.

    Are you trolling or do you have trouble comprehending what people are trying to say? I wasn’t even talking about Olshey.
