    looks great on paper. I just question how much Nurkic and Davis would step on each other offensively. There would definitely be adjustments needed. But they'd be awesome defensively

    and if it was a poor mesh between AD and Nurk, then Nurkic is on a contract that would make him fairly coveted as a trade assets

    I think our only chance is if we include Aminu and get back Solomon Hill. Something like:
    CJ, Aminu, Zach, 2019 1st, 2021 1st for AD and Hill

    I would include either Simons or Trent too if they insisted. I don't think I'm being super biased when I say I think that is a pretty fair trade based on what other stars have recently been traded for.

    If there was ever a time for Portland to go at full risk, it is now.

    Team-wise, sure.

    Ownership-wise, who knows? Some people like to play it safe.

    The Bucks are on the short list. I wouldn't risk it if I were them.

    Milwaukee??? If Giannis and AD are on the same team, shut it down. We're all fucked.

    Giannis needs the ball in his hands. They would gut all their shooting in a trade. I don't think they would be lock coming out of the East over the Raps and certainly wouldn't beat Golden State.

    Woj is reporting it as a "handful" outside of LAL and NYK. Shams is saying Clips/Bucks. Think more teams would be on there if it were "a handful."

    Send him to the Clipps out of spite. They would be a lock for Kwahi in free agency.

    I still think the Blazers should roll the dice and go get him even if he might leave. Who knows if they could put together a package NO would want but that would add some excitement for the next two playoffs.

    If Davis thought New Orleans was a shithole of a city. He would hate it in Portland. New Orleans is much more fun, especially for a 25 year old. But if we make a deep run and make the finals, you never know. Lillard/Davis/Nurkic trio would be up there with the best.

    Wow. What a list. "One teams that is planning to make a run in free agency. Another team in the middle of a rebuild. And another team not named the Lakers, I just threw in there for the hell of it."

    I would think having a roster of Dame/Nurk/AD would be very attractive to a new owner and help the future sale.

    They don't even acknowledge the PNW so they probably just forgot to include Portland....
