    Perhaps not. I was just giving an example of which I would rather have for 2 second rounders.

    Saric would be such a great pickup for the Blazers. He's going to rot in Minny. Birdbrain Minny coach doesn't utilize his skillset. Saric was on an upward path with the Sixers. He could be back on that path next to Dame and Nurk.

    I'm not so thrilled about giving up a first round pick for 30 games of Mirotic.

    Even if we shed Moe/Meyers in the process. Would much rather have someone like Saric.

    I would really like Saric as well. I wonder if MIN does it for the TPE + 1st round pick. Otherwise, I think Portland would have to take on another salary like Bayless for Harkless to make it work.

    Pacer fans chanting "Lebron's gonna trade you" whenever Ingram gets to the line.

    Hilarious. No wonder KD called it "toxic" to play with Bron.

    I'd be shocked if they get anything near that. He's been injured on and off all season. I'd honestly take Ariza over him for a short term rental.

    If that happened, talk about a logjam.

    A logjam of quantity....not necessarily quality. Thunderdome....best man wins!

    Still, I wouldn't bench Curry or Layman.

    If we trade our pick, Saric. He's still on a rookie deal and would be part of the long term plan if all went right.

    Saric shouldn't be taking any of Curry or Layman's minutes. He should be taking Aminu's and maybe some of Turner's.

    If we got Saric, he would need to start. That's all I know. I think his skill set would be great with the starting core.
