    Why have AD/Dame when you can have AD/Dame/Nurk?

    I know which one I would choose.

    I’m including CJ with Nurk so I don’t think he’d be part of the rebuild, honestly if you go for it and get AD and he leaves ur not “starting” a rebuild around a 30 year old Dame either. If AD doesn’t stay you take it to the foundation imo.

    Neither is probably good enough on its own to beat the GS currently but AD/Dame gets you out of the 1st round guaranteed.

    I think the Blazers will get Marc Gasol tomorrow and try for a twin towers thing and i think the fact the Blazers have been linked to him says they are thinking same thing. Having 2 big guys who both can go inside and outside will really open the offense for shooter like Dame , CJ and Hood and others.

    I have to be honest i am not sure how the deal happens cause i have played with the ESPN trade machine and there are some obvious combo's of Blazer players but not sure Memphis would want them so IF it happens might need a 3rd team.

    Fair enough. Best thing is we've yet to see his best IMO. He's gonna do nothing but get better. I think he has such a high ceiling.

    Btw don’t expect a Blazer player to break anything too far ahead of Woj. He’s got Olshey on speed dial, guarantee he would know within minutes.

    Of course you would take all 3 but how do you get a top 5 player without giving him up? This CJ/Zach talk is delusional. It would take CJ/Nurk/2 1s and they probably still say no.

    Id trade Nurk, he’s a very solid player and I love the offense going through him. AD’s legitimately a top 5 talent though (at least in my opinion), perfect solution I wouldnt want to Add Nurk but if thats what it took I would do it.

    How many teams have had 2 current first team all nba players on it? That’s not worth Nurk???

    I know that. And I'm saying that's not a very smart thing to do. Those two cannot win us a championship in the West; you need more than that. So keep Nurk.

    ....what? Who else besides Dame are we going to start it around? Layman? Chief?

    You want 30 year old Dame and nobody else of note? That's a surefire way to get him to leave for a supermax somewhere else. Which would be incredibly stupid.

    Bullshit. My original offer, which I've been adament about all this time, is CJ, Turner, Collins, and maybe (or preferably, IMO) Simons, plus 2 or 3 firsts.

    New Orleans would be insane not to take that, and we would still have a respectable bench, and 3 top-tier players. Dame, Davis, Nurk, Layman/Seth, Chief.

    I'd take that over Davis, Dame, Leonard, Seth, and Chief.

    Why nobody sees this is beyond me. Why the holy hell would we leave Dame all alone when Davis leaves? He'd have NOBODY to build around. At least with Nurk, we'd still have something, and he'd still be young too.

    Why would a rebuilding team looking to get young and start over take Evan Turner and that contract? He almost has negative trade value.

    What about Gallinari? Still under contract for another year...

    God I wish ET and Meyers would have gotten 3 year contracts... (I mean neither should have gotten any contract, but i digress)
