Exclusive 2019 Trade Deadline Thread

Oh shit, he called jabari

 

Naw, it's like saying CJ is Portland's Klay. Which, IMO, is apt.

Dame is our Curry.

 

Knicks or someone else in our division.

 

Sure, assuming that the Pelicans don't have a better offer that they're considering.

This time last year, the Trail Blazers were rumored to have eyes for then-Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic. The hypothetical acquisition would’ve given Portland the floor-spacing it needed and it would’ve allowed Al-Farouq Aminu to slide back down to his natural small forward position.

The Pelicans ultimately ended up with the now-27-year-old (he’ll be 28 later this month), but they find themselves as sellers following Davis’ trade request ahead of Thursday’s deadline.

As far as what Niko would do for the Blazers…nothing has changed. Portland is 18th this season in three-pointers made and just 20th in attempts. He’s shooting a respectable 36.8 percent from deep on the year, but his stroke is even better than the numbers suggest, as it was just last season he knocked down 42.9 percent during his shortened stint with the Bulls.

Mirotic has also proved to be tougher than the Euro stereotype that’s followed him for much of his career. His 8.3 rebounds per game are a career high by a relative longshot—but really it’d just be cool to have a Fire & Ice combo at the 4 and the 5 if you’re Portland.

Although Olshey doesn’t have a lot to work with as far as hot trade commodities go, he does have something the Pelicans are desperate for: a first-round draft pick.

NOLA has no interest in winning this season as it starts to prepare for Pelicans A.D. (After Davis), so the organization won’t have a problem helping another Western Conference team get better if it means the Pels can stock up for the future as a result.

 

that's leaving Durant out of the equation but fine

the problem is saying that Derozan was Toronto's Dame....that's what was loopy. Derozan was Toronto's CJ and they didn't have a Dame...they had two CJ's (both better). That's why they took a risk on Kawhi hoping he'd become their Dame

my main push-back was to a poster trying to justify Blazer inaction by talking about trading Dame for another player at his level. Thus, if you objected to that trade then Olshey was justified in sitting on his hands

 

Mirotic's to Milwaukee

 

Niko to BUCKS???

 

Good stuff neil

 

Nikola Mirotic to Milwaukee.

Nice Job NeO

 

Fuck.

 

where did I say he was on the same level? Said he was their big long term star that many of their fans thought would be untouchable. My point was their GM knew he had to pkg Derozen to get a sot at Kawai.
Would you have done it with Dame? Now your the GM, what would you do?

 

That sucks....I'd like to know what for. Was it an offer we couldn't beat?

 

How did Bucks get Mirotic? We couldn't outbid them?

For Jason Smith and Stanley Johnson?? Incredible!

 

I don't blame any agent who gets a player to the east on the Bucks or 76ers...it's the best shot at getting deep in the playoffs
