    Thank you. Someone who gets it.

    I've said from the beginning that including Nurk in ANY package would be disastrous in the long term. If we were somehow able to get Davis here and sign him to a 3 or 4 year contract, AND include a young, top-tier Center as well (and Zach Collins is NOT that person), then I might be open to it.

    Otherwise, you have Davis for a year until he fucks off to wherever it is he's going, and no Center. And likely a depleted bench, and no SG.

    Why people don't see this is beyond me. We would essentially have......Dame, and literally nobody else.

    That's not a risk I want to take. Ever. We were LUCKY to get Nurk, thanks to Denver's stupidity. I don't want to lose the Center we have who actually wants to be here.

    You're not kidding. I remember a very sobering stat that I saw posted here during Nurk's very first game in a Blazer uniform. When he was on the floor, our team's Defensive rating was +17. When he was on the bench.............it was -42. In his first game with us. That's how much of an impact he had.

    I still say CJ, Turner, and Collins plus picks for AD, but nothing more than that. And sure as hell not Nurk.

    :twothumbs:, that’s how I see it too. Side note: CJ and Jrue could be a dangerous backcourt for years, since the league is more guard oriented anyway.

    There may be another AD in the draft. We probably would not attract him to PDX and he is going to LA for a glory ride with LeBron.

    Like I've been saying all along, I don't think we get a foot in the door without the willingness to take Solomon Hill.

    CJ, Collins, Trent, Skal, #25, and a 2021 1st for Davis and Hill

    Before you make fake trade offers, replace Davis with Dame and ask yourself if you'd take the complete shit you are offering for Dame.

    Yes, he can leave for free, but you still have a chance to keep him

    Difference being, one has demanded / asked publicly, the other hasnt... I get what you’re saying our offers arent very enticing for a player of that caliber, but NO’s leverage isnt very good right now.

    It's not that bad. He's so good, and so many teams would want him, there will be a bidding war of sorts

    Fair enough, Im not sure tbh. The last few “stars” that got traded didnt exactly bring back “equal” value, but Davis is very good, and not hurt.

    Were not getting Davis without giving up at least CJ/nurk and probably a 1st. We have to beat offers that are most likely #4, Kuzma, Ingram, Lonzo. Clippers have Shamet, SGA, Montrezl Harrell, 2021 Miami unprocted pick, phillys 1st rounder and their own 1st rounder.

    The Lakers junk is worse then the Blazers offers (even the ones that dont include Nurk).
    The clippers is pretty interesting. Harrell and Zion would be a very interesting front court.
