    How does a high lotto pick help us in the next 2 years.....if all we do is lose CJ in the process?

    Hey Vegas boys, I’m back down here in Vegas again working. Who was it who said they were buying me a fancy dinner?

    Yeah ok, but also they were never gonna say "We want to trade Reggie". It's always the rumors you can follow. He underperformed and gets paid a lot so I suppose it's normal to believe they do wanted to trade him.

    No, not really. And compared to Blake he definitely is.

    CJ made a jump from like 6 ppg to 18 or whatever ppg, winning most improved in the process. I think Ant can make a similar jump, if given the minutes. Trading for a high lotto pick would give him those minutes.

    Yeah but at the loss of some great depth. If we were not in a win now mode I could maybe understand that reasoning, but right now trading CJ for a lotto pick does not even guarantee it will be a that high of a pick. (or technically even in the lottery if the trade is to a team in the East) We would be trading him for the future. I am sure Dame would love that.

    Now next May, after the Lotto drawings occur, and we have seen Ant for a whole year, then that may be a whole different discussion. I just would not even consider draft picks at this stage, who won't help the team for another two years.

    I think the big difference is CJ did that going from year 2 to year 3, and he saw 16 minutes a night in year 2. He also did it when he was 24. It's not an apples to apples jump to expect.

    I think Ant could make a big jump too. I don't understand why we would trade a proven primary ball handler / versatile scorer for a draft pick.
    The Trail Blazer roster needs more talent. We do not have a 6'6"-6'11" player who is an all-nba / all star candidate. That is a huge missing piece (to me).

    Wow, what an ugly-ass city Las Vegas is from that altitude. I know, I know, you’re not there for the Vegas skyline. It’s still ugly and dry af though.

    This is despicable but can honestly think that this fanbase would have done the same if we traded Dame.
