    That’s one pointless future for a franchise. I just don’t understand why they don’t rebuild around Murry and gut that team. Is old ass LMA and Derozan really going to get you by Lebron and AD? Or Kahwi and PG? Weird direction that team is going

    I’d have no problem running with LA as full time starter till he retires, and having Collins get big bench minutes because he can relieve both Nurk and LA.

    Solid trade. Things I like about it:
    1.) Wenyen Gabriel
    2.) Trevor Ariza's contract
    - He can be traded on draft day or before June 30th
    - If he isn't, he can be waived
    3.) Cap savings
    4.) $7.2M Traded Player Exception
    5.) Ariza is better than Bazemore

    Things I don't like:
    1.) Giving up Two 2nd Round Picks
    2.) Possibly missing out on something better that we could've used Bazemore for

    Second round picks are like Pokémon cards; they aren’t worth much and you can always buy more.

    I thought this season couldn't get worse and then we get Caleb back :pokecrap::smiley-neznam::smiley-nope:

    What a fucking win for the Kings.
    They sent a an undrafted dude which they got for free and a washed up player and got 2 draft picks in return, PLUS they got rid of Swanigan who is probably the worst NBA player of the decade.

    Huh?

    Who cares if Swanigan is the 15th man on the roster. How is that even relevant...

    I just can't stand to see him in a Blazers uniform, seriously.
    I rather have Tolliver, i rather have anybody but him.

    I wish people would stop saying this. The only 2nd round pick that just cost cash in the 2019 draft was the #58 pick.

    Trent hitting shots. Undermanned or not, I like seeing the young guys get some run.

    30th pick - Valuable
    31th pick = Trash

    I'll never understand that logic :banghead2:

    How dare you? That statement of mine is original and witty...even if not entirely true. ;)

    Trade isn’t official until Tuesday....time for a third team to enter this deal; Lakers?

    Lakers acquire Ariza and Portland winds up with Kuzma!

    You know Houston wants Ariza back. Maybe we can fleece them!

    I wonder if Buddy Heald would give up his #24 jersey to Kent

    Ariza is a cowardly POS with no particular skills applicable to the game of basketball.

    He will never be accepted by the fans, and probably not by the players. Probably the most hated active player.

    2 solid players and 2 picks for Caleb.

    Bye Bye Neil.
