    I wonder what's the most the Kings can get for Marvin Bagley. They really should trade him, because the poor sap will never live down not being Doncic in Sacramento. Sam Bowie at least got a fresh start in New Jersey.

    This wouldn't ever happen, but I think this improves each team.

    Jrue to PDX
    K-love/Redick to PHI
    Horford/Richardson to NO
    CJ to CLE

    I think Cleveland needs to throw in a pick, and we might need to as well. New Orleans needs something for taking on that Horford contract, but I'm not sure it's #5 (but possibly, with our pick going to CLE).

    PHI starting lineup could be: Simmons/Redick/Harris/Love/Embiid. I think that's probably best in the league.

    We could end up using Jrue as a swiss-army knife. Defense first-player in the starting lineup, manning the point in the second unit.

    Lillard/Trent/Jrue/Collins/Nurkic - lots of defense. No excuses for Stotts at that point.

    I love Cj and even I would trade him for Jrue Holiday. Jrue would be perfect next to Dame

    Not with a 3 year 90 mil contract attached to it. We would have no ability to sign anyone else and have to hope that who ever we picked was able to be a superstar since we could not get any role players. THey would have to give up several picks to take on that contract.

    Here are the last 8 #5 picks in the draft. No guarantee here.
    2019 Darius Garland, Vanderbilt – Cleveland Cavaliers
    2018 Trae Young, Oklahoma – Atlanta Hawks
    2017 De’Aaron Fox, Kentucky – Sacramento Kings
    2016 Kris Dunn, Providence – Minnesota Timberwolves
    2015 Mario Hezonja, FC Barcelona Basquet – Orlando Magic
    2014 Dante Exum, Australia – Utah Jazz
    2013 Alex Len, Maryland – Phoenix Suns
    2012 Thomas Robinson, Kansas – Sacramento Kings

    Same as the last 6 years, we need new forwards and a different coach. If we can turn CJ into a stretch 4 and our pick and scraps into a wing defender with some spot up ability I think we are a lot better next season.

    I no longer see Collins as a starting 4 on a championship level team. I’d like him backing up 4 and 5 off the bench though, unless he’s needed in a trade to obtain starter level caliber players.

    Its time to call around and see what Collins/CJ/Simons/16th pick is worth.

    Saying this for years
    To be fair, it was the asset of the No. 5 pick that made me overlook the deficiencies I see in Love ... that fifth pick could be used to acquire something else that might compensate in some way for what Love doesn't do well. I'm still not super-convinced Love is a great fit in Portland ... there'd have to be multiple changes to the roster for me to think that would work. And, at his age with his injury history, depending on him is too risky, IMO.

    If KLove doesn't make sense for Portland what makes you think he makes sense for Philly?

    Collins will miss a ton of games. Can't count on him.

    Collins needs to be traded.
    His body is not built to play 3 or even 2 NBA games a week.

    So the 5th pick you are so excited about lets se Mario? Alex Len? Thomas Robinson? Dante Exum? Which of these 5th picks from the last few years is worth a bloated 30 mil ayear contract and giving up CJ?

    Maybe we could convince someone to swap us the 15 so we can pick someone on the level of Kawhi Leonard or Giannis Antetokoumpo, since the success of prior year picks at a certain number apparently rigorously defines the value of a future pick.

    I am saying taking one of the worst contracts in the league because you get the 5th pick is crazy. Plus you give up your second leading scorer for that terrible contract. People keep saying, but we get the 5th pick, like that guarantees up some superstar. But I guess you are okay with giving up our 2nd leading scorer taking on one of the worst contracts in the NBA in hopes that the 5th pick makes us contenders, when there is just as good a chance as that pick being another Mario and now the blazers are hamstrung with Love and his contract and worse off.

    CJ is owed more over the next 3 years than Love is, is owed an additional $35M the year after that, and has worse efficiency and impact numbers than Love. CJ's only advantage over Love is durability--and yes, that is a significant issue. Hence the need for significant draft compensation to make the swap. But the claim that Love is one of the worst contracts in the league seems to ignore the possibility that CJ also may fit that classification.

    CJ is still a productive player in the League. Love is for half a season. Plus Answer me this. How many first round picks would we have to give up to get a team to take CJ"s contract? I am betting Zero. You willing to take Love's contract without draft consideration?

    We may have to pair a draft pick with CJ bc his production is not worth the contract he was given


    Or we can get a lesser player like Love and hope to get a star in the draft...


    Or keep CJ and Dame and watch the same shit happen
