    Very unlikely Portland will go over the cap to get this done due to the repeater implications because they will likely be over next season. If it's going to happen, it's going to have to keep Portland under that Lux tax line.

    IF the were to do it, they may be even more attractive for a buy-out candidate so hopefully there is enough room left over to accomplish that as well.

    Have you heard any more in recent days from your SAUCES?

    If we could get away with a package of Hood/Collins/Ant/Nas and any additional picks for Gordon and a combo of Birch/Bacon/Gary Clark for salary purposes. If we can get AG without giving up Trent we would have a pretty ridiculous Top 8/9.

    I'd rather give Jones than Little. Besides talent, we won't be able to afford Jones with Trent and Gordon. Nas is still on his rookie deal which is more feasible. Jones is also SUPER young. I also thinking sliding Covington to the starting 3 with Gordon at the 4 makes the most sense.

    Yup. We don't have bird rights with DJJ. He should realistically be included in any trade.

    Does Jones Jr have any value in a trade, serious question.

    I'm pretty sure due to his contract being the length and PO in 2nd year he has a no-trade clause, am I correct?

    Can't be not picking when it comes to big trades like this. You have to go all in!

    I doubt Portland would obtain Gordon w/o sending Trent out. One, he is one of the more valuable young pieces who has shown he can produce so he is included with players like Hood or DJJ to make salaries work. Second, having Trent and CJ makes little sense going forward because of the salary requirements. If you can use Trent to upgrade your frontcourt when your backcourt is full, you do it.

    I don’t see Gordon coming to PDX without sending back Trent/Little/1st.

    I really don’t wanna get into a bidding war with the Celtics over Gordon.

    That might very well be what is happening. Smart move by Orlando to play both teams against other to get what they want.

    @mods @Chris Craig can we merge all these trades? They're literally all exactly the same
