Rumor Trade Deadline: March 25, 12:00 p.m. Pacific

I forgot to put the most obvious, most likely option in the Poll:

"Blazers get....Whatever the Sacramento Kings are offering"

 

Let's see if Danny gets greedy.

 

Blazers trade CJ Elleby for Chimezie Metu and future cash considerations

 

I wouldn't mind Barnes and Bagley.

 

bagley is trash and his fatther is a headcase

 

This would rival the Caleb Swanigan trade(s).

 

that's the big point

the Raptors were going nowhere...they were stuck on their own treadmill. It was a well above average treadmill, but it was still a treadmill. They essentially risked nothing. Derozan and Poeltl weren't taking them to the ECF. They actually got Danny Green in the deal, and all they gave up pick-wise was the 29th pick in 2019

the equivalent perspective is Portland trading CJ and Zach for Kawhi and a championship. That's a lopsided trade in Portland's favor, and there would have still been a chance, however slight, that Dame could have convinced Kawhi to stay

this did not take big balls by the Raptor GM...all it required is for their GM to have a little objectivity about the roster and not cling so stubbornly to high-level mediocrity and favorite players. He did his job

 

This!

 

You listen to it and report back!

 

Nope, I agree with your math. There is actually 20% more lying than is even thought to be possible. 120% of what we here in trade rumors is deception. (Not making fun of your great post, making fun of the fact that it seems about right because you here conflicting rumors and all of them are probably smoke screens which in a way adds up to more than 100%)

 

Their current GM is better than their former Asst GM.

 

Wow! Kawhi Leonard and Paul George must be relieved.

 

Goddammit BGD

 

Do we know what our offer is? Most of all (within reason) I'd hate something involving Little.

 

No clue. All we can go off of is supposedly Houston offering Oladipo and picks and Boston supposedly offering Smart and picks. So we have Trent and he's not as good as Oladipo or Smart.

 

I'm thinking that if Boston was offering Smart and picks, the deal would have been done. Probably the same goes for Oladipo. I don't think we're getting the full story

 

No, the reason why the Oladipo trade didn't go through supposedly is because Gordon said he didn't want to play there. I think the deal would have been done if Gordon hadn't said no.
