    I think they were tired of his act 2 years ago. Fresh scenery might do Dray good. If that trade did happen I would give Roco, Little, and Snell all a chance to prove who is most consistent with their outside jumper.

    Without the Grant move, I think we lack the offensive firepower necessary to take the next step towards contention. I also don't think Dray for CJ is a fair trade with where their games are at now. CJ is the more valuable player. So I think we should be getting more than just Dray in that trade. All of that said, what the fuck do I know. Maybe Dame, Norm, RoCo, Dray and Nurk with our current bench would be an instant contender.

    Yeah

    But, he'd be ejected every game as a Blazer

    There is NO DOUBT!, Ant & Nas must take a big step forward for the Blazers to succeed. The work they've put in this offseason looks great. They know what is expected from them, and probably look forward to showing everyone that they can contribute on a high level.

    Then we'd have confirmation the refs hate us.

    Nurk, on the Lakers, would have had , at most, 3 fouls called on him vs. Jokic per game.

    I also agree we need 2 moves. I'd love the Green and Grant trades.

    I get what your saying, and it has a lot of merit. But Mr. Nightlife ain't gonna dig being curfewed by Lil Ol' Rose City.

    There comes a point in time when we have to accept that the pretty girl does want us. :dunno:

    Like I said, if that's the case then so be it. If Simmons does want to play with Dame though... you make that shit happen.

    That said, your plan isn't a bad one at all if Neil is ready to make two splashy moves.

    Thanks for sharing....great interview! They both seem genuine, it was refreshing seeing that side of both.
    I remember immediately after Durant worked out for the Blazers, he was interviewed on the radio along with one of the assistant coaches, afterwards and he said "Kevin Durant has the Eye of The Tiger". It didn't take long for me to see that for myself.
    I think Green would be a great addition.

    How could acquire both without giving up along with CJ, much more. You thinking RoCo and/or DJJ

    I guarantee you it's Dame that doesn't want to play with him...

    @dviss1 was saying along with the trade that sends CJ out and brings Draymond back that a trade sending RoCo, DJJ and possibly draft considerations for Grant would be a good idea and I agree. I'd give up RoCo, DJJ and a first for Grant.

    Damn... I feel like Dame prides himself in being able to work with anyone. You sure don't like Simmons. I think it's funny because I don't know, I just think the guy is getting a lot of slander right now.

    Now you're the one using conjecture if you think Dame wants Simmons on his team.

    Simmons said he didn't want to go to Portland or Toronto early in the process...only Calif teams...like I said...fuck him...he brought that on himself...I don't want anyone here that doesn't want to play in Portland period..

    Simmons is soft minded. So much so he's afraid to shoot... So much so he doesn't use his 6'10" frame to dunk on lil' ass Trae young...

    Dame needs to win now not have a reclamation project trading a productive player for one who mentally can't handle going to the free throw line.

    This ain't no dislike for Simmons. It's an understanding that now, he's objectively suffering from anxiety when he shoots...

    I'm sorry... That ain't a recipe for keeping Dame IMHO.

    I don't want a 3 way deal that sends Simmons to GS either....I want Simmons to end up in Sacramento purgatory....we can trade Roco, DJJ and a pick for Draymond straight across without Philly....all this would take would be for Draymond to tell Kerr he wants to be traded to Portland...Roco is a high character guy and the Warriors are paying 190 mill in luxury tax...that's more luxury tax than any payroll for a team under the cap. They can't really afford Simmons contract in reality and neither can we
