    Wow... I gotta give this one props... I'd do this and could see the other teams doing it too.

    Edit: Wait... MEM kinda gets shorted here...

    Adding SloMo creates an even better situation for Dame to be off ball. I disagree with this take completely.

    Anderson is on an expiring contract and is rumored to be shopping him. A first round pick in the 18-25 or so range is about the best they can hope for him.

    Trading CJ and Roco for Simmons might actually make us worse. At least that’s what I’d bet on happening. It’ll never happen though.

    Let’s get a SF by trading CJ for Ingram


    Lillard
    Powell
    Ingram (RoCo comes off the bench as 6th man)
    Nance
    Nurk

    Bench = Ant / Snell / Little / RoCo / Zeller

    RoCo Can play 3 or 4 behind Ingram/Nance and provides good insurance as well

    This means we need to sign a backup PG or trade for one come December

    As with most of your trade proposals, you need to consider whether the other team would be interested. Seems unlikely that New Orleans would fill their backcourt with Graham and Hart after drafting Alexander-Walker and Lewis, and then trade the only decent forward they have besides Zion for yet another guard that would take minutes from the other 4 I mentioned.

    The pelicans are not trading Ingram for CJ straight up. Plus, I think it’s pretty obvious teams are waiting for Dame, not CJ. Hopefully that will change. I still think the Blazers are gearing up for a big midsession move though.

    I hardly think anyone can be a 3 time all-star and make the all-defensive first team on multiple occasions with no work ethic. I hope you contribute to the dwindling of his value so we can swoop him up for CJ!

    he has regressed since he got in the league which tells me he hasn’t actually worked on his game and just got by with his natural talent.

    Like it or not Paul is fast becoming the most powerful agent in the league. Know what’s funny tho? Billups is a Klutch guy and Olshey goes way back with LeBron

    Imagine if after an entire summer of other teams fans thirsting for Dame it’s actually Portland that ends up as the destination for other teams stars.

    So I'm curious.... what would happen if the league banned Rich Paul from representing players?

    Better question: How could they?

    Another one: Why are we even considering it?

    Another one: Has anyone in here EVER considered it?

    What grounds would there be to ban Rich Paul for representing his clients?

    Was anyone saying that Harden's agents should be banned from representing players after he wanted out last season?

    Was anyone saying that about Kawhi's agent?

    Has anyone even begun to think those thoughts about Dame's agents after rumblings and rumors this offseason?

    Advanced stats disagree with that. He improved slightly every year and regressed last year under Doc while also suffering a knee injury and 2 back injuries.

    I am going to go it is much more likely that the combination of health and new coach/role is the main issue for his last year dip.

    I still think he is such an interesting young talent that he is worth the risk. I do not think this team is really going to be a contender without a 2nd real star at a non guard position and the opportunity to get one of those is small, so if it is there, you roll the dice and hope for the best

    What advanced stats?

    05ECF117-65AD-472E-BAEF-A20BBEEE08A2.jpeg

    Literally gets worse every season minus one stall. Definitely no improvement. His best season was his rookie season. What is that?
