    Do the Blazers want to trade expirings for expirings or do they want to get back better fitting players with contracts that aren't up to do a quick rebuild. We aren't going to get good FA's to come here. We have to net good players in trade.

    If that deal did go through for Bagley the pick would be down the road and wouldn't help the Blazers now, when they need it. I suppose they could then trade that pick in a deal for something that helps us now.

    Myles Turner hurt his foot so he's out of the conversation

    Christian Wood?

    If there was a three team deal between Portland, Houston, and OKC that could net us Wood and Dort...holy hell

    I would think the ideal thing would be to land players with more control beyond this season, but mayeb they figure picks to use in trades are better assets?

    “If the rumored Covington for Bagley and a pick trade eventuates, the clear prize for the Blazers will be the pick, not Bagley.”

    Ouch :blink:

    He's been pretty terrible

    Maybe a change of scenery fixes that, but jeez

    If that’s the case….

    Re-route Bagley to Houston for Kenyon Martin Jr.

    I find it ironic that a big man the Blazers are rumored to be interested in then gets hurt. If i was Turner I am like please do not connect my name to the Blazers big men and them is like super bad luck makes the madden curse look tame -- LOL

    Damn. You know it's bad if even your name gets associated with the Blazers and your a center, your going to get injured.

    Lets just sign Nurk since he's healthy, playing good and still tight with Dame.

    Bagley been hurt each year and he not good defender and average offense player so far. But I also know Sacramento kind ruin there young guys too. I think he be one of those players you either hit a home run with or let him walk at the end of the season. Like someone said the draft choice might be the reward.

    Nurkic will not re-sign if Portland trades Dame....that's just about guaranteed. Portland won't be trading Dame any time soon so there is probably a decent chance they can re-sign Nurkic if they want...and if Nurkic has reasonable expectations about contract

    I think Nurk was pretty unhappy with Billups over the first 20 games or so. He's been more involved in the offense lately

    personally, I don't agree with all those saying dump Nurkic. Portland doesn't have any comparable big man as an option. On the other hand, Traditional C's like Nurkic have lost value in the new NBA so I would not like to see Nurkic re-signed for much more than he currently makes...probably should be less

    If we resign Nurkic for less than he makes now, I feel like there is a decent chance he will be pissy about staying here anyways.

    I don't see him having a big market. Anything more than 10 million a year is probably too much for him.

    I tend to agree. I don't think any team will be willing to invest big cap-space on him. More likely all or part of an MLE which is a little under 10M

    here's a list of bigs and their salaries this year:

    Daniel Theis $8,372,093
    Mason Plumlee $8,137,500
    DeAndre Jordan $7,827,907
    Mo Bamba $7,568,742
    Ivica Zubac $7,518,518
    Juancho Hernangómez $7,012,440
    Chris Boucher $7,009,615
    Kevon Looney $5,178,572
    JaVale McGee $5,000,000
    Robin Lopez $5,000,000
    Taj Gibson $4,910,000
    Bobby Portis $4,347,600
    Willie Cauley-Stein $4,200,000
    Gorgui Dieng $4,000,000
    Alex Len $3,731,707
    Boban Marjanović $3,500,000
    Dewayne Dedmon $5,256,308
    Dwight Howard $2,641,691
    LaMarcus Aldridge $2,641,691
    Ed Davis $2,641,691
    Hassan Whiteside $2,401,537
    Andre Drummond $2,401,537
    Cody Zeller $2,389,641
    Frank Kaminsky $2,089,448
    Nemanja Bjelica $2,089,448

    now, Nurkic is better than just about all of those guys, but he's not so much better to justify 3-5 times the salary. A lot of teams go with cheap option at C so they can spend cap elsewhere
