Trade CJ McCollum to New Orleans

Good info. You gonna suit up tonight bones?
I heard they already got The HCP a uni with a built in oxygen tank.

 

I wish. Luckily my Rec League is returning for the 1st time in a month and a half so luckily I won't have to watch this trainwreck!

 

Like you, I also used to live in that area (I spent over a decade in DC). Unlike you, I understand fan support is not important. Corporate support is. And that area has tremendous corporate resources.

 

I don't even want Grant anymore but yeah. I'd be fine with this.

 

Scalma linked with some of the article by Fischer i think it was that the Blazers are looking to FLIP some of the assets from the CJ trade in another post so that would explain why an official announcement has not been made by either team at this point.

All i know is the one asset outside of maybe the Protected pick I kind of want the Blazers to keep is Hart but the rest I would not mind being flipped as long it's for the right piece.

 

Bc it’s not their choice or the new owners choice to move the team. It’s the whole nbas choice. And their not doing that anymore after the Sonics debacle. Again look at the kings story. They were begging and pleading to have it moved to Seattle but the nba said fuck that we learned our lesson your staying put.

so what ur doing is trying to speak it to existence for them to move. I don’t even think teams will move anymore in our lifetime UNLESS the attendance is completely terrible and arena is literally falling apart. None of which applies to us. So chill out

 

The team isn't getting moved. NBA wouldn't allow it. They'll expand in the next decade.

 

A little mood music for you all:

Gave pelicans a C-, portland an A

 

I thought the Blazers only drafted guards.....

 

I'm pretty confident it'll be the 1st + Sato (and maybe NAW) for Grant.

Praying that it's something out of the blue like Nurkic + NOP 1st to Toronto for OG.

 

Hey dipshit, I'm not the one who called the other poster a clown, so you need to be the one to chill out.

Its a possible scenario, and I'm not going to ignore that possibility.

 

That plan requires MASSIVE tanking, which we are now capable of doing, or getting a little lucky in the Draft. But I like the thinking. Will be a fun Draft party.

 

It's also a market that lost the Bullets, lost the Colts, and nearly lost the Orioles. It's not nearly the boom market you think it would be for either a moved team or an expansion. The owner would have to commit to pouring a ton of resources into an arena project, because multiple arena projects funded by taxpayers have failed over the last 30 years. There are plenty of other markets you mentioned that would be better fits, Vegas especially, but I'm pretty firmly in the camp that there's no chance the Blazers move.

 

And project bigs who don't pan out for us. Don't forget about them!

 

I agree. He's way too tall for the type of team we're trying to build.

 

I just can’t fathom a superstar who’s on the outside edge his prime being okay with a complete rebuild like this…

 

I think we're keeping him around to see if whoever buys this team wants to keep him or trade him for future assets.

 

107 million reasons to be on board.

our returns in these trades have been awful, but the big picture is something i laid out about a month ago

Pelicans gotta fire Griffin, its the only option

On a serious note, Pelton has liked both of Portlands trades
