Bobby Marks alluded to this last night. A possibility of this evolving into more than two teams is there given it's a 3-to-1 trade
I wonder if there is another team we were talking to that just didn't want Hart and wanted to go young. Maybe they prefer Cam, a #1, and filler? The deal is not completed so we can still trade Cam with other players. I am hoping that team is Toronto.
I like the idea, I'm assuming it will take a couple picks, and I'm still not sure we'd be left with a team that could get out of the first round.
I'd take Dame/Grant/Bridges vs Dame/Grant/Ant. More balanced, better defense and more length. Unlikely to happen, but that is the type of move that would really help this roster.
Yeah, I don't think there is any question about how good Bridges is. Which is why it took a Durant in order for Phoenix to move him. And it took a Bridges for the Nets to move Durant.
They can sign me for a hand shake deal for Half the minimum and I'll let everyone think i make the minimum.
Jusuf Nurkic recognizes that the Trail Blazers‘ plans could change at the last minute before the deadline, but he said on Wednesday that general manager Joe Cronin has told him he won’t be on the move this week. “We had a really good, nice chat,” Nurkic said, per Quick. “I don’t know if I should really put it out there, but he said, ‘No, we are not trading you.'”

Yeah, I don't see a market for him. I was hoping that Toronto would bite, but SA bailed them out by giving them back Poeltl. We do need a Nurk on this team, but not against every team and not always for big minutes. Nurk is going to have to be ok with that.
Yeah, I like that team better, but still not sure it is better than 6th or 7th in the West, and I'm assuming it would cost a couple of picks on top of Ant... at that point, I think I'd be out.
