    Someone floating this to get Porzingis to opt out?

    Yeah lets not promote burning the building where the blazers play. That helps no one.

    This doesn’t even feel like it would be in the realm of possibility.

    No I was tripping, I said later that I can't figure out a KP trade that involves pick 3 that I'd be OK with. The only thing that could be OK is that Cronin wants to use pick three and he thinks pick 23, Ant and Nurk for KP would make Dame OK with drafting Miller.

    We the Blazers Nation all say, "FUCK NO!!!!!" Not to mention that Ant's 24M doesn't come close to matching KP's 36M to make the trade work with the CBA.

    We are making a ton of smoke to drive up value.

    I really could see us interested in Porzingis if it was for Nurk, Nas, Knox and Keon plus pick 23. I could then see us sending Ant to Orlando for Gary Harris and pick 6 or 11. This would allow Cronin to continue to build for the future while trying to get on Dame's good side by saying that we added an all star in KP.

    I think Dame could deal with a rotation of Him, Shae, Miller (pick 3), Jeremi, KP, Lively (pick 11), Matisse and Jevon Carter (TPMLE) and Gary Harris as our rotation. Don't blame me for trying to make sense of the bullshit reported earlier today.

    I actually think that could be a plan B if Charlotte takes Scoot. I think plan A regardless of rumors that NOLA wants Scoot for picks is... Scoot (pick 3) Nurk and Gary Harris to NOLA, Ant and 23 to Orlando and we get Zion, WCJ and 11.

    That could be a rotation of Dame, Shae, Jeremi, Zion, WCJ, Lively (pick 11), Matisse, Javon Carter and Nas.

    It's another buyer. We want teams to think there's interest. We want them to bid against each other.

    They have the 3 pick, so merely “better” should be way down the list.

    If Scoot is there when we are on the clock and even if it's Miller there will be a host of GMs lighting up our front office's phone lines trying to get those guys and the offers that Joe fields will make Kristaps Porzingis feel as ridiculous as that name made most of us feel enraged today.

    Sounds about right to me. You got a guy that you hope doesn't pick up their option? Spread a rumor he's getting traded to Portland. That should solve the problem.

    Has anyone been in war room on draft day? I wanna know what happens during the five minute countdown before a pick. How many telephone lines are there? 5 minutes seem not enough to decide the future on a franchise.

    Hadn't considered 3 Ant for 8 KP before. Not a good pick in a 7 person draft though.

    Dame
    Sharpe
    Grant
    KP
    Nurk

    Hmm I don't think Grant KP can slide down a forward spot but it would probably work against big opponents like Denver.

    I'd rather trade Nurk parts and 23 for KP, his value shouldn't be worth Ant or 3 let alone both. If we could do that along with a Bridges or Brown trade it makes much more sense.

    Dame
    Sharpe
    Brown (or Bridges)
    Grant
    KP
