    I'm trying to think who would be an ideal and realistic fit at PF if we decided to ship out Grant which I don't think is a certainty by any means in the immediate.

    "What do we get for Dame?"
    "You get Dick"
    "But that's what Miami's offering"

    I thought I smelled Polish dogs. We can always tell when the Pollock Causing Panic is in Tualatin.

    i mean... really the only thing that makes it palatable is the Nurk for Ayton swap that apparently is coming with it.

    In a vacuum, a Dame for OG + parts trade is fairly trash.

    Also having Miamis garbage shoved down our throat for two months will make any deal sound better.

    For me, a Dame for OG + parts deal hinges on what those parts are. If Dick and Achiuwa also come along (plus picks), then it's not shabby. Better than Miami's best offer across the board.

    Call me exhibit A on that...

    OG's upcoming FA status and pay day reduce his value to me.

    guessing that was the first thing they did. still unsure how those talks could have gone. we certainly have shown that we (over)pay our FAs. but given the uncertainty of our direction, probably not much concrete can be guaranteed even in a wink-wink affair.

    as i said earlier, i'd have a lot more confidence in him sticking around if he was still with Klutch.

    Get serious and offer what? Miami's offer is shit no matter how you slice it.

    Portland players get paid. Put a range on a piece of paper and put it in an envelope. Portland is going over the top of that, most likely.

    I think getting a pick is the difference between getting Ayton and not. I could see jones asking for one (even though he isn’t worth it).

    Is it true OG is extension-eligible for 4 years/$116.9m on 10/1? Can OG be both extended and traded?

    If this trade happens after 10/1 where we have an extended OG, okay…I’ll give it to ya’ll. I’d be fine with OG on the team.

    You can resume your previous position on OG... it is widely accepted that he will be seeking a new contract greater than his max extension.
