    It's not like Grant is on a great contract. The Grant Ant duo earns about 10 million more next season. So its what 30 million saved over the final years of Grants deal if you let Ant walk for nothing?

    There were reports the franchise that got Flagg would have its value increase 500+ million. There isn't any GM in the league that's dumping the #3 pick for $30 million.

    It's a laughable homer trade idea.

    Perhaps the Blazers aren’t as sold on Sharpe as the fans are?

    You were probably too young to remember when Antonio McDeyess was traded for Rodney Rogers. I think Portland would have to throw in #11 and I think it would be close.

    Brent Barry went along with Rogers.

    The rights to Barry. He was a mid first round pick. So Rodgers and a mid 1st.

    Meh.

    McDeyess was so dope. Nuggets ran away with this trade.

    For sure. One of those awesome power forwards from the 90’s I so miss. Too bad his injuries hurt his career.

    If the Grizzlies really want Deni and the Hornets are ready to move on from LaMelo...

    Should the Blazers be interested?

    Nope.
    I also don't buy what this is insinuating. That teams are offering Celtics crazy high valuations.

    I'd only consider Brown on a bargain basement price.
    White, I'd offer a fair price on -> but Portland isn't in a potion to make that move right now.

    No. They're good players, but (a) it sounds like they're being overpriced and (b) they're out of our timeline. I mean, if the Celtics were offloading them cheap, then fine, but...

    If we are supposed to swing for the fence why would we need to be on the cheap...
