    If he is pissed and still on the team by opening night I contemplate coming to Portland to boo him for his first introduction as a Blazer. Money well spent.

    Don't worry Jrue, some of us didn't really want you here either.

    Why would we trade for an old vet that doest want to be here? Just reroute his ass, if that truly the case.

    If you pay me 30M a year for 3 years I go to Alaska if needed.

    Alaska is actually a great spot. Especially in the summer. Anchorage is a great city.

    A good point was brought up: POR has to get a frp to convey to CHI in order to get the swap from MIL. In other words they have to make the post season to ensure they keep that swap etc.

    He'll come around. His best strategy is to play nice with us and we'll trade him during the season. But by then he'll have fallen in love with the team...

    We really need to keep what MRS. HCP tells us about @THE HCP out of the forum. Thank you.

    Pretty simple - Blazers want to push for the playoffs and think the old guy is a better piece.

    I don't understand these posters that think Jrue has shit value - but think that some random team is going to later send us a haul for that pile of shit.

    Jrue is coveted. But at his price tag whats the pieces that they have to give up? That's the tough part we got saddled with. Boston didnt want to have to make that decision and took back a subpar player to have us make the decision.

    Been reported the trade won't be completed until July 6th so plenty of time to expand it.

    weirdly I like the trade a little after reading he doesn't want to be here. Let it motivate him to show he hasn't lost as much as some say. Then trade him at the deadline, or just reroute him now for all I care

    Giannis seems like a pipe dream - but with our bucket of Bucks picks are the team best positioned to do that deal. I wouldn't be shocked if Dame even did a buyout to join on as well.

    That's what I was thinking last night when everyone was talking about Ant. Fans who thought he was shit were pissed we did not get more for him.
