    1st, he doesn't want to be here. 2nd, he doesn't fit the timeline, At. All. 3rd, dude could LEGIT be in decline. As a 35 y/o guard still owed 100 Mil that could albatross us for the next couple of years.

    It's much more than about balance sheets... But you know that.

    Cronin says he can't speak on this trade yet because it isn't finalized.

    PDX needs to rework this trade and get Sam Hauser in it. I’m getting real worried about the lack of shooting.

    Steph
    Jrue
    Jimmy
    Dray
    Looney

    with Podziemski, GP2, Buddy, Moody, Timelord

    is a damn good team

    This makes me think of the Trampoline episode of The Simpsons:



    Yeah, good luck with that.

    I'd do that in a heartbeat. I think GSW doesn't though. I think they value Kuminga higher than to trade him for Jrue.

    Maybe they can trade him with a couple of picks to us for Jrue Holiday.

    With Draymond and Butler I don't think they do. They benched Kuminga completely for the end of the season and most of the playoffs.

    They probably don't want to trade TJD

    Rob won't play and we don't need TJD. We have enough in the way of centers. I'd be more interested in moving Grant than Holiday, but maybe that's just me.

    Kerr took a lot of heat for that. Benching him and then trying to get him going in the Houston series was a mistake. I think Jrue's salary prevents that trade tbh. Kuminga is still relatively cheap.
