    Sign me up, and I'm assuming you mean we get Nelson, lol

    Three first round picks and Vonleh would be a fucking HAUL for Denver though.

    Yeah I meant Nelson. The 3rd team would likely be a playoff team looking for a backup C (Toronto, Cleveland, San Antonio, Golden State, Boston?) So the pick would be low, but probably more valuable to Denver than Plumlee since theyd be trying to clear their Center logjam.

    Yeah, but it's more of Nurkic and jokic being two starting centers that can't coexist than an actual logjam. They would still need a backup center no? That's where someone like Ed Davis could help, someone who knows and accepts his role.

    Good point. I don't like trading Davis though because I view him as a PF. I wouldn't want 2 of Nurkic/Leonard/Plumlee playing together at the same time but it would have to happen if we traded Davis. I'd prefer we gave them Leonard (which might actually make more sense for them since they need shooting)

    Would they bite on this?

    POR Gets: Nurkic and Nelson
    DEN Gets: Leonard, Vonleh, Napier, 2018 POR 1st, 2018 CLE 1st?

    We'd have:
    Lillard/Nelson
    McCollum/Crabbe
    Harkless/Turner
    Aminu/Davis
    Nurkic/Plumlee

    I like Nurkic but we are giving away too much for him here. Besides I don't see the points of Napier for Nelson. Who benefits from that?

    Portland gets a good locker room guy and a legitimate back up point who can come in and run the offense, freeing up CJ. Also gives the team another outside shooter. Denver sheds his salary and goes younger with Napier who they can develop behind mudiay. I believe we are a serious playoff team with Nurkic, so a vet like Nelson would come in handy.

    I agree, but it also probably means it's a fair trade lol.

    I'd rather have Dieng, numbers and measurables are just as good and a lot likelier to stay healthy. I don't think Minnesota would do this trade.

    Crabbe+Meyers or aminu or Davis+1st for vucivic and hezonja?

    I really like Hezonjas game I never understood what the hell the magic were doing with him he's a lights out shooter but he does have some attitude to him Ive heard but, now theyre talking about sending him to the DLeague

    He's an elite shooter and rebounder....reminds me of Kevin Love....he's not worse than Plumlee when he gives you 20/15 night in and night out...as a stretch 4 if Meyers played like him we'd be thrilled

    Elite shooter? Which Vucevic are you talking about because the one on the magic definitely is not an elite shooter, nor is he a stretch four, nor has he ever averaged 20/15.

    I'd trade Crabbe straight-up for Hezonja.

    So you don't think getting around the same production from a different player at a fraction of the price is savvy?
