    OK, this trade gets rid of CJ. Holiday and Covington to the Blazers; CJ and Aminu to the Wolves; Gibson and Okogie to New Orleans. We send a first round pick to NO also.

    CJ would be perfect for the Pelicans. It would be his team. As he has shown in games without Dame, he probably welcomes the idea. If Dame really is his friend, he will understand as well. Jrue and CJ would be a pretty filthy duo and they compliment each other better than Dame and CJ. Collins also compliments Randle with his defense.

    I honestly believe there’s a deal to be had between the two teams. It only took a couple hours to convince myself. But seriously, Olshey must put CJ on the table and see where it leads.

    Hey @Scalma, do you have portland2014 blocked? There is a thread about Anthony Davis that has over 250 comments but it doesn't show that you've seen it.

    I don’t know who that is, so probably. My ignore list is strong.

    I noticed because you're one of the only ones not talking about it in there. I think the twitter posts about what the Pelicans are looking for should be in there.

    We only have two games before the deadline and the team is at home through it all. They also have five days off after tomorrow nights game. Seems like an ideal time to finalize a deal, if there is one. I remember the Nurk trade was done about a week or so before the deadline. Teams that make sense as trade partners (Atlanta, New Orleans) don’t need to wait. Get me Mirotic now ok thanks.

    After tomorrow's game, I expect to hear more of Portland being more serious in their discussions. Exploratory so far from the little bit that has been passed along. Due diligence is fine up to this point but by tomorrow, I want Olshey to go into full court press mode.

    Waiting for his valet to let him know he's outside the arena waiting to pick him up.

    Well we are playing Utah, who happens to have killed us a couple times this year. They have the ability to show Neil and everyone else our deficiencies. Maybe Neil will be watching.

    It’d be shortsighted to make judgements like that based off one game. At this point, Olshey should know what he has. It’s pretty much the same team as the last two years ffs.

    You're already one step ahead of me.

    And if this is the best Neil can do, then he is absolutely disconnected from reality and this team.

    In that case, give Collins and a first or second. Marc is past his prime, and he's not worth more than that.

    The problem with that is......we could really use him to mentor up Zach. Badly.
