    I’ll be happy when we’re past the trade deadline. I absolutely hate reading most of the trade proposals in here. It makes my head hurt.

    You could but then you'd miss the tweets and actual discussion about trade targets.

    I enjoy the trade deadline stuff...was great when we got Nurk at the deadline. I don't care that much for Trade Machine stuff that is all conjured up ..but when the sports media or Woj break a trade or interest story....I'll enjoy it....I feel the same about the draft....I'll pay attention more to the guys we bring in to work out or target than who fans think is the better choice...the rest is the Blurry Melo with extra whatever fodder

    I guess but if the trade proposels are giving you an aneurism it might not be worth it.

    Where is CJ in that deal? We can offer CJ without sacrificing our bench. Because that's a huge load in return for Griffin.

    Indeed. Most just give me a chuckle. Five team trades with nine players, like when was the last time someone actually guessed a trade that went down?

    Hey, we'd still have Curry, Stauskas, and Leonard!

    But seriously, with Dame/CJ/Blake/Nurk all in the starting lineup, how much bench production would we really need?

    But CJ is a big enough piece to offer that we don't have to sell (most of) our bench. Because we need all the bench we can get.

    Do we? Again, if we add Blake to the starting lineup, how much bench do we need?

    Still, I agree that the Pistons would probably need CJ to be included in order for them to be willing to deal Blake to us.

    That said, how would you formulate the CJ+?? for Blake trade offer?

    Oh trust me, we need a bench.

    As for what trade I would offer: CJ, Turner, and either Zach or Leonard and a 1st round pick. That leaves us with enough bench to keep things going in a game, while still offering the Pistons a very good deal.

    And if we're keeping Moe, that fucking knee of his needs to heal. That's the one dark spot I can see in all of this.

    So, Turner/Zach/Jake/Chief is an overpay, but CJ/Turner/Zach is good? Am I reading that right?

    So essentially, you're saying that Jake/Chief are worth more to this team than CJ is? Am I misinterpreting here?

    They add depth. That is one of our biggest strengths this season. Layman and Curry stepping up, for instance, has been a huge blessing. Don't tell me you don't see this.

    CJ is one guy. Curry can step up in his place. And in case you haven't noticed, CJ needs his own team. I think it's become quite apparent, in fact.

    No argument that Curry and Layman have been significant boons to the team. But one of the reasons that is necessary is because of the generally weak production we get from our starting forward spots. If we were to trade for Blake, one would presume that that weakness would instantly become a strength. And of course, Curry would still remain on the squad as a second-unit gunner.

    I don't disagree that CJ would better off as the lead guard on his own team. I do disagree, however, that were the Blazers to trade for Blake, the team would be better off keeping Layman and Aminu instead of CJ.

    Sooooo....we have a weakness at Forward, and you don't want depth at that position? Am I reading that correctly?

    I guess........give them CJ, Moe, Turner, Zach or Leonard and a First then. It's not like Moe can stay healthy anyways. Layman is younger and healthier.

    I didn't really mean it like that. Just meant if the trade ideas are that bad you could try to avoid them, was merely a suggestion. You don't really complain about it that much that I've seen anyways.
