    You say this with a straight face? Is this green font?

    a guy so injured he may never play again and a rookie who has yet to see the nba court?

    you want people to take this post and this thread seriously, right?

    If you think that that means that Ayton is suddenly desirable to other teams, then I don't know what to tell you.

    Nothing was said about desirable. It was in comparison to the other two.

    I'm happy with just keeping Clingan and Duop...

    I saw Doup Reath in Boomers highlights during the Olympics. That's cool, you know, all that experience can transfer over to the Blazers season.

    my hopes were dashed. Reath barely played and had little noteworthy stats.

    shucks. Well, at least he won't be zonked for training camp.... go Blazers !!

    One would assume he'd dominate for them. I mean, his contract is low and his story is neat.

    Maybe they meant "Big Inhale....Big Inhale to Portland!"

    I mean, I wouldn't do...for either team...but if the Blazers' FO thinks an Ayton/Ingram/Avdija frontline can be successful, I could see them pursuing this.

    If there's anything that could get me on board with full tank it's the threat that that's the alternative.

    Would the Blazers be willing to pay Ingram the ~60 million max he wants?

    At that price I might rather just keep Grant/Timelord.

    Now if the Blazers think Ingram could be flipped at the deadline or in the offseason for value I'm fine with it.

    Maybe just work a 3 way where we get a pick instead of taking on Ingram at all?

    Nurlic is a better rebounder than Ayton; led the NBA in rebound rate last season....didn't stop him being moved

    Fair enough. Move him if it's a good deal, but not if we're just aiming to get down to three centers on the roster.
