    Haha. I love that guy. He's a wonderful person to watch a Blazer game with in person. @BlazerWookee can yell and cheer with the best of them!

    The Thunder thing came out of nowhere and would support AD having a chance to be traded to a place like Portland though.

    Man, hope is a powerful tool if used correctly bro. Let people use it if they so desire.

    Woj isn't talking about Portland starting at the :45 second mark.

    Let me know if you needed anything else.

    Alright, let have some fun I guess.

    POR Gets:
    Anthony Davis
    Nicolas Batum
    Willy Hernangomez

    CHA Gets:
    Maurice Harkless
    Gary Trent Jr.
    25th Pick (POR)

    NOP Gets:
    C.J. McCollum
    Zach Collins
    12th Pick (CHA)
    36th Pick (CHA)
    2021 POR 1st

    Why NOP does this - CJ and Jrue are a great fit together. Gives them an all-star level guard, and CJ, Jrue, and Zion would be competitive. Collins is the young player they may value, and they still get a lottery pick.

    Why CHA does it - They save $13M, and they're likely to give Kemba Walker a deal starting at $38M a year this year. MJ isn't the richest owner in the sport, and their luxury tax bill looks bad. Cost saving move for sure. They save $27M in 2020-2021 as well.

    Assuming Portland resigned Rodney Hood for the tax-payer MLE and Aminu on a 1-year deal, their pre-Nurk rotation would be this.

    Lillard (36) / Turner (12)
    Hood (30) / Simons (18)
    Batum (28) / Layman (20)
    Davis (24) / Aminu (24)
    Leonard (18) / Hernangomez (18) / Davis (12)

    Once Nurkic returns, I'd like for Portland to trade Leonard for a backup wing (Courtney Lee, hopefully better?)

    Lillard (36) / Simons (12)
    Hood (20) / Lee (20) / Simons (8)
    Batum (22) / Layman (18) / Hood (8)
    Davis (30) / Aminu (18)
    Nurkic (26) / Hernangomez (16) / Davis (6)

    Okay Lavar. Speak it into existence then.

    I've seen all this "hope" many different times, and it's always gotten dashed. I'm just going off history. If AD is in a Blazers uniform next year I'll be more shocked than I've ever been at a move.

    Could even do a 2023 1st, but make the 2021 1st lottery protected and if it doesn't convey, then it turns immediately into a 2022 2nd.

    can you imagine a front line of AD and Nurkic when he’s back! Well imagining it is probably all we get...

    I actually dont really know what to think. Itd be awesome if it happened, but the fact were all talking about it, makes me think if there was something there it’s already fallen through.

    After the trade "Portland was pushing hard for Anthony Davis and were close to completing a trade, but things fell through late Sunday night. Anthony Davis is a Laker."
