    But that's why it might not be a bad idea to help in this situation if a high pick is involved.

    Rich Paul is trying to will AD to the Lakers. I don't think it will work though.

    What are you saying, that we would land that pick? That would mean giving up a major rotational player. Olshey ain’t doing that.

    Add BOS first round picks in perpetuity going NO's way. We also pop under the tax with this to get a full MLE.

    I just don't see a 3 team deal the Blazers would be involved in that would improve them nearly as much as it would improve LAL if they are just facilitating a trade of AD.
    If they get the #4 then that means almost definitely they gave up a major piece of their own, like CJ, and the #4 for CJ would be a terrible trade for Portland.
    If their trading ET to get cap space, then ok? but I doubt LAL or NO want ET enough that he would be a piece needed for this type of trade.

    I don't see any 3 team deals where the Blazers are involved to help the Pels and the Lakers where it doesn't just make LAL a lot better and the Blazers get anything significant.

    It's the price for taking on Hayward's deal.

    Nepotism involves relatives and favors. It doesn't really pertain to non relatives that are acquaintances or friends or fof's.

    I don’t know about all that but Turner and Moe/Leonard for Hayward is a trade I’ve long wanted, and if Boston gets Davis they’d probably even more motivated to dump Hayward’s contract.

    seems to me that Davis and his agent have the advantage in getting what they want. To a team he prefers sooner or later.

    My theory is this is all bullshit. Here’s the formula

    1. Put out tweet about how a major market team is trying to get deal done (just like every other team that’s called the pelicans, but those aren’t as interesting)

    2. Follow up tweet with link to story, which is essentially the same as the first tweet, just with more filler.

    Traffic. Work done. That’s it.

    I work for KOHLER's installation division.

    We remodel bathrooms and install showers, baths, Walk-in baths etc.

    KOHLER is an ALL AMERICAN company.

    Again, this is bullshit. If LA fails to land Davis, you really think they're gonna waste yet another year of Lebron's career to wait for Davis in 2020? They're gonna blow their capspace on someone like Boogie or Tobias. LA does not have the leverage that Rich Paul thinks it does.
