    This is a good trade. Hart can help and more salary dump. Cj was a ball hog unfortunately and just doesn't fit the system. Great guy, very respectable, but this had to happen.

    Agreed, CJ is a class act but just wasn't ever the right fit next to Dame. Hopefully if Ant isn't either we figure that out quickly and move on from him or Dame if it has to be that way in a much much much more timely manner.

    Really--NAW instead of Hayes or Murphy? Why is this franchise allergic to forwards?!

    CJ is a great guy from everything I've seen. I'm sorry to see him go. I really wonder if Dame is going to stick around now.

    Dude said he is allocating money to other positions and he has only gotten guards in return

    That is underwhelming. Was hoping to get Hayes or Murphy. Not very good....

    We were spoiled with decades of Lucas and Williams and Robinson and Grant and Wallace and Randolph and Aldridge. Now we're cursed to have substandard forward play for the foreseeable future.

    When Woj said the team was going to look different after the deadline, did he mean it was going to be all guards?

    Pels already traded it to Memphis last summer. If it falls anywhere between 11-30 it goes to MEM. If it somehow climbs into top 10, only then does NO have control of it.

    No size coming back. We continue to add more guards. Ghost of Olshey is still strong.

    Maybe that is coming next now that we have some first round draft picks.

    actually its the other way around, its not always about the money, sometimes it's where you want to live a raise your kids. He has all the money he will ever need and his brand is gold.

    At least they're 6'5", 6'5" and 6'7"... not that I expect them all to be around for long.

    You gotta wonder who else Portland is sending out? Zeller? McLemore? Snell?

    Great idea. If we move him, it will be for a player.

    I was gonna do Cronin.

    Clearly not McLemore or DSJ--we've got to keep all the little guys. Probably just Zeller and Snell.

    Fwiw, nance and Hart are like best friends.

    Now we just need to add Randle and we have that 2016 Lakers trio of future guys that all set picks for Kobe in his 60 pt finale

    I’m sure Dame will be thrilled with the prospects of a first round pick two years from now helping the Blazers to build a contender in Dame’s window.
