    Jordan might be a Blazer? Jordan might be a Ruse.

    Here is a link to G-Fs and G-Fs in their first 3 years. If Neil does another one of his value trades, then Super Mario makes sense.

    I like the idea of Hezonja but we could just sign him in FA and not give up anything now.

    I wonder what his value is though. A second? We’d also have to match salaries. Unless we just split the TPE

    If Nurkic wants to stay in this league, he must style his hair just like DeAndre. Dr. Frankenstein could make a plaster cast of Jordan's head and fit out Nurkic.

    The problem with Hezonja is that Orlando fucked his value up by not picking up his 4th year option on his rookie deal thus meaning if he is traded his bird rights aren't transferred. So one of two scenarios would play out. He'd play well and we couldn't afford to keep him or he'd play okay/bad and we could possibly afford him with the tax payer MLE but why would we keep him if he wasn't any good? Unfortunately this doesn't seem like a good idea to go after him.

    OK, I take back what I said. If Thompson and JR are what LAC is getting as DJ bait, then absolutely ET and either Meyers or Mo may be in play. Hell, I might add a protected later first if they did that.

    Let's trade a perfectly healthy player for one who is injured every season. Nice one.

    Time to change that moniker too buddy.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I mean, Cleveland could also offer Smith and Thompson for Antetokounmpo. The fact that they offered it (in this hypothetical), doesn't mean a slightly better or substantially similar offer is "in play."

    The Clippers aren't taking a bunch of bad contracts for Jordan--they'd be better off (by far) letting him walk for nothing.

    That's a concept that sometimes is lost among Blazer fans.

    Woj says the Portland Trail Blazers have backed off in their pursuit of Deandre Jordan.

    Woj said they’d rather let him go for nothing than take on a bad contract, even if it came with a first. I think they’re all in on Lebron and/or the summer of 2019
