    I just don’t believe it. We could’ve just renounced Nurkic if it was such a big deal. This almost sounds like a leak by Olshey.

    Totally a leak by Neil... he is such a con artist... he just wants to make excuse that he was close when he does nothing

    Neil talked about discussions that nothing came of at the Draft. Now he leaks something that didn't happen? This has happened before.

    He is fast becoming the eternal excuse maker.

    You certainly aren't going to get the agent to agree to that deal if there is any hint that his other client is being renounced. Come on now. The agent has to look out for both of his players. Cousins gets to rehab this year and win a 'ship and then get paid next year.

    It’s getting really boring hearing him talk about things not coming together. I don’t want to hear it. Either do something or get the fuck out.

    So looks like Nurk will sign a one year with us, become an free agent next summer and then we will sign Boogie to the Max!

    The upside to this is if this story is true, then CJ is available. Can’t see how else that sign and trade would’ve been constructed (that also made sense for the pelicans)

    If the agent gets cousins here, and nurk gets renounced, there aren't good options for his other client to sign somewhere. It makes perfect sense

    The nba is a joke for allowing this to happen.

    It might've been a pseudo long game tank actually. We would've lost CJ and other key players and Cousins would've been in rehab. We could've missed playoffs, gotten a pick, and then added a hopefully healthy Cousins. Not a horrible idea. Yes, Cousins could never be the same but in Portland, you have to take those risks to get talent.

    We can still do it if we traded CJ for Kawhi. If Kawhi walks it’d clear up space to go after Cousins. We’d also have a couple expirings we could attach to a pick to open up more space.

    The stockpiling of guards is starting to make more sense. CJ could be on the move.

    Yep. Just for excitement level, I want Kawhi, Griffin, Love, or Melo in that order. I'd like Beasley too.

    Teams playing against them should just not even come out of the locker room in protest. Thatll put a stop to these overinflated super teams.

    If you think about it CJ has more value than Oladipo did back when Indiana traded George. A Kawhi/CJ trade could happen.
