    Sorry, I should have said Blazers legend MyLe.

    So, We trade with the Kings, Hart + Nurk for Sabas Jr?

    I really like Sochan as our pick, especially if they can move a few spots and pick up another asset. Then, if Grant and whoever don't work out, we would still have Nas and Sochan as a very good pairing for the future.

    Wasn't saying he could be. A sign and trade after the moratorium sure, but it's not happening.

    I’m completely in agreement with you on that. If Nas for sure is healthy, then we’ve essentially filled out our starting forward spots.

    Hayward, while often injured, is still super efficient when he plays. I love the idea of Hayward because I can easily see him being what Horford was for the Celtics. While one of our starters is making rookie money, I think Hayward off the bench could be a guy that can be relied on for 30mpg any night. He’s been playing 32-34mpg the last two years, you can have him come off the bench for anywhere from 25-30mpg.

    Overall this would be the framework of the team if we got Hayward and #13, then trading up for Sochan with #13 and others, and drafting Daniels at #7:
    Dame/Ant/Nas/Grant/Nurk
    Ant/Hart/Hayward/Sochan/____
    Daniels/Keon/Daniels/Watford/Brown III
    That is without the MLE.

    I’m REALLY hoping we don’t trade #7 for OG.

    You must have missed the posts that kept repeating that the other day.

    If this deal falls through, how many here will be upset and how many will just laugh?

    Grant is better as a SF anyway.

    You laugh because that is all there is left to do and it is what you come to expect from the Blazers. But, when the trade goes through, you celebrate because moves like this don't generally happen for Portland.

    Which is why I wouldn’t give up #7 for OG. At least by taking on Hayward, we get an asset in return.

    I would rather start Nas and have Hayward backing up at the 3 for one (or both) seasons, then drafting two guys with #7 and #13. Of course OG is better than guys like Sharpe and Mathurin right now, but I would rather have those guys at a rookie deal. Nas and Hayward and a rookie will be just fine for the time being.

    Any combination of Sharpe and Sochan, or Mathurin and Sochan, or Daniels and Sochan, will be better than OG in a few years time. Sochan and Daniels could be immediate impacts defensively, and soon could prove not to be shooting liabilities.

    Hayward gets paid too much to be a backup.

    How would we trade for Hayward and still have the 7th pick?

    Neither Mathurian or Sharpe will drop to 13.

    They are trying to clear cap space to re-sign Miles Bridges this summer and then LaMelo next summer from what I’ve read, and are offering #13 or #15 for a team to take Hayward.
