Listening to rip city radio theybjust said woj has mentioned a rumor involving the blazers. Turner and CJ for kawhi... has anyone seen this tweet or heard this rumor? I can’t seem to find it
Olshey would be a dumbass to not offer up CJ for Kawhi Leonard. But it ain’t happening. Not this rumor anyway.
That would be unbelievably good for Portland. Too bad trades can't happen until after the season is over
Kawhi’s pretty much burned his bridges with the Spurs. They’re certainly going to be entertaining offers this summer. Given that his contract has a player option after next season, trading CJ for him would be massively short sighted.
It'd have to include more than Kawhi, because combined CJ and Turner make like 42 million. Healthy Kawhi? Yes. Current Kawhi? No. And I really have grown to love CJ.

Could you imagine if the Spurs pampering of Aldridge internally is pushing Kawhi away. Picture kawhi showing up to the gym and Aldridge is in the corner like leonidas being fed grapes by his concubines.
No way we have enough to offer for him. Celtics beat us out by offering two of Hayward, Brown and Tatum. If its an opt in-and-trade or a sign-and-trade, I definitely like our chances, as if he wanted to come here as we wouldn't have to compete against anyone (we could keep CJ), and Meyers Turner, and Harkless will be expiring. We could possibly get Kawhi in the summer of 2019 for the expiring contracts of Meyers, Turner, Harkless, and any number of Future 1sts. I expect 2019 to be the summer of dreams. Our bad contracts will be expiring, and there will be a lot of decent free agents that we could swing a sign-and-trade.
If the Spurs offered Kahwi up in a great trade, then I am sure he would. But is Olshey going to actively go out of his way to break up two players he drafted and has had great success with? No I don't think so.
to the people saying they wouldnt give up cj for kawhi........really? thats taking over valueing our players to entirely new level im not sure this board has seen before
Shocking that in March, in the middle of the playoff run, that this was not a legitimate trade rumor.........
So, you would trade CJ away knowing that you get one season of Kawhi and then he’s going to be an unrestricted free agent looking for a max contract and, likely, brighter lights than Portland? Really?
too much risk for just a single sure year. are we sure the spurs wouldnt take meyers and turner? i know pops has been lusting after a bench replacement for sean marks - meyers is an obvious fit here.
In a second. Kahwi is not one that is 'looking for brighter lights'. He wants to win... period. It's highly likely that he'd re-sign. CJ is very good, but he's not an all-star level guard. Kahwi is MVP level. You make that trade every day of the week without a second thought.
I’d give up CJ and our first and take a shit contract(if they have any)if that got it done. One season with the pdx fans and teammates and I would have no doubts about him signing an extension, just like PG would have. If u pair Dame/Kawhi/Nurk it’s more balanced and we would challenge for the title, especially if Zach continues his progress.
Then you have a GAPING hole at the 2 to be filled by who Pat? Please stop with the "more balanced" talk.
