    We got Pau Gasol that is enough out of the geriatric pool. I did not vote because I did not see the choice of " Only after a Lobotomy" or maybe better yet "Turners Contract is over we need another to screw us for the rest of Dames career". Going all in this year does not make sense AT ALL.
    Too many variables outside of Hood, Dame, and CJ. Loves last good year was in 2016 his post season was always better then his regular up to that point. 2017 he got worse and in 2018 he was injured. If Love was even remotely viable he would have been gone already.

    I know there are issues on the defensive end, but I think it would be extremely fun to watch a lineup of Dame, CJ, ___, Love and Nurkic on offense. Nurkic and Love would bang the @#$# out of them and you would have four very good 3pt shooters around Nurkic--and both bigs can pass. Even Collins/Love at the 4/5 would be extremely versatile on offense. Stotts would be drooling at the combinations and plays he could run.

    The thing is, the only reporter you can trust about Blazers stuff is Woj, Neil keeps everything secret until a move was made, which tells me that dude has no idea what he's talking about. If a report comes out that the Blazers are interested in a player you can assume that it's not true

    Did the article indicate who Portland would trade for Love?

    I'm not a huge Love fan, but it really all depends upon what we give up.

    Just so you guys know this Preston Ellis guy is suggesting the trade would be Nurkic, Bazemore, and Hood for Love.

    Dumbest shit I've heard today. That makes no sense at all.

    As I predicted earlier, there will be a thread near the trade deadline of who keep between Nurkic and Whiteside.

    No, there won't be.

    Nurk is locked up for 3 more years on an insanely nice contract. Whiteside is an expiring contract. There is no decision.

    To be fair though because of the size of Whiteside's contract and it being an expiring teams looking to get "better" would probably be less interested in Whiteside than Nurkic. With all that though, if they're trading Nurk it better be for something really freaking good.

    Nah, Nurk has so much more value to the Blazers than his perceived league wide trade value. Besides being injured kills any trade value he has. This isn't even a discussion.

    @kjironman1

    Bendblazer22's trade suggestion on BE was Bazemore, Whiteside, 2020 1st, and 2022 1st for Love and Tristan Thompson.

    Seems extensive to say the least. I could actually see the player swap but why the draft picks?

    Understand when i say "I could see the player swap" doesn't mean that it would be my choice. But i have always been in the camp that Love might be a solid contributor. He just seems to be aging quickly.

    Yeah, I don't understand any scenario where picks or a bunch of young assets are needed to acquire Love. His contract is so bad that his value shouldn't be more than expiring contracts given up. Anything more than that and I'd just tell Cleveland no.

    Is Thompson an expiring contract? Because either (a) he is, in which case why would Cleveland trade him? or (b) he isn't, in which case he's another fucking albatross contract, so why should we sweeten it with TWO FIRSTS? Plus that leaves us awfully thin at SF. I was hoping to use Whiteside for Love and Bazemore for Iguodala.

    I could see Bendy coming back with "Win Now". But mortgaging the future for 2 of the next 4 first round draft picks and being stuck in cap hell again for Kevin Love just doesn't make sense? Then he will go Nobody will come to Portland on the conversation. Then he will say Neil doesn't have the guts to make a big move.

    Oh boy... I can just hear it.

    Yeah the two firsts are a bit much and that is another good point. We would need a SF still.
