    he also is already good and has 2 yrs left on rookie scale and CJ makes near 25 mil per, thats a significant factor as well

    I'd probably be interested in giving up 26 for this package.

    Crazy High Risk, High Reward. I'm generally a bit more risk averse, but it still sounds great to me.

    Are anyone else's eyes bleeding from staring at their phone too much?

    It looks like Dame is interested for the Blazers to go get Porzingis for us.

    In that the Blazers' tax situation would benefit greatly from a CJ for KP trade (that won't happen).

    Those aren't mutually exclusive concepts. 15/20 for 10 along with 26 for 36/39 would make a lot of sense, especially if the Kings really are highly interested in Giles, who would likely be just as available at 15 as he is at 10.

    And for the team having a larger MLE and the ability to do S/T deals.

    I'm talking relative value of each asset, Zinger on his rookie deal for 2 more years vs CJ at 25 mil per adds quite a bit of "value' to Zingers side of the ledger -makes him more valuable

    Don't attach first round picks to drop contracts. I'll be very pissed if we do this.

    Josh Jackson is already 20 years old fwiw.

    All this hype about teams climbing up for him might be a smoke screen. Still think he's the one who drops tonight.
